About this vendor
How do we even get to the moment where wedding cinematography is considered? It starts at the beginning with a moment. The moment a man and a woman first meet. The moment when you first said hello to each other. At that moment, your nerves take over. You realize this is something and someone new. It's hard to foresee whether this person is someone who will forever impact your life or just become a temporary friend, but to everyone's surprise, this person becomes more than just a friend.
He or she impacts your life on all levels, which leads to the next moment. Everyone that is around you two, can see the love you have developed for one another. Marriage is obviously the next step. Most brides don't see it coming, some do. Whether the proposal is done in front of loved ones or just between you the two of you, the next moment is achieved. Wedding bells are in the air. The planning has begun.
"It Starts With A Moment" is a campaign that we started to remind couples where it all began. The wedding process is so intense. Between meeting with vendors, budgeting, and compromising over what each other wants, it is easy to forget why you are getting married in the first place. All the sacrificing and tears that you have put into your wedding day cannot be saved with only social media photos and a professional photographer. A photo is worth 1000 words, but a film allows us to relive the moment.
It is our job as wedding cinematographers to capture the magic you two will create together, but the true magic is rehashing those first feelings you two had when you first experienced those moments that led you to this day. The day where all those closest to you come to celebrate your love.

We absolutely adore Marcus! Our wedding faced multiple delays due to COVID, and we ended up having a small ceremony in 2021 as well as our big wedding in 2022, and Marcus was with us through it all! He became part of a small team of vendors that were like family to us throughout our planning process. We knew we loved Marcus from the minute we first talked with him, and every time we talked to him after we just kept loving him more. This man showed up for our small ceremony and got completely and utterly soaking wet due to the tropical storm raging...and he didn't seem to mind one bit! He was nothing but delightful and dedicated to capturing our special day. He got some amazing shots of the venue in the rain, recorded our first look, and filmed the entire ceremony. We got the video of it all back from him in JUST ONE WEEK! Not only were we blown away by how quickly he got our video to us, but also the quality of his work. It was perfect. So, of course, we were THRILLED to have him come back a year later to capture our big celebration and we were not disappointed! Once again, he was an absolute dream to work with, and we could not be happier with the quality of the film he produced. Watching the film immediately transported us back to that day. What makes Marcus' work so incredible all of the little details and in-between moments he captures that so perfectly allow you to feel all of the same emotions all over again. We had the best day ever, and Marcus has given us the ability to relive that day over and over again. Booking Marcus is easily one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire process of planning our wedding!
Marcus was awesome! He heard my vision and brought it to life. He was fun, down the earth and flexible. I appreciate him doing above and beyond to make our day special. We’re thankful!
My wife and I LOVED working with Marcus and his videographer team for our wedding! Marcus was very professional and helped answer all of our questions before the wedding and they absolutely captured all the little things we asked for in our wedding video.
Our video came out BEAUTIFULLY and he had drone shots of our wedding at the Chrysler Museum and he really captured all the beauty of our wedding and those little moments that mean a lot to us and we cannot thank him enough for capturing our wedding.
You have to hire Marcus he is the BEST in Hampton Roads!
Marcus and his team are of the upmost quality and professionalism. My husband and I were so thrilled with their services. Not only are they fun and easy to work with on your big day, they take the time to understand and execute your vision to perfection! Intellect Media is a MUST HAVE vendor for your wedding day.
I have two sisters who have gotten married who both used Marcus for their weddings. It was a no brainer that my husband and I were going to use Marcus to capture every moment for our wedding. We already knew how amazing Marcus was, but even moreso now during this pandemic and unpredictable time, Marcus has been nothing but flexible, super attentive, and beyond willing to help. Marcus came with us to our venue prior to the wedding taking place to run through some logistics for where the ceremony was taking place, etc. so he had everything planned for the big day. We had calls to plan everything out where he wanted to make sure he understood what was MOST important to us that he capture on our big day and went through some questions of things we hadn't even thought about yet. Marcus completely understood our vision, and come that day, needed no direction in making sure he captured everything we'd discussed and more! Throw any normal day at Marcus and Eric and we know they'll be amazing. Throw our wedding day at them - where our ceremony was outside in 106 degree heat index, which then turned into a torrential downpour during the reception and find out Marcus and Eric are beyond incredible. They had a relentless attitude towards capturing everything, never once complaining about the heat or rain, and all the while making sure we were comfortable and enjoying our day. Since we ended up downsizing our wedding drastically due to the pandemic, the majority of our guest list was unable to attend our special day. Marcus turned around a link for our full wedding ceremony in 24 hours AND a sneak peak video of our first look that we were able to send out to all of our guests immediately! With what we've seen already from this footage, there isn't a single doubt in our minds that our final wedding video will be everything and more we could ever dream of. We can't wait to work with Marcus in the future on anything else we need and will always be grateful for his incredible talent and the way he captured our best day ever!
Marcus filmed my wedding in September & I couldn’t have been more impressed with his professionalism. I didn’t even notice him being there, but he captured EVERY special moment which was mind blowing. I was expecting to feel uncomfortable with someone filming or maybe making my guests feel uncomfortable, but he truly flies under the radar. When my husband and I interacted with him he was warm and made us feel at ease! Every time we watch our video we cry it was so thoughtfully and beautifully done! The music provokes emotion, and he captures those unforgettable intimate moments like a pro! He also used a drone which was really impressive. I would 100% recommend him to anyone!!!! The final touch was all of the perfectly flattering angles which was something I was really nervous about. Thank you Marcus you are amazing! -Megan June
Marcus helped us with not only obtaining a great price, but also with making us comfortable enough to be in front of a camera. His work is absolutely amazing and well worth the price. You can tell he loves what he is doing and not just for a paycheck. If you are looking for a videographer that will give you memories that will last a lifetime Intellect Media is the only option. We were amazed and speechless watching our wedding documentary. Even though it was weeks ago we still felt like we were there while watching the film.

Marcus was beyond amazing! From day one, he was very informative and explained the entire process. He felt like family to us and he was there to answer questions. The quality of his work is excellent. I have only seen the sneak peak of one part of our reception and I can only imagine how the full video will look. Book him now, you will not be disappointed!!
From the very beginning, I knew I wanted a videographer for our wedding day. We met Marcus and just knew he would be perfect for us and capturing our big day. Throughout our wedding day, Marcus and his team were completely professional. They were just the best. They are just such a joy to have around all day from start to finish. I feel so blessed to have had Marcus by my side filming our big day. Now, when it came time for our wedding film to premiere....my husband and I were in tears!! He captured something truly special for us to cherish all of our years. We LOVE our wedding video and everything he has done for us. I would recommend everyone I knew AND strangers to check out Intellect Media!
Marcus was by far our favorite vendor. He took the time to meet with us on several different occasions to touch base and make sure he knew what we were looking for. He's very professional, and just an all-around great guy! He even took the time to create links for me to put on facebook so all of my family and friends could see our video. We love Marcus and Intellect Media! He's the best, definitely go with him for your wedding!!! There isn't anyone else comparable!!
Intellect Media did such an amazing job on our wedding video! It was so much better than we expected. The day goes by so fast and there is so much that gets missed by the bride and groom. Having a video to relive the best day of your life is such a wonderful thing. Marcus was professional from the day we met and was such a pleasure to work with. He made us feel so comfortable and our guests loved interacting with him and the cameras. We are so happy we chose to have a videographer and even happier we chose Intellect Media!
Selecting Marcus as our videographer was one of the best decisions we made. Marcus was very professional from beginning to end. He did a excellent job of walking us through the process, making us feel comfortable. Our highlight and full featured film made us feel like movie stars!
Marcus of Intellect Media was one of the best decisions we made. The day went by so fast and honestly l don’t know how I would have felt if we didn’t include videography in the budget and had missed the opportunity to see how beautiful our day was over and over again! Every bride needs to invest! He was extremely gifted, punctual, and professional! He cared about what we desired for our day and captured all of the small details. He was a lot of fun to work with and put me at ease! You can’t afford to pick just any videographer for a day that’s so important...I’m so glad we chose them!
To every beautiful bride and groom!! If you want to capture every moment of your special day. With 100% quality and excellent professionalism, PLEASE hire Intellect Media. Marcus will take your vision and turn it into a masterpiece, that will be admired by generations. I promise you will not regret it!
Intellect Media was there on time and ready to record. Marcus is a true professional, and his work is awesome! We are happy to have our wedding day immortalized in a video that was truly done well by Intellect Media!
Everyone told us prior to the wedding day that everything would go by so fast, so we should take every aspect of our day in. It was not until our actual wedding day that we soon realized this to be true. Hiring Intellect Media for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made during our planning process. We appreciated Marcus constantly reaching out to make sure everything was going well and his responsiveness to all our many questions during the entire process! Because he took the time to develop a relationship with us, it honestly felt as if we had known him for years. Marcus exceeded our expectations by capturing our entire wedding day, even the parts we were too busy to see. From the teaser, to the highlight, to the actual film, he did such an amazing job providing us with quality work and helping us to create memories on our special day that will last a lifetime!
Marcus is seriously the best videographer I could ever ask for. I am a very picky person and not the easiest to please, but he still blew me away with his amazing work. He listens to your needs and concerns and will make the video better than you could ever dream of. I have had at least 100 people message me and tell me how amazing my wedding video was. He was worth every dime and more. If you are considering getting a videographer, pick Marcus and I promise you won't be disappointed!
Working with Marcus of Intellect Media was great from start to finish. I contacted him about wanting a custom package – as all I really wanted was the main parts of the day: ceremony and reception. I asked if he was able to capture the day (ceremony to exit) and make it into a movie for my husband and I watch – Marcus was able to accommodate me easily. We met a few times leading up to the wedding, plus he would check in with me via email. I really appreciated this because I felt like Marcus really cared about capturing the element of our wedding day and relationship. He was/is easy to talk to and even though my husband did not meet him until the wedding day, we both agree that we got along great with Marcus. It was important to my husband and I to not only hire a vendor that would capture us and our wedding day, but one we also got along with. The day of, my husband and I hardly noticed Marcus and his assistant. They did a great job of “staying out of the way” to capture all the special moments as the day went on. Marcus also helped us + our photographer when we were doing some portraits after the ceremony. When we did receive our video, we could not stop smiling the entire time we watched it. We absolutely love it and the touches Marcus put on it; from the editing to the music, etc. My husband loved the drone shots too of the venue! I am so glad I hired Marcus as our videographer for our wedding day. We now have a great video that literally takes us back in time to that day and helps us relive those special moments. I hope you make the smart decision like I did and hire Marcus/Intellect Media to capture your wedding day or special event!
Marcus and his team we’re phenomenal!! Our video came out better than expected! I only say that because I felt like there was so much going on, there was no way all of THIS could be captured, but the proof is in the pudding! I’m so happy we hired Intellect Media! Wedding videos are an absolute must! If you’re on the fence about getting a videographer, say no more fam, this team right here will have all the best angles of you and all the most important people in your life on the big screen looking Pinterest perfect!
Marcus and his crew were truly outstanding! I couldn't believe the final product, it was really like the a movie that perfectly captures every essence of the wedding and entire day. They were very professional but personable at the same time and made me and my guests feel free to be ourselves the entire time. I couldn't imagine having anyone else to document our perfect day! :)
Where do I begin? Marcus and his team WERE AMAZING! The first time my husband and I met Marcus with our wedding planner Luciana from Luxe and Luna, we knew he was the one we wanted to do our wedding video. From the way he captured everything (from getting ready to the grand exit and every details in all the videos he has made, it made us decided to get him without hesitation. My husband and I talked about how we wanted our wedding film to be and we talked to Marcus about it. He assured us he could do it especially taking shot while my husband and his groomsmen drove from the hotel to our venue using his drone. He listens to your ideas and of course would suggest more. And not only that he is compassionate to his work, also he makes a couple very comfortable while he does his job during the day of the wedding. We got married in August 2016 & after 2 months, we got our wedding video PACKAGE. He asked us first to watch them and wanted to let him know if we wanted anything to be changed or if we were satisfied with the outcome. We LOVED EVERYTHING! We never changed anything. Also, He said that he always give any couple "a gift" regardless of any package you get. Everything was worth the wait. From the 1 minute Instagram video to our wedding highlight and film were SO WORTH every penny! Thank you Marcus for listening to our ideas and giving us the wedding videos we can have forever!!!! You are definitely one of the vendors we are grateful for to have on the best day of our lives! Book him and his team! One of the best for sure! You will not regret it :)
Aaron and I truly enjoyed working with Marcus and his team. Originally my husband and I were not going to have a videographer, however, when we met Marcus he changed our minds. From the moment we met him we knew we were going to book him as our videographer. You can see his passion for videography in his work and he went above and beyond to capture our day. Throughout the process he made us feel like family and I am truly thankful that we met him. I cannot stop watching our wedding video and I can't wait to share it with our families.
The decision to hire a videographer for our wedding was very last minute for us. We thought we would be all set with having a photographer, but the more we spoke to friends and family, the more we realized that having this component to help us capture all the memories of such a whirlwind night was absolutely necessary.
We interviewed several companies, but after we met with Marcus, we knew we had the perfect match. Marcus has great attitude and charisma and really offers up some great packages for your wedding day for a reasonable price.
On the day of the wedding, Marcus and his team (yes, he brings a team when necessary) showed up bright and early. He and his team were very professional and considerate. When needed they provided guidance for where to stand and position ourselves, but at the same time knew when to stand back and just let the magic happen.
Marcus and his team made the whole process very effortless. We are SO happy with the end product and all the film that he and his team shot that day. We couldn't have asked for a better group of people to work with. Thank you Intellect Media!
Intellect Media did an amazing job on our wedding video. Marcus was a pleasure to work with from our first meeting. He made us and our guests feel very comfortable around him and in front of the camera. We are so happy we chose to have a videographer to document our wedding day. We have a great video that captures a lot of things the bride and the groom miss during the day. We are so happy we chose to have a videographer and we are even happier we chose Intellect Media!
Marcus was our favorite vendor. He took the time to meet with us on several occasions to make sure he was getting our vision just right. He also even created links for me to to post on facebook so all of our family and friends could see our wedding video. If you're looking for the best videographer, look no further! Marcus is amazing!!! Highly recommend him!
Marcus William was an amazing videographer!!!!! He was funny and sweet too. We loved our wedding videos and we enjoyed having him around. Marcus pays attention to detail and makes sure you get everything you want. If you choose intellect media I promise you wont be disappointed.
Marcus/intellect media was the most amazing investment that we made for our wedding. Watching the video brought tears to our eyes. We were able to re-live the memories and see parts of the wedding that we never saw. From the day we called marcus, he was everything we wanted in a videographer. Creative, patient, knowledgable & such a professional. He went the extra mile on every part of our video capturing every Single part of the day. If you are deciding whether to get a videographer, i promise you will love every second of the video!! Thank you marcus & intellect media.
We LOVE Marcus!! We're so happy we found him! He was so helpful from the first phone call through the wedding day. He checked in with us leading up to our wedding and helped suggest other vendors too. Marcus was so much fun to work with, and our wedding day went so smoothly! We can't wait to see our video!!! We highly recommend Intellect Media!
We are so happy that we decided to have a videographer for our wedding. Watching the video allowed us to relive our beautiful wedding day and brought back wonderful memories. Marcus did an amazing job with the video footage and the drone footage was spectacular! He is very friendly and easy to work with. We appreciate his hard work and dedication in incorporating everything in the video that we wanted! We LOVED the video! Thank you so much, Marcus!
Marcus & his team exceeded our expectations! They did such a great job at helping us relive our wedding day through just 14 minutes of video highlights. Our friends & family, especially us, couldn’t stop crying tears of joy while replaying the video repeatedly. We highly recommend Intellect Media to capture your big day! Not only is Marcus great at what he does, but his personality makes you feel just like family. He makes you feel as if you’re not just a customer to him, but you feel important & as if you’re his top priority. He’s had multiple clients during the Memorial Day weekend of our wedding, although we felt as if we were his only ones! We plan on having a vow renewal in ~10 years - we are definitely going to use Intellect Media again!
You're often told that your wedding day goes by as fast as a camera flash... and it's very true.
My wife and I have heard that statement over and over and were on the fence about hiring a videographer. We are so glad we did, with the help of Dragon Studios who recommended Intellect Media. They starting shooting while each of us were getting ready in our specific places and you never knew they were there (very Professional). They interacted with us and kept everything fun and allowed us to be us.
At the end of the night we thought we had taken it all in.
Once we received our DVD we immediately threw it in and watched. Intellect media caught so many moments that we wouldn't of been able to see and added so many more memories to the ones we had.
The DVD was amazing quality and had everything we wanted and more.
He was very professional, on time, and diligent. He did a great job of capturing the big moments and even the little ones that we didn't remember. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a videographer. Also very affordable.
I was very pleased with the quality of work and detail that was put into my wedding video! Marcus was very professional and through! My wedding video was everything to me and captured every special moment from beginning to end! Then when all was said and done, when all the editing and putting all the footage together was done the finish product was beautiful all the way down to the packaging. The box, even the DVD case it came in was very creative! I have no complaints and if I could do it all over again I would definitely hire Intellect Media all over again with no hesitation. If you want quality work and reasonable pricing, then I suggest you get them on your team to film your special day! I did and so should you! Thanks again Marcus and the Intellect Media team! Your awesome!
Marcus was wonderful to work with and made my wedding day a Day I will never forget.
I didn't seriously consider having a videographer until I met Marcus :) Not only did all my guests absolutely love him, he brought such a different perspective to capturing our wedding day and went above and beyond for us. His creativity and innovation brought our wedding to a level I didn't think imaginable! A picture may say a thousand words but Marcus's video left us completely speechless :) the day went by so fast, but now we will be able to relive the best day of or lives over and over again!
Intellect Media went far beyond our expectations. Marcus and his team were fantastic and professional since day one. He is indeed top notch when it comes to his skills and his expertise.
Marcus was there every step of the process making suggestions, keeping in contact with me and answering every question I had.
The finished product was breathtaking. Anyone can take video equipment, hit record and add music to it, but it takes someone who has a passion for their craft to be able to capture the smaller moments that truly define what you wedding day was about. I cannot thank Marcus and his team enough for being a part of our day and making it special. As far as vendors are concerned, this is the best decision we made for our wedding.
