Our Services
Short-Form Video
Platform-native video captured in real outdoor environments and designed to perform on TikTok, Reels, and paid social. Each piece is shot with intention; focused on pacing, movement, and storytelling, so it feels authentic while supporting brand campaigns and launches.
Stop Motion
Clean, intentional stop motion assets that add depth and movement to your content library. Ideal for social, web, and paid placements, these clips are designed to highlight product details while maintaining visual consistency with your broader campaign.
Lifestyle Photography
Professional lifestyle imagery captured in natural, location-based settings across the Blue Ridge and Appalachian regions. These visuals are designed to place products into real moments and environments, creating a strong sense of place while remaining polished and campaign-ready.
Still + Video Bundles
Many brands choose a combination of photography and video to maximize usage and consistency across platforms. Bundled projects allow for cohesive storytelling, stronger campaign alignment, and a flexible library of assets built from a single shoot.
👋🏼 Hey! We're Brittany & Ryan
We’re Brittany & Ryan, founders of Mainstream Multi-Media and a location-based creative studio rooted in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.
Exploration is part of our daily lives. We spend our time hiking remote trails, navigating backcountry roads, and discovering locations most people never see! That constant access allows us to place products in environments that feel expansive, natural, and real.
Our approach blends storytelling, location, and strategy. We create professional photography and short-form video that immerses audiences in the places where it’s captured, while still supporting the practical needs of modern brand marketing and social performance.
For brands, this means location-driven visuals without the logistical burden of travel- delivered with consistency, intention, and long-term usability.

Why Location-Based Content Works
Most brand content is created in controlled studio environments. While clean and consistent, it often lacks depth, scale, and emotional pull.
Our work places products inside real landscapes—mountain overlooks, forest trails, riversides, and backcountry terrain—so audiences feel transported.

Common Questions

We work with outdoor, beverage, food, wellness, and lifestyle brands that value intentional, location-driven visuals. This includes both emerging and established brands looking to elevate their content through real environments rather than studio-built or AI-simulated scenes.

Start by reaching out through our inquiry form. From there, we’ll review your goals, intended usage, and timeline, then recommend a creative direction and deliverables that make sense for your brand.
-
Final delivery timelines vary by project scope, but most photo and video projects are delivered within 2–4 weeks of product delivery. If you’re working toward a launch or campaign deadline, we’ll account for that during planning.

-

-
Every project begins with a creative alignment phase where we review your brand direction, references, and goals. Location selection, styling, pacing, and composition are all guided by that strategy to ensure the final visuals feel intentional and on-brand.
-
We include a revision process to fine-tune final selections. Because we align on creative direction upfront, revisions are typically minimal and focused on refinement rather than reworking the concept.
