Focused Bliss Productions

ording us felt like nerve-wracking and an unnecessary expense. With a little more than a month before the wedding, however, we began to realize that we wanted our vows to be captured in a way that photographs alone could not. After just one day of looking for potential videographers and being put off by lack of quality, nickle-and-diming, pushy sales tactics, and overwhelm about the amount of money it would cost to have a film of our ceremony, we found Michael Cerundolo at Focused Bliss Productions. From our very first contact with Michael, we were blown away by his passion for his work, his commitment to quality, and his willingness to give us everything we wanted and nothing we didn’t. Michael made time to get us booked at the best price we had seen and assured us that he would provide us with quality beyond what we had been able to find. And he delivered. Michael was with us every step of the way, going over details for the wedding and assuring us of his ability to handle the unexpected. On the day of the wedding, Michael was warm, friendly, and put us at ease. When the audio set-up at our venue failed to capture our voices as clearly as we had hoped, Michael assured us he would be able to adjust and correct this in post-production. With weddings, little things always go wrong — nothing is ever “perfect.” There is inherent awkwardness, snags, and unexpected variables. However, when Michael delivered our ceremony film just a week after our wedding, our jaws dropped as we realized he had captured all of the beauty of the ceremony and had smoothed out all of the snags. What we were presented with was a priceless memory the way we would want to remember it. Our voices were clear, the music was soft, and our love was captured in a moving picture. Michael, we cannot thank you enough for giving us such a priceless memory to treasure, just the way we had hoped to remember it. And for the person reading this review, if you are on the fence about whether or not videography is worth the expense in a tight wedding budget, know that your wedding day will go by so fast and that Focused Bliss Productions will provide you with a living memory to treasure for the rest of your lives, just the way you want to remember your wedding day.

all details, and he put them together seamlessly. We're so grateful to have such an amazing film to treasure for the rest of our lives. 

dibly professional, thoughtful, and detail-oriented. He spent so much time with us before the big day, carefully discussing every detail of what we wanted. It was so clear he genuinely cared about capturing our day exactly as we envisioned it. His planning was meticulous — he had everything mapped out in advance, which made us feel completely confident and at ease going into the wedding. And on the day itself, Michael was just so lovely. Calm, kind, and quietly capturing every special moment. He made us feel totally comfortable in front of the camera, which is not always easy to do! I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Michael didn’t just film our wedding — he preserved it in a way that we’ll treasure forever. If you’re looking for someone who is not only highly skilled but also a true professional and an absolute joy to work with, Michael is the one.

eginning when I was looking for videographers, he extended his time to talk to me, didn't make me feel pressured to choose him, and was very open answered all the questions I had. Even in the final details meetings leading up the wedding, he was very organized and thorough with the details of our day and was very easy to work and coordinate with the rest our vendors. Michael really has an eye and talent for creating a cinematic film as well! Not only did he create a timeless, romantic video for us to reminisce on of our wedding day, but he was very professional, organized, and fun to work with the day of our wedding. Being filmed all day can feel a bit awkward, but he made me feel very comfortable and excited for whatever I was doing at that time. His positivity and friendliness made me for excited to see what he filmed and saw through his lens. He also made our sneak peak and our full video within such a timely manner, and honestly way sooner than I expected (granted we did get married in the beginning of the year in an off season,) but nonetheless within that timeframe he created a beautiful, classy, amazing video for us to cherish forever. We felt like we were watching a mini movie or trailer of our wedding into the rest of our lives and wanted to keep watching more! Can't say enough good things and praise for Focused Bliss and Michael! So happy and lucky to have found him!

work with on the wedding day itself! He had a super quick turnaround of over wedding video, and the product was absolutely beautiful! We look forward to watching it many times over the years to relive our special day, and to see the true joy he was able to capture.

on our special day. Michael made sure to give room for our photographer and almost seemed like he wasn’t even there with how cautious he was of being in the way of our special moments. If he had any requests for certain shots, they were very kind and easy. Our video came out beautifully and we couldn’t have asked for a better capture of our special day. He definitely has the experience and talent with videography and it showed for our video. We were truly impressed with his eye for creating something so cinematic and effective in displaying the best moments of that day.

interviewing videographers, I watched some of Michael’s prior videos and I never thought I would cry watching a stranger get married but his videos stir up so much emotion! My husband and I were both completely moved to tears when we watched our video. It was way better than we could have ever imagined. If you want a videographer for your wedding, look no further and hire Focused Bliss Productions. You will not regret it!

was highly communicative, scheduling regular check-in calls and addressing all our queries with ease. Michael’s positive attitude put us at ease throughout the entire process and especially on our wedding day. He was very detail oriented and ensured we stayed on schedule during the day. He was also able to accommodate all of our last minute requests without issues. The final video surpassed our expectations, capturing moments that allowed us to vividly relive our special day. Highly recommend Michael and Focused Bliss for going above and beyond!

xpiring (you get free storage for one year after your wedding), I decided to purchase an additional highlight video to have one more way to relive our day. He listened to my specific requests and had the video back to me very quickly. Once again the video is high quality and the editing is superb. It’s so great to have multiple way to rewatch the best day of our lives!

He got so many different angles and great footage that I could not wait to see the final result! I was very impressed by his creativity throughout the process and his ability to combine the shots to make a spectacular movie! We were all so impressed with the final product and would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking to turn an event or memory into a marvelous movie!

lighting, dramatic, something to remind us of every moment, every highlight of our special day. We had gone through several vendors, and we honestly weren’t that impressed. They’re were maybe 2 or 3 that we liked… but after a couple weeks of researching, and we found Focused Bliss, met with Michael - and we were like “yup! this is the one!” He made our 12 hr wedding day into a 5 min and 33 second cinematic hallmark video of our wedding, and it couldn’t be more perfect. Every frame captured the blissful moments of each second of wonder of our wedding day. You can watch it here: https://vimeo.com/941735493 Michael was quick with his inquiry response, super personable, worked fast and efficient, worked well with our photographers and other vendors! He made us feel at ease and comfortable throughout the whole day. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a videographer for your event or wedding! The outcome exceeded our expectations

e with me, the bride, and the photographer before the wedding. On the wedding day Michael arrived at the venue dressed professionally and ready to work, he also checked in with me the morning of the event to confirm his presence. Not only was he a joy to chat with, but his easy-going nature made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend Michael to couples seeking a professional videographer. He truly excels at his craft and is a delight to work with.

keeps you captivated the entire time. It has brought everyone I have shown to tears because it brings back all of the special moments and memories we shared together that day. Thank you for making something that we will have for the rest of our lives & can share with our children one day!

nal with his work. He made me feel so comfortable and captured the best shots for us. Our video is absolutely perfect and brought happy tears to our eyes. Our video is edited to perfection and so thought out! We are SO SO HAPPY with their work! We highly recommend Michael and his team at Focused Bliss Productions!!

ork. On my wedding day he was very professional and knew when to capture what at the perfect time. I’m very excited to see our video and have no doubts it’s going to be nothing less than perfect. 10/10!!!

videos within just a couple weeks of our wedding. We decided on the Hallmark cinematic film as well as the "Guest Best Wishes" add-on, and both films turned out incredible. One of my wedding guests even brought their personal drone to the event, and Michael reached out to him and ended up using some of his footage in the cinematic film! It was an overall amazing experience, and I highly recommend Focused Bliss for all soon-to-be newly weds.

e course of the event, he always seemed to be in the right place at the right time for the best shot. Afterwards, he delivered an exquisite product that has brought tears of joy to all who watched, but also he did so in a timely fashion. 10/10 Would Recommend!

ke a movie and we would definitely recommend Focused Bliss to anyone.

t any other vendor to capture our wedding day. A few months before our wedding my husband and I were excited to find out that we were pregnant!! So immediately we knew we wanted to have that be a big part of our day. We ended up needing a little bit of help with ideas on how to reveal the gender of our baby during our cake cutting at the reception. Michael had so many awesome ideas and we ended up going with one of his ideas, which made our wedding video that much greater!! It was a perfect day and I am SO happy we went with Michael. I wish we lived closer to San Diego so we could meet up and grab drinks with him! (for a parents night out haha) Definitely use Focused Bliss for your wedding day!

vacation! He is so calm and helped our day be so stress free. He also got video back to us within weeks! Amazing!

o make the final product something we will cherish for many years to come!

ices which created the most stunning aerial shots. In addition to their impressive creative skills, they were kind and professional in every way. We recommend Focused Bliss without reservation!

with pricing etc. During our wedding at Loews Coronado Bay Resort he was even able to capture a photo during our ceremony which was one of our favorite by far!! Onsite he was great to! We would recommend him to everyone! Looking forward to seeing all the videos or special moments he captured!!

d we didn't know if we could fir it into our budget...but man are we so glad that we did! We are in LOVE with our wedding video! Michael did a fantastic job and it was everything that we had hoped for. With wedding videos now being feature films I was nervous about not enough of our wedding being documented but with Michael's editing skills it all perfectly came together. I was amazed at the sound quality of his mics and the picture quality of our video. He was also incredibly professional and I loved that he came dressed to impress. He arrived on time and immediately got to work. He was kind and courteous to our other vendors as well as helpful. Michael fit in with our friends and family wonderfully like he was just another guest at the wedding. He even sent us a few pictures the next day that he had captured. We luckily were at the slower point of wedding season and we received our wedding video incredibly fast! Michael is incredibly communicative whether it's email, texting, or even phone calls. He would answer all of our questions and helped to make a timeline to fit everything in that was important to us. I would recommend Michael to our family and friends.

dy to go, and had a great wedding-day vibe (nicely dressed, happy, and hype-man) -His framing and staging were on point, yet he was never in the way or disruptive -We were on the front end of wedding season, so Michael was able to get us our Sneak Peek within a few days, and our Hallmark film after about a week! -Both the Sneak Peek and Hallmark films were beautiful, and we are more than pleased with them Focused Bliss wasn't cheap, but I have no problem saying that they were worth every penny. My only regret is that we didn't add the drone footage: our venue was beautiful and I know they would have captured it perfectly.

e with my Dad at my wedding.” Friends and family attempted to console her to no avail. But with time, and a combination of both fierce determination and creative problem solving, Tessa proved that to not be the case. Hiring a wheelchair choreographer, she, her Dad, John, and the instructor practiced faithfully together for 6 months. The result? A most memorable dance that left not a dry eye amongst the wedding guests. Prior to the wedding, Tessa and her fiancé, Nick, made an important decision. Instead of going on a honeymoon, they chose to use the money saved to hire a videographer to film the wedding and, in particular, the father/daughter dance. When the Academy of Neurology called for video submissions later that year, documenting people living well with a neurological disorder, Tessa was quick to submit the dance video entitled, “Living with Parkinson’s. My Father Daughter Dance”, which is viewable on YouTube. The videographer hired was none other than Michael Cerundolo of Focused Bliss Productions. Without question, hiring Michael was the best decision ever made. The pleasure and delight my family and, in particular, my husband and I experienced every time we watched the video was worth the cost, delayed honeymoon, and so much more. John passed away last year, and we just held his Celebration of Life. Did we hire Focused Bliss? Absolutely, and we can’t wait to see the finished product, relive the special moments, and share them with those unable to attend. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Michael for filling ours!!! ♥️

ts, has a great eye and talent, and is a joy to have on your team on your wedding day. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but Michael made it a joy, was flexible, understanding, responsive, and professional. We received our wedding video so quickly and it perfectly captured our wedding day from beginning to end and all the little moments in-between. I love that Michael is so involved in the entire process and that we got to work with him directly. My husband and I didn’t want to work with a large company where you, as a client, could get lost in the production of it all. We felt comfortable and trusted Michael with our wedding video and the quality and content of our video will forever be timeless. Thank you Michael and Focused Bliss Productions - please hire them, you will have no regrets!!

day. Bang up job by Michael in capturing all the key moments and turning it into a great video. My wife and I are thrilled!

el worked seamlessly with our photographer and did an excellent job capturing all of our moments while being very subtle. I worried about being on camera all day and feeling like I was being watched but Michael did an impeccable job blending into the background like a guest. I never felt like I had a camera in my face- I can't even begin to express how important that is on your wedding day! Our hallmark film turned out beautifully but we decided 7 months later to add on a longer cinematic film to see more of the day. Michael was kind enough to get on the phone with me again, walk me through the options and incorporate more content I wanted to see. I'd highly recommend Michael and Focused Bliss.

contact, we were not passed to someone else. Connected to that he was extremely responsive and was willing to communicate via txt which streamlined the process especially as we were very late in locking videography down. I like that his videos have a film quality to them and are not the typical cheesy wedding video. Would recommend.

ll you Michael is at the top of his field and not only seamless to work with he does fantastic work! They will capture your special day with beauty, creativity, and grace that will bring joy to your heart for a lifetime! Pastor Carlos Sales, 2Wed4Life.com

ll as providing us helpful suggestions to ensure our video could be of good quality. He remained very responsive to us and maintained communication. We absolutely loved our sneak peek and wedding video, and felt it depicted the joy and love we felt on that day. It was beautiful! We are so thankful to have this memorable video and look forward to sharing it with our future children. All of our loved ones have enjoyed watching it so far.

ful moments and kept us smiling andaughing through the entire process. Michael was super accommodating when it came to wedding day details, creating a payment schedule, and adjusting times for shooting even on the wedding day. We were so excited for his footage we even asked him to stay an extra hour. Michael and focused bliss were great witb communication and always responded quickly and concisely. I would definitely recommend Focused Bliss to capture your special day and highly recommend buying one of their digia albums!

nal and made the planning process seamless and stress free! Focused bliss captured all of the special moments and then some from our wedding day and brought great energy and made shooting fun! We could not be happier with our experience and our film!! Highly recommend!!!!

y-of was so perfect. Ryan was our videographer - he was super nice and easy to work with. He and our photographer also seemed to bounce well off of one another. We've seen our sneak peek video (Michael edits everything himself for consistency) and are so excited to see our full wedding video soon and relive our special day. I'd certainly recommend them!
