Arlington National Cemetery Photographers and Videographers

Nobody does it better

My name is Clifford Crittenden and I’m the owner of Arlington Media. Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the loss of your loved one. During this difficult time, we are here to help with the media coverage of your loved one’s Arlington service.

Our sole purpose is the capturing and preservation of memories at Arlington National Cemetery, through photos and videos. This is all we do — period. That’s why we’re the best.

I personally understand how important your service is, as I have family and friends buried at Arlington.

But it is more central than it first may seem apparent. For all we can ever do for our heroes is to remember them and remember what they did — and memories of these military services are transmitted to future generations through your memories and our pictures and videos.

Using long-range lenses allow us to capture private moments without interfering in the solemnity of the service’s military rites. Through captivating professional video and photography, we can bring the service to loved ones who couldn’t be there, and provide a moving memorial you and your family will cherish for years to come.

So a year from now, or 50 years from now, you and your descendants can hear the playing of Taps or see the fluttering of the flag, or a flyover in tribute to your loved one’s service and the memory and the importance of that day will again be in the forefront of your minds and hearts. We have worked with tens of thousands of families. I personally understand how important your service is, as I have family and friends buried at Arlington.

Our job on every service, every day, is to be able to handle whatever happens, no matter how unexpected or unanticipated while still being professional and unobtrusive. We know where to be and when, and more importantly, where not to be.

My team and I look forward to working with you,

Clifford Crittenden
Owner, Arlington Media, Inc.

Cliff was knowledgeable and calming. Everything was just as he said. It was contactless and Cliff kept me informed through a series of texts so I never had to wonder about anything. The quality of the web streaming was great. The video is priceless! There are views of the service I didn't even notice. Now we have such a wonderful celebration of our father memorialized.

Flowers and Arrangements

We are often asked if our videographers or photographers can bring flowers with them for families to place on the grave at the end of the service. The short answer: you would not want us to.

The long answer: Arlington Media covers on average three to four services a day. Adding a stop at the grocery store to pick up flowers brings an additional level of unneeded complexity. Our attention needs to be solely on covering your service. Imagine having your airline pilot involved with the catering of your flight.

Arlington Media are Arlington National Cemetery service coverage experts,
Arlington Cemetery Florist are floral experts.

Second Generation Arlington Photographer

My great-grandfather – Edwin Andress (1889-1987) – influenced me to become a photographer. As a young man, he served in WWI as a chaplain and was wounded in France. He then served as a US Army military-photographer during WWII and Korea.

He later had a camera shop in the Ft. Washington area of Maryland. My mother, who gave me my first camera, recalls going to Arlington National Cemetery with him when she was little, where he would take pictures. I, too, was fascinated with his tremendous photo albums as a child.

Everyday, we do what it takes for those who served.

He died when I was 18, and upon holding one of his cameras in my hands, I knew I would become a photographer. (That’s him and a chubby me in 1970.)

In 1987, I began working as a cameraman’s assistant for a small TV news company on Capitol Hill, and eventually opened their Moscow Bureau as chief photographer a few years later. Over the next 15 years, I covered and produced news from every continent – including from the South Pole – working for national and international broadcast outlets like CBS News, NBC News, the BBC, and many more. Winning three Emmys^® (regional and national) and a Peabody^® award.

I’ve covered events in the U.S. from the 1988 presidential campaign to the riots in Miami to conflicts around the globe, including the invasion of Panama, the fall of the Soviet Union, Desert Storm and Kosovo. After September 11, I covered the aftermath and military response, and subsequently traveled to the Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan and Indonesia, often embedding with U.S. troops.

It was the second Persian Gulf war in 2003 that brought me back to Arlington. That March, I covered the K.I.A. crash of two US Air Force pilots in North Iraq. Being part of that Arlington service in Section 60 that August, I knew I would continue my great-grandfather’s Arlington legacy.

Since then, my company’s sole focus has been covering services at Arlington. I have family, friends and colleagues buried at Arlington, I know the importance of every aspect of every service. That’s why everyday, we do what it takes for those who served.

This is all we do
