We loved looking at our highlight. A lot of compliments
from my friends and family when the highlight went on facebook. The church was strict but the 3 cameras at the ceremony made it work. The picture was very clear. The smooth moving camera shots through the reception made me feel like I was there again.

My husband and i did not want a big wedding so we had our wedding with only a few friends and family for an intimate farm wedding. This was only 4 hours total. Milestone fit the bill for us.. They had a great price on 4 hours of coverage and covered both photo and video. Dave did a great job posing us and getting all the family shot ad the videographer got a great shot of the dove release. All of the photos and videos were on convienient USB drives which made enjoying them easier.. We would love to recommend Milestone!!

Out of the many, many photographers we interviewed, Milestone was the only one that me and my wife agreed on right away. To start off, Bob provided excellent customer service, He was courteous, informative and responded very quickly to phone calls and emails. He would inform us without being annoying about he time-table and when we would get our photos. We never had to call him and ask him what's going. Secondly, he always made sure that we would look good in the shot. He would tell us if something was wrong that we could correct it immediately without being bothersome. Also he made sure that we got every photo he took which was very important to my wife. He was there early and was everywhere taking photos and video. Even now I don't know how he was able to be in so many places at once. I had a medium sized wedding (approx 250 people) and he was able to take photos of everyone having fun after the dinner. If I have another formal event, Milestone Photo will be the first person I would call. Lastly, I have to say I like the fact that he has his prices on the website, so I knew I wasn't looking at someone out of my budget. Plus he has so many pictures of weddings on his website including ones of my reception place (awesome!!!) That in itself was a selling point because we knew he knew the location and would know the best place to take pictures. If you are looking for the best photography company for your wedding. Milestone is it.

Milestone did a great job on our wedding video.. They were one of the few companies that are willing to use popular music in the wedding video.. The video was classically done with great shots like a movie.. Our whole family enjoys watching the video over and over again!!

Jeff and Bob (Photographer) were wonderful to work with! They worked together well as a team, were able to capture each moment through a candid yet spectacular lens (especially key moments of our wedding). They were a pleasure to have at our wedding; They were hard working and time efficient the whole night. We even had all of our post ceremony pictures done before a huge rainstorm came during the reception! My husband and I highly recommend Milestone!

The folks at Milestone Photo and video did a great job capturing our wedding last September. Bob Did a great job on the engagement photo and had guests sign in on the wedding day. They provided over 2400 great photos on a USB. The video turned out amazing. All the best moments were captured creatively and tastefully. Dave did a great job on the video and we have some great memories on tape to keep forever! We would not hesitate to recommend Milestone photo and video!

Milestone was great! Our video is almost 3 hours long and they added all the best parts. We also picked our music and were very happy with how it was edited. I highly recommend the highlights video which was extra but it was 4 mins long and we were able to share it on facebook.

Milestone did a great job on the photo and video for my wedding... They were good about responding to emails and my concerns... They showed up on time and got all the required shots creatively. They even made sure to get shots of my grandfather before the ceremony because she had to go to home early. Our engagement photos turned out fabulous and I would recommend them to all of my friends... The video is very creatively done with music of our choosing. I would recommend milestone video as well

Milestone did a wonderful job for ALL of our picture and video needs. They did our engagement photo shoot, wedding pictures and video, our picture with guests to sign for the "guest book", and created our wedding album. THEY DO IT ALL. We are so happy with the way everything turned out. Thank you again!

We selected Milestone on a recommendation from a friend who used them.. The were really personable and they got the video edited rather quickly. The sound was really clear and the different angles during the ceremony enabled us to see our ceremony like we could not have in any other way. We selected a USB instead of a Blu-ray and it plays right on our Flat screen TV.. We really cherish our wedding video from Milestone.. We would recommend them again any tine

Milestone Photo and Video did an amazing job capturing our wedding day! We are happy that we entrusted our priceless wedding photos and video to their capable hands. Bob and Joe were wonderful and easy to work with. Bob worked tirelessly to deliver creative and beautiful photos and video. We are grateful that he provided over 1600 photos! We can share our favorites with family and friends via social media and Shutterfly. We also treasure our wedding video which will allow us to relive our beautiful day for years to come. It captured my transition from bride-to-be to bride, a special message from my groom, our ceremony, all of the important events of the day and the crazy fun dancing we would have missed if a video hadn’t been available. We highly recommend Milestone Photo and Video!

Milestone was absolutely amazing!! I was thrilled with our wedding video!! It's like being at our wedding all over again. Dave did a fantastic job, he granted all of our requests, was very professional and you barely even knew he was there. I love our highlight video, I have shown it to nearly everyone I know. I would highly recommend Milestone for videography for your wedding!!

My husband and I are very pleased with the beautiful job that Milestone Video put together. They were on time the day of our wedding followed instructions and went above and beyond to make that day very special for us. I can't thank them enough. Watching our video couple of days ago put tiers on my eyes, not only because of the special day but all the beautiful moments that Milestone had captured, knowing that it was definitely not an easy job because the wedding was in a different language and so many traditions that you don't see everyday. I recommend them to anyone who wants to go back to their wedding day and feel that just happened. I will use Milestone in the future again. Wishing Milestone best of luck and keep up the amazing work.

Bob Busch from Milestone was the videographer at my June 20, 2015 wedding in Crown Point, Indiana. He was EVERYWHERE and covered EVERYTHING! Not only that, but he was so creative and made an amazing video highlight movie to music that was as good as any video I have ever seen. Not to mention, he is super nice and easy to work with. He is better than vendors twice his price. PERFECT!

We spent a great deal of time researching photo/video packages after we got engaged. After meeting with Bob, we were able to rest easy. His output was amazing, and you really see where your money goes. We are able to keep and reprint the over 3500 photos he took on our wedding day. We also were able to receive a fast turn around in service.

Photography, Videography FANTASTIC! Bob and Dave were absolutely amazing. I received my pictures within 45 days. They were busy with other weddings, but when I called they made sure they gave me 100% at all times. One day I called and he was getting ready for a wedding and he still took time to make sure my questions were answered. My pictures were gorgeous, I had 2536 of them, you cannot beat that! the price was amazing also, I want to say this. Bob called and introduced himself to me and gave me a background of the company. when we spoke he made sure he got to know me. I received calls from other companies and it was not a personal conversation it was prices and that is it!!! Bob is amazing and everyone at my wedding is still talking about him. I would recommend him to anyone if i could. Milestone, should be your #1 choice for your wedding. you can check out my photos on my facebook shellriece parker!! He was amazing. THANK YOU BOB AND DAVE!!! YOU MADE MY WEDDING AWESOME!!

Milestone Photo and Video exceeded my expectations with their creativity. Bob had lots of ideas for how to make the videos and photos truly special! They did photography and videography, giving me lasting mementos. They also produced photo montages which were beautiful and fun, and not sappy, as I feared they would be. I have used less-experienced photographers and videographers and really see the difference. Milestone is top-notch. They are also great at an event - they make the guests feel very comfortable. Milestone has the equipment and editing expertise of the corporate world and the friendly, creative, truly helpful skills of the social world. I will use them again if I have the chance!

Bob and Dave were great. We got the cd of the pics and video of our wedding in a very short time. They took a total of 2300 photos, which is more than we expected. It helps us get the perfect shot for the album. I highly recommend Bob and Dave and am sure we will use them for annual family photos.
