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.
