Michael Lemley Films

Cannot express how much we loved Michael! My husband and I went back and forth about whether we needed/wanted a videographer for 2 months - he was the last vendor we booked. I didn't do much research but happened to come across Michael's instagram page and fell in love with his videos. We did a video consult and right off the bat, Michael is so sweet, friendly and personable. He was very thorough in making sure he got to know us, our personalities, our story - he genuinely connected with us. The day of the wedding was the best part - Michael was like our best friend for the day and honestly was such a joy to be around. I am a bit camera shy and I tend to get a little awkward but Michael made it so comfortable and easy for me to be myself. When we received our full film, my husband and I were in tears and SO happy with how it came out. Michael really highlighted the relationship we have and how amazing that day was for us. Overall, if you're looking for someone who is passionate about what they do and truly cares about the people they meet, we highly recommend Michael! :)

There are not enough stars to give Michael and his team!! Michael is truly the kindest, happiest and extremely talented person you will ever meet. We had a few facetime calls leading up to the wedding and it was so perfect to get to know him ahead of the wedding date. When we met Michael we felt like we had known him for years!! He truly made us feel like we were the only bride and groom in the world! Its also a true compliment when family and friends complimented how amazing he was to work with!!! Michael and Reagan were everywhere all at once without even noticing them! They caught every single moment and looked like they were having the best time while doing it. IT was truly a joy to have them at our wedding and now we have these memories forever.

Michael is INCREDIBLE - from start to finish of our whole process, he was incredible. Not only is he so sweet and really fun to talk to, but he made us instantly feel like family. He is so talented and spent so much time making sure every detail of our special day was captured as we wanted it. He is truly an amazing person and videographer and we can't recommend him enough!!

Michael was invested in getting to know us not only as a couple but also as individual people from the day we met him. The energy that he brings to the table, you can feel no matter how you are communicating with him. Videos are important because they capture the true life of a moment or a memory and so we wanted to make sure we chose the right person to capture our big day. Michael exceeded all of our expectations! He pays close attention to detail, is creative, and is extremely fun to be around. We also loved his assistant, Ryan! I was drawn to Michael’s work because of the style in which he presents his films. I love the way he incorporates special moments like custom vows and is a master at telling a story through his work. Every person who has seen our teaser & highlight film has commented, “this is like something straight out a movie”. My response is always, “that’s all Michael, he is incredible!”. I truly can’t say enough good things about Michael! We would recommend him a million times over, he made all of our wedding video dreams come true!

Michael is the absolute BEST wedding videographer! Without question he made our day special and magical as we could have ever imagined, even in a hurricane. The storytelling through our wedding film captures every single detail about our relationship and our wedding day. The genuine care, love, and thoughtfulness Michael puts into his artistry is unmatched. He radiates this energy that makes you want to be lifelong friends with him. We are so thankful we crossed paths with Michael and the beautiful work he produces-- we are so excited to have our wedding film forever. Thank you Michael!!

I seriously can't recommend Michael enough! Having him capture our wedding day was truly one of the best decisions we ever made!! He is such a talented, sweet, genuine, fun, caring, selfless, and thoughtful person. Michael is very relational and genuinely wanted to foster a relationship and friendship with us. I never felt like a client- Michael made us feel like lifelong friends from the very beginning. He truly invested in us and got to know us and our love story. He was able to beautifully capture the spirit of joy and love that was so evident that day. You can so clearly see his artistry. In addition, he is such a wonderful and talented storyteller. When watching our wedding video, you are able to relive all the emotions that were felt that day:) Michael was a great communicator from start to finish. His technological skills are absolutely remarkable. I truly don't have the words to express our appreciation for the beautiful and special memory he created for us to enjoy for a lifetime. Not only did we find an amazing videographer; we found a friendship that we will cherish forever. BOOK MICHAEL AS YOUR VIDEOGRAPHER NOW:))

Michael was absolutely amazing to work with on our wedding day! We searched for a videographer for a long time and as soon as we saw Michael’s work we knew he was the one! He is so talented and it’s easy to see how passionate he is about his work! We received our sneak peek video back from our October wedding, and in just a minute clip we felt like we relived every emotion we felt on our wedding day! He captures such special moments that you aren’t even thinking about at the time. He also makes you feel so comfortable behind the camera. We are honored that he was a part of our day! I know he captured memories that we will cherish forever :)

The moment we met Michael and started talking to him about what kinds of stories he likes to tell through his videos, we knew he was the perfect fit for us and were so excited! Michael was very kind and professional the entire time we spoke with him. He was well prepared and on the wedding day he completely blended in — I don’t even know how he got some of the shots that he did because I didn’t see him! He put a mic on my groom which caught some absolutely priceless exchanges during the wedding ceremony. When we got all of our edited video back, it brought up all of the feelings from our big day and it was clear that Michael had listened to everything we wanted and had asked for. I truly can’t recommend him enough.

If you want the most professional, personal, friendly, easy, and efficient wedding video process then book with Michael ASAP! My husband and I feel like we are friends with him because of how kind he's been through this whole process! From day one he went out of his way to make things awesome for us. He responded super quick and helped us figure out how to make the wedding day perfect and easy to capture. On the day of the wedding he came early and was super professional and kind. He had many cameras going at once but no one even realized! They were hidden and quiet which was awesome and the shots were stunning. Brides spend a lot of time on their wedding day with their videographer so it was super important to me to find someone kind and with Michael it felt like I was hanging with a good friend. He has an awesome balance of getting the shots he needs while staying out of the spotlight and letting the day flow. He captured candid moments without us even realizing! He puts his heart and soul into his work and it really shows. The joy of his work is so evident and speaks of his awesome character and personality. Multiple friends and family have said Michael's video is the best wedding video they have ever seen. I HIGHLY recommend booking Michael for the best wedding video experience you can get.

We weren't sure if we wanted to hire a videographer at first but we are so incredibly thankful that we did! I refer to all of the vendors that we hired for our wedding as our "dream team" and Michael was no exception. Our photographer recommended Michael over two years ago and they worked so incredibly well together that everything was so seamless. Our bridal party felt at ease and we were able to completely relax and be ourselves throughout the whole day which was so important to us. Michael explained everything to us through multiple email exchanges and video calls and was so reassuring the day of. We were able to receive our trailer in less than a week, which was amazing to just relive those special moments over and over when we were just coming down from our wedding high. I will always tell my friends to hire a videographer and will always recommend Michael! It is so worth the investment and we will cherish our wedding footage forever and can't wait to share them with others.

Michael was amazing to work with - we are so thankful he was the one to film our wedding! We debated for a long time if having a wedding video was worth it, but Michael made it 110% worth it! He spent time leading up to us getting to know our story and us as individuals which was really special. He also responded to all of my questions along the way ASAP which was super important to me trying to plan a wedding on my own! One of my favorite things about Michael was that he worked together with my photographer so I didn’t have to coordinate anything between them, and also that I didn’t actually notice he was there on the day of! I didn’t want to feel like we were being followed around by a camera on such an important day and wanted to be in the moment with my husband, and I can honestly say I forgot Michael was there! As great as he is that was one of the best parts of his work in my opinion. We have gotten so many compliments and tears from our wedding video already!

I cannot recommend Michael highly enough! He was an absolute dream to work with. He is so creative, kind, communicative, and professional. He really loves his work, and you can tell by the love and care he puts into all of his couples and their videos. He did such an amazing job capturing our day and creating our video. It is something we will cherish forever! Thank you, Michael!

I wasn't going to hire a videographer at first and then became more curious about the prospect. I was sold when I saw Michael's work and read about his love for travel and adventure. It was very relatable for my husband and I. Then we met him! He lives every word that's on his website. He genuinely gets to know you as individuals and as a unit. Based on this, he finds a way to capture the most beautiful, sacred, intimate moments of this magical day. He's professional, kind, communicates well, and worked seamlessly with our photographer (whom he had not met previously). They scoped out the area and worked together on some amazing ideas for photos and video. Don't get me started on the AERIAL shots! Now, I'm SO EXCITED to see what Michael puts together for us. Trust me when I say that you don't want to hire the least expensive videographer out there. You also don't want the person who just does this to make money. Michael clearly has passion for his work. His work/fine art/craft is worth absolutely every penny. I'd hire him again in a heartbeat.

We cannot say enough good things about Michael! First off, we were drawn to Michael by the clear energy and passion he has for his work, and the beautiful examples of wedding films we found on his websites. Then when we actually had a chance to talk with him, look through his brochure, and have him answer our questions, we knew that we'd be hard pressed to find anyone half as professional, or who cared as much about our wedding, as Michael did! Throughout the planning process, he made everything so easy, communicating directly with our church and other vendors and getting our feedback on exactly what priorities we had for the day/how we wanted to remember it. Day of, Michael was a joy to be with. He filled the room with great energy, made you feel so comfortable, was the consummate professional! One of the things we were most worried about was whether having a videographer would make us feel like we were living the whole day on camera, but we were shocked to see how Michael captured every moment of the day (even ones we didn't realize!) without us ever even knowing he was there sometimes! He worked seamlessly with our photographer so that all of our shots were done at the same time, leaving plenty of time to actually get out there and enjoy the cocktail party and reception! All this to say, we were 100% lifelong fans of Michael and his work before we even saw the videos, which then blew our minds. He got us a trailer the day after the wedding amid peak wedding season, and our full movie even faster than we expected, and both FAR exceeded our expectations. Both my husband and I cannot stop saying how we feel like Michael captured the "feel" of the day. It's truly like a time capsule, and every time I watch it I'm newly blown away by the level of detail and craftmanship that went into this incredible film. I can't believe I ever wondered if I'd need a videographer! His work truly speaks for itself - he did an INCREDIBLE job and we could not be more impressed. Thank you, Michael!

Michael is INCREDIBLE!! He has such a special talent and it really shows in all his work. My husband and I are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with him - although he felt more like a friend than a vendor. He is SO fun to work with, kept us laughing, and captured every possible emotion and detail (second videographer was such a plus). We have watched our teaser and film SO much and we've only been married a few weeks! Michael's turnaround time is unbelievable. We received our teaser within 48 hours and he had the entire film complete within a month (like WHAT!!! in the middle of a busy spring wedding season). Our friends and family cannot get enough of our videos - he has gone above and beyond our wildest dreams to create unbelievable content. Book him!!!!!! Best decision we made during the entire wedding planning process.

BEST DECISION WE EVER MADE! Michael's feature film of our wedding day EXCCEEDED our expectations and MORE! First off Michael was our favorite vendor. From the moment I first started talking to him on Instagram until I said goodbye the night of the wedding he was an absolute pleasure to work with. His communication was by far the best. So attentive and responsive to all our needs. My fiancé was hesitant at first about a videographer but when we received the final product he was crying because of how good it was. He kept saying "this was worth every penny". Michael captured our personalities and style exact. He is truly gifted in what he does. He is professional and now a friend. We highly recommend him. As a wedding planner in the industry, I have seen many vendors but he surpasses them all. Thank you for creating a film we can show our kids and grandkids one day. It truly was the best day ever. Book him. You wont regret it. Love, Courtney and Henry Wittman

Michael is kind, caring, and quickly became a friend. He took the time to get to know my husband and I and learn all about our love story. He not only captured our wedding day, & details.. but all the feelings and emotions as well. I am so grateful for this amazing video, which allows my husband and I to relive and cherish one of the best days of our lives! Thank you Michael!

Michael was amazing to work with! We reached out to him two weeks before the wedding and he worked with us to create what we wanted. He was professional and personable. The video and sound quality were amazing! Michael was willing and able to answer any questions we had and took the time to get to know us before the wedding day. He showed up early to set up and we got our video and a highlight video delivered to us the night of the wedding! I would highly recommend Michael to anyone needing video services!!

This man delivered the most insane highlight film THE NIGHT OF the wedding. We are so so happy with everything he provided, there is a link below to our highlight film if you don't believe us. Michael Lemley is a caring, dedicated, talented videographer. We can’t describe the amount of detail and care he took into capturing the real moments during the Wedding and everything in between. If there is ever a doubt in your mind about wanting to choose someone else STOP, this man will do a better job, faster, with better style and as a quality friend to top it off.

Michael is an amazing videographer and person. He delivers a quality product and truly cares about capturing his client’s day perfectly. He is great to work with. He talked to me extensively even before I decided to hire him, had great communication throughout the whole process, and went above and beyond his contractual obligations. Due to COVID-19 beginning to emerge, my husband and I decided to do a ceremony with just a few people on our original date and have a larger celebration later. Michael was supportive throughout our decision to change our plans and made sure videography was not a pain point — allowing us out of the contract if our desire for videography coverage changed. When we decided on our final plan, Michael offered to split our coverage between the two days for no additional cost. On the day of, Michael showed up early, stayed late, and was unnoticeable — blending into the background but still capturing everything fully. Michael’s turn-around around time was record-fast. We had our sneak peak video in time to use it for our changed relationship status on social media. My husband and I loved the final product and highly recommend Michael Lemley Films. Michael's level of service, quality, coverage, and pricing are unmatched.

Michael was amazing!! He is so eager to work with you and capture your big day. If you can afford to, I HIGHLY recommend doing his package with the drone! It makes such a difference and adds a unique character to it! Michael is really quick to give you a 1 minute teaser days after the wedding. That was such a plus. He is such a kind and gentle person. I would recommend him in a heartbeat and rehire him over and over again!

Michael is an ABSOLUTE professional. If I could have him film more life events of mine, I will do it in a heartbeat. He knows exactly what he is doing, gives a lot of creative direction and always makes you feel like a king & queen. If you are in need of a videographer, stop looking, pick up the phone and call him to book him now!

The best! Michael was so friendly, professional, and created THE most stunning wedding video we could have ever imagined. Best vendor choice you could make!

Michael was amazing to work with! I knew we needed him for our wedding when I looked at his portfolio! Truly like out of a movie! He was quick to get in contact with and made the process so easy and fun! We got our sneak peek within 48 hours, which was awesome! Definitely makes us so excited for the full video! You can’t go wrong by having Michael Lemley film your big day!

Michael was wonderful to work with! He takes the time to get to know you and learn what you are truly looking for in a videographer and your wedding day film and he delivers! We absolutely LOVE our wedding day sneak peek and are looking forward to seeing our full length film. Michael captured everything we asked him to and so much more, just in the 1 minute sneak peek we have! All our guests commented about how wonderful our videographer was and were blown away with the footage he got when they didn't even realize he was there half the time. Michael was incredibly respectful of all ongoing festivities and got amazing footage without compromising any special moments i.e. walking down the aisle during the ceremony. Michael is a natural behind the camera and makes you feel comfortable while he works. My family couldn't recommend him higher as he has filmed both my sister and I's wedding and we couldn't be happier with the films and service he provided to us!

I am a videographer myself, so I would only accept the best for my wedding. I have worked with Michael in the past on various projects and so I have now gotten the opportunity to witness his work both from a behind the scenes point of view, and from the view of a client! I have not yet found anyone who can beat him in professionalism or skill. You absolutely can't go wrong by choosing Michael to capture your day.
