Travis Monroe
Owner
Father. Husband. Quiet, creative type.
I love creating wedding videos because the pure happiness and joy that every couple experiences never gets old. I've always been enamored with capturing raw emotion. That's why I like to joke that I'm a wedding ninja; I like to work in the shadows. I don't do too much set-up or too many poses, because I want you to be you. I also will do everything I can to make sure your wedding day goes flawlessly. I've been known to fasten boutonnieres, hold babies and save ceremonies from audio troubles.

What can I say, Travis was easily one of our most efficient vendors that we worked with. He made the entire booking process easy and made sure that he knew what our expectations were.
I would easily recommend him to anyone and can't wait to see the final product.
Bonus: we also used his photo booth and AMAZING! Thanks Travis!

Travis was great to work with for our wedding videography. He was so easy to communicate with leading up to our wedding and helped ensure everything ran smoothly on our wedding day. He was very professional and made the video process so easy. He worked well with our other vendors, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a videographer! We absolutely love our final wedding videos!!

Monroe Film & Photo was great to work with! They scheduled consults, listened to every detail we asked for, and were on time to the venue. Jessica and Eric were great to work with on the day of the wedding and Travis was very responsive to my emails. The only negative I have is that it took a few weeks after our wedding just to get a few proofs to be able to post, but overall the final result of all the photos and videos was well worth the wait. I would definitely recommend Monroe Film & Photo!

We could not have been happier with how our videos turned out! Adam was super easy to work with during our wedding day and the video editing was great. High quality sounds/audio, multiple angles, and our "highlights" fill was exactly what we were looking for. Monroe was less expensive than many other options and the quality was fantastic, we would highly recommend them!

We are so happy with our videos!
Our videographer, Eric, captured many amazing details and interactions from the day that we would have otherwise missed or overlooked. He was so friendly all day long and gave us encouragement and compliments to help us feel more confident. He also did a great job of just capturing real moments as they were happening rather than staging or forcing anything.
The footage is all beautiful and so thoughtfully put together. We really love the music choices based on our recommendations, as well.
Travis and Eric really knocked everything out of the park. We are so, so happy with our videos and our decision to have Monroe Film & Photo capture our wedding day! Highly recommend them as a wedding videographer!

Could not be more happy to have Monroe Film + Photo as the videographer for our wedding. Travis was so great to work with leading up to the weeks before our wedding. Jordan was our videographer and made the day so easy, and captured everything perfectly. We love that we have full cuts of the ceremony, speeches and dances, as well as our compilation video. Can't wait to watch this for years to come!

Travis did my wedding in May of 2022 and I am so happy with our experience! From the start, his communication was top notch and he always answered my questions in a timely manner. He’s very friendly and during the day of the wedding he had a calm presence which helped this anxious bride tremendously! He captured absolutely everything I’d hoped for. Thank you Travis!

Wonderful, wonderful team to work with from a wedding planner. I just worked with Travis and Jessica on 2/10/23 and they were highly communicative, kind, and (most importantly) on time for every part of the day! Having a photography / videography team that knows how to really manage their time and the wedding party throughout the day is priceless. Looking forward to future events together!

We hired Travis for our August 22 wedding and my only regret is that I didn't book him for a longer time! He was so helpful throughout the entire planning process I had no doubts he would do a wonderful job. He had really great prompts that helped both my self and my husband (who is painfully uncomfortable in the spotlight) let loose, have fun, and capture some really beautiful moments. We had rain and severe weather most of our wedding day and he did an OUTSTANDING job watching the weather and helped us get in all of the shots for both photo and video we needed in the very few parts of the day there wasn't rain. Our highlight clip was unreal we've gotten so many compliments on it. He did such a great job editing and piecing the day together, it was really beautiful. You can tell he loves what he does because it truly shows in his work. We are so happy with our videos and would hire him again in a heartbeat!

We booked Monroe Film & Photo literally the week of our wedding and we had the absolute best experience! It took me awhile to get my husband on board with hiring a videographer for our big day and I am so glad I finally got him on board! (obviously - like I said - booked the WEEK OF THE WEDDING!!). Travis answered all of my questions and was more than accommodating to our needs. Alex was our videographer on the day of and he made us feel so comfortable and we had a great time with him. Every time we watch back our videos now, we can't help but cry and we are so thankful to have so many special moments on video! Highly recommend!

We made a last minute decision to hire and Videoographer, and we are so grateful for that choice. The groom was a bit worried having a camera filming would make the vibe feel different, but he was very happy with how everything went. Eric filmed our wedding and was wonderful to have. He worked really well with our photographer and made us feel normal and comfortable.

I've known Travis for years, and his hard work and talent showed itself in every aspect of our video. Beyond the quality of the product he produced for us the customer service was top notch. Having needed to postpone twice due to COVID-19, his flexibility to work with our new dates made us even more grateful to have worked with him. The man is very personable, professional, and will work before and after your event to deliver the best product he can.

I cannot recommend Monroe Film and Photo enough. Travis was amazing to work with and I am 100% obsessed with the video footage he put together of my wedding day. When interacting with Travis, he was personable, flexible, friendly, and fully committed to capturing everything from the wedding that we had asked him to. With that being said, there were times that I absolutely forgot he was there because he was so good at blending into the background to get truly organic footage. You can stop searching and book Travis for your videography needs knowing you have chosen someone amazing.

Look no further than Monroe Film & Photo! Travis was an absolute delight to work with, and we cannot recommend his work or him as a person enough.
Very professional yet down to earth, funny and respectful. After signing with him, my husband and I had 2 video call leading up to our wedding day so we could go over details/timeline of the day, what special/specific moments we needed him to catch, as well as getting to know each other. Travis had great chemistry with our photographer and the two worked seamlessly in capturing our wedding day together.
We selected the 'Feature Film' package and my goodness, was it worth every penny! We received our wedding video on the agreed upon time line and it was everything we could of asked for. The editing, shots, music, everything was amazing done and captured us as a couple to a 'T'. Along with the edited video of the entire day, we also got the original film of our wedding ceremony, speeches and our first dance.

Many people wondered why we got a videographer for our wedding and were judged for it but the look they got when we shared our video was worth every second and penny! I have watched them a thousand times already and can't wait to watch it while I age with my husband!! Highly recommend!!!!

Travis is an amazing videographer! He was very easy to work with and understanding when we had to postpone our 2020 wedding. During our golden hour photos, we appreciated his initiative in snagging a golf cart and working with our photographer to find the best views. Our wedding video was beautiful - we received many compliments from family and friends. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking to capture their special day!

Where to begin?! When I began planning my wedding, finding the right videographer was my #1 priority. I watched countless wedding videos from videographers near and far from me. Finally, I came across Monroe Film and Photo. The price was right, but more importantly, the style was too. I met Travis and was absolutely sold. He was amazing in both the lead up to and the day of the wedding. He was helpful, kind, responsive, and ended up delivering exactly what I asked for and more. Monroe Film and Photo went beyond my wildest expectations, and I can't wait to treasure and share these video memories with my loved ones forever. I cannot recommend Travis and his team enough!

After a late cancellation by our first videographer, we were so fortunate to be able to hire Travis for our October '20 wedding, and we couldn't have been happier! He was so kind and professional. We had a couple of phone/video calls with him before our wedding, and he made us feel so comfortable and prepared. We received our wedding footage about 2 months after our wedding, and are so pleased with it. Travis did an amazing job, and we are so lucky to have such a beautiful keepsake of our favorite day! Thank you Travis!

Our wedding date changed 3 times due to COVID, and our last change occurred less than 36 hours before our wedding date. We moved our wedding up a day in order to avoid the next statewide shut down and the videographer we previously hired wasn't able to change to our new date at such a short notice. Our coordinator at our venue recommended Monroe Film and Photo to us and we are so happy she did! We booked with Travis the night before our wedding. They did an amazing job capturing our day and our videos arrived within a very reasonable time. We are so happy with our decision and thank Travis and his team for their work!

We got some nighttime photos that are simply stunning! Everything was very reasonably priced too. I highly recommend Monroe Film and Photo.

Travis talked with me several times prior to my wedding to go over all the details, and to make sure that everything would go smoothly. He showed up on time, was professional, personable, and overall a pleasure to be around. Guys! The final product was absolutely amazing! He was so thoughtful with how he constructed the overall video, and it was clear that he spent a ton of time strategically putting it all together. He captured all the right moments and I’m so thankful that I went with Monroe Film and Photo to capture my day. I have seen a ton of wedding videos and I am telling you, that this company is absolutely the best!

Travis was wonderful to work with - professional, flexible and responsible while filming our summer wedding in Madison, WI. We really didn't have ideas of what we wanted beyond the major moments of the ceremony, but that didn't matter: Travis had great ideas and gave advice on things to really think about in terms of getting video of our day. Travis captured moments that we didn't realize happened and had great shots and pictures from our day that we still get to relive through our DVD and digital copies. We would hire him again to film any event in a heartbeat.

We are so glad we chose to have videography for our wedding, and we could not have made a better choice than Monroe Film & Photo. They were such a great find. They offer better packages than many other companies in the area. Communication was great throughout the planning process. I sat down with James for coffee a couple of weeks before the wedding, and we had a great conversation about who my husband and I are as individuals and a couple, what we envisioned for our day, and what special details we wanted to highlight on video. He had so many great ideas, and talking with him made me even more excited for the big day. The week of the wedding, we received an e-mail that they had had a schedule change, and we were offered a free upgrade to two videographers (James and Travis)! They both were so great the day of the wedding. They captured everything without getting in the way. I am fairly certain they stayed even longer than scheduled. We received all of our videos (first look, full ceremony, wedding party entrance into the reception, speeches, first dances, and a highlight video) on a USB in the mail fairly quickly after the wedding. I was blown away. I was covered in happy tears by the end of viewing all of it. Being able to relive our first look is absolutely priceless, and that segment alone is well worth the price we paid. Video captures a lot that photos cannot from a day that means so much but goes by too fast. My advice is for every couple to have a wedding videographer, and I strongly recommend Monroe Film & Photo!

We're so happy we booked Travis at Monroe Film and Photo as our videographer! He was easy to coordinate with, asked all the right questions to make sure we would get everything we were hoping for in our videos, and was a pleasure to have around on the big day. Our trailer video was BEAUTIFUL and exactly what I wanted to help us remember the day. Our family and friends were very complimentary of the edit, song selection, voiceovers from toasts, etc. Based on some of the prices I saw when initially searching for a videographer, I'm convinced we found the best value in the twin cities!

Together they captured exactly what we were looking for! Such a wonderful experience working with both James and Travis! I highly recommend either of them for any event!!

We are so glad we chose to have videography for our wedding, and we could not have made a better choice than Mediamazing. We were initially not going to have a videographer. Costs certainly build up during wedding planning, and it did not seem like a necessary expense. After reading many posts on various websites from couples who either loved their wedding videos or regretted not having them, we decided to include videography in the budget. Mediamazing was such a great find. They offer better packages than many other companies in the area. Communication was great throughout the planning process. I sat down with James for coffee a couple of weeks before the wedding, and we had a great conversation about who my husband and I are as individuals and a couple, what we envisioned for our day, and what special details we wanted to highlight on video. He had so many great ideas, and talking with him made me even more excited for the big day.
