We are so happy that we hired Jeff and Craig to capture our special day. They were easy to work with and communicate with. We never once felt like we were being recorded. We felt completely comfortable all day. Craig was fun to work with and very professional. We loved our teaser video. Their choice of music was perfect. We just got our final videos last week. We love them!!! It was so amazing to relive that day and see all the little things that we missed. We definitely recommend using a videographer for your wedding. Jeff and Craig exceeded all of our expectations. Thanks again!!!
We could not have asked for a better experience with Jeff and Montage Media for our wedding this past September! From the first call to discuss their videography style and answer any questions we had, to the day of our wedding, we had only had positive experiences.
The day of our wedding was a little chaotic in terms of coordination and timing. Jeff and our photographer stepped up and made sure things still went smoothly, all with a positive attitude and calm demeanor.
I cannot reiterate how beautiful and special our wedding video is, and how perfectly our day was captured. We will be able to relive our special day forever and we are so thankful for that!
One more shoutout that I cannot get over - we had asked Jeff about incorporating a special song into our video, but understood if it wasn't possible due to several factors. He surprised us with the song once he delivered the video and it absolutely melted our hearts and meant so much to us!!
We cannot recommend Jeff and Montage Media enough, and will recommend them to everyone we know for all videography in the future!!
I just wanted to reach out and thank you for the absolutely amazing videoooooo!!! We are totally in love with itttt!!! I couldn’t have asked for better! The experience w/ you guys on the day, and holy moly, the final product!!! Truly amazing!!! Worth every pennyyyy! Thank you again so much for everything!!! I will be raving about you and montage media until the day I die!!! Thank you for allowing us to be able to relive our day forever!
Any questions?
I was referred to Jeff by several people, including family and coworkers. But after hiring Jeff, I was nothing short of amazed by his professionalism, attention to detail, and the magic he can work behind the scenes of the camera. I was so glad that we hired him to capture our wedding day, while photos are great - he really did make the day come to life through his exceptional video skills and storytelling.
150% recommend them! Even if you're on the fence about hiring a videographer - don't be, and don't look any further; Jeff is your guy!
As a wedding photographer myself, I started planning my wedding pretty set on what venders I wanted to hire for my own big day. Montage Media was the NUMBER ONE vender I wanted to make sure I had booked! I literally planned my wedding around them because wedding videography literally does NOT get better than what they offer! I could not be more happy with our videos. The quality is unbelievable. Jeff captured every special moment of our day and even moments I forget happened! They go above and beyond for their clients and are passionate about their craft.
BOOK NOW! Montage Media is phenomenal! They shot our dream wedding at Castle Farms in Charlevoix, MI; and captured the most intimate, special, and memorable moments from the day. Their work is breathtaking! Myself, husband, wedding party, and guests felt so comfortable and special working with them. They are professional and truly experts at their craft. We received our videos back in excellent time, a month from the wedding. We will cherish our videos for the rest of our lives. Thank you Montage Media.
What a talent Montage Media has! Simply incredible. My husband was particularly worried about being mic’d up and videoed for some of our more private moments (first look, vows, etc.) but they were able to capture those moments in such a noninvasive way - we truly forgot they were there (in the best way possible!) Everything from the sneak peek to the highlight video to the ceremony coverage was executed perfectly. They picked up on aspects of the wedding that may have been unnoticed by some but that were most important to us and ensured they were incorporated into the video. We can’t thank them enough for creating a keepsake that we will watch for the rest of our lives. I will say it a million times over, find a way to get Montage Media at your wedding - you won’t regret it!
We had the pleasure of working with Jeff to capture our wedding in Bay Harbor, MI this past June and were impressed throughout the process. He took the time before to listen to our preferences and answer all our questions so we felt prepared heading into the big day. He worked seamlessly with our photographer and made sure we were comfortable with being on camera when we recited our private vows. Although we only hired Jeff, he was able to set up multiple camera angles for our ceremony and speeches so that it captured all reactions and incorporated the different viewpoints into our video. His drone footage was incredible and really made the video feel high quality. Overall, I'd say Jeff was extremely pleasant to work with and really showed that he cares about what he does. The final video was everything that we hoped for! We've watched it on a loop ever since receiving it, and it really is so special. Big thanks for Jeff and Montage media!

Thank you Alex! Your day was so fun!
Montage Media Films went above and beyond in multiple ways to make our wedding video dreams come true! We knew we wanted to work with them after they had done an incredible job on my sister's video a few years back, and are a ton of fun to be around!! They flew all the way to Colorado to film our ski wedding. We had to change the plan due to weather and they jumped on board and had everything under control to video the day before the actual wedding. They were so enthusiastic and had a plan for the last second skiing. The day of the wedding they were there to help in ways beyond what a videographer would normally do and along with our photographer kept a chaotic day running smoothly! They had both our sneak peak and actual video ready extremely quickly. Both brought us to tears and allowed us to relive the entire day over and over. They are incredible at capturing the emotion of your day and put it all together perfectly in their videos. I would 100% recommend Montage Media to anyone getting married or doing an event - they are the absolute best at what they do and we couldn't be more grateful for the work that they did for us!
Craig did such an incredible job capturing our day! We are absolutely thrilled with how beautiful the highlight video turned out. It’s amazing to relive the day over again and see all the happiness and love. This was the best experience and we highly recommend Montage Media!
We are so glad we decided to hire Jeff to record our big day. We were on the fence about hiring a videographer, and it was absolutely money well spent. His creativity and professionalism were on full display throughout the process, and he was very easy to work with. The final product was a series of videos that we will cherish forever.

Thank you Brian!
Montage media was absolutely amazing. Jeff worked with us every step of the way and did not disappoint at all! The videos were amazing and exceeded all expectations. Everyone at our wedding who had the chance to talk to Jeff also had nothing but compliments and great things to say about him. He captured our day perfectly!
Montage Media is the BEST of the BEST. First of all, their team is amazing to work with from start to finish. They made my husband and I feel so comfortable filming on our wedding day - zero awkwardness and pure fun. When it comes to their work, I've never seen a wedding video captured with such quality. Our video literally looks like a motion picture- all of our friends and family members were amazed. They are 10/10 and if I did it all over again, it would be Montage!!!
Montage Media Film (specifically, Jeff and his assistant) helped turn our wedding dream into a reality! Jeff was super friendly and professional throughout the whole wedding day and truly captured incredible moments. He worked with ease alongside our photographer (Anna from Dan Stewart Photography) and was able to blend in seamlessly with our guests to the point where we didn't even notice him filming at many points. The final products were near film quality and the drone shots over the hotel and Little Traverse Bay were absolutely breathtaking. We certainly would recommend Montage Media Films for anyone with a wedding in Michigan, as we will definitely be rewatching our videos for many, many years to come.
It has taken me so long to write this review because I am still in awe with the amazing work done by Montage Media!!! Jeff and Joe were both amazing to work with. They went above and beyond to accommodate our requests and make us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Jeff talked with us many times before the big day and help make a plan to capture all the perfect moments from our wedding. His hard work paid off as the footage is AMAZING and beyond what I could have even imagined. I am so obsessed with our wedding film, that I keep watching it over and over again. I feel that the film is one of the most special things I have from the wedding day! I would HIGHLY recommend booking them for your big day!!
Montage Media did such an incredible job on our wedding day videos. Our highlight video has been the best way to reminisce on the best day of our lives. Jeff took all of the criteria we were looking for and shaped it into our ideal wedding video. He's also super personable and adds a great vibe to wedding day (: I highly recommend booking Montage Media for your wedding!
I 100% recommend using Montage Media for your wedding videography. From the very start of the process, Jeff was a pivotal part of my day. He was extremely easy to work with while also giving bits of advice that proved to be invaluable. He was never pushy yet made sure we were getting the shots that we were paying him for. Our videos turned out better than we ever could have expected!
Absolutely loved working with Montage Media Films! Craig and his team were so fun to work with on our big day and really made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. They captured so many amazing clips that I'm so happy to have to look back on.
The highlight video turned out STUNNING and my family and my husband & I are obsessed with it. So fun and beautiful and makes me tear up every time. Their videography skills are unmatched! If you have the opportunity to work with them, don't wait!!
An absolute must for your wedding day! Video truly helps capture and relive the special moment and Craig and his team made the day so easy and fun to shoot. They also took the time to meet with me before the big day to discuss our vision and timeline and the final video was exactly what we hoped for! Professional, high-end, and great people to work with! Highly recommend!
My husband and I loved working with Montage Media Films! Jeff was so personable and we loved having a video chat with him prior to our big day. He took time to hear what we prioritized, shared his professional opinions and worked with our budget.
I am obsessed with the actual footage that we have received from Montage Media Films! It brings us right back to that special day and they truly captured everything into our highlight. I would recommend them 10/10 times to anyone!!
Jeff with Montage Media Films did an outstanding job with the videos of our wedding! He was very easy to work with, listened to our requests, and produced fabulous videos highlighting all the details of our wedding. We highly recommend Montage Media Films if you are looking for an excellent videographer for your wedding!
Montage Media was, hands down, the best money we spent on our wedding. Jeff's personality is sweet, comfortable to be around, fun, uplifting...the list goes on. I don't think my (now) husband and I made it easy on him, either -- neither of us are very comfortable in front of a camera; and somehow still, the video they made from our wedding day is STUNNING. If I could do the day over and over again, I'd hire them without hesitation every time. This will be something (probably the #1 thing) that we cherish from a day that always goes by way too fast. I have watched it countless times already -- it will never get old. Jeff and Montage Media -- thank you for making us feel so special, important, and seen on our most important day. You are a truly gifted team.

Thank you Christina! We loved working with you on your wedding day!
If I could give this 100 stars I would! Jeff is so unbelievably talented, and he makes it seem effortless. Our wedding video was everything we could have ever wanted, and I wouldn’t have changed a single thing!!! Jeff was so easy to work with, and he collaborated so well with the other vendors, especially our photographers. I couldn’t recommend him more!!
Like many couples, we weren't sure if we needed a videographer at our wedding - and after working with Craig we are SO happy we decided to. Not only was the final product completely worth it, but he made the experience for us and our bridal party so fun. He caught moments photography can't and had the best attitude while doing so. We were the type of couple that didn't want anything too cheesy or posed, and he was perfect for this vibe. Also, the turn around was so quick - it was so fun to post our teaser on social media so soon after the wedding! Can't say enough great things about our experience with Montage.
Jeff and his crew was absolutely outstanding. He was maintaining excellent communication with us on the weeks leading to the wedding, he was professional with us during the wedding and he was open minded to our vision. Aside from being an excellent videographer, it is very clear that he has been doing this for a long time and is well aware of the nuances of capturing the emotions and experiences of our wedding. To this day we watch our video frequently with a big smile on our faces.
Beyond being an amazing ‘vendor’. We enjoyed his company and approachability to the point that we considered them guests at our wedding.
Thank you Montage Media Films, 10/10, would definitely hire again for future events.
Do you want a video of the best day ever that will make you laugh and bring a tear to your eye all within a minute?! Look no farther! You just stumbles onto the BEST TEAM EVER! Don’t even question it, just book Montage Media now!
From start to finish Jeff is amazing to work with! He even helped on the time management and putting together a time frame, since we are a “wait till the last minute” kind of couple.
On the day of they were prompt on arrival and worked closely with our photographer to get the picture perfect scenes that you will reflect on and cherish for a life time. Most of the time you don’t even know Jeff and his team are there! They work seamlessly with your vendors and guest to catch all the best shots and when you look back you will be astounded by things you would have never seen without the video!
Now the video… where to begin?! If you ever wanted to be an actress or just the “star” of the show Jeff and his team make it a reality! We have been told by our guests and we couldn’t agree more but our wedding video looks like it belongs on the big screen! It even has the whole Hollywood cinematic feel!
Believe me when I say you can not go wrong with hiring Montage Media for your big day. So send the message now and get on their books because you won’t regret it for one second!

Chelsi!!!! Wow!! Thank you for the amazing review!
My experience with Montage Media was amazing! I cannot express enough how professional and supportive they were on the day of my wedding. Their past experience at my venue helped make my day run very smoothly. We had some issues with the weather causing me to make a last minute decision of having an indoor or outdoor ceremony and Jeff made me feel so confident with my decision of keeping it outdoor and they captured the fall colors perfectly and the rain held off! Jeff and the team made everyone in my family and wedding party feel so comfortable being captured. They worked with my photographer extremely well, helping her find the best spots to capture everything perfectly. I picked the package that comes with the memory book that displays my wedding on the screen when you open it and my husband and I love it and will cherish it forever. I haven’t seen any other company offer something so special and it was definitely a huge factor as to why we chose Montage Media. Wedding days go extremely fast and with everything going on it can be hard to be in the moment, and having this video of our most special day, captured so well, is something we are eternally greatly for. Do not hesitate to book Montage Media!
Do your future self a favor and HIRE MONTAGE MEDIA!
Montage media was recommended to me by a colleague. They were the first vendor we booked after finding our wedding venue and we are so grateful we did. We knew from the minute we met Jeff that we were in good hands and going to have the best day. They made my husband and I feel so comfortable on our wedding day, we truly could not recommend them more. Our guests had rave reviews about them and by the end of the day, they felt like part of the family. Jeff and his team had the best recommendations to ensure we got all the shots we wanted. Our wedding recap videos seem like they are out of a movie. The quality is better than anything I have ever seen. Our family and friends are blown away and have commented multiple times about it. The drone shots were incredible and such a nice add-on. Jeff had a sneak peek video within 48 hours for us, UNREAL!!!
Our wedding videos are the most prized possession from our wedding. Montage Media is worth every penny and we would book them again in a heartbeat!
Thank you so much Montage Media!!!

I knew the video was going to be amazing after seeing other wedding videos this team has put together and even with that previous history in mind I was still blown away. One look at the video the guys at Montage Media put together for my daughter’s wedding and I knew I had made the right decision choosing them to put together this memory of our family’s special day. My daughter called when she got the video and was crying tears of joy reliving her wedding day (dad may have if shed a few tears of joy again too). I would definitely recommend Montage Media Films to anyone looking for a team to capture their special day on film too. You will definitely not be disappointed and will be able to relive that moment with your family over and over for years to come. Over and above my expectations for sure thank you so much!
Where do we even begin to say how wonderful it was to have Jeff and his team to do our wedding video. James and I were trying to save money for my parents and were originally not going to have a videographer. But after my parents watching a few of the videos, they decided to bite the bullet and have Montage Media Films do our video. We have know Jeff for a long time and saw the great work he put out, so we knew our video would be great. Not only was it great, it was beyond what we could have asked for. The music, the shots that were chosen, his recommendation that we read each other letters made what we originally thought we couldn't have a dream come true. I cried many times at the wedding because of how overjoyed I was, but the moments that we captured of our big day by their team made it a million times better. Jeff made something that we will treasure in our hearts forever and I couldn't be more grateful that him and his team does this for couples like us. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a videographer and even to people that might be second guessing if it is even worth it. Our video is priceless and we would do it all over again in a heartbeat. Thank you from our family and from James and I. We love our video and are so grateful for all you do. Grateful, thankful and blessed. If anyone is second guessing a wedding video, please do the video. Ours is beyond perfect and priceless. I cant thank Jeff Bass and his team enough. Thank you for being a part of our special day and for the beyond perfect video. We love it so much! ❤️
Jeff did an amazing job as our videographer for our wedding at our farm! The video captured the best moments and we love that we get to relive the moments!
How lucky were we to find Jeff, Joe, and the entire Montage Media team to capture our wedding. To start the planning process, I did not think we would need/want a video; I could not have been more wrong! About eight months before the big day, I realized we couldn't miss the opportunity to have our day on film, and started the search for a team. As with all other aspects of our day, I quickly knew I wanted to find a team that could not only capture our day, but could also bring to life the beauty of Leelanau County with drone footage. With recommendations by both our friends (2021 clients of Montage) and our planning team, we were introduced to Jeff and the Montage team and we never looked back!
From our initial conversation, Jeff was so easy to talk to and really could envision out loud everything that was in my head. We talked through what I thought I would want from a video and ideas we had already worked through with our Photographer for the day's events. Jeff was then able to take those and helped us make them even better! It helped so much that his book of work already captured so much of what I was looking for in terms of story and drone footage. Being a Northern Michigan local, he knew exactly how to capture what I was looking for with both scenes from my home as we got ready as well as footage above while we got married on the top of the hill at the Homestead. He even helped us come up with reading our letters aloud to each other during our first look which became such a memorable time for my Husband and I to share our vows, just between us.
Then, within only a month, we were gifted our most cherished piece from the day, the final video. It was far more perfect than anything we could have imagined. It was so light and fun, just as our day was, but captured every detail and feeling that was felt on that day. It is how we will always remember this day and we are so grateful for the pure movie magic Jeff and Joe were able to capture. We feel so lucky to have worked with the Montage team and could not thank them enough for creating such a work of art for our day!

Lauren, WOW! Thank you for writing such an in depth review on your experience. I know this must have taken a long time and I am so grateful! Happy new year!
Jeff
Jeff & the Montage Media Films team were absolutely INCREDIBLE to work with for our intimate elopement. He was collaborative and flexible with pivoting our initial plans to account for inclement weather and optimized each moment of the day with extraordinary talent and creativity, which added so many gorgeous details to our stunning video. His personality, can-do attitude, and warmth made it a joy to have him part of our day. And the highlight video-- WOW! We are beyond impressed and have watched it dozens of times, always with laughter, tears, and pure delight. Thank you, Jeff, for capturing our day and creating such a treasure for us to share and enjoy in the years to come. We are 1000% happy with our decision to work with Jeff & Montage Media!
Jeff & his team were amazing to work with. They made us feel so comfortable the day of our wedding and the video is absolutely perfect. Could not recommend Montage Media Films enough!!
Jeff and his team were BEYOND AMAZING. We didn’t meet until the day of, but they were so comfortable to work with, and even understood my husbands goofy humor. Jeff and his team were so nice, made us feel comfortable, and then for most of the night we didn’t even notice they were there. They got so many awesome shots and didn’t get in the way of our guests dancing the night away.
Then when we got our videos we were blown away. My husband finally agreed that a videographer was worth the money. There were so many special moments that we either forgot or didn’t see because the day was so busy. The way he cut everything it is like a feature film.
I picked Montage Media before because I found myself getting lost in the wedding videos of people I didn’t know. Now having our own videos produced by them, I feel so special and honored to have such a high quality keepsake of our special day.
Response from the Vendor on 12/02/2022
Thank you so much Jenna! Your review is amazing!
All I can say is WOW! Montage Media (Craig) exceeded our expectations. He captured all of the special moments of my daughter's wedding and packaged it up perfectly for our family to remember for a lifetime. Craig was professional, fun and blended in to the festivities while capturing the wonderful energy and love at the ceremony and reception. If you're looking for the best to capture your special occasion, look no further. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING JOB, I promise you will be thrilled!
Words really can't describe just how impressed and happy I was with Montage Media Films. My wedding video is incredible and exactly what I envisioned and more. Being a professional creative myself, I was afraid I'd be picky about what was captured or music selected, but Jeff nailed it. They captured details that made the story of our day that much more emotional. It was a stretch for us to financially to pick Montage Media, but I knew they would be worth it and I was totally right. We will cherish these videos so much. I cry and feel way more emotion watching this than looking at my wedding photos. I highly recommend anyone who wants a quality to book them. You will not regret it! They were so kind, cool, and awesome to work with.
My husband and I hired Montage Media for our wedding video, and what they produced for us is honestly on par with a short film! They condensed so much love and emotion into one video - it has everything - all of our favorite people, laughs, tears, dancing, and so much more. We were simply speechless watching our video for the first time. It was like reliving the day all over again, except with so many more angles and perspectives. The artistry and production value are SO HIGH, too. The audio is crystal clear, the shots are balanced, framed beautifully, the pacing is exciting and thrilling. I used to work in broadcast production and I can tell you from experience their vision and technical skillsets are extraordinarily rare! Many say they can shoot video but not everyone can craft such a beautiful story. Jeff and his team are true storytellers. Jeff and his second shooter Joe operated seamlessly and unintrusively on the day of the wedding. Jeff was so kind and went out of his way to meet and talk with us during the wedding planning stages to make sure everything went smoothly, and it did. I could go on and on...but my one advice to any new couple? Hire Montage Media ASAP. Our wedding video is priceless to me, and I am so thankful we have this to treasure for the rest of our lives. Thank you, Jeff and Joe!
Craig is the consummate pro and we had so much fun working with him on our wedding day! The team meshed seamlessly with our photographers, which helped everything run smoothly. After such an amazing wedding day, we were pleasantly surprised to receive the teaser the very next day(!!). Even in a 60 second clip, it was evident Craig had listened to every important detail we had shared with him pre-wedding. The final product was out of this world!!! We're so grateful to have had them at our wedding and would absolutely recommend them for your special day!
I cannot recommend Montage Media enough for any and all videographer needs. I worked with them for my wedding and they were nothing but professional, timely, nice and made the day so much fun. They returned our full video back in just a couple of weeks and it was exceptional and so well done. You will not regret booking them!
Montage Media Films was so awesome to work with for our wedding video!!! The videos Montage Media made for us are something that my husband and I will cherish forever. We also got our videos back even sooner than expected which was so appreciated!
On top of loving the content, Jeff was so personable and amazing to work with. He made my whole bridal party feel so comfortable in front of the camera and got all the best shots. He also worked with me for an extra long day since I really wanted our sparkler send off on film, and surprised my husband and I with a teaser video at the end of the night that they played in front of all our guests that were still there. It was so so special.
I could not recommend them more, truly! I would give 6/5 stars if I could.
Thank you Jeff and team for everything!!!
Jeff, Craig, and their team were absolutely amazing to work with. I would highly recommend them for your special day! It was so cool seeing our sneak peek right after our wedding day and the full length video stole our hearts as well! We love watching our videos so much, it’s truly such a special memory from our day!
Most of my family and friends who have watched our wedding video have told me that they have watched it repeatedly and cry every time they watch it. The video is beautiful, artsy, personal, and unique. Not only are we SUPER happy with the final product, but Jeff was amazing to work with on the big day! He got everyone excited and really knew how to prompt us to get the amazing shots. Also, if you have a venue in a beautiful setting it is key to have Jeff's drone shots to capture the scenery.
Jeff & the Montage Media Films crew exceeded our expectations. From the very start, Jeff was extremely responsive and proactive in getting all of our wedding details nailed down. We knew going into this that Jeff is an expert and when he had to pivot and get creative when bad weather threw off wedding day plans, his cleverness and experience really showed as he was not phased. In fact, the clips/shots/videos he delivered as the final products were truly spectacular. Lastly, we took advantage of the second shooter option which was extremely worth it. It allowed for so much more flexibility and so much additional footage. Being able to relive the entire wedding day was made possible by Montage and we cannot recommend them enough. Amazing experience.

Thank you Maddy! We loved capturing your day!
If you don't book Montage, you're going to regret it. I first was introduced to Montage Media when they filmed my brother's wedding in 2019. To this day, whenever I watch their wedding video I still cry. It was right then I decided I would be booking them for my wedding as well, whenever that was going to happen. I've kept their information for three years and they were the first vendor I booked when I found my venue and date.
Jeff was amazing. He was prompt, professional, funny, and so fun to work with. He captured some incredible shots and even sent us a sneak peek shot clip less than 24 hours after our wedding. I think he was just as excited about some of his shots as we were. Even the short 60 second clip he sent looked like a cinematic preview for a real movie.
I cannot stress this enough, BOOK MONTAGE!
Montage Media was terrific! Craig left me speechless when he sent the "teaser video" the day after the wedding. He quietly captured so many amazing moments. As the mother of the bride, I can say without question that I am so grateful we met Craig. The day went so quickly and he gave us the gift of reliving and enjoying the wedding all over again.
As a fellow wedding videographer, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Montage Media Films for your big day! Jeff was super easy to work with throughout the whole process, and the final product was amazing. He makes you feel comfortable on camera and captures all the important moments flawlessly. Jeff did a great job telling our love story by weaving audio from our vows and speeches into the film, and he has an eye for composition and artistic shots. We are grateful to have an amazing film to look back on for many years to come. Thank you Montage Media!
Working with Montage was hands down the best decision we made in our wedding planning process. We did a ton of research into wedding videographers prior to our wedding, and these guys are some of the most talented and professional in Michigan. Not to mention, they are genuinely kind and incredibly fun to be around! As many couples say, your wedding day truly goes by SO fast and we can't imagine not having our video to relive the day. Montage did an incredible job capturing and incorporating the big and small moments that made our day unique to us, and that we otherwise may have forgotten! It is evident that they put a ton of thoughtfulness and effort into their videos. We can't recommend Montage enough!!
WOW! We don't even know truly where to begin. Montage is simply INCREDIBLE and one of the best decision we made for our wedding. The team was extremely responsive before, during and after our special day. They took a considerable amount of time to learn what was most important to us and captured each moment so beautifully in our highlight video. During our wedding, they worked seamlessly with our other vendors and we didn't even notice they were filming. When we watched the video, we were in tears and I personally have watched our highlight what seems like 1 million times! There were moments captured that we didn't even recall - making it even more special. Our beautiful videos and these memories will be cherished forever! Highly recommend this team to any bride and groom - it will be one of the best decisions made. Thank you Montage.
I am not sure where to even start! Jeff was absolutely amazing to work with. From start to finish I have never seen things go so flawless with a vendor! His professionalism and ability to capture our special day takes true talent.
Thank you, we are forever grateful!
Jeff and his team were awesome to work with, I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a videographer for their wedding! From the start they made us feel very comfortable and were a lot of fun to work with. We just received our video back from them and it's amazing! They got so many perfect shots and really helped us to relive our entire wedding day and create a memory we will have forever. If you're looking for a wedding videographer I would definitely recommend choosing Montage Media!

Thank you Ashley!
We were so thrilled to work with Jeff from Montage Media! He and his company came highly recommended from our photographers and we were so pleased to used him.
Jeff was a clear communicator from the beginning and got back to us quickly when we had questions. On the day of, he was prompt, professional, and got some amazing footage. He was easy to work with and friendly.
We are in LOVE with our beautiful video Jeff put together of our wedding day. It was so special to hear the speeches and see all of the incredible footage and creative shots captured on our special day.
We could not be happier with how everything turned out and would absolutely recommend Montage Media to anyone looking for a videographer. Worth every penny!

Thank you Emily! We had a blast at your wedding!
If you do anything for your wedding, hire Montage Media Films for your videographers!!! Out of all of our vendors, Craig was our favorite to work with by far. He was super responsive throughout the whole planning process, made us feel very special on our day, and kept everyone on track. When I say that these guys are pro’s, I mean it 100% (not to mention, he saved me from a full blown mental breakdown during our family portraits during 95° heat and humidity, not my finest moment 😅) He stepped in and basically directed the whole day when he saw our timeline heading south and I don’t know what we would have done without him.
MOST importantly, the videos he delivered are absolutely amazing. I am so thankful to have the wedding highlight, and to also have the footage of our ceremony and the speeches on film! I was so excited to have received such a beautiful video, and every time I watch this video I end up in tears. I am forever grateful for everything Craig did for us and will recommend over and over.
Montage Media Films is a MUST for any bride to hire for her wedding! If I could give 10 stars, I would.
Response from the Vendor on 12/07/2021
Thank you Emily! We are so happy to hear you loved working with us!
AMAZING!! MUST HIRE!!! Montage Media videotaped my wedding on 9/5/21. Jeff was quick to respond to all my emails throughout my year of planning. This was greatly appreciated as many vendors take a long time to respond to questions, but not Jeff! They were super fun to work with on the wedding day. We got our wedding videos back and they are all amazing. Hiring this videographer is worth every penny. After the wedding it was difficult to remember every detail of the day because it flew by and is overwhelming as the Bride & Groom. The videos truly help you remember things you forgot and you get to really relive the moments, even more than photos can. 10/10 recommend!
Thank you to Jeff (and your assistant),
Chelsea & Will

Thank you Chelsea!
Montage Media are an absolute must for your Michigan wedding! Jeff was amazing to work with - he made us and our family and friends all feel so comfortable throughout the day, and captured our wedding in a way we didn't think possible. The videos are amazing, highlighting the most special moments, and letting us relive the joy. We can't thank Jeff & his team enough!
Response from the Vendor on 12/07/2021
Thank you Valerie!
We loved working with Jeff and his team. Our video turned out amazing! All our friends and family love it. I would highly recommend booking Montage for your wedding day. You won’t regret it!

Thank you Jenny! You guys were a blast!
We can't thank Montage Media Films enough for exceeding all our wedding video dreams!! They went above and beyond to capture our special day and even caught many moments we didn't even know happened but are so thankful to now have a memory of! ha! I truly can't recommend them enough. They are SO kind and fun to work with. I have been a guest at many weddings in the past where the videographer feels intrusive and in the way but NOT MONTAGE MEDIA!!! That's why my now husband and I were stunned to watch our video back and think "how and when did they capture that!" We never once felt like they were in the way or distracting at any point throughout the day. Oh and their drone shots are simply INCREDIBLE! We are so grateful for their skills and passion and excited to watch all our videos for decades to come!!

Thank you so much, Jillian!
Jeff was amazing to work with, we would HIGHLY recommend. From the get go Jeff made us feel comfortable with the process, worked with us to find the right package, and guided us throughout. On the day-of he did an amazing job working with our photographer to suggest/capture great shots, ensured we got every moment we asked to get, and did a phenomenal job organizing our wedding party and guests. To cap it off, the end highlight video (~8 minutes) blew us away, capturing so many moments we did (and didn’t remember). We are so glad we went with Jeff at Montage Media, and couldn’t imagine going with anyone else!
Response from the Vendor on 10/03/2021
Thank you, Taylor!
I highly recommend Montage Media for your next event or wedding! Jeff did an absolutely phenomenal job working with us! His professionalism, his demeanor and his knowledge of his craft were top notch. And he worked perfectly along side our photographer and jumped right in. I cannot wait to see our highlight video. I know it will be nothing short of amazing! Thank you so much Montage Media for making our day even more amazing!
Response from the Vendor on 10/03/2021
Thank you Kristin!
We can't thank Jeff enough for being a part of our wedding day. After seeing the video I couldn't help but think "how did he get that shot?", "when was he there?", "how'd he know to capture that person?". He captured the big and little moments and so many that we didn't get to see in real time and for that we are extremely grateful. Jeff's ability to pivot when the weather didn't cooperate and entertainment did not show was also amazing. He captured our friends and family being their natural selves and really put together an outstanding film that summed up the day perfectly. We so appreciate all of Jeff's work and would highly recommend him.
Response from the Vendor on 08/18/2021
Thank you, Sarah! We had a blast working with you and Kyle!
Jeff did more than we dreamed of. His services require a “no brainer “ to hire. Do it! Jeff’s passion and artist flair is reflected in his final products. More than that he has the knack for capturing the subjects true personalities and opens the window to more than memories can capture.
We had never met until the wedding, except for preliminary phone calls but feel we have been aquatinted for a lifetime. He captured our wedding festivities, our once in a lifetime event, for those who attended and could not. We have received many compliments from others who say they felt the love through Jeff’s eye of the lens.
It was an expense that was worth it. The time spent getting the captured moments did not feel intrusive. Jeff put all he focused on at ease. Again, he has the knack.
Additionally, he was clear about expectations, time lines and edits that could be accommodated.
He delivered the product more timely than we had expected.
We are truly “Better Together”
Thank you Jeff

Thank you Emma!
Craig and his team were so great to work with! They made us both feel at ease, did a great job working along our photographer and were very professional. Our wedding highlight video was beautiful and really captured the feel of our day. I am so glad we hired this team and have the most wonderful day documented so beautifully!
Response from the Vendor on 07/27/2021
Thank you, Jenn! We had a great time capturing your amazing wedding day!
Craig and Jeff of Montage Media were phenomenal to work with! They were great communicators leading up to our wedding day and the day of. Their passion for what they do shows in their attitudes and in their finished products! It was so fun to work with them on our wedding day! But best of all, the video they put together captured our wedding day perfectly. So many people have told us how breathtaking the video is and not just because it is our wedding, but because of the high quality and artistry Craig and Jeff put into it! I couldn't have asked for a better team to work with!!
Response from the Vendor on 06/02/2021
Thank you so much Megan! We loved working with you guys as well!
Jeff was amazing! He caught such unique shots without forgetting the basics! He stepped in when our photographer was later than expected to make sure every memory was captured. Highly recommend.

Thank you Melanie!
If you are still looking for a wedding videographer, I highly recommend hiring Montage Media Films! My husband and I got married 8-1-2020 at Aurora Cellars. Jeff Baas and Craig Baas from Montage Media Films did an AMAZING job videotaping our special day! Jeff Baas is the owner and lead videographer and his brother Craig Baas is the second videographer – they are such a great team! We bought the 8-hr Total Package, which included: 2 videographers (Jeff and Craig), drone footage (super cool!!), a 7-min highlight video that was produced 8 weeks after our wedding and an HOUR long video which included our entire ceremony, all the speeches, dances, cake cutting, getting ready with the bridal party and so many more special moments! This package is $4,000 but since we reached out to Jeff so early before our wedding (almost 2 years in advance), he gave us a $500 discount, which was really nice of him! It was a significant investment but it was so worth it, we definitely do not regret it!
We received a package from Jeff about 10 weeks after our wedding, which included an awesome video album (I’ll explain more what this is) of our highlight video and a flash drive with our full hour-long wedding video. When I shared our highlight video on Facebook everyone was so blown away! Everyone said it was the best and most beautiful wedding video they had ever seen, it looked so professional and many people said they loved it so much it brought them to tears! The video album is SO COOL! We were not expecting to get this (it was not listed as one of the things you get when you buy the Total Package) so we were so happily surprised when we received it! It looks like a white photo album and when you open it up there is a flat screen on the right side that turns on and starts playing your wedding highlight video! Such a special and unique thing to have!
Hiring Montage Media Films was one of the best decisions we made to help document our wedding day! Having video of our wedding became even more important to us given all the changes and challenges this year has brought with the COVID pandemic. About half of our guests decided not to attend our wedding for fear of catching the virus (on a side note, no one caught COVID at our wedding). Therefore, it was important for us to be able to share video footage of our wedding with our guests who could not attend so they could still experience all of the special moments as they actually happened instead of just seeing still pictures. Jeff and Craig Baas were so professional, positive and just fun to be around! We appreciated that they were willing to work with us if we did need to make any changes to our wedding (luckily we didn't), they did not cancel on us and they videotaped our day safely (they wore their masks the whole time). Again, I highly recommend Montage Media Films if you are still looking for a wedding videographer! It is so worth the investment especially during this time when many of your wedding guests will most likely not be able to attend your wedding for safety reasons during this COVID pandemic. It is so wonderful to be able to watch and hear special moments from our wedding as they actually happened for years to come and Montage Media Films does an amazing job capturing these moments beautifully!
We couldn’t have been happier with Montage Media. They made the entire process effortless and stress free! The video turned out amazing and we have had so many complements on it! It so nice to be able to show family and friends who couldn’t attend. We will cherish the video forever and ever. It’s so special to us. Thank you Craig!
My husband and I were married 2/29/20! We just barely snuck it in before COVID hit, shutting everything down. We had Jeff and Craig come spend our day with us! Not only did they do a phenomenal job but they were soo easy to have around! We absolutely loved our day and are so very thankful we can relive it whenever we want. They are so good at their job and they work so well with other vendors and the photographer to get all the great shots! Definitely worth every penny!
We ended up booking Craig a bit last minute because of everything with COVID and worries about having to reschedule and having friends/family miss out.
We are SO happy that we ended up making this decision. Hands down- was one of the best part of our day. Craig was so fun to work with and made everyone feel so comfortable. Our highlight video turned out so perfectly edited and put together, and was such a great investment. Having a professional quality video the ceremony, the speeches and the highlight reel of our special day will be something we cherish forever!
Jeff was absolutely FANTASTIC to work with. No matter how comfortable or uncomfortable you are in front of a camera he is able to put you at ease and work in the background so much that you barely notice he's there. But at the same time he goes above and beyond to help with your special day as needed. We won an elopement giveaway package that Montage Media Films volunteered their time and work for and due to Covid-19 we couldn't have any guests or family with us. Jeff helped my husband get his bow tie on, rode with me to the First View sight and kept me company, and even signed our marriage certificate. On top of all of that the final product of his work was amazing! Left us speechless and teary. The video was absolutely perfect. We could not be happier with the video, the professionalism, the creativity, and the genuine kindness. You will not be disappointed if you choose to hire Montage Media Films!

Thank you so much Carrie! It was our pleasure to create a lifelong keepsake for you guys!
Jeff was such an incredible vendor to work with. He were extremely nice and professional. I planned my Traverse City wedding from Grand Rapids, not knowing much about the vendors I should look into. Montage Media was highly recommended to me by a friend who used them, and I am so thankful. I knew I wanted to invest most in photography and videography, but I never knew emotionally what a video could do when reliving your wedding day, until I watched mine. It was a cold fall day and I thought that would be my take away. However, after watching what Jeff did, the weather is the last thing I remember. He captured every detail I could have ever imagined wanting to rewatch perfectly and I will forever be thankful for choosing them to do my wedding. If you are a bride in search of video (which is a must, I promise you) please consider Jeff and his talented team at Montage Media. They will exceed all expectations by far. Thank you guys again!
Response from the Vendor on 01/18/2020
Thank you Allison! You guys were so laid back and fun to work with!
Please do yourself a favor and hire Montage Media!!! Do not even hesitate one second! When I was planning our wedding up in Sutton Bay/Traverse City this past fall, I really was not sure if I wanted to hire a videographer. I was not sure if I needed to have the added expense to everything else that was planned for our big day. I had already hired a great photographer, but didn't know if we really needed the additional video. In retrospect, it is one of the most treasured and amazing memories we have of that day - and do not regret the investment to get the most AMAZING moments captured forever of our day. I'm so happy we decide to hire Craig and team to capture all the little details, smiles, dances, and little .and big moments. The day goes by so fast, and there are moments captured on film that just cannot be represented the same way in a photo. They are so talented and really do such an amazing job of capturing everything in a thoughtful and creative way. If there were more stars here to give these guys I would!! It is worth every single penny! Just do it ! You will not regret it!

Thank you so much Shannen! We love to see happy couples like this!
We were initially hesitant about fitting a videographer into our wedding budget, but we are so glad we did! Craig was awesome to work with on our wedding day - we don’t like being the center of attention, so we were a little nervous about being followed around by a videographer all day, but it didn’t feel that way at all. He was super easy to get along with, and we barely noticed he was there most of the time! We are incredibly happy with the final version of our highlights video, and we are so happy to have it - along with the full ceremony, speeches, and first dance videos - to watch and reminisce about our wedding day.
The initial version of the highlights video wasn’t aligned with what we were expecting, though (e.g., we wanted a classy, sweet, romantic video, but the initial version of the video ended with a party vibe that didn’t align with what we wanted). So if you have any type of vision for what you would or would not like your highlights video to be, we’d recommend giving Montage a clear sense of your preferences/expectations since they don’t have any type of questionnaire to gauge that. We really appreciate Craig working with us to make changes so that the final highlights video aligned with what we felt were truly the highlights of our wedding day. Thank you so much for capturing our day and putting these memories together so beautifully for us, Craig!

Thank you so much Vivienne!
No words can do justice to explain how impressed and thankful we are to have chosen Montage Media to capture our special day. We are overjoyed and beaming with happiness from watching it and will cherish the footage they caught for the rest of our lives. Jeff was so incredibly easy to work with and just has an absolute pure talent for this kind of stuff. I would recommend him and his team over and over and over again! Thank you SO much Montage for giving us this treasure of a video capturing the most special day of our lives thus far for us to relive the magic. We love it so so much!!!!!!
I highly recommend Montage Media Films to any bride looking for a long-term keepsake of their wedding day. Jeff was so easy to talk to and work with throughout the process - booking, planning, and filming. My husband and I were so nervous to see ourselves on film since it is not a typical thing for us. However, we could not have been happier with the results of the video. Jeff capture all of the important moments and created something that allows us to feel like we are reliving that day all over again.

Thank you, Lindsey!
I cannot say enough good things about Montage Media Films. Craig and Jeff are true professionals, and their finished product exceeds any and all expectations! These guys were worth every penny. From the start they took the time to get to know my wife and I, and understood our (my wife's) vision for what we wanted out of a videographer. They spent two days filming and didn't miss any special moments. On top of it both Craig and Jeff are great guys, and a pleasure to be around. They interacted great with our guests and and everyone not only loved our video, but loved the two of them. Strongly recommend them.

Thanks Mike!!
Like many brides I debated whether or not to have a video for our wedding day. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to not only have a videographer but to work with Montage Media. Jeff was super professional and brought all of my dreams to life. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome, it’s definitely worth the investment.
Response from the Vendor on 11/02/2019
Thank you Sylvia!
Hands down one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning! Jeff, Craig, and the Montage Media crew came highly recommended from industry experts, and they made the impossible possible. From a same day live edit that debuted at our reception to drone footage capturing every sound and shot leading up to the altar, they consistently blew us away with their talent, creativity, and professionalism. One of my favorite wedding moments is watching video footage of my husband reading a letter I wrote him that I wouldn’t have seen otherwise if they had not divided and conquered the way they did to capture every single moment of our weekend in beautiful detail! Their style is far more cinematic and artistic than any other wedding video I’ve seen and I can’t recommend them enough to trust with such a special day.
Response from the Vendor on 10/21/2019
Thank you so much Tawney!
Jeff and his team at Montage Media were absolutely amazing! They were always where you wanted them to be before you looked for them. He caught so many unforgettable memories. My wife and I are so happy with our wedding video, we have watched it over and over. His drone shots are surreal. They captured every angle possible. His editing was spot on as to what we wanted in our video! I would recommend him to anyone looking for a videographer for their wedding!
