Choosing Mike Purdy and his team as our wedding photographer and videographer was one of the best decisions we made for our special day. From the moment we spoke to Mike, it was clear that he was not only talented but also incredibly professional and attentive to our needs.
Mike and his team arrived promptly, ready to start capturing every moment of our wedding day. They immediately put us at ease, making sure we felt comfortable and relaxed throughout the photo sessions. Their friendly demeanor and ability to make us laugh resulted in beautifully natural and candid photos that truly captured the joy and emotion of the day.
One unforgettable moment that truly showcased Mike and his team's dedication and expertise was when one of his photographers, amidst the bustling excitement of our wedding day, calmly and skillfully sewed a section of my veil back together because something caused the thread to come undone and all the beads were falling off. It was a small mishap, but as a bride, every detail feels monumental. The photographer noticed the falling beads, and without missing a beat, she took out her sewing kit and started delicately repairing the veil. Throughout the quick repair, she reassured me with a warm smile and calming words.
This incident further highlighted the preparedness and attentiveness of Mike’s team. They were not only there to document our day but also to lend a helping hand whenever needed, going above and beyond their role as photographers and videographers. It was a sweet reminder of their commitment to ensuring that every detail of our day was handled with care and expertise.
Mike's thorough preparation and experience was evident throughout our interactions leading up to the wedding day. He was familiar with the layout of our photo shoot locations and made a timeline that accounted for every major event of the day down to the minutes Moreover, Mike was always available to hop on calls with us whenever we had questions about the timeline, shoot ideas, or specific locations. He was incredibly accommodating, even customizing our package to perfectly fit our needs.
As the day progressed, Mike and his team continued to impress. They seamlessly adapted to any changes or requests we had, including extending their coverage time at the end of the night so we could capture more moments. What stood out the most was their positive attitude and genuine enthusiasm throughout the entire process. There was never a hint of impatience or reluctance; instead, they were committed to ensuring that we had the best possible day and experience.
Now, as we eagerly await the final results—our wedding photos and video—we have complete confidence that Mike's artistic style will shine through. His passion for his craft and dedication to capturing the essence of our day are evident in every interaction we had with him.
Working with Mike and every individual on his team was such an absolute pleasure. They exceeded our expectations in every way, from their professionalism and preparedness to their warm personalities and artistic vision. We wholeheartedly recommend Mike to anyone looking for a wedding photographer and videographer who not only delivers exceptional results but also makes the entire experience enjoyable and as stress-free as possible. To Mike and your team, thank you for making our wedding day so special and we can’t wait to see it all come together!
My experience with Mood photo has been beyond terrible. Mike is unprofessional and completely untalented. I could have just taken the same photos myself using a cell phone instead of spending thousand of dollars. The photos were beyond basic. He missed important moments that I could never recapture. It is unfortunate that I will not have a good memory of my wedding day photos nor my engagement photo shoot. The whole interaction was beyond stressful and unpleasant. I don't recommend Mood Photo to anyone.
This review is for the videography portion of Mood Photo Video. After my wedding, it took 1.5 years to get my video file. This is after multiple requests,unfulfilled promises and the threat that all video information was lost. The video file that was eventually delivered was beyond disappointing. There are video clips with no sound and audio clips with no video. Complete disorganization. No complete video footage of my ceremony or reception. No drone footage which I paid extra for. Due to the expensive price of the videography I was expecting high quality work however this was a total fail.
Mood Photo and Video is the best in the game! They’re so helpful, prompt and most importantly creative (which is so important)! We had a quite a large group of bridesmaids and groomsmen and they were so patient and made what seemed like chaos a fun time for everyone! Not to mention, a quick turn around time for the pictures and super reliable. If you’re looking for a photographer/videographer for your wedding look no further! This company will blow your mind!
Mike just shot my engagement photo session, and he is a genius at capturing the most natural, gorgeous moments! His styles of photography are beyond exemplary! You will enjoy him as your photographer because he is (1) amazing, (2) very friendly, and (3) very attentive to your needs.
Loved everyone and service/photos were fabulous, was extremely happy.
Mike Purdy from Studio Purdy was absolutely amazing to work with. He shot our engagement pictures and wedding. My husband and I were under immense amount of stress during the whole planning process due to other events in our lives. Mike made it easy for us to forget about everything else and just enjoy ourselves during the engagement shoot. I also am not one that is big on PDA and Mike made it where I was comfortable enough and actually had fun. Mike has such a fun and easygoing personality that we really enjoyed having him around to take pictures. Even the videographer told me later how much he liked Mike and how easy he was to work with.
As for the actual photos, I still get compliments all the time on the engagement pictures. They truly are absolutely stunning! I was very pleased with how they turned out. I explained to Mike the type of background I wanted and he knew exactly where to go and what to do.
I just received our wedding pictures back and they also look really good. Mike has a great eye for detail and artistic looks. He's not there to shoot just the typical wedding shots, even though he will shoot the necessary ones. If you are looking for a more artistic and contemporary look to your wedding pictures, then Mike is your guy! We couldn't be any happier with the work Mike did for us.
Words cannot describe our experience with our photographer. He is so talented, easy to work with & a true artist. Our engagement shoot session was so much fun, we shot from 3pm-11pm & I would do it all over in a heartbeat. My engagement photos do not compare to anything else I've seen. My wedding day was just as special and amazing. I have had a few previews of our wedding photos and I am blown away & just as impressed as always. Mike is very professional & he captures your love in beautiful images.
You guys need to book Mike Purdy. He is very creative, and makes every bride feel beautiful on her special day. He is honest, and helpful and will make this experience unforgettable!
