We feel so lucky to have found Media Hammock for our October 19, 2024 wedding. Look no further than Michael! He is extremely talented, personable, organized, and a true professiona...
l. Both my husband and I feel awkward on camera/video and felt a little nervous about the need to be performative for the videography to be successful. Upon finding Media Hammock, we knew this would not be an issue. Michael allows you to be yourselves and captures the naturalness of you as a couple, not to mention the full beauty of your special day with ease. He was everywhere and nowhere at the same time, no acting required. Our final edited wedding video is gorgeous, amazing and natural!! He provided us with so many memories to last a lifetime.
We cannot express enough gratitude and admiration for the incredible work Michael did for our wedding! The entire experience of working with him was seamless, professional, and ful...
l of creativity.
On the day of the wedding, Michael captured every special moment without ever feeling intrusive. The attention to detail, the artistic eye, and the ability to turn fleeting moments into lasting memories are truly remarkable. Watching the trailer of our wedding video brought tears to our eyes – it was like reliving the best day of our lives all over again and we know the full video will be even better!
If you are searching for someone to capture your big day, look no further! Michael is passionate, talented, and a joy to work with. We are forever grateful to have these memories preserved so perfectly.
I was married on July 27, 2024. I interviewed many Djs, photographers, and florists, but only two videographers. Mike Turner stood out right away as a very professional videographe...
r who really seemed like he loves what he does. From that first meeting, he made us feel completely at ease and confident in his abilities.
On the actual wedding day, he made us feel extremely calm, and told me that he loved my dress and that it looked great on me. I know that it seems silly to mention in this review, but in that moment, it was exactly what I needed to hear. I was feeling completely overwhelmed and that one comment made me feel beautiful and ready to marry the love of my life.
Mike worked well with our photographer and other vendors, ensuring everything went smoothly without any interruptions. His excellent communication and coordination made the whole process so much easier for us, and we never had to worry about a thing.
His professionalism was evident throughout the entire process, and he captured every beautiful moment of our special day with such precision and care. We received the 1 minute trailer when we arrived home from our honeymoon and it was a wonderful present to watch! Working with Mike on our documentary was easy and he listened to any changes that we wanted to make.
We are beyond grateful for the memories he’s helped us preserve, and we would highly recommend Mike Turner to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and genuinely caring videographer.
We decided to go with Media Hammock for our wedding videographer and are beyond happy with our decision! Michael responded quickly to every email - from start to finish - and even ...
after, when working on the videos! Ken was the videographer at our wedding and he was very nice, professional, worked great with the other vendors, and kept things moving smoothly the entire time! We loved the wedding trailer video that was put together - it captured such precious memories that we can look back on. We have already watched it a bunch of times! Originally we were not sure we wanted a wedding videographer, but the initial meeting with Michael convinced us otherwise. After seeing the highlight video, we are grateful we got to speak to Michael and made the decision to go with Media Hammock. We cannot wait to see the longer video when it is ready! Would highly recommend using Media Hammock as your wedding videographer!

Our wedding videography experience with Michael was absolutely amazing. He was so kind, patient, and communicative. He met with us several times leading up to the big day and was a...
lways willing to answer any questions we had and to offer us guidance when needed. On the night of the wedding he was so flexible, professional, and just overall made it such a smooth experience. We definitely recommend his services for any event, but especially for wedding videography!!
Mike was absolutely wonderful to work with. Our videos came out exactly how we envisioned. He captured all of our favorite moments. He fit in so well with our wedding guests that w...
e didn’t even realize he was there. I think the mark of a true professional is being able to blend in seamlessly with the surroundings and not take away from the special moments he is capturing. Mike also worked extremely well with our other vendors. He coordinated with the photographer and our DJ about scheduling of key moments and the best angles to capture everything. He was a huge part of everything running smoothly and perfectly that day. I highly recommend Mike for your videography needs for your special day!
Working with Mike was seamless. He was professional from the very start and made sure that he captured all the important parts of our special day despite the rain. I would 100% rec...

ay of, he captured every important moment via video and sound. He delivered our final video within the timeframe agreed upon, even earlier, and sent us all of our raw footage in the mail so we could forever watch the most special moments from our day. If you are looking for a videographer for your wedding, definitely book it with Media Hammock - Michael Turner!

beautiful. My wife and I are so thankful we found him to film our wedding. His prices are more than fair for the quality of work that he does, and he is so easy to work with and very responsive to emails. It was a pleasure working with him, and I would recommend him to anyone getting married in the Capital Region!

ing. The highlight video he created exceeded our expectations. Family and friends called to say they cried watching the video the first, second and third time, and how beautifully he captured all of the most important moments. It is a video we will treasure forever. I would hire Michael again in a heartbeat and am grateful he was our videographer.
Words will never be able to express how much we enjoyed working with Mike! Throughout the entire planning process he was always in contact to make sure we were all on the same page...
for our wedding day. He did an amazing job of filming all of our special wedding moments as well as ones we hadn't initially seen first-hand the day of. He quickly sent us a sneak peek trailer while we were on our honeymoon, which was so special to enjoy! Our final wedding documentary was beautiful and we are so excited to rewatch this special day with our family and friends for years to come!
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 exper...
ience 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!
Media Hammock was amazing!! They were so professional and the video is better than we ever Imagined.

Mike was great! Before the wedding he was very responsive and attentive, as well as flexible. His pricing and packages were also more reasonable and customizable than many others w...
e looked at, while still offering amazing quality. He was kind, 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. Mike was the kindest, most flexible, and most reasonably priced (again, without losing any quality!) of everyone we spoke to. We are so happy with his work and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a videographer for their wedding!!
Mike was amazing! We only had one initial meeting with him before the actual wedding and he was on top of everything. He came with ideas we never would have thought of and made u...

e rate. He completed a highlight video within a few days of the wedding with great results. We would highly recommend others to use him in the future.
Mike was absolutely fantastic. We got married at Hunter Mountain and mother nature was not in our favor on memorial day weekend. It was 20° and raining ! Mike was up on the mountai...
n in his warm jacket and all our guests were very jealous of his jacket! Regardless of the weather and the conditions, he had the best attitude and was so excited to be up there. Mike is very easy to communicate with and is very professional. 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!!
Mike was the most amazing Videographer I could have chosen! My husband and I changed our wedding due to Covid-19 and Mike worked with us every step of the way to make it the best d...
ay. The highlight video he made was perfect, it captured our intimate moments as well as the funny moments throughout the wedding. Mike was attentive and responsive throughout the planning process and our wedding day. He was a joy to work with and I would highly recommend him to anyone!
I booked Michael based on his amazing price and watching some of his work. I was impressed during phone conversations he was very personable and answered all my annoying questions ...
! We ended up going from a super basic package to the best one he has and I didn’t regret it one bit. He made such a beautiful representation of our day and we will never forget it! We had an unexpected speech and the other 3 were sort of long and I am so happy he extended his normal video length to include them because he knew how much they meant to us! He showed up on time, looked professional, always answered my emails promptly. That plus the quality of work you’d be an idiot not to include him in your day! Don’t skimp out on videography you’ll never remember all the small moments in photos alone!
Michael/Media Hammock was fantastic! Very nice guy, easy to talk to, up front about pricing and very reasonably priced. My wife and I explained to him exactly what we wanted and he...

I would highly recommend Michael Turner/Media Hammock as a videographer for anyone that wants their wedding perfectly captured to be cherished forever.

edding day until our last moments taking some video dancing out in the crosswalk outside of our venue. Our teaser reel and full-length film were just beautiful and edited together so professionally. We are so happy we have these special moments to cherish. We highly recommend videography on your wedding day (especially with Mike Turner). The day is so stressful and it's so wonderful so look back on all of the highlights and things we may have missed, we will cherish the videos for a lifetime!
We hired Michael as our wedding videographer at a recommendation of one of our friends who recently used him for their wedding, and while we KNEW he would be excellent after watchi...
ng their wedding video, we were blow away by him! He had all of the stuff you take for granted, professionalism, punctuality, worked excellently with our photographer, and all the things we didnt. The video we got completely blew us away! He did an incredible job of blending both the highlight points of the wedding, while capturing the small details we put hours of time into (many of which we didnt get to experience on the actual wedding). We were on the fence about getting a videographer, and I am so thankful we did, and so thankful we found Michael -- we will be rewatching footage for the rest of our lives!
If you are thinking of hiring a videographer. First of all DO IT and if you do, hire Media Hammock, Mike for your special day !! I am soo happy that we found this videographer for ...
our big day! I hardly remember since the day when by so fast and he captured everything for us to relive our special day! Our video was perfect and I loved how he edited our special day. Also, Mike is SO nice and professional and you hardly even noticed that he was there while filming. I wish I could rate more than 5 stars. Thank you so much again Mike! You rock!!

. He was very communicative which is highly appreciated from a vendor. Also, Mike was much more flexible in packages and being willing to work with us on amount of time and extras.

d a videographer that produced high quality work but wasn't going to break the bank - that's how I found Michael with Media Hammock. He was super responsive and worked with me on selecting the ideal package for our wedding at a very reasonable price. He understood our vision for our day perfectly - we was discreet onsite, captured beautiful candid moments and produced a highlight video the pieced together our day flawlessly. His editing was beyond my expectations, smoothly transitioning from one scene to the next with fitting music and sound bites. I've watched our video 100+ time this past week and couldn't be more happy that I stuck to my guns about booking a videographer - especially Michael.
Michael was so easy to work with (responsive and on top of everything)! The video he made was lovely and we are so happy to have it. Thank you so much!
