We hired Good Eye Productions for my wedding day in Kennebunkport this past August, and my husband and I truly feel we couldn’t have made a better decision for our wedding day. At first, I was negotiable on whether I’d have videography, but decided with a few months’ advance that I would definitely want sound from the day and video to look back on. Johnny was absolutely stellar! He brought his drone and got some overhead footage of the groomsmen’s day-of sail on the schooner Eleanor to our ceremony site, he got some excellent get-ready footage which I wanted to get, and also not to mention the next-day social media trailer as well as the full-length 5-minute video was put together so beautifully. Many people have commented to me about it and have been wowed. Most importantly, my husband and I feel it captured our day so eloquently that every time we look back on it, it’s a meaningful keepsake/coverage to have for life! Johnny is also super friendly and explains his terms and how he works really clearly that I felt very confident he would do a great job. I have found that camaraderie with vendors like Johnny goes a long way. Thank you, thank you, thank you Johnny!!
Johnny was our videographer for our September wedding at the Samoset in Maine. Where to even begin!! Johnny was so easy to coordinate and communicate with during the planning and lead up to the big day. He was so quick and willing to answer all of my million questions! And then on our actual wedding day he was incredible, and worked so well and complimentary with our photographer. He made us all feel so comfortable on camera and caught the most amazing footage - including unique drone footage which was important to me! We woke up the next day being so sad that the celebration was over, and bam - we immediately received a teaser video the next day (plus a bonus clip since my husband decided to quote Drake in his vows 🤦🏼♀️). The rest of our video deliverables came very quickly too!! And wow. The final videos. I could watch them all day, every day. He captured every moment so perfectly and edited together a perfect flow with all the right clips and sound bites. Our wedding video brought tears to all of our family and friends, and I can’t imagine not having it to help us relive the best day. Johnny is the real deal - don’t think twice about booking him!
A FB friend recommended Good Eye Productions when I was looking for a wedding videographer. I watched the sneak peek of her wedding video and was instantly sold!
Aside from his amazing work, having such a creative eye and capturing every detail, many of which I didn’t get to see or never would’ve remembered on such a busy, emotional blur of a day, Johnny was an absolute pleasure! I would give him my business a thousand times over!
He was wonderful from start to finish and made the entire process, especially the business and timeline part of it, incredibly easy! My photographer actually took the time to contact me raving about how much she enjoyed working alongside Johnny which I think is SUCH a compliment, especially coming from another vendor! He was on top of everything but also very respectful, making sure all the girls were decent before taking the “getting ready” shots and he was great at blending into the atmosphere. I feel like I barely saw him yet he captured EVERYTHING!
I’m trying really hard not to be the obnoxious bride who makes everyone watch her wedding video… and then watch it again. But it’s just too exquisite not to share and people are actually asking to see it and thanking me for sharing it. It’s THAT amazing!!!
Johnny at Good Eye Productions captured the essence of what our wedding day really meant to us. He REALLY “got us”, the significance of what that day meant to my husband and I, what WE really thought was important and our video says it all. He GOT it. If I could give 20 stars I would!!!
BRILLIANT!!!!
Absolutely worth the investment!! If you’re a budget bride, cut back on something else, cut out favors, cut out ANYTHING else… you won’t regret it! I remember my father asking me “is this really necessary??” and now he’s carrying the video around on his phone, showing anyone who will watch and asking “Who was this kid, where’d you find this guy? This is unbelievable!” and now we tease my dad cause you’ll walk into the room, his eyes are teary and red, and we say “Dad, are you watching the wedding video again???” It is 100% worth every penny and more!!
We LOVE Good Eye Productions!!!!
Any questions?
Johnny filmed our wedding this past September and honestly the experience was exceptional. Initially I was hesitant about hiring a videographer as I get nervous in front of the camera. However after speaking with Johnny prior to the wedding I felt incredibly comfortable. At the wedding and ceremony itself we barely recognized he was there. So when it came time to actually see the video he produced I was shocked with how stunning it looked. He captured so many intimate moments- I am so happy we hired him! I would also like to add that the day after the wedding he sent over a short reel of some of his favorite shots which were gorgeous and definitely made the morning after our wedding even more special- I have no idea how he had the time to put that together. Johnny was one of our nicest vendors and he was so easy to work with. I highly highly recommend hiring him for your event, especially if it is wedding!
Good Eye Productions was recommended to us by our venue as a videographer that would be affordable but also the "real deal". When we met with him for a virtual meeting, we knew Johnny was everything we ever dreamed of for a wedding videography - friendly, easy-going, knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. We saw samples of his work from an event he did at our venue (for the venue owner's best friends - that's a big deal!) and we were absolutely amazed by his attention to detail, plus the drone footage was pretty sweet. He was so responsive throughout the entire process up through and past our wedding date. He had our social media short clip ready for us in 24 hours, which was the PERFECT way to relive our most special day over the course of our honeymoon. The best part about Johnny and Connor was that we didn't even realize they were there - they just seamlessly blended in with the festivities and got footage of our most magical, lifelong memories all recorded on camera. If we ever need a videographer in the future for another life event, Good Eye will be the first we reach out too. If we are asked for a recommendation for a wedding, Johnny and Good Eye Productions will be an easy one to give. He is exceptionally talented and made our dreams of reliving our wedding over and over again a reality. We can't thank Good Eye Productions enough for their amazing work!
We could not be any happier to have had Johnny as our wedding videographer. Not only was he so much fun on the day of and made me feel so comfortable the entire day, he was super nice and friendly and worked so well with our photographer, he created a seriously incredible video for us to remember the day with. He captured so many amazing moments that otherwise go by in such a blur and put them all together so seamlessly. I am not only so happy that we decided to have a videographer for the day in general, I am even more unbelievably thankful that we were able to work with Johnny. He is seriously talented!!!
Our wedding video is an absolute dream! Johnny has the best personality and fit right in on our wedding day! Talented is an understatement and his prices were extremely fair. Would recommend to anyone!
Johnny from Good Eye Productions is a true professional and so great to work with. From the start, Johnny was prompt in his communication and we really appreciated that since we were planning a wedding in a short window of time.
On our wedding day, Johnny was so relaxed and at ease. It's hard to believe that we were being filmed for almost 8 hours because most of the time I didn't even notice the camera. Yet, Johnny was able to capture each moment perfectly. We had so many guests tell us that they didn't noticed the video camera either!
Having audio and video from our wedding day is truly a gift. This video is something that will be cherished for many generations to come. We fully trusted Johnny's expertise and his work is very impressive. We highly recommend hiring Johnny from Good Eye Productions for your special day.
Working with Johnny was absolutely a 10/10 experience. I booked Johnny as a gift for my best friends wedding that was suppose to happen back in August of 2020 but unfortunately had to be postponed to this past August. I can't even explain how understanding and easy the process was to postpone with him and how much of a pleasure it was working with him on the day of Brittany's wedding. He is not only professional but also makes his couples feel very comfortable in front of the camera so everything seems natural and flows beautifully in his films. The final product was everything Brittany and her husband were looking for and more! I would highly recommend booking Johnny to capture your wedding day!
Johnny was incredibly friendly, accommodating, and talented! His turnaround time was amazingly fast (with a tear jerking sneak peek within the day) and was able to make a few modifications upon request (I was super picky…)! I would highly recommend Good Eye Productions to capture your beautiful day for a lifetime of memories!!
If you’re on the fence about a videographer, just do it…the best investment of our wedding was Johnny. Having this video to be able to relive and look back on this day with all the best moments, It’s priceless. Johnny is extremely laid back and easy to be around, and the video was back to us super quick. I would recommend his business all day long. 🙂
Johnny is the best! He did an amazing job on our wedding video! We are so happy we made the decision to hire Good Eye and will have this video to remember our special day for the rest of our lives.
Johnny you as awesome to work with. We had to move our wedding due to Covid and he was very accommodating. The morning of the wedding we moved the first look photos and he again was very easy going.
The videos came out better then we ever could have expected.
Johnny was very responsive, timely, and gave us exactly what we needed to help make my daughter's wedding a lovely celebration!
EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING
Johnny is an amazing person. Very down to earth, great personality, I honestly didn’t even know how amazing of shots he captured until our highlight video was produced. We would 100% recommend him to anyone. Our venue wedding planner also plans to recommend him to future couples. If you’re on the verge of hiring him - book it!!
Johnny was amazing - we weren't originally sure if we were going to have a videographer and it was the best decision we made. He truly captured the best moments of our day and we will cherish our video forever. Johnny is easy to work with, extremely responsive and a great add to any wedding day team - highly recommend!
Good Eye Productions was an easy choice for my wedding this summer. Johnny, the man behind the camera, was absolutely amazing. He captured everything so perfectly on our day. My husband was hesitant about getting a videographer for our wedding, and after just interacting with Johnny that day he said “I am happy we hired him.” Johnny worked so well with everyone in our bridal party, he was always there to capture reactions and big moments. He used a drone to capture our gorgeous venue, and even my husband and I as we took photos with our photographer. I would 10/10 recommend Good Eye Productions for a wedding or any event you would like to fully capture the magic of.
I wish I could give more than 5 stars for such an amazing company, not only for the services I received, but a lifelong document of loved ones.
Truly the best in the industry.
One of the best things we did for our wedding was hire a videographer. Johnny was amazing and captured all of the footage oh-so-perfectly from our wedding day. The day went by so fast and as much as you try to soak it all in, you want to relive that day all over again. The video was the best way to capture all of those moments and to always look back on. We also loved basing able to see the sneak peak the day after the wedding :)
Hiring Good Eye Productions was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Everyone says your day goes by so quickly, and it does — thankfully we have this beautiful video to re-live our favorite moments. I met Johnny years ago through working in TV news. I hired him because I knew he was a great shooter and editor who could tell a story — but he truly surpassed expectations and blew us all away with how well he weaved in the highlights of the ceremony and truly captured the emotion of our day. We had many friends and family who couldn’t be there due to COVID, but because they could watch this video, they said it felt like they were there. Johnny is very easy to work with, reasonably priced, and a true pro at what he does. I couldn’t recommend him enough!
Johnny was absolutely amazing! We decided last minute to add a videographer and he graciously stepped in to help us out! His work is stunning, and we are going to cherish this memory forever!
Johnny was simply the best!! Very professional and reliable throughout the process. Quick to get us our teaser and final video. Offered an elopement package for our micro-wedding during COVID. Would highly highly recommend, worth every dollar
Johnny did a fantastic job!!! He was truly exceptional!!! He captured all of the highlighted moments but also the small intimate moments that make the day perfect! I would recommend him 100 times over!!!
Johnny was awesome to work with! Originally we weren’t planning to hire a videographer due to the cost, but then Covid hit and we had to cut our guest list in 1/2. We had a lot of close friends & family who were unable to attend & thus we felt it was important that they got to see some footage of the day. Thankfully after reaching out to a couple different videographers just to get pricing info, we found Johnny & never looked back! He was super responsive via email & offered a very affordable elopement package. Upon talking to him we learned that he had previously worked for a news station & had even covered 2 Super Bowls. Literally the day after our wedding he sent us a 30 second “preview” & the full uncut ceremony footage. The full length highlight video arrived less than 2 weeks after our wedding, and we couldn’t be more happy with the result! We are SOOOO happy 😃 we decided to hire Johnny & highly recommend him for your next event, you will not be disappointed!
If we needed a video of another important event, we would not hesitate to call on this company again. Johnny was easy to work with, punctual and flexible. The drone footage he was able to capture was truly amazing and super high quality. We continue to look back at our wedding video all the time, we love it so much. Johnny was able to tailor music, video cuts, and anything else we requested to get the video just the way we wanted. Highly Recommend!
My husband and I were so impressed with Mehler Productions. The whole process was so seamless and simple. The video was absolutely perfect, such great moments and memories captured!
He did such an amazing job for my daughter’s wedding that we already hired him for my second daughter’s wedding! He made it such an easy process from start to finish, was accommodating and helpful. Hand down, no hesitations would recommend him!
Johnny Mehler, founder of Mehler Productions, is an absolutely amazing videographer! We asked him to shoot our wedding on 10/14/19. Not only was he professional and kind, the video he shot at our wedding is gorgeous. I’ve shown it to many friends and they have all said it looks like “something out of a commercial it’s so perfect !” It’s clear, beautiful and his point of view is just so original and artistic. We absolutely loved working with him!
Hire Johnnie! He is absolutely amazing to work with and we cannot thank him enough! Best investment we have ever made. We will have these memories forever! We have all of the raw footage he took as well which makes everything so special! He took SUCH good care of us through the whole process. Thank you for the amazing video footage we will have forever!
Johnny is amazing! He did our wedding a couple of weeks ago and we couldn’t have asked for better. Johnny was very responsive throughout the whole planning process and was super easy to work with. You will not regret hiring Johnny, especially once you see the video he puts together!
I have known Johnny for a few years now, and when he got into the wedding videography business, I knew I wanted to hire him to capture my special day. And he exceeded all expectations!!
Leading up to the big day, Johnny and I were in constant contact - talking about what time he should show up, specific details that we wanted to include, and how we envisioned our wedding video.
When he posted the 30 second preview, my husband and I were already crying. We just couldn’t wait to see the entire video!
In just a few short weeks, we had our entire video, and it blew us away! He captured every special moment of that day. We cried, we laughed, and we cried some more.
I couldn’t have asked for a better person to capture our wedding day, and I don’t think I could ever repay Johnny for this amazing keepsake!
Since the day I saw one of Johnny’s first wedding videos I knew I wanted him to do mine. After seeing how professional, thorough and talented he was the deal was sealed. I can’t thank him enough for capturing such special moments of my wedding day and I wholeheartedly recommend him to all of the brides looking for a videographer. He is truly talented and has an amazing eye and it shows in his work. Can’t thank you enough Johnny!
Can a wedding video elicit more tears of joy than the actual wedding? Mehler Productions may have found the secret formula to create that effect! His unobtrusive filming at the church and the reception, his choice of camera effects, and his artful editing of the final video are the ingredients that made us and so many of our family members wipe away tears of fond memory as we watched Johnny's capturing of our wedding day. And then we all watched it again. And again. And again.
He got our style, he understood what was important to us and had fun with us through the whole day. We couldn't have asked for a better match for us to shoot our day. Thank you, Johnny, for capturing the best day of our lives!

Johnny was so wonderful to work with from the minute we hired him; he is very kind and professional! He made sure to get all of our requests for video footage and our wedding day itinerary so he could keep schedule of all our events.
He was punctual & went straight to work filming the bridal party getting ready & handled all of the craziness that was going on. He made sure to get clips of all the details in our ceremony & reception. One of our favorite parts was his use of the Drone footage above the venue, capturing the incredible view of the ocean.
He put together a beautifully edited video for us that we will forever cherish & he also included all the raw, unedited footage he took of the day.
Everybody should have a videographer for their wedding day and Mehler Productions is the best around.
Thank you for everything, Johnny!
We weren't sure if we needed a videographer for our daughter's wedding, but decided in the end that we should. Best decision ever, besides hiring Johnny Mehler!! From the moment we began communicating, he was prompt, responsive and so easy to work with. We had a brief peek video the day after the wedding, which we thought was amazing, until we received the finished product a couple of weeks later!! Brought tears to the eyes of everyone who saw it! Johnny captured the day as though he had known the family forever!! We can't thank him enough for his professionalism and the quality of his work.

Thank you so much, Pam! Val and Zach were such a fun and easy-going couple to work with! You all have a wonderful family and group of friends that came together to help make such an amazing day. It was a pleasure working with you!
I am so thrilled after working with Johnny I hardly know where to start my review! He is very professional and always very timely communicating with us. He is flexible and reasonably priced for his services. And he's such a pleasure to work with.
He is extremely creative and talented. I did have a certain vision for our wedding video and he was so open and excited to make it a reality for us. Our wedding video is phenomenal and priceless keepsake.
He provides an invaluable service; a beautiful momento of our big day that we can relive for years to come.
I cannot say enough good things about Johnny! He's amazing and I highly recommend working with him!
I called John to make a video of my son's wedding for my elderly parents who couldn't travel to Maine for the event. Live streaming wasn't possible from our location, so he did a quick edit of the ceremony that he posted online right after the reception. My parents were thrilled, and we've all enjoyed the full video he produced. He's a joy to work with: accommodating, hardworking, and talented.
Johnny was awesome!! Not only are his prices affordable, he is so professional and easy to work with. He answered any questions we had quickly, went over everything with us before the wedding & was on time and ready to go on the wedding day. His work is absolutely stunning. He did a drone overview of our venue & captured all the amazing parts of our day. Our highlight video really was all the perfect highlights of our day with no detail left out. We have gotten many, many compliments from not only our guests but others that have viewed our video about the work Johnny did. I HIGHLY recommend hiring him as your videographer. You won’t regret it and you’ll have the most perfect memories to look back on!

Thank you, Melissa! You never know what an April day in Maine will bring...but your wedding day featured a memorable 70 degree day that was just meant for you two! Thanks again!
Johnny was absolutely amazing! Super kind, and it’s so obvious what he is doing is his passion. He was very attention to detail and did a great job. We got a 30 second preview the next morning and had our 5 minute wedding video within a week of the wedding! I would definitely recommend him to video anything!
Response from the Vendor on 06/06/2019
Thank you, Amy! Your wedding day was a blast, and you getting a chance to dance with all of your brothers as well was one of the highlights for me!
