The M2/Stagger team are truly one in a million and we can’t say enough wonderful things about them. We knew they were wonderful from our initial phone call/meeting, and they were just as awesome in person as we suspected they would be. We are not naturals in front of a camera, but the whole team just made us feel comfortable. Our wedding day was rainy, so our first look shots weren’t in the original/planned location - however, they were able to seamlessly pivot to a new location and the photos are stunning - we are now so glad there was rain! The whole team was present, but not distracting, at the event, and seemed to blend in seamlessly with the guests. We have our teaser photos and they are absolutely gorgeous and capture exactly what we had hoped they would. They sent helpful and thoughtful surveys, including must have shots (but also included many more people when we changed our minds day of!). Truly, would love them to capture every important (and maybe inconsequential) event in our lives moving forward!

Michael and his team are so fun and unobtrusive. They were there all day and captured every moment without being invasive. They were incredible. The end result was so amazing. We’ve enjoyed watching the films so much. Prior to the day, we had a few calls, including a cross-coordination call with our photographer. They gave us the most extensive questionnaire to get a sense of what we wanted to capture and any important moments and details. They were ready for anything and everything. The footage they got is so beautiful and we’re so thrilled we got to work with this team.

Stagger Films was our first choice for our wedding film. Their Instagram portfolio was enough for us to have full trust in them to capture all of the most amazing and intimate moments of our micro wedding! The film turned out phenomenal and brought up all the happy tears again rewatching our perfect day. Jordan was awesome and personable and joked around with us and our photographer. It made things go so smoothly having someone film that went with the flow and truly looked like he was enjoying his time filming as much as we enjoyed being able to have so many special moments with our families being captured. I would choose Stagger Films a million times over to film our special day again, they have the magic touch! From our first phone call with Michael, the process leading into the wedding, the actual day, the music selection and the final product was well worth every penny to have our film to rewatch for the rest of our lives! We cannot wait to show our families and our future children!

Stagger Films is absolutely amazing! Leading up to the wedding we had several calls to discuss exactly what we wanted for videography. Michael and Melissa totally understood our vision and made the experience so positive. Michael and his team were so professional and efficient on the day of the wedding. They captured so many incredible moments that we will treasure forever. During all of the shooting they were so creative with direction and everyone had a blast. I cannot recommend Stagger Films enough!

We’re grateful beyond measure for Michael, Jason, and the whole Stagger Films team! Michael was our point-of-contact leading up to our wedding day. He was patient with so many questions and he tailored a package to get us everything we wanted for videography (e.g., drone / raw footage, highlight film, hours of coverage). When we had our planning meeting with Michael…the conversation was so seamless and he exuded warmth & positivity that put us right at ease. Jason was our videographer the day of and we wish we could give him more than 5 stars….he was AMAZING! It rained right before our ceremony and Jason did everything with a smile on his face; he gave us direction when we needed it and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera by making us feel like we were hanging out with a friend. If you’re looking for a videographer that will laugh with you when the weather gets moody, go above-and-beyond to ensure your day goes smoothly all while capturing your favorite moments...no brainer, we recommend Stagger Films over and over again! ❤

My husband and I were absolutely thrilled with how our wedding video turned out! Stagger Films captured all of the emotions and details of the day beautifully.
The team is not only talented, but they are also compassionate real humans and understand life happens. After 2 years of postponements due to covid, we experienced a major medical emergency only one month before the wedding. All of a sudden, all plans were on hold yet again and we were not sure how we would proceed. Stagger Films was incredibly understanding and worked with us through every hurdle we experienced during our 4+ year engagement. Thankfully we were finally able to have our wedding day and the team put together videos we will cherish forever.
Pro tip: OPT TO GET THE ADDITIONAL EDITED FOOTAGE. We have SO much amazing video of the most important parts of our day. Having this allows us to go back and slow down a day that went by much too quickly. I can't recommend Stagger Films more - you will not regret spending the money to capture what will be one of the most important days of your life.

Michael and his team are incredible. Not only is the end result just stunning (made me cry like 7 times), but they make the process so fun and easy. They give you an extensive questionnaire prior to the day to get a true sense of the vibe you are looking for and to be prepared for anything and everything. The quality of the shots and the editing are also amazing. I can't say enough good things about this team.

Michael and Melissa are so kind and genuine you feel like you‘ve known them for years. Their presence was so calm and grounding I completely forgot I was being filmed all day (which I was super nervous about). We are so happy with the way the film turned out and feel so so grateful Michael and his team spent the day with us and helped us capture the day. The film is so meaningful to us now, I can‘t imagine how grateful we will be to have it 20+ years from now.

Michael, Melissa and their whole team are amazing to work with! From our first time speaking with them we knew that we wanted to work with M2 and Stagger. Michael and Melissa made us feel so comfortable and at ease on our wedding day. The video from Stagger absolutely blew us away. It captured the feel of our wedding and our personality as a couple perfectly. Watching our video makes us smile from ear to ear, giggle and shed a sweet tear or two. We can’t say enough positive things about Stagger. We will cherish this video forever!

As a film and photography lover, the first thing I did after getting engaged and booking our venue was to hire Stagger Films to do all of our wedding videography needs! We ended up having to postpone our wedding a year and they were very accommodating and rescheduled us no problem. We had two videographers from their team with us all day who were so kind and professional. When they were filming I hardly noticed them there, yet they captured the most beautiful footage.
We picked them because of their documentary style, and they did not disappoint! We received a highlight reel along with a documentary edit of all of the important events of the day. With all of the adrenaline rushing, it's hard to remember every detail of the day, so we were so happy to be able to watch the ceremony, speeches, and dances back in their entirety after our big day. What an absolutely amazing keepsake we get to have forever.
I know the highlight reels are very popular these days, but you really can tell a difference with Stagger Films, and they are worth every penny. They clearly put a lot of thought and attention to detail into their final cuts, which truly showcased the essence of our relationship and the vibe of our day. We would definitely recommend the Stagger Film team to anyone getting married!

Michael and the entire Stagger Team are amazing! They were beyond helpful during the entire planning and process. During the actual wedding day(s), they remained enthusiastic, attentive and collaborative. The final result is hands down the most epic highlight film we've ever seen! Words cannot express our gratitude! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

Stagger Films played a role in our small backyard wedding ceremony (large event postponed due to COVID) and in our big wedding weekend a year later. They covered all of our events perfectly and captured all the major aspects. Their highlight film is the best quality we have seen. We have been to countless weddings over the years and their product is just superior to others. All the other films of our special day were just spectacular as well. They are able to capture everything perfectly and are master's of their craft.
Michael is extremely responsive and attentive. He works with you closely and helps to design the product you want.If you are looking for videography for your event, we recommend you look no further and just sign with them today! We are definitely going to cherish our videos for years to come! Also having all the films was perfect for family members and friends who couldn't make it! Also great for us--the couple and close family who may not have been able to enjoy every detail given the fast pace of all the events!
Michael was also very flexible given all the changes due to postponing our ceremony, and always made sure we were getting everything we needed/wanted!We have received numerous compliments on our video and we honestly cannot stop watching.
We did look elsewhere for videography, but they along with all of their other sister teams: M2 photography, poserphoto booth co were the best decisions we made!
The whole team is just amazing!!

The entire Stagger Films crew was so kind and accommodating - truly an enjoyable team to work with. They captured our wedding day beautifully, with focus on all the important moments as well as all the behind the scenes moments that paint a complete picture of the day. The videos they gave us are ones we'll watch over and over again and treasure forever. Cannot recommend them highly enough!

The Stagger Films team was simply incredible from start to finish. They captured our day BEAUTIFULLY and authentically. As someone who is camera shy, the video team was very supportive the day of the wedding and made us and our guests feel comfortable. If you have the chance to work with Stagger, we would highly recommend. We now have a lasting memento of such a special day.

Stagger Films is nothing short of perfection! From the start of our videographer search, Mike was so personable, genuine, and kind. He made us feel very comfortable, and always gave us space to ask questions and clarify expectations. We selected a package that gave us a highlight reel as well as doc footage. Mike was available throughout the entire wedding planning process to answer questions and help us to ensure we would be getting exactly what we hoped for. The day before our wedding we had some big changes happen, and Mike was unbelievably kind and was quick to ensure all changes wouldn’t affect our video and our expectations for the day. Not to mention, he was so thoughtful and helpful! Day of, our videographers were incredible. The videographer was one of the few vendors we selected that we did not already have a personal relationship with, but you wouldn’t have known. They were so friendly and helpful, and they made us feel so comfortable and at times we truly didn’t even know they were there! At the end of the day we were thinking to ourselves “did the videographer get that moment?” because we couldn’t tell if they were around or not! Well, let me tell you, they did. Our highlight video is everything we could have ever imagined, and they captured all the big and small moments with such grace. The editing was exactly what we hoped for, and we will cherish this video for our entire life. If you are debating whether to get the doc footage as well, definitely do it! We were so happy to get to watch the big moments all over again, especially because for some of the moments we were not able to see them in person! These videos are truly the best thing we did during our entire wedding planning process, and I am certain we would never have been this happy with any other company. Stagger Films not only produces the absolute highest quality, but the entire team is just filled with the best people who are always available to help and answer questions. Thank you Mike & the whole crew at Stagger! :)

My husband and I were a little unsure if we wanted to go with a videographer given the high prices across the board, but Stagger Films was so worth it and they really worked with us on our vision of the day and with our budget. Michael was punctual, enthusiastic, and kept an open line of communication throughout every step of the process. They made sure to ask us a bunch of questions to get the exact vision of what we had in mind. The results were beautiful and worth every penny - I am so glad we decided not only on videography but on working with Stagger Films. Highly recommend.

We are so grateful for the opportunity to work with Michael's team at Stagger Films. They were absolutely incredible. We had originally not planned to have videography for our wedding and after speaking with Michael we knew that they were the perfect match for us. After receiving our wedding video, we are beyond grateful for the work they have done. Our video is absolutely beautiful and feel so blessed to have this memory from our wedding.

As quality of an experience one could ask for. From their professionalism to making the experience fun and enjoyable Stagger Films and the entire M2 team are par excellence in every way.
They get to know their clients, their story and bring it to life through their photographic and cinematic expertise.
I can’t rave enough about just how enjoyable and top-notch this company is to work with. Hiring them to document your wedding or event is not only a great service but a great and memorable experience in and of itself.
A great business and even better people.

My wife and I hired Stagger films to do videography at our wedding a few months ago. We just received the finished product and could not be happier! In just the first day, we have received countless compliments from friends and family about how beautiful the video was. Many commented how they couldn’t get over how artfully done and “cinematic” the video was. Our videographer on the wedding day, Matt, could not have been more professional and kind. He always knew the right moments to pull my wife and I aside to capture the perfect shot. On top of that, Matt worked seamlessly with our wedding photographer to ensure that they both got the most out of the day. The owner, Michael, also was very helpful and accommodating. Videography was something we went back-and-forth on whether to do for the wedding and, looking back, I cannot imagine if we hadn’t gone through with the videography and picked Stagger Films to perfectly capture our special day.

Stagger Films did an amazing job on our wedding video! On the day, they showed up on time, worked well with our photographers, and were friendly and easy going. They let us focus on each other, the events of our day, and our guests, without feeling like we were being recorded, all while they floated around in the background magically capturing everything. One of the aspects that drew us to Stagger Films was that each of their videos was beautiful but different from the others, showing that they focus on each couple's wedding vibe, and they did just that with ours, giving us the intimate, emotional mood we hoped for our small 10-person wedding! We were so impressed with how they blended big and small moments from the day into such a moving highlight video. We've heard such positive responses (including tears) from friends and family. Our wedding video is personal and is a true reflection of us and our wedding day.

10/10 experience with Stagger Films. They were responsive from day 1, easy to work with, and made a stunning final video. The associate who shot our wedding day, Matt, was extremely pleasant and worked will with the photo team and we genuinely felt they were all a joy to be around. Being teary-eyed and romantic around strangers has potential to feel awkward and we felt the exact opposite - totally warm and welcome to express ourselves. Matt showed up early which was great, and then Michael (owner @ Stagger) okayed him to stay a little longer to capture the end of our speeches when the schedule got slightly reorganized on the day-of. Couldn't be more thankful for that. They captured our wedding day energy perfectly and it was worth every (reasonable) penny! Would pick them over and over again.

Stagger Films was recommended to us through the venue we chose (Promise Ridge), and we could not be happier with the service, and quality we received. Going back to the very beginning with our initial, virtual, meeting. Michael was great to talk with, easily breaking the ice, making us feel comfortable, and getting to know us.
Throughout our planning process, they were professional, informative and quick to respond to any question or concern we had. They were also thorough in understanding the timeline of the wedding day, and in understanding the most meaningful moments to capture. On our wedding day, we had the pleasure of working with Ben. He was personable, funny and a calming presence, which helped us feel at ease in front of the camera, and allowed us to immerse ourselves in special day.
The video we received brought tears to our eyes. It perfectly embodied the feelings, atmosphere and love we felt that day. We know we'll be replaying this video for years to come, and it will only become more and more precious to us.

We did not decide whether to get a videographer for our wedding until later. We honestly weren’t sure if it was worth it, as both our parents’ wedding videos were awful. However, after watching the sample films Stagger has on their website, we completely changed our minds and decided it was worth it.
Our video from Stagger was amazing. They did a wonderful job. During the day of they were very hands off and got shots that I don’t even know how they did it. I would highly recommend them!

We couldn’t be happier that we chose Stagger Films for our wedding videography. From the start of the day to the end of the night, they captured the most magical moments from our wedding and then perfectly weaved all of those moments together into the highlight film. We cry EVERY time we watch it, which is a lot of times.
Besides the beautiful video content (including aerial drone footage!), we so appreciated how thoughtfully Stagger Films worked the event; they made sure to let us enjoy every moment without any paparazzi-esque interruptions, and yet their video footage makes you feel like you’re in the middle of the action. They’re magic – I don’t know how they do it!
Thank you to Stagger Films for allowing us to relive our wedding day, on repeat.

Hiring Stagger was one of the best decisions of our wedding! We chose Stagger after hiring M2 as our photographers, and seeing Michael and Melissa’s work we knew we wanted our wedding captured on film as well. They did not disappoint! They make you feel so comfortable in front of the camera, like it’s not even there. They partied with us and are genuinely awesome people to be around. Their style captured and conveyed the emotions of the day better than any video I’ve seen before. Would 100% recommend!

We loved working with Stagger Films! We reviewed a ton of different options and being in the film business myself, it was one of the hardest decisions I made for our wedding. We could not have picked better! Their films are romantic and genuine without feeling phony or cheesey. They capture the mood of the day, beautiful footage of the setting, candid moments, and intercut audio from the day and speeches. We and every person who's seen our video has been blown away by how beautiful, touching, and personal our wedding video is. It doesn't feel like a cookie cutter wedding video. It is truly a reflection of us as a couple and our wedding day. The team at Stagger was SO easy to work with, they are so nice and make you feel absolutely comfortable. They are incredibly non intrusive, and somehow managed to capture every single thing, without us even noticing. And the drone footage they got - wow, no words - it is absolutely stunning. Book them now!

From the viewpoint of the parents of the Bride - we are so happy that we decided to 1) move forward with a videographer, and 2) our choice of Stagger Films. The videography team was not at all intrusive, and in fact when watching the video we often wonder how they took the incredible shots they did. The end result was beyond words, a special memory that we will re-live time after time with great joy. We highly recommend working with them!

When we first started selecting wedding vendors, we were initially disinterested in a wedding video. After we decided on M2 as our photographer, my husband was checking out their sister company, Stagger Films' work, and got teary watching some example videos. We ended up hiring Stagger Films to make our wedding video and are SO glad we did.
Our wedding video is so lovely and emotional. It managed to capture all the incredible moments throughout the day as well as quiet, hidden moments that we never knew we wanted to remember. Working with Michael and the team was effortless; we didn't ever feel like the cameras were in the way, and the crew was warm, friendly, and invested in us, our friends, and family.
We chose M2 and Stagger Films because we felt like no other videos or photos compared to theirs, and we thought they were amazing human beings. After getting our video and photos back, we are SO glad we did. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

I had an outstanding experience with Stagger Films and highly recommend them!
For my wedding I worked with M2 Photography, and as part of a package deal with them, I also got videography with Stagger Films. I didn't communicate much with them prior to the event, but when I met them day of I appreciated their calm presence, professionalism, and helpfulness in subtly directing me before the wedding so that they could get the best shots. Once we were at the ceremony and the celebration I did not notice their presence, as they blended into the background and allowed us to enjoy our special day.
The video that they put together for us could not be more perfect. I feel like it captures our relationship and the wedding day so well. They included so many special moments while blending them together flawlessly. I've already watched it about ten times and tear up every time.
Thank you Stagger Films! I appreciate your work so much.
To all the other couples out there, I couldn't recommend them more highly!

Future Brides and Grooms, if there is one thing that is an absolute must have for your wedding, it's Stagger Films! From the very beginning, my husband and I decided that photography (Hey M2!) and videography were our two top priorities (aside from venue) in terms of our vendors. We found Stagger through M2 photography, who we absolutely adore (go check them out!), and are so glad that we did. On the day of our wedding, Ben and Stephanie were absolutely incredible. They are both super fun, down to earth, and so kind and easy to be around. The whole day was very natural and authentic, never once were we asked to "re-do" or recreate a certain moment. To be honest, we didn't even notice they were there most of the time- they were that good! They worked so well with M2 and their styles match perfectly together.
We knew that we were going to be happy with our film, but we had no idea just how much we were going to love it. When we saw our highlight film for the first time, it brought my husband and I both to tears. They captured all the best parts of our day perfectly, and it truly allowed us to relive our day all over again. We love everything about our video, from the footage taken, the music paired with it, and the voiceovers they chose to include. What we love most though, is that our video tells a love story in the most authentic, raw way. My heart did flips watching our video for the first (and 100th) time. We are so in love with our video, and we have received so many compliments from our friends and family as well. I can't tell you just how happy we are not only that we had a videographer, but that we had Stagger. We could not have dreamt of a better team. THANK YOU to Stagger for giving us one of the greatest gifts we could have ever received! We are so excited to watch our videos for all the years to come!
