This year’s Capture Summit takes place July 25-27 at The John Maxwell Leadership Center at 12Stone Church. One of our Capture sponsors is B&H Photo, a group of people passionate about video production, lighting, and audio. We talked with B&H Account Rep Nick Mastromarco about the company’s involvement at Capture.
Capture: What does B&H do?
Mastromarco: Since 1973, B&H has been the creative technology source for professionals with an eye for quality, value and great service. Along the way, B&H established strong working relationships with some of the world’s biggest organizations. Partnering with B&H B2B for Houses of Worship allows you to tap into technology that magnifies your message. Whether your congregation is big or small, just beginning or enjoying long-term growth, we know how to equip you for every type of service – whether in-person or virtual.
Capture: What makes B&H a good fit for churches?
Mastromarco: B&H has always been about personalized service, product expertise, and developing trusted relationships with our customers. We provide houses of worship cost effective, easy online purchasing options on our full line of technology products through a dedicated purchasing website. Worship leaders rely on our dedicated B&H B2B team to support large scale projects and advanced service requests. We carry 590,000+ items from over 7,000 brands across Photo, Video, Audio, Lighting, A/V, Computer equipment, and more.

Meet the Grass Valley team at Capture Summit 2022, along with over 500+ of your fellow church filmmakers, techs and creatives. This transformative three-day conference is designed to elevate your team’s game, from filmmaking and streaming to IMAG and video production.
Capture: What will Capture attendees find when they visit the B&H booth?
Mastromarco: At the B&H Booth, attendees will find knowledgeable staff that can help guide B2B account setup, design and recommend gear for production and all sorts of gadgets for the house of worship customer. This includes complete solutions for all types of creators including the latest video streaming equipment, pan tilt zoom (PTZ) Cameras, cinema cameras, production lighting and audio equipment for live presentations and podcasting.
Capture: What are some of the most interesting B&H church projects?
Mastromarco: At B&H the project is never the most interesting part. It is always the customer. We can design and build any production project from large scale studio camera systems in mega churches, mobile production vans that allow your staff to take the show on the road to the smallest single camera streaming system that allows your less-mobile congregants to continue to receive the message. The best part is always working with our customers to help bring their visions to reality.
Capture: What can Capture attendees learn from visiting B&H at Capture?
Mastromarco: Capture attendees will experience the B&H philosophy. We believe in making customers, not sales. That's why we've perfected the "art of the downsell": we'll always recommend the best options based on your specific needs, rather than the price tag. The customer comes first, second and third at B&H. In addition to world class customer service, attendees will be able to put their hands on the latest technology. This could include operating a popular video switcher with a touchscreen connected device, controlling a PTZ camera over a closed IP network and diving into the menus of the latest cameras to peruse framerates and codecs. Attendees can also discuss specific projects or gather general advice. If our staff doesn’t have the answer, we have a network of tech professionals at the ready that can jump into the conversation.
