Meet Blue Mantle
We’re a small team of passionate creatives who care about representing your brand in an authentic way.
Blue Mantle Media is a creative video production agency based in the Ohio Valley.
Since 2008 we have done our best to tell beautiful and authentic stories that help our clients connect with their audiences.
Whether you’re a small business, a travel brand, an educational institution, a non-profit —whatever it may be— we’d love to hear from you!
Our hope is to come to know and understand your brand and your needs, and then to partner with you in creating content that can further your goals and your mission.
Even though we’re based in the Ohio Valley, we travel around the country —and when we’re lucky, the world— to create content that inspires and engages.

How can our passions help you?
We love capturing beautiful imagery.
We’ve filmed in the rain, snow, and scorching heat. We’ve climbed mountains to ‘get the shot’, stayed up all night capturing timelapses, camped under the stars, and walked hundreds of miles (not all at once!).
At the end of the day —and at its beginning— we love capturing beautiful imagery, and we’ll go out of our way to make that happen for you.
We love traveling.
We’ve filmed in 21 countries, 48 states (I’m looking at you, Alaska and Hawaii!), 19 National Parks, and many major cities around the world.
Travel allows us to experience and highlight the beauty of our world, and we’re blessed that our work has given us this opportunity.
We love growing.
Whether it’s learning a new filmmaking technique, understanding a new business concept, or researching a new marketing trend, we’re constantly striving to grow in ways that will help our clients.
Our hope is that our growth translates to your growth.
Why a mix of personal and client projects?
You might have noticed that some of the videos on this site are not client videos. We try to strike a balance between working on client projects and working on our own personal projects. We find the personal projects challenge us in new ways. They give us room to experiment —and to sometimes make mistakes— with new filming and editing techniques.
Our hope is to grow creatively through these projects; to take what we learn from them and apply it to our client work. We’re always trying to improve in ways that will help our clients!
