About This Vendor

Your wedding is unique and your video will be too!

Media Hammock creates cinematic videos that capture the special moments from your day, and tell a beautiful love story with all the fun and laughter that goes with it. The areas that I cover are within a 1.5 hour radius of Clifton Park, NY. This includes but is not limited Albany, Troy, Saratoga Springs, Schenectady, Lake George, Brant Lake in NY | Bennington, VT | North Adams, Pittsfield, Williamstown, Springfield, MA. Just to name a few areas. We make sure to capture stunning moving images but also the sounds that go with it nice and clearly. Packages typically include 5 hours of coverage, 1 cinematographer, 2 cameras, a 5-7 minute highlight that is great for sharing with family and friends online, and Raw Footage from your entire day. There are a variety of package options to cover whatever amount of time you may need. There are wedding videos that are short and fun to watch for those wanting to share the special moments of the day with family and friends online, and there are longer films that are great to watch at home for a viewing party or for an extended look at your wedding. For more information about packages and options offered, please send a message. There is so much planning that goes into a wedding. You take so much time picking out dresses, tuxedos, cake, picking a venue, ordering invitations, designing place cards, and the list goes on. Then on your wedding day, you are moving at a million miles an hour and some of that gets missed. With a wedding video, you won’t miss a thing! Talk to you soon!

Michael was amazing and I would highly recommend him for anyone looking for a wedding videographer. I was honestly a little hesitant at first to even have one because my last experience with one at a wedding was pretty intrusive with the camera...

in your face while trying to dance. Michael was nothing like this. He was professional and easy to work with. He was barely noticeable at our reception which is exactly what we wanted but after watching his videos clearly able to capture all the fine moments of our ceremony and reception. My parents commented the next day that they didn't even know we had a videographer at the wedding. His highlight video was very well done and he made sure everything was/went the way we wanted it to. Highly Recommend!

easy to work with, and delivered a GREAT 5-6 minute video that really captured what our wedding was like! We were on the fence as to whether we should hire a videographer at all, so we actually ended up reaching out to several videographers somewhat last-minute.

We set up a few meetings getting to know each other and then we met again a couple weeks before the wedding and he set all our worries at ease! Due to the pandemic, my family from England and Ireland couldn’t come, but Mike was able to live stream the event for us and people from all around the world are able to join us for a special moment. Mike was recommended to us by our photographer and he was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Thank you so much Mike we love our video!!
