About this vendor
I keep my website much more up-to-date than my profile here on The Knot! https://michaelentz.wedding
I'm a filmmaker based in Baltimore, Maryland, specializing in candid, documentary style wedding films. I try to keep my prices low because I know how expensive weddings can be, but I think what I deliver to couples is extremely valuable: a chance to be seen from a beautiful, thoughtful, and centered perspective on one of the biggest days of their lives!
I love talking through vision, ideas, and options with couples, so let's setup a phone call or grab coffee and get to know each other! I have a few standard packages, but also a couple unique offerings I'd love to tell you about! Currently accepting bookings for 2023 and 2024!

We cannot say enough good things about Mike! He captured our day beautifully and brought us to tears with our highlight video. We felt like we were right back in the moment. We also got elected for the full footage package and are so grateful for the extended view of the day. Mike was thorough and really seemed to be everywhere all the time!
Working with Mike day of was so easy. He was supportive and on top of every moment. From getting ready through ceremony, pictures, cocktails, reception, dancing and right to the last moment of send off, he was on it. His ability to be present but not intrusive is incredible, especially for a one man team! His professionalism and positive attitude was so appreciated, navigating all the emotions and dynamics of the day.
When it came to editing the video, Mike was patient and accommodating to our minor fussy comments, which was so appreciated.
The value for level of service and quality of product received is unmatched. Mike’s style is lovely. It is quality, but feels honest and raw in a way that transports you right back to the moment. We were so lucky Mike was available to work with us and I would choose him again in a heartbeat!
Mike is an amazing videographer to work with! I was referred by 2 coworkers & we were very pleased!! He was extremely professional and great to work with!!
Mike is an excellent videographer to work with he goes with the flow and is just a very personable person
We are so grateful to Mike for capturing our wedding day live! Mike is a dream to work with: detail-oriented, flexible, and super talented. We can’t wait to see the final product & are so happy that Mike was there to capture everything as the day unfolded. Thanks again, Mike! :)
Booking Mike as our videographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. His work is absolutely fantastic. From the jump he was super proffesional and made us feel like he was excited to work with us. He is super flexible and his turn around time is incredible. We got the oppurtunity to film a 'Love Story' video in addition to wedding video. It was a great chance to meet Mike and get to know him, plus the video turned out adorable.
We could not have imagined a more perfect video to highlight our wedding day. We 100% reccommend trusting Mike with documenting your special day :)
Mike was amazing!!! From the initial phone call to the planning phase to the wedding day he was extremely professional, friendly, and flexible. He honestly felt like part of the family. Once we received our video I had to ask myself how one person was able to be in so many of the right places at the right time the entire day haha he captured so many special memories that we will cherish forever. Do yourself a favor and book him for your wedding. You won’t regret it.
We chose Mike as our videographer and could not be happier with our decision! He was so flexible, communicative and on top of everything! He was just a delight to be around on the day of the wedding and made you feel very at ease. He got our video back to us SO FAST and it is absolutely incredible!! Better than anything I even imagined, he captured our day so perfectly. I cry happy tears every time I watch it and have gotten endless compliments from everyone we have showed it to! He truly has a gift and you will not be disappointed with your choice if you pick Mike as your videographer!
The Short Version: Do you and your partner (and your future selves) the favor of booking Mike Lentz as your videographer. Mike was easily one of the best vendor decisions we made and he went above and beyond in capturing our wedding. My husband and I now have a video and countless clips from our wedding that will be forever cherished.
The Long Version: At the beginning of wedding planning, a videographer was not something my husband and I were considering. We weren’t interested in a “movie trailer” of our wedding day, and given the cost, we didn’t think it would be worth it. But as more of our friends got married, a common sentiment they all shared was that their wedding day was a blur and they wish they had some sort of recording of it. Accordingly, less than three months from our wedding, we started looking for a videographer.
After interviewing and seeing samples from about a dozen candidates, Mike’s shone above the rest. Sorting out the contract with Mike was seamless. Mike coordinated with us on certain priorities we had for the day: a full recording of our ceremony, the speeches, and the first dances. Mike was extremely accommodating to us and worked within our budget to make our dreams come true.
On our wedding day we met Mike, and he was kind incredibly kind and professional. I can get nervous around cameras, but he was so subtle that I hardly noticed he was there. (Looking at the clips he got—he was actually everywhere!) Mike diligently worked on our wedding video and gave us the opportunity to make revisions if we wanted. It was simply perfect as is. His documentary style truly captured the spirit of the day.
Shortly thereafter, Mike sent us the raw footage and the full parts of the wedding that we had requested. They are ALL amazing and each clip, no matter the length, perfectly depicts all of the emotion and fun of the day. These moments are priceless: from seeing our friends and family laugh and dance, to hearing our vows again, to watching me drop the cake intended for my husband’s mouth—each clip captures the authenticity of the day in a way that we will forever cherish.
You may not watch your wedding video everyday (nor will you look at your wedding photos everyday, I may add) but knowing that those irreplaceable moments are forever memorialized by Mike’s keen videography skills is more valuable than anything. We are forever grateful for Mike Lentz videography, and give his business our highest recommendation.
Mike was great to work with. He quickly responded to emails and answered all of the questions we had. He was very personable and met us for coffee before the big day to get to know us better as a couple. He did a great job in capturing all of the moments from our special day. We are greatly appreciative of him and highly recommend his videography services!
Mike was extremely professional and answered my questions, emails, and edits quickly and thoroughly. The process was easy and Mike provided extreme flexibility for me, even offering a different price just for footage. At the event, Mike blended in to the background and was able to catch all the key moments we asked for. The video quality is amazing. The video he edited was beautifully done. Mike’s cost of service is well worth it!! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for videography services.
Mike was absolutely incredible to work with. He was so responsive and ready to answer any questions we had. Mike did a fantastic job capturing so many moments from the wedding day - from candids with bridal party getting ready, to the formal ceremony, to the reception, and everything in between. Mike also worked with us to make sure we loved our video, and we are so grateful for his help on including our favorite moments. Highly recommend Mike for your big day!
We met Mike through his work at a friend’s wedding and were blown away by his product and overall style. We hired him for our own wedding on a bit of short notice and he was so eager to work with us to provide exactly the coverage we wanted. Everything went so smoothly and he worked seamlessly with our photographers to provide comprehensive coverage of our day for an excellent price. It's so clear he's dedicated to his craft and we knew the video would be beyond amazing! We were originally on the fence about having a videographer at all but we are so glad we decided to do it and that Mike was such a perfect fit. Would highly recommend him!
Mike was very attentive to our needs from our first meeting to his communication after our event! He was always prompt with his email responses and we got our videos back so much quicker than we expected! (Even before our photos). During our wedding he was diligent with getting all the important shots at the same time he blended in so we did not notice him much (which was what we wanted) . We were so happy with the final highlight video and longer cuts. Thank you Mike!
Having Mike capture our wedding day and moments from the weekend leading up to it was such a true gift. His camera’s presence on the day was so subtle, and yet gave us footage that feels personal and precious. My husband and I are so lucky to be able to look back at what Mike captured and see the things that made our day so perfect: a beautiful location, our loved ones having a blast, and the both of us drinking in the celebration. Mike is dynamite!
Hiring Mike to capture our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! Thanks to his creative eye and subtle presence with us throughout the day, we are able to relive the candid and intimate moments alongside the major highlights every time we review the video Mike thoughtfully produced for us. Mike is truly an artist. He is also fun to work with, inconspicuous and not at all distracting, and professional. AND he turned around the finished files incredibly promptly. We are so grateful to have worked with Mike, and we cannot recommend his videography services enough!
Mike was a pleasure to work with on our big day! He was able to beautifully capture the atmosphere of our wedding and produced it into a video that brings all the memories back. We were on the fence about having video in addition to photos, but we are so glad we have both types of media to remember our day.
Mike is incredibly professional, kind, and easy to be around. He used his amazing expertise to capture the essence of our wedding and who we are as a couple alongside our loved ones in our wedding video. He created a beautiful time capsule and succinct memory of our wedding in a video that I have watched over and over. It is a great way to remember that day and to share with loved ones who are unable to attend. Highly, highly recommend.
Mike was an amazing asset on our wedding day! He was thorough in capturing every moment that we can now look back on and cherish. Mike was easy to work with and laid back and as a videographer, he was there in a journalistic sense which was truly appreciated. He worked great with our photographers and produced a stunning video for us to look back at every year. I highly recommend Mike's work!
