Michael Scot Films

Am so glad I chose Mike as our wedding videographer. He did an amazing job in capturing our special day, so professional and we've watched the video countless times now. Not only that, he's also a very nice guy and it was so fun to worked with him.

Mike did an amazing job preparing for our big day by asking great questions, connecting with our wedding coordinator, and photographer so he knew how to capture all the key moments. Each of the five videos he produced has helped us remember and celebrate that day again....and again.

Given the circumstances surrounding weddings today, we really appreciated that Mike and his team stayed in close communication with us to make the process as easy as possible. He was professional, funny, and provided great direction. He blended into the crowd so well that half the time, we didn’t notice he was there. It allowed him to capture all the wonderful moments while allowing us to feel comfortable and enjoy ourselves. What more could you ask for out of a wedding videographer? We were able to have a hand in the creative process post-wedding too! Thank you Mission Visual for providing us with a beautiful video; one that gave us the opportunity to share our special day with our friends and family who could not make it and one that we plan to share with our future children and grandchildren. Truly grateful, Annabel and John.

Michael and his team did an amazing job 👏 My video was better than perfect!!!

Let me start by saying Mike was awesome from beginning to end. My fiancé and I were having trouble narrowing down a videographer in our budget who had quality work. Luckily, the Knot pointed me in the direction of Mike. My biggest concern was finding a videographer who had experience with filming a Catholic wedding, which Mike had. After talking with Mike on the phone and discussing my budget, we booked him, and I am SO glad we did. Our original wedding date was June 13th, which got postponed due to Covid-19. Mike was patient with me throughout the entire postponement and rescheduling process. He kept reassuring me it would be okay and that we will find a date that works. Well, we we were able to book a new date: August 7th, 2020. Mike had recently relocated to Idaho; however, he was still able to book a flight and film our wedding. The day of the wedding, Mike was professional, patient, and hardworking. He and his assistant went above and beyond for us and even stayed for an additional 15 minutes outside of our contract time. When we received the film, we were elated. It captured mine and my husband's love and the film had GREAT music that Mike allowed us to pick out. My one regret is not booking Mike for an additional hour. If we did, we would have had a bit more coverage of me and my guests on the dance floor. So tip to future brides, book the extra time, it will be worth it! Overall, my husband and I cannot recommend Mike and his team enough. Thank you, Mike, for creating a memory that will last a life time for me and my husband!

I was introduced to Mike at Mission Visual through Wedgewood's photographer vendors. I had so many concerns about my video because I am not necessarily photogenic and neither is my husband. I kept wondering what it was going to look like and if I would wind up in any embarassing shots and whether I would regret not being more "aware" that I was being recorded. Well I'll just say that when I got the email that our wedding video was ready I was nervous and anxious but once I downloaded the feature film which was about 3 minutes playing the song I walked down the aisle to I was bawling with tears of joy. It was BEAUTIFUL and he managed to capture sides of us that didn't make us look awkward or would make us feel embarrassed. He caught scenes that I will forever be grateful he caught on video. He was punctual and worked great side-by-side with the photographer and had a funny sense of humor that helped us feel at ease during filming. He also accommodated just about all of our requests. If I can hire him again for ANY event again I 10/10 definitely will. Thanks Mike!

Mike is amazing to work with! He is very responsive and helpful with any questions you may have. He customized a package that fit our needs, and our wedding video turned out great! He managed to capture all our special moments, and our favorite part was the guest comments. I would definitely recommend him and his team to any couple, and look forward to watching our video over the years to come!

We just got our video back from Mike and Mission Visual and we love it. I can't believe how many times we watched it already. We are so happy that we decided to do a wedding video and Mike captured every moment perfectly. The drone shots were so cool and the editing was right on with our song. We asked Mike to do something a little different to match our unconventional wedding and we was enthusiastically on board and create a video we will love forever. Mike is so great the day of the wedding with the perfect energy and professionalism.

Mike's video was really worth the wait. I was happy and impressed by the amount of work that was put into the flow and transition of the video while synchronizing with the music that was selected for their intended purpose. However, I did recall wanting some drone view but did not see it. There were a few beginning footages that should've been exclusively focusing on the groom and bride but instead the guests. And some photo shoot recording with friends had a repeat of the same people that could've been removed. But overall, I would give an A-.

Our wedding was on 11/11/2017 and we are so happy that we chose Mission Visual to be apart of our special day. Mike and his team did a great job of accommodating all our wishes and desires on the day of the wedding as well as during the film editing process. Mike was willing to work with us on our budget and include everything we wanted part of the video package. He was even able to include drone footage which came out amazing. We highly recommend Mission Visual for any wedding, you won't be disappointed.

We got married in Ventura, which is quite a hike from Orange County. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law used Mission Visual for their wedding video and it was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. They don't use cheesy songs or put things together in a sloppy manner. They put a preview video up 3-4 weeks after your wedding to tide you over until you get the full video 2-3 months after the event. We haven't seen the video yet but having seen their work before I have no doubt that it will be amazing. I recommend getting a package with two videographers so you can get some close up shots and detail shots with some "big picture" shots. They also interview friends and family and put an awesome segment in your full video. AMAZING!

Mission Visual captured my wedding brilliantly. They captured the emotion, feeling and essence of our day with wonderful artistry, cinematography and breathtaking music. I am very happy I chose Mission Visual. They are 5 star performers all the way!

When my husband and I were looking for a videographer to capture our wedding day, we wanted the very best. Mission Visual was recommended to us by our fabulous wedding coordinator (Marla @ Cheers To You! Events), so being the researcher that I am, I researched them among MANY others in the area. Out of all those I looked at, Mission Visual was by far the best...the quality of their videos was stellar, and they had pricing options to fit every budget. I set up a meeting with Mike McCaleb and immediately knew I was going to hire him. He was friendly, comfortable, funny, and talented. I knew he would make us feel comfortable on our wedding day and capture it beautifully. And he sure did! When we received our draft cut, we didn't have to change a thing! It was perfect! Since our wedding, I have recommended Mission Visual to several people who also end up hiring them! They are the best!!!

We LOVE Mission Visual!! I had pretty much had my heart set on booking Mission Visual. Once my husband met Mike for our meet and greet, he understood why I was so determined to book him. Mike is genuinely passionate about his work and is incredibly talented!! On the day of the event he and his assistant (Solomon) instantly made both families and close friends feel comfortable with their presence. For the most part we barely noticed them, which was nice, because some of the weddings I have attended it was like the paparazzi were following the wedding party and getting in the way of the guests. Selecting a videographer is an important decision and our experience during the wedding was great, however, anyone can film an event the editing is where Mission Visual really shined for us. He was able to capture our love story and create a video that we will share with many generations to come.

Loved working with him

Our wedding was on May 8th, 2010. Mike McCaleb and crew were amazing on our big day. He worked well with our photog and really went the extra mile to make the couple feel special. He filmed our "Love Story" (how we met & fell in love) and played it during the reception and we received compliments afterwards on how cool and fun it was to watch. He loves to show your real personality and encourages you to just be 'you'. I tell all of my engaged friends about Mission Visual. If you are on the fence about hiring a videographer, DO IT. I am so happy and shed tears everytime I watch our vows, first dance, Father Daughter dance and our guest comments. We are not a "video" family, so to have those memories on film is priceless to me.
