“It was wonderful to work with Maine Imaging for aerial photos of our campus. Dave was both professional and flexible with us and the photos came out beautifully. I would work with this company again, if I had the opportunity, and would recommend them to anyone who is looking for outstanding aerial photos.”

"Dave Cleaveland has been providing exceptional aviation photography services to PlaneSense, Inc. since early 2017. As the head of the Marketing department, I have found him to be incredibly professional, as well as knowledgeable and respectful of airport regulations, which is very important. I’ve worked with other photographers who have not been respectful of the regulations, so I greatly value Dave’s attention to detail and continue to hire him whenever we have a new photography project. Our pilot management team also respects Dave’s expertise and ability to follow safety protocols. They are relieved when I tell them he’ll be the photographer on a particular shoot. Dave’s photography skills are incredible. It’s not easy to take photos of moving aircraft from a moving helicopter but he has never disappointed us with his photos and video. He also gets amazing photos of our fleet on the ground in many different locations. We continue to use his photos from a multi-day shoot across Colorado in 2018. He always makes sure we get the photos we need and suggests additional shots or angles we haven’t considered. He is certainly an asset to our team!"

"Maine Imaging is the best aerial photography and videography company we have worked with in the history of EVER!! Dave Cleaveland, Owner, does whatever it takes to achieve client elation. He listens, he’s a true artist with the camera, and he is an absolute delight to work with. We heartily recommend him to anyone who wants and needs a fine video or photography shoot. His company is versatile, responsive, and perfectionist. Our video showcasing the Inn At Cuckolds Lighthouse has drawn great numbers of visitors and “likes" (actually, “loves”) to our offshore island Lighthouse Inn and our social media outlets. And it’s not the easiest place to shoot, as it sits on a small granite island in the middle of the ocean! "

"Dave Cleaveland from Maine Imaging has a unique combination of technical know-how and experience, artistic eye and sensibility, and great professionalism and customer service attitude.  The aerial video and stills Dave took of both our campuses are of very high quality, and will be central to several marketing pieces we'll be developing over the next year.

“We have used Dave Cleaveland and Maine Imaging twice now to photograph Portland Yacht Services from the air. We use these images in our marketing material, especially for the large banners we hang at trade conferences. Dave’s images are fantastic, and the high-resolution camera he uses from the helicopter gives us the large file sizes we need to make the banners. We definitely recommend Maine Imaging, and will use him again!”

“David Cleaveland’s photographs were just what we were looking for to capture the rivers, lakes, and mountains of Maine. The photos were not the typical shots easily accessible and recognizable as Maine places. They were the result of lengthy hikes and a keen eye for Maine in its natural state. The photographs provided a look at Maine from the standpoint of an outdoors person who really gets away from it all.”

“I love working with Dave for our commercial real estate photography. He’s fast, reliable, and of course an incredibly talented photographer. When I ask Dave to shoot a property, I know I will receive quality images when I need them. He is extremely easy to work with and has gone above and beyond to accommodate our tight deadlines countless times. On top of all this, he delivers the images so quickly it impresses me every time. Highly recommend Maine Imaging!!”

"I have ten years of experience working with various media, marketing and graphic design consultants for based on the needs of MTA. Dave Cleaveland is among those that I have worked with and someone who uniquely stands out. Dave’s work is excellent. He takes great photos and is very conscientious about scheduling his shoots based upon ideal weather conditions to get quality shots. His communication skills are outstanding -- he is prompt in his responses whenever I have questions leading up to a shoot and he always reaches out to let us know when he has other work happening along the Turnpike corridor to see if we have any need for additional photos. We have oftentimes said yes in these instances. Without his reaching out, we wouldn’t have nearly as many great photos as we currently do. The service Dave provides is always timely. It is not uncommon for us to have the photos within a day or two of the shoot. His billing is just as timely and always accurate. He is an all-around great guy with stellar skills, making Dave a joy to work with."

"I can't get over how great these pictures came out. Unbelievable. Thanks for doing such a great job! I am so excited to use these photos on several marketing venues. We don't have too many projects that would be fit for aerial before-after pictures, but when we do, you are without a doubt the person we will turn to."

“We assigned Dave to shoot aerial photos of one of our wind farms and found him to be tremendously accommodating. When the weather for our shoot turned out to be less than ideal, Dave offered to shoot the project again on a sunnier day at no additional cost. The pictures looked terrific.”

“Dave made things easy for me from day 1, he explained to me how he does his work clearly and followed through timely, with nothing but more quality photos then we asked for! He is a designer of sorts in the way he craftily works out the path of approach with his pilots and takes the images the way he does. Our first time working with David leads us to want to come back to him for many more projects in the future for our business and personal dealings that would require a terrific photographer/business owner! Dave's willingness to help us develop this project and his follow-through after its completion were also appreciated, and we look forward to working with Maine Imaging in the future."

"I have been delighted with the aerial photos I have purchased from Dave Cleaveland of Maine Imaging. Recently I hired him to shoot helicopter aerials of a prominent public building that had just finished construction, and he sent me a huge assortment of clear photos from every conceivable angle, including views showing plenty of neighborhood and city context. Those photos immediately found their way into our social media posts, press releases, and competition submissions. His prices are reasonable, he’s good about keeping in touch about dates and places, and the photos are terrific."
