If i could leave 0 stars I would… My wife and I got married in December of 2023 and just received our “video” after almost 8 months. After multiple emails and reminders asking when it would be done we finally received the “video” at 3:51am after my wife emailed them the same day 8 hours before. Obviously this was rushed and they waited until the last minute to “edit the video”. Before receiving the video we were given multiple samples of what to expect for our package well let’s just say it was over 2 hours long with a somewhat edited ceremony with no intro and the rest of the hour and a half is a still shot in the corner of the room of the reception with 4 5 second close up shots that didn’t even include our final dance……
We contacted the company and after multiple rude emails i was able to get on the phone with Mike and he said “i have 22 years of experience and this was completely edited if you want to pay more we can upgrade your video” completely unprofessional would never recommend to anyone buyers beware!!! Also our cousin carried a mini recorder the entire wedding day and sent us a beautiful edited video within a week MILES BETTER THAN THIS COMPANY!! We are sending her our “edited video” from this company and she’s going to make our new video. Stay away at all costs, go with someone else that can actually capture your beautiful forever day!

Stephanie,
I'm sorry we didn't meet your expectations on your wedding video. We did produce what you contracted us for. I wish you and Joshua the best in your marriage.

We couldn’t be happier with our wedding videos from Artistic Wedding Films! These folks are true artists and such a pleasure to work with! They were so helpful (and full of great ideas) throughout the planning process, and they were always super organized and responsive. AWF captured so many special moments and details throughout the day, and edited everything together beautifully. We had an amazing experience with AWF, and we’re so grateful to the whole team!
Mike and his team at Artistic Wedding Films were absolutely amazing for our wedding day. They truly went above and beyond to make sure our day was special. We got married on July 4th, and Mike and team led and captured every special moment, including drone shots of fireworks! Mike is a great person who takes the time to truly get to know his couples. Miked also worked perfectly with our photographers (sharing shots, angles, and laughs). Thank you so much for a great experience and beautiful highlight video!

Thanks for your kind words Erin. Hope all is well
Any questions?
I had an amazing experience working with the Artistic wedding films team. They made everything so easy from the first kick off call until the day we got the final film. Niko and Tommy were so awesome on the day of my wedding and made me feel so comfortable the entire time. We were blown away with the final results. I highly recommend this team for your wedding day!

Thank you and it was our pleasure being a part of your wedding day.
We recently had the pleasure of working with Mike at Artistic Wedding Films who not only met, but exceeded our wildest expectations. From the initial consultation to the final delivery, every moment with Mike was filled with professionalism, creativity, and fun.
Mike has an incredible talent and captured every moment of our big day and turned it into a cinematic masterpiece. His attention to detail is truly remarkable and we were very happy with his ability to transform our day into a beautifully edited wedding video that we can relive over and over again.
Mike demonstrated exceptional professionalism throughout the entire process. His humor and friendly vibe made us feel comfortable and allowed him to blend seamlessly into the background, capturing authentic moments without intruding on the day's natural flow.
If you are searching for a wedding videographer who can transform your special day into a timeless masterpiece, look no further!
The best AAA+++ service from Mike and crew. They captured the best moments and made everyone comfortable being on camera. Even our 4 and 5 year old flower girl and ring bearer smiled perfectly. With the perfect venue and other top rated vendors the wedding was purely magical! And it was perfectly shown in the finished videos. I would highly recommend Artistic to everyone.
Mike and his team were absolutely incredible! They were such a positive fun influence on our wedding day. He provided great direction for us and created the most perfect wedding video (much faster than I imagined!!). I cannot recommend them enough - if we had to do our wedding again, we would hands down go with Mike and his team over and over again.
Mike and his team were absolutely amazing, professional, helpful, and so kind during the wedding process! they helped run such a smooth planned out day and did an amazing job creating the wedding video of our dreams I highly recommend them if you are looking for a videographer!
When we were looking for a team to make our wedding film, we had no idea how much work, talent and artistry went into it. When our photographer recommended we check out Artistic Wedding Films, I reached out right away. Artistic Wedding Films brought our true fairytale of a wedding to life, capturing every magical detail and turning it into a video that will last a lifetime. The energy that Mike and his team brought to our wedding day is unmatched. From actually helping me get into my bridal gown, to positioning everyone and everything to pure perfection throughout the day is something I will never forget. The Featured Film is so special to us because it had every phase of our day so delicately stitched together, transporting us right back to that day. If you are like me and are dreaming of a perfect wedding film, Artistic Wedding Films is the vendor for you!
Artistic Wedding Films is truly amazing. Mike made my wedding day incredibly special by filling the room with lighthearted moments and making potentially stressful moments funny and uplifting. He also shot my sister's wedding, and although my mom was initially against hiring a videographer, after seeing Mike's work, it was a no-brainer to hire him for my wedding four years later. Mike's work on the day of the wedding was exceptional, and the final video he produced was beyond incredible. I have watched it more than a hundred times and every time, I cry happy tears. Choosing Artistic Wedding Films as your vendor will be the best decision you make for your special day. You will not regret it.
I cannot possibly recommend Artistic Wedding Films more highly. Mike & his team were incredible to work with from start to finish. Mike is extremely talented and detail-oriented, and his ongoing support & guidance during the planning stages were absolutely critical to ensuring our wedding day went smoothly. Mike & his team were phenomenal on our wedding day. They were extremely professional and polished, while also being genuinely enjoyable to work with. Our wedding party and family had so much fun working with Mike and his team, and we shared many laughs throughout our time together. Mike was also a critical factor in ensuring that we all stuck to our schedule for the day and helped me as the Bride to navigate some unexpected issues & tense moments that arose during the weekend. Mike was extremely flexible and understanding; his empathy, humor, and positive outlook were integral in helping my husband and I to have the most incredible wedding beyond our wildest dreams.
Aside from being the most outstanding team to work with, the final deliverables were absolutely SPECTACULAR!!!! Mike and his team worked with us to make our Wedding Highlight Film unique, and were flexible with us in order to align with our vision for the finished product. The Wedding Trailer & Film that they delivered were incredibly stunning, and it literally looks like I am watching a dream of my wedding day (I have to keep reminding myself that this is REAL footage!). We are absolutely amazed by the work that Artistic Wedding Films has done to capture our wedding day, and we will be forever grateful to have these beautiful memories preserved forever. We feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Artistic Wedding Films and would HIGHLY recommend them to all future Brides & Grooms!
Our videographer was the first to arrive and the last to leave capture all of our beautiful moments for our small wedding. We really appreciated the fast video turn around and would definitely recommend getting the uncut version as well, the bloopers are hilarious to watch later.
There is no one better in the business. The personal touch, attentiveness and positive energy brought to our event was unmatched. They captured our souls and our love, and then made the coolest video out of it! We watch it all the time and it is perfectly us! There is no one else to consider, hands down the greatest! THANK YOU!!
We were so, so happy with our wedding video we got from Artistic Wedding Films! We decided we wanted a videographer somewhat last-minute and they could not have been easier to work with. They were easy and great on our wedding day and we're so happy with how our video came out! I would definitely recommend Artistic Wedding Films!
Excellent videographer and staff to work with! Our wedding video came out awesome. Professional and highly responsive. Took great care and time to understand our vision and expectations. Great to collaborate with them before, during, and after the wedding. Definitely get the drone add on if you can!
We are from NJ and this was a recommended vendor through our venue at Belle Mer, and we were very pleased and happy with the results. Pricing matches the quality you will receive!
Mike and his team were amazing to work with. Our wedding video was edited to perfection, filled with candid and delightful moments, capturing the fun and energy of the day. During the post-production, Mike worked with me to ensure that all the cultural dances and songs are captured and edited the way I wanted. The final wedding film was edited so beautifully with high touch cinematography, bringing to life the vision I had for my wedding video. Dan and Tommy were pleasant to work with. They captured more than four hour long amazing footage, staying until the end with us. Everyone in our family loved the video. We are so happy with the services of Artistic Wedding. They gave us a wedding video that we are happy to watch again and again and again with family and friends.
Mike and his team were an absolute pleasure to work with. His charisma and upbeat energy made the entire wedding party feel comfortable and made filming fun. As fantastic as our extended trailer was, we were not prepared for how INCREDIBLE and spectacular our feature film turned out! Everyone was blown away with the cinematography, which included drone footage. Being able to relive our wedding day in detail all over again and again, we are forever grateful to Artistic Wedding Films for beautifully capturing our special day.
Invest and trust in Mike and AWF. You won't be disappointed!
Mike and his team at Artistic Wedding Films were among our absolute FAVORITE wedding vendors. Mike was great to work with and very accommodating, even when we had to push our wedding back a year due to Covid. On our wedding day, everyone had a blast working with Mike and his assistant. They had such a great way of making the filming process hilariously fun, while still beautifully capturing those more serious, intimate wedding moments. I can't say enough positive things about our experience with Artistic Wedding Films. When it came to the finished product, it is obvious that Mike is truly a master of his craft. Our film is absolutely stunning. The Artistic Wedding Films team clearly works hard to ensure that your film is personally tailored to capture the unique essence of YOUR wedding day. Thank you Artistic Wedding Films for allowing us to relive our special day in such a genuinely wonderful way!

Victoria, thank you so much for the kind words! We loved working with you and Jon! We hope you're all well and you continue to enjoy your wedding film for years to come!
Working with Mike and Artistic Wedding films was amazing. Mike and Dee were both so helpful, professional and punctual! I went to the Newport Wedding Show after getting engaged and their booth was the first I went to, when I saw the gorgeous sample footage playing I knew I wanted my wedding film done by Artistic too! The planning process was so easy and Mike was such a pro he knew all the right shots. Thank you so much for our gorgeous wedding video!
Response from the Vendor on 10/24/2022
Thanks for your kind words Brianna! We hope all is going well with you, Nick and your families! We hope you enjoy your film for years to come!
Hiring Artistic Wedding Films for our wedding was the best choice we made while wedding planning. My husband and I went back and forth about whether a wedding videographer was "worth it" if we already had a photographer who would be capturing the night in pictures. Let me tell you, its WORTH IT!!! The video captures the night in a way photographs can't.
The videographer team was truly professional, communication was excellent. Mike captured every moment but somehow was never in the way. Above all, the finished product was so beautiful and tastefully done, really showed the fun of the night and captured my husband and my personality perfectly. We watch the video regularly, it makes us so happy, we cherish it, and everyone I shared it with was blown away by the quality. If you are on the fence, go for it, you won't regret it!
We just received our wedding video back from Artistic Wedding Films and we couldn’t be happier and more grateful to the entire team that put it together! When we began the process of booking with vendors, we didn’t first think to book a videographer, but it turned out to be the most important vendor! The work that the team did for us and their positive impact on our day has made a lasting impact on all of us. We have been telling all of our friends and family about Artisitic Wedding Films and sharing the footage that they put together for us. The film more than exceeded our expectations and it is so evident how much time and effort the team put into it.
Watching the wedding film brought tears to our eyes. We never expected it to be so thoughtfully put together (especially the 2hrs of raw footage that the team clearly watched every minute of and edited to perfection). The multiple camera angles, focusing on the right details at the right time, capturing raw emotion, adding music at the right times, and the unbelievable quality of the footage all contributed to the beautiful film that they put together for us. Us and all of our friends truly felt like we were watching a movie. Investing in a videographer such as Artistic Wedding Films was the best decision that we made for our wedding day. It was worth every single penny! Some of our friends and family who were already married wished that they had known about Artistic Wedding Films after seeing our film, and our friends who aren’t married have already said that this will be the first vendor that they will book! Mike and his team were energetic and thoughtful on our wedding day and brought a relaxing and positive vibe to us and our guests. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Artistic Wedding Films!! We will be talking about your company and the film you created for decades to come. With love, The Colombo’s
Mike and his team were amazing! Very optimistic leading up to our “COVID” wedding and during the ceremony and reception you didn’t even know that they were there, yet the footage was amazing. Our wedding video turned out absolutely amazing, everything we could have hoped for! I’ve watched the video almost 2-3 x a week and every time it brings out the same wonderful emotions as the first time we saw it. The best way to explain our video is that it was completely “us” and everyone who watches it says the same. Mike and his team were the best vendor we hired for our wedding!!! Highly highly recommend, you will not regret!
Response from the Vendor on 03/17/2022
Alyssa, thank you so much for the kind words! We loved working with you and Ben and Covid definitely posed some challenges (even hitting me and I had to send a replacement to shoot for me that day!) Dan & Crystal did a great job and I agree, ...
captured the two of you and your story so well! I hope you continue to enjoy your wedding film for years to come!
Mike, Alex and crew don’t come to your wedding to record it, they come to make movie magic! The shots, angles, and scenes unfolded to make the most amazing moments! If you didn’t know us, you’d think they were actual scenes from a movie. ( and that’s unedited! ) The enthusiasm from the team was so infectious that working with them to capture these moments was so much fun!
We were not getting tired of filming this shot or that shot, we were really excited to see what incredibly creative magic scene mike had planned in his head for us to live in!
This is a whole level above professionalism, this extreme passion and love for the craft is unlike anything I’ve ever seen; coupled with the most incredible skill set.
I could not recommend Artistic Wedding Films highly enough: The process, the event, and even post process has been incredible.
It’s also super important to mention that one of our biggest concerns with hiring a videographer was making sure our wedding didn’t look like a production with all the lighting and cameras and such. Honestly, Mike and team crushed it! You would have never known, they did such a good job that we hardly even noticed!
I will come back to edit this review after the final film is finished. But the snippets I’ve seen already are SOO exciting! I’m sure there is much more to come!
Thanks Mike, Alex, and crew for all the time, hard work, and death defying stunts you had endure to capture our wedding day. We are really looking forward to see the edits!!!

Thanks so much Samantha! We loved working with you, Marcello & your entire family... so fun!
Mike and his team are nothing but the best! The moment they walk in they make you feel comfortable and special! They truly are the best at capturing love. From start to finish they capture beautiful moments in a non intrusive way! Truly they are amazing and I would recommend them to everyone!! Do not hesitate this is a must for your wedding day
I was on the fence about hiring a videographer because some weddings I've been to, they've felt intrusive. But wow, I am SO glad we decided to use Artistic Wedding Films. And not intrusive at all! The team was incredibly friendly and talented and creative with their shots.
The wedding video is now what I'm most excited to see.
They are easy to work with, listened to everything we asked and made the process fun.
I can't recommend them enough!
Mike and his team were amazing! He listend to our needs then provided a brilliant broadcasting of our micro wedding on Zoom, as well as videoing key events from the wedding. On the day it was a pleasure to have Mike as he was really positive and keen to get just the the right footage without needing guidance. Hightly reccomended!
We had such a great experience working with Mike and the team at AWF to facilitate our Zoom Wedding. He was very patient and understanding with all my questions about this new format, and on the Wedding Day, the videographer was prompt and professional in getting everyone mic-ed up and ready on time. All my friends and family watching on Zoom said it was the most engaging Zoom wedding they have seen- there were different camera angles, and the sound quality was just perfect. If you are considering offering a Zoom option, I cannot recommend Mike and his team enough!
Mike and his team were absolutely FABULOUS! I had booked another vendor for videography, and as I got closer to my wedding I got nervous about the vendor and didn't feel super solid in my choice. I was connected with Mike, and we spent about 45 minutes on the phone and I booked him immediately. He is energetic, professional, creative, and flexible - everything you would want in a vendor and videographer. His work is unbelievable - I was sold on both his portfolio and his personality, he is so easy to get along with and I felt like I had known him for years. He captures EVERYTHING! Doesn't miss a beat, and makes you feel very relaxed and comfortable throughout the day. At one point during our beach shoot the wind was insane, and Mike had all of my bridesmaids' (9) pashmina's wrapped around his neck as he was kneeling in the sand at every angle to get the best footage - SUCH a trooper! I could go on and on - bottom line is he's fantastic, our video is stunning (we got it back in 3 weeks) which I will cherish forever, and I will miss working with him! Book him :)
TLDR: Go for it, you won't regret it!
Mike and company provided a wonderful Zoom experience for our remote guests that perfectly captured our day without interfering or slowing down the ceremony. We also had him record some pre- and post- ceremony footage, and he and his team delivered a beautiful video for us to treasure forever. Editing is elegant and artful, without taking focus away from the event itself. I wouldn't change a single thing about it, which is incredible for such a personal memento.
Throughout the process, I was confident Mike would handle his side of things professionally and with little input from my wife and I. This is immensely valuable on a day when you have so much to worry about! He's also sincerely a pleasant and vibrant person that made us feel at ease, and he even left us laughing, which I'm sure helped him capture more natural footage of us.
We were also able to work with Mike to get the exact package and price point we wanted. We wanted Zoom as a minimum and maybe a recording to save, but were fortunately able to budget for some extra flourishes that really elevated edited version. At the same time, we never felt pressured to upgrade to something we couldn't afford. Everyone knows people are liable to regret spending money on frivolous wedding 'extras'. This is not frivolous, and you won't regret it.
Thank you, Mike and Artistic Wedding Films!
My wife and I were blown away by the quality of the wedding video. We highly recommend Artistic Wedding Films! 10/10
Where do I even begin?! Mike and his team captured my daughter’s wedding on November 7, 2020 in Boston, MA. From the minute Mike walked into the room, it felt like we had known him for years! His professionalism and kindness are unmatched, and his humour made everyone feel at ease! Mike even shared with us a few sneak peaks towards the end of the wedding leaving us speechless! One of the BEST decisions my daughter could have made during the wedding planning process was hiring Artistic Wedding Films! We can’t recommend Mike and his team enough!!
Having a videographer was not part of our original plans. But, covid turned out to be a blessing in disguise for us because it led us to Mike and his team to capture our wedding day for those who couldn’t be there. As we downsized the guest list and continuously changed plans, Mike and his team remained flexible with open communication. The team worked beautifully with our planner and photographer and Mike and Dan were an absolute blast on our wedding day – we and our families felt instantly comfortable with them, and they seamlessly captured every element of our day (and, given that we got married during a pandemic, it’s worth adding that we felt absolutely safe with Mike and Dan!). Mike continued to be extremely helpful and kind after our wedding day. Once we saw the finished product, we quickly realized we wanted more add-ons so we could easily share the day with friends and family who could not attend the wedding. Mike worked with us to fully capture what we were looking for and did so in a prompt and professional manner. Our wedding video is a piece of art – it’s made countless people cry and it’s such a wonderful gift to be able to share with those who couldn’t be at our wedding (and with those who were!!). Covid aside, any couple would be lucky to have Artistic Wedding Films at their wedding, and for any couple on the fence about having a videographer, from one original skeptic to another, you NEED Artistic Wedding Films. We truly could not be happier with Artistic Wedding Films and are forever grateful fo
You don’t really expect a blizzard on your wedding day in October. Due to the pandemic, my fiancé and I had a small ceremony outdoors and asked Mike from Artistic Wedding films to do our livestream so that all of our friends and family around the world could watch. Despite the actual snowstorm, Mike was amazing- a hugely positive presence throughout it all. He even helped shovel snow! He was there to help every time we had an issue with our internet connection or phones dying and filmed the whole thing beautifully. The stream went to YouTube and Zoom and Mike shared all the files with us the day after the wedding. He was a joy to work with, I only wish we would’ve had more happening to use his full filmmaking services which is actually his speciality. Very grateful for him being there for us on our special day and we watch the video of the stream back a lot! Thanks Mike!
Artistic Wedding Films did an absolute amazing job with the video of our wedding day. My husband and I planned a wedding on a ranch in Jackson, Wyoming and at the last minute decided we were going to splurge on videography. Mike and team were very accommodating and willing to come to Wyoming to film our big day. They captured beautiful clips from everything from our big day to around the town and local national parks to really make our video one that we will cherish forever!
Planning a wedding during COVID brought a few challenges but did not stop us from moving forward with our DREAM wedding! Mike and Artistic Wedding Films were fantastic to work with every step of the way! They assisted in blocking out the stresses of the world and ensured that we all enjoyed the celebration at hand day of the wedding! Knowing that Mike & Dan were by our sides, capturing all the memorable moments of our small, intimate wedding allowed for us to take a deep breath and soak up all the love of the day! We are forever grateful to have the ability to share a beautiful video that encompasses the love and joy we experienced on October 10, 2020, especially with those who were unable to attend due to the restrictions in place. We look forward to reliving the “BEST DAY EVER”, for many years to come!
After watching some of Artistic Wedding Films work, we did not consider anyone else! They were the only ones who we felt could accurately capture the full emotion of our wedding day - and they did this beyond our wildest dreams. They were so professional and made us feel super relaxed and at ease (which is a difficult thing as my husband hates having cameras on him!) They were accomodating and accessible during the editing process, keeping us updated on the timeline. They truly wanted to make sure we loved it. Which we do times a million!! They were so amazing that my sister hired them again for her wedding this upcoming year. Thank you guys for everything! Highly reccomend!
Response from the Vendor on 11/05/2020
Thanks so much Liana & Lance,
We really appreciate you taking the time to leave us reviews. We hope everyone is doing well and thanks for your kind words.
Matt and I were so fortunate to celebrate our wedding with family and friends in Manchester VT back in Oct 2019. Many loved ones who could not attend had the chance to witness the beauty and be moved by every tender word. Being able to relive that day, the way we experienced it, is a privilege. Thank you!!!
Mike and everyone from Artistic Wedding Films were incredibly kind and professional. They captured every thoughtful detail. They went above and beyond with their time and help through preparations and were a joy to work with the day of our wedding. Our other vendors also raved about them. Having open communication across vendors and being wonderful to work with, is incredibly important and will give you great peace of mind to enjoy your day!!!
If you have an idea, a vision, Mike and his team at Artistic Wedding Films will capture it.
Great job on our video. It looked like a movie. They even helped with some technical difficulties one of our other venders was having. All around awesome job.
We can’t say enough positive things about Mike and his team! We were a little hesitant and unsure if we needed a videographer in the beginning, but after hearing some reviews from friends about Artistic Wedding Films we were convinced that we did. Mike was great leading up to our day, and was always quick to respond to any questions we had. He even set up a phone call a couple of days before the wedding with his team to make a timeline for us, and to be sure he understood what we were looking for in our video. He was professional, organized, and even helped to coordinate other vendor so everything went smoothly. The day of the wedding Mike’s team was creative, professional, and went above and beyond, staying well into our wedding night to capture special moments. When we got our video back we were brought to tears and so glad that we will have the video of our wedding day forever. If you are hesitant about hiring Mike and his team..don’t be! You won’t be disappointed!
My husband and I were married August 2019 in Block Island, and we could not have been more pleased with AWF. Their communication leading up to our wedding was very timely, and Mike was great to work with to organize everything. The day of our wedding, the staff was on time and professional. They captured all of the important moments and were so comfortable to be around - keeping us laughing all day. The final product was better than we could have dreamed leaving everyone in tears- we went with both the Wedding Film Short and a Feature Film and love having both. The final product was shipped to us with an adorable and unexpected gift from AWF. Our wedding day went by so fast, and we are so happy to be able to relieve these memories and look back on the speeches for years to come. If we had to change one thing - we would have hired them for our whole wedding weekend and not just the day of!!
Mike was a true pleasure to work with from start to finish. Getting married during a pandemic, we often questioned whether a film would really be a "necessary" cost for our suddenly smaller, socially distant wedding. If this is you, do NOT question it. We love, love, love our wedding video and are obsessed with watching it. The video truly captures our amazing day and it will always be somethign that we will cherish. On our wedding day, Mike and Dan were so flexible, so easy going and so fun (even in their masks, I could tell they were happy to be there)--they made it easy to relax around them. They provided footage of our ceremony in record time, which made it wonderful for us to share it with those who were not able to attend the wedding. Our highlight video came shortly thereafter and it's truly a work of art and we are so, so happy with the finished product. In the end, having a high quality film you can share with people unable to attend because of the pandemic is all the more important during this crazy time.
If you are at all considering looking for a different videographer, don't. You have found everything you will need with Artistic Wedding Films.
I cannot say enough great things about Artistic Wedding Films. They were so easy to work with from the initial phone call to touching base as our wedding got closer, always very responsive. The 2 videographers were very professional the day of - got the shots they needed and were adaptable. Most importantly the video is absolutely INCREDIBLE!! Obviously I am biased :) but multiple people have told me it is the best wedding video they have ever seen and were blown away by the quality. The shots and experts from the speeches they chose were seamless and so incredibly well done. The final result exceeded my expectations beyond words. We made the decision to hire a videographer fairly last minute and it was the best money we spent. Worth every penny! Cannot say enough great things about Artistic Wedding Films. Highly recommend!

Thanks so much Joanna! Happy New Year! My team and I enjoyed shooting your wedding day, you guys were so great! All the best to you and Jonathan!
When we starting planning our wedding, my (now) husband and I didn't think we needed a videographer. That is until I saw the artwork Mike and his team came up with. My sister and I scoured his website for footage to watch, and kept finding ourselves coming back to one very special video (Rice and beans!!) sobbing like we had been life long friends of the couple that had gotten married. I promise, we did not know that couple, but the feeling you had watching the video was something so beautiful - that is how truly talented Artistic Wedding Films is.
After speaking with Mike on the phone, I knew that he had to be part of our day. Mike's enthusiasm and excitement about what he does is infectious. When you meet Mike, whether on the phone or in person, you very quickly realized that he is such a genuine person, who's aim is to capture just how epic your wedding day is. In one of our final calls, I told Mike that I had a surprise for my husband the morning of our wedding, which I was obviously excited about. Mike was almost as excited as I was and I could hear the wheels spinning in his head thinking about how he was going to capture the lead up, the moment, and the aftermath. Let me tell you, I could see and feel those wheels spinning the entire time Mike was with us. You can just feel his creativity for shots - I cannot wait to see our final edit.
My mom, who wasn't sold on the idea of a videographer, generally speaking, literally hasn't stopped talking about how she couldn't have imagined our wedding without Mike and his team and how much she loved them. I couldn't agree more.
SPRINT to snag Mike and his team for your day.

Thanks so much Katie! My team and I enjoyed shooting your wedding day, you guys were so great! All the best to you and Jon!
Mike and his team are simply incredible. They adapted to every single schedule and addressed every small detail while creating a plan to bring our vision to life. There are no words to describe their professionalism.
During the day-of shooting, Mike was able to keep the mood light and stress-free, while somehow also entertaining the ring bearers and flower girls to achieve the perfect shot. He literally sprinted around to ensure drones were filming while cameras were capturing every aspect of the event in pursuit of telling our perfect story.
I own and manage a wedding venue and have the privilege of working with some of the industry’s leading event professionals. Among all my experiences, Mike and his team are true artists and second to none. We could not recommend them more.
When we were searching for a Videographer we landed on Mike at Artistic Wedding Films for many reasons... Mike’s reputation proceeds him, he is absolutely one of the Top Videographers not only in the Region, but in the Nation. Mike’s work is second to none, he is amazing at his craft of capturing special moments and editing them beautifully. Having said that, now that our Wedding has come and gone, we want to tell future brides and grooms why you should really hire Mike....His kindness, that of himself and his entire team. Wedding days can be stressful...and one of the hardest things is to corral people to where they are supposed to be. Why? Because thats the money shot! The video that will carve their place in time and most importantly, in your hearts forever. Working with Mike and his team was not only professional, but it was OUR HONOR as a bride, groom and entire bridal party - to work with him and his team... due to their genuine kindness with us and with our family. We are so thankful that he treated us with this level of respect on our Wedding Day, it was something that made our day so special and magical. And it is something that we will never, ever forget. Mike at Artistic Wedding Films is aces all the way, the REAL DEAL. We highly recommend, FIVE ENORMOUS STARS!!!
Should you get a videographer? YES! And we highly recommend Mike and his team at Artistic Wedding Films. Several of our newlywed friends prior to and after regretted not hiring a professional videographer. Uncle Al and his Hi-8 hand-held camera from 1993 panning all over the place with personal commentary? NO! Seriously, go with the professionals. Several in-person consultations on our schedule, Mike and his team really made us comfortable in the videographer planning process and took the time to get to know us. They really took the time in energy in getting to know what we we’re looking for, what we liked, what we didn’t like captured throughout our wedding, what type of shots, scenes, moments, etc. They listened attentively, and understanding and knowing our venue in advance, planned everything out accordingly with equipment, lighting, sound … even a drone!
On our wedding day, both patient and professional, as well as extremely awesome around our little niece / flowergirl who was a bit fussy with all the videography (terrible-twos), Mike and Dan did a fantastic job in capturing our wedding. They worked extremely well with both sides of the family making everyone comfortable and definitely had no problem working with our other vendors, especially when it came to communication and time commitments. Incredibly smooth process. No shaky footage, awkward pans, or even wind drowning out the microphones, Mike and his team beautifully captured our wedding in a short, 7-minute, highlight film … to which, to put it simply since we are at a loss for words, we had a friend who didn’t even attend the wedding tear up while watching the film. Mike even put together an evening of his own time to premier the video to us and also give us over all the raw footage that was shot during the day.
As perfectionist as we can be, we really appreciated the services of Artistic Wedding Films and the awesome job they did. The end product exceeded our expectations and now we have something to cherish for the many years ahead. If you’re on the fence about a videographer, adjust your budget and do it. And if you’re looking for a professional service that’ll do it right, we highly recommend Mike and his team at Artistic Wedding Films.

Thanks so much for your kind words Ben. We had a blast at your wedding and your families were awesome!
Have a great, healthy year full of love and happiness! Mike & team
I cannot say enough positive things about Mike and his team. I was blown away by his exceptional level of professionalism, care and talent. He was so organized but beyond that was deeply invested in my husband and I's story and wishes for our wedding and wedding video. He truly cared and it really showed the day of the wedding. He went above and beyond to get the perfect shots and even helping with things beyond his own job, like helping me carry my train!! The finished product blew us away. The video is like a professional hollywood production!! We are truly overwhelmed with our experience with Mike. We HIGHLY recommend him!!!

Thanks Francesca and Jordan!
You and your families are fabulous!
We wish you the best in the world! Mike and team
We could not have been happier with our decision to use Artistic Wedding Films as our videographer. We watched films from many different companies and we were sold as soon as we saw a sample from Mike and his team. On our first call, Mike was SO easy to talk to and genuinely excited about the opportunity to work with us. On the day of our wedding, he made everything feel like a breeze. His love for what he does is so evident and it truly translates into the work that they create. When we chose to use Artistic, we decided on a highlights film, but after working with Mike, we quickly switched to the bigger package, and we are SO happy that we did!

Thanks Shannon, we appreciate your kind words.
Your wedding was so amazing and we wish you the lots of happiness and good health. Mike and team
Mike and his team of videographers/film makers were so professional and FUN. They were with us from the beginning of the day to the end of the night. They had us laughing during our pictures (which was awesome and made the photos even better!). They worked really well with our photographer and did not make us feel overwhelmed with cameras or lights in our faces. They allowed us to have the space that we needed to enjoy the day and really added happiness to our day. They feel like old friends that you have known forever and you will be happy to have them in your presence on such an important day. We are really looking forward to seeing our films!! Mike worked hard all day to make sure that he got a lot of awesome footage. He was out and filming around Newport early in the day before the bridal party was done getting ready just to make sure he got some of the landscape for the video! Also, he has a license to fly a drone for footage, which really adds a lot to the video and not everyone has this! Our venue, the Rosecliff Mansion, does not allow just anyone to fly a drone on their property. Mike is a veteran of weddings in the Newport area and he is allowed to fly his drone here! All of my vendors had worked with Mike and his team many times before and they had nothing but nice things to say about him when they found out that he was our videographer. It is so important to pick vendors who can work well as a team and Mike does an amazing job working with others! You will not regret having Mike and his team film one of the most important days of your life!

Thank you so much Kiera & Tim for your kind words. It was a pleasure being part of your wedding day and meeting your families and friends. We have amazing footage of your wedding and can't wait to create your film. Be well and chat soon.
If you are even debating hiring a videographer for your big day (just like we were) – stop right now and hire Artistic Wedding Films! This by far was the BEST vendor decision my husband and I made for our wedding. My husband was not really big on the idea of having our day filmed, as he wanted to be sure we were in the moment and not getting distracted by cameras. Mike and his team captured every single detail so discreetly throughout the day, which was clear throughout the amazing video. I have gotten so many messages from wedding guests and people who have seen the video from our big day saying it was a “feature film” and more like a movie – they couldn’t stop watching. Thank you to Mike and his team for the professionalism, constant communication, and incredible quality of film – we will cherish the video of our big day forever!
Artistic Wedding Films did an amazing time capturing our wedding day! They were extremely easy to work with from beginning to end and did a great job customizing our highlight video as we envisioned. We highly recommend them for your special day!
If you are looking for a videographer to truly capture every important moment of your special day, and then magically recreate that day, these are your people. Mike and his team did an outstanding job from start to finish. From phone calls and planning before the wedding, to the friendly faces that were behind the scenes on the day of, to the amazing and patient artists that worked with us to create a film that was EXACTLY what we wanted, I cannot say enough. They are worth every penny and more. Thank you for everything. - The Scrimgeours
As a groom, it is my pleasure to write this rave review. Although my now wife was absolutely in the driver’s seat throughout the wedding planning process, one of her greatest selections was in partnering with Mike and his team at Artistic Wedding Files to capture our wedding memories. Leading up to our wedding, Mike and his team were easy and comfortable to interact with, and answered every naive question coming from two individuals who did not have any background in cinematography. Day of, both my wife and I truly felt like we had another friend at our wedding with Mike and his team in tow, versus a potentially uncomfortable situation of having a film crew around us on our special day. We viewed many of Artistic Wedding Films’ work online and read other reviews, and we had high expectations from Artistic Wedding Films. I can say with complete certainty that Artistic Wedding Files far exceeded our wildest expectations and the final product was even better than we could have possibly imagined. In short, Artistic Wedding Files, thank you for helping to create such an incredible wedding memory for my wife and me; I could not have imagined working with anyone else. You guys are the best!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We had an amazing time at your wedding, you, Kristen and your family and friends were all so amazing and your wedding was beautiful! Have a great healthy year full of love and happiness! Mike & team
Choosing Artistic Wedding Films as our wedding videographer is one of our best decisions. Lei and I were fascinated by many wedding videos they posted on the website, and we were so exciting want to choose them as our videographer. The moment we met with Mike we knew that they would do a fantastic job on our wedding day. Mike is humor, creative, and absolutely professional. And so do his team. They were able to capture all the best moments we had, and delivered to us a wonderful highlight film that we have already watched million times! It is worth to mention that Mike is also a great aero videographer, and the clips from the drone were so amazing. We are so grateful to have them as videographer on our wedding day! We had a tremendous memory!!
As the mother of the groom, I was truly amazed to see the wedding video that so accurately captured the events of this wonderful event. All aspects were captured, including the joy, love, excitement, nervousness and support of all those involved. Extremely professional and succinctly portrayed the preparation, service and ceremony. It will be a lifetime reminder of how this special event launched the new life for our son and new daughter!
Artistic Wedding Films did an amazing job capturing our day! Mike was wonderful to work with and really made me feel like he was so focused on us as a couple, our story and our vision. The results were beautiful! Definitely recommend.
Artistic Wedding Films went above and beyond our expectations. From the time we booked our wedding to receiving our video AWF made everything easy, they were accommodating to our needs and highly professional. On our wedding day the staff (Isaac, Dan and Mike) felt like part of the wedding party. They were fun, helped us through the shaky moments and were beyond professional in their work. When we received our video we were beyond happy and amazed with the editing by Dan. Words cannot describe the feeling I felt relieving my Wedding day through our video.
I would highly recommend Artistic Wedding Films to anyone who is looking for a professional, fun and amazing staff and a memory to last forever.
You will not regret working with Artistic Wedding Films - it was the best decision we made for our wedding. Your wedding day goes by in a flash - it is somewhat a blur. Having the video to watch is like re-living the day over and over again. The team does an amazing job capturing the emotion and excitement of the event. Mike made me feel so comfortable with his comic relief and calm approach during the most stressful parts of my day. Highly recommend this team, I do not have anything but raving reviews for them...Accommodating, professional, responsive, absolutely thrilled with their work!!!
The best of the best. I've known Mike for almost 10 years now being in the industry and I knew then that when my day came he would be the one there capturing everything. Not only did Mike (and Mike) capture our day but they were entertaining and fun to have around with us. Thank you Mike for keeping us laughing all day long and pulling us outside to make sure we got the perfect night time shot. We are certain the film will be nothing short of amazing and we can't wait to see it!
5.0
Mike and his team were absolutely amazing! Being a wedding planner in Newport RI I know majority of all the vendors and work very closely with them. When it came to planning my own wedding, i knew right away who to choose for my special day. They provided an entire day full of laughter, love, and professionalism. They made the day of so magical. It became even more magical when we received our video, OH MY GOD! i still cry happy tears watching this video. They captured what was truly important that day. They captured the simple looks of love from my husband staring at me during our ceremony, our parents crying happy tears during our vows, our friends laughing and enjoying the day just as much as we did. It felt like i was watching a movie!
Thank you so much for being the team you are and being there on our special day. As a wedding professional and bride, i highly recommend choosing Artistic Wedding Films for your day.
If you want your wedding to be like a movie, look no further than Artistic Wedding Films. Mike and his team were an absolute pleasure to work with from the beginning and made the process incredibly easy! On the day of, Mike basically made himself like a part of our family (and believe me, my bridesmaids were a handful!) and he had amazing energy to work with. With every shot, Mike made us feel at ease and gave amazing direction when we didn’t know how to pose. Every single shot was so detailed and shows how AWF’s professionalism and talent exceeds any other videographer’s in New England. We don’t know how to thank Mike and the team enough for making our wedding such an amazing day and something we will be able to remember for forever!
We originally had not planned to do a wedding video for our daughter's ceremony, but we changed our minds when we found she had a "secret" flash-mob planned. This was perhaps the best decision of the whole event! Mike and the crew did a SPECTACULAR job with all aspects of the day, from getting ready, to the ceremony itself, to the reception. And yes, they perfectly captured the flash-mobs, and especially our daughter's first dance with her husband. The editing and presentation of the footage was top-notch, and something we will cherish forever.
In short, Artistic gets our highest possible recommendation. They added a dimension to the memories of the wedding that we would not have otherwise.
Hiring Artistic Wedding Films was the easiest decisions we made when we were planning our wedding.
I met Mike in 2012, at my sister’s wedding. He and his team were not only polite and professional, but they were fun! Getting married is stressful, especially when there is a hurricane that was starting that night. Mike and his crew were on time, stayed for the entire event and kept the mood upbeat! When their video was completed, it was flawless. He captured all of the key moments, in all of the best angles and lighting.
Back to our wedding...
We had two meetings with Mike. The first was less than a week after we locked down our venue/date and the second, maybe an month or so before the wedding. I was overwhelmed with my classes, job and last minute wedding preparations that I filled out their worksheet on the way down to meet him. Once we got the papers in the right order, he asked me which videos from their site were my favorites. I smiled and told him that I hadn’t exactly had a chance to look. I preferred him to generate our video based on his artistic capabilities, as he is the expert in this field. He joked that I might not like it but I knew I would.
We got the same day edit and everyone, including ourselves, were quite impressed. It baffles me how they shot our video and produced such an epic video in almost no time. It was the perfect tease of what was to come but let us remain on our wedding high throughout our honeymoon.
Just having received our wedding video, my faith in his and his team’s abilities couldn’t have been more correct. They tied together every special moment seamlessly, and not in a dry chronological sequence (getting ready, ceremony, pictures, cocktail hour, speeches etc.). But he didn’t stop by adding just the classical moments, he added special moments or places that he knew would be dear to our hearts. For instance: capturing our last kiss before marriage (with the groom blind folded of course!), zooming in on our the address of our first apartment (one spot where we took photos), involving moments with our dog (and removing the part I tripped because our dog was pulling so hard). It didn’t stop there, he added a shot of my law school as it was a few buildings away. I do not even recall mentioning it at our second meeting but he was so thorough and attentive that he remembered. But my absolute favorite part was that he included footage of my mom and I FaceTiming with her sister (my aunt) and her mom (my grandmother), who both live in Greece. Due to my grandmother’s health, they were unable to to attend. There was a shot of both of them on my mom’s phone! It meant so much to my family and I that they were included.
I would highly recommend Artistic Wedding Films as your videographer. I dreamed of my wedding day since I was a little girl and from their work, I can relive it for decades to come.
Artistic Wedding Films were SO wonderful to work with throughout every step of the process. Dee is always incredibly responsive to emails and gives you time estimates. Mike went above and beyond for us making sure our film was absolutely perfect and even checked on our wedding the day of, despite being at the venue next door filming. Worth every penny. The quality is top notch when you look at your film in comparison to others.

We used Artistic Films to capture our wedding and we are so grateful that we made that decision to have them as a videographer. They were a pleasure to work with and the final product was amazing. All of our family and friends praised the video and how well they captured our special day. It will be something that we show our children and grandchildren one day. We highly recommend their services. Xoxo AJ and Jeff
Mike and the Artistic Wedding Films team were a pleasure to work with throughout our whole planning and Wedding day experience! They made everyone feel comfortable, happy, and were such a special addition to our big day. And the film itself is the biggest gift that we'll be able to enjoy for years to come (including the Drone footage was our best decision... just WOW). We were so impressed and thrilled with the work, my sister signed the team to produce their wedding film the next week. Artistic Wedding Films is a truly a 5-Star group!
Artistic Wedding Films is the absolute best videographer that I could have selected to capture our wedding day. We worked mainly with Mike who was willing
to accommodate us every step of the way. As we were planning our wedding, we mentioned that we would be having a horse-drawn carriage. Mike immediately suggested using a drone to capture the moment. We felt that he was just as excited as we were about our wedding day.
Mike and his team were easy to work with and even arrived to the hotel bright and early coincidentally dressed to match our wedding color theme. He has a great sense of humor, which helped me relax as I was feeling anxious/ner
