MISSION
"Maximize Your Storytelling With Power"
This is my mission statement when it comes to wedding videography. The word "Power" means capturing raw emotional moments and using them to create beautiful stories through the art of filmmaking.
When telling and capturing stories, Weckle Films is intentional with the small details. Those details adds a different level of flavor and intimacy to storytelling.
BACKGROUND
It began by watching a few creative films from filmmakers on YouTube. After being inspired by their amazing work, I made the choice to begin investing in my first camera.
The first camera was bought in 2016, which was a Canon 70D body. Ever since then, the drive and passion for film and videography started to kick off even faster in 2017 and continues to film to this very day.
LOCATION
Located in Springfield MA, Weckle Films travels all over the region of New England. Including MA, CT, NH, NY, and ME.

I am a June 2024 Bride and we hired Weckle Films over a year ago in January of 2022. We were very excited to have him capture our big day, but are now extremely frustrated and worried that he will not show up and provide the service we have paid for. After completing all of our payments Michael has gone silent on us. I have tried to reach out to him on many occasions with no response for the past month or so. I am writing this review in the hope that another bride will not end up in this situation less than a month out from their wedding.
Writing this review in hopes of preventing other couples from getting scammed by Michael Weckle.
We hired Michael to do the videography for our October 2023 wedding. All seemed fine until about 6 months out when he totally stopped responding. Seeing reviews from other couples online we realized we weren't the only couple he was ghosting. We made the decision to find another videographer even though we had already paid Michael $1,000 in deposits. Fast forward to 10:30 PM THE NIGHT BEFORE our wedding. I get a text to the effect of "Hey, this is Michael Weckle, is your wedding still on for tomorrow?" What kind of wedding vendor just doesn't contact you at all and then texts you the night before asking if he should still show up? Obviously I told him at that point we were all set with his services. Seriously such a bizarre experience.
Ghosted another couple with their wedding video.
Would not recommend booking Weckle films. We were married back in early May and have not received any of our raw footage, nor the documentary edit we wanted. It is super disappointing as we did not even know if he would make it to our wedding (he was not communicating weeks leading up to our wedding). We were advised from another vendor of ours to drop him and book with someone else, which we regret not doing. He ended up answering us 5 days before our wedding that he would be showing up. And now we are beyond the contract timeline on getting our video, and he has not answered any email but the one that mentioned legal action... then stopped responding again.
We used Michael for our COVID wedding and he was amazing, but when we used him for our reception two years later he ghosted us afterwards and we had to persistently beg him to send us the raw footage of our wedding day. After way too many attempts to respectfully reach him and the fear that we would never see one of the most important aspects of our day, he eventually did, but is now back to ignoring all attempts to rectify the situation. We have been extremally understanding patient and kind, but at this point just want a partial refund and wish to move on. It'll be a year next month and we have *nothing* to show for it. I'm sad that I have had to leave this review, but we gave him almost a year to remedy this.
To all future brides using WECKLE FILMS please advise.
I got married on November 5th 2022, and have had nothing but negative experience with Michael at this point.
At first he was there, communicating when I had a question and responding back within a reasonable timeframe. After my wedding I proceeded to reach out to him to add some videos from my day that he didn’t captured by him and he was completely unresponsive.
My wedding planner had also stepped and tried to help as he was late beyond his contracted delivery date. We then had to threaten with legal action to get a response.
I am not the only past bride that had this similar issue with him, and the other bride also had to get legal action involved in her situation as well.
I finally got my videos on 3/20 (with 90 days to download) so I downloaded them and watched the documentary. I am missing the whole cake cutting footage and he never fixed a part of my ceremony clip as he mentioned on the day of.
I have reached out numerous times, once again- NO RESPONSE. There is absolutely no excuse.
It’s extremely disappointing as I myself am a wedding vendor (photographer) and work weddings too. I understand we are in wedding season but no bride should have to deal with this.
Very poor communication after our wedding. He was months past the contracted date for delivery of our video and highlight film. He apologized and then never responded to emails or phone calls once again after we requested revisions we were told we could get. We are now going on 7+ months since our wedding date.
My husband and I had the opportunity to hire Michael Weckle for our wedding. Even in a time where he thought he wouldn’t be able to squeeze us in due to the demand in his services he absolutely made our dream come true! When working with Michael it was like we had known him for a long time. Our highlight film and documentary film were everything we could have wanted. Watching back these videos was like reliving the best day of our life all over again. Chad and I would hire Michael again and of course recommend his services to anyone!
We hired Michael to do a documentary edit of our wedding. He was very professional to work with leading up to our wedding and even allowed me to add an extra hour of filming to our package the month of the wedding. On the day of he was on time and great at giving direction and creative ideas. We are happy with the final product we received finally. Our only recommendation for future couples is to stay on top of your footage and video timeline after the wedding. Set some reminders to check in on the progress of your video. We had a few issues getting in touch but after some back and forth we finally have a video we are satisfied with. We are only waiting for the flash drive now.
Michael was so helpful and professional through our whole wedding and reception. He truly cares about his work and makes sure the couple is getting everything they dreamed of on their wedding day documented. Could not recommend his work more!
Weckle Films was great to work with for our wedding day. We especially loved the highlight film! Michael took our wishes and preferences into consideration and really allowed us to be involved in the specifics of the video making and it resulted in an incredible video of our day. He was kind and considerate throughout the day and worked very well with our photographers. Weckle Films had very reasonable prices and a wide range of packages to choose from to fit our specific needs. We are grateful for the product he gave us and would recommend him to anyone.
If you are on the fence about getting a videographer- MAKE THE LEAP! Nothing is better than being able to look back at amazing footage of all the special moments and relive a day that goes by so quickly it’s hard to process what’s happening. You don’t realize how many emotions you never get the chance to process just because you are feeling so many different things at once. Weckle films goes above and beyond and he truly gets alllll the angles- my husband encourages all guys to get the drone footage too!! With the convenient payment plan you can chip away at it, and realize every penny was well spent in something you will without a doubt cherish for many years!
Michael's work is incredible!!! We were on the fence about hiring a videographer but we are SO happy that we did and so happy it was him who we found. We love our highlight film and will cherish it for years to come. It captured all of the best parts of our day and the quality of the video is incredible. We were very impressed by Michael's work, and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone!!! He was so easy to work with, responsive, and affordable. We will truly be forever grateful for his time and dedication to our special day.
I am so thrilled that I hired Weckle Films for my special day. After seeing his work from a friends wedding, I knew I needed Michael to do our wedding. He is so personable and really takes the time to understand his clients wants and needs. He made us feel comfortable and had us laughing! Michael knew exactly was he was doing and gave us so many ideas for awesome pictures and video shots. Not only is Michael such a cool guy, he is professional, timely and responsive. I highly recommend Weckle Films to shoot your wedding! I cannot wait to see the outcome!
Michael Weckle was truly amazing and very professional. He created a video package that we will cherish forever. Michael was always there to answer any questions and the price was very affordable. Book Weckle Films, you will not be disappointed.
Weckle was exactly what we were looking for in a videographer!! We were super last minute booking but Michael made everything seamless! Super supportive the day of our wedding and so positive. He brought a great vibe that we truly appreciated. We were then AMAZED by the finished product. Couldn’t have asked for a better wedding video that we will cherish forever.
Michael did an absolutely amazing job with our wedding videography. We just received our highlight reel, which takes a lot of time and effort for artists to compile and he did so in such quick time for it being peak wedding season! We haven’t watched our raw footage yet but can’t wait to see all the extra details Michael captured. He was with us every step of the way from getting ready all the way through the very end of our reception. He was out there dancing with us and our guests on the dance floor all night long!! He far exceeded expectations and we couldn’t be happier with our decision to hire Michael! Thank you so so much Michael!!
I cannot recommend Michael enough! He did a beautiful video for our small wedding last year (2020) and we just received our sneak preview for this year 10/16/21. We both cried watching the videos and feel he truly captured our day(s). He makes you feel super comfortable and is great at communicating throughout the process and is very affordable on top of it! If you're debating having videographer you will not regret hiring Michael!
5/5 stars!!! Michael was amazing!!! He was so responsive to every email I sent regarding details for our wedding. He sent a check list before to make sure he had everything he needed to make our day go smoothly. The day was 100 degrees out so very hot, the video was flawless, you couldnt even tell. His work ethic was amazing as he worked with my photographer to capture the best moments. He even shot the entirety of our wedding when I didnt even tell him to capture it! He was so detailed oriented for instance about placing my veil in the exact spot to make sure he could capture the beauty. When it came to our video we got exactly what we needed and now are able to relive our day over and over again. We didnt have many edits to make but if we did he was able to correct them in a quick manner and get them back to us! Please look no further and hire Weckle Films, you wont be disappointed!!
If you're looking for a videographer, look no futher! We were on the fence about hiring a videographer for our wedding, but after a lot of reserch we found Micheal and could not have been happier!! Michael is super responsive and worked extremely well with our photographer. He knows how to get the right shots and directs you through everything. We got our highlight video about a month later and our full film a few days after that. Michael was very open to our edit suggestions and got the edited films back to us the next day. Overall, he was a joy to work with!
Michael was truly the best. He went above and beyond to capture every special moment of the best day of our lives. Even on a rainy day, everything worked out perfectly. If you are looking for someone to capture your special day, look no further because Weckle Films is the way to go! I highly recommend Michael. We absolutely love our video and could not be any happier.

Michael was absolutely amazing!!! He was so enthusiastic on our wedding day and made sure to get all the parts of the video that we wanted. I am so happy to have such a beautiful video and memory of our special day!! The video is such high quality and includes the entire day! Our highlight video is so perfect & includes a mix of music and our voices in the background (which is what I requested)! We had requested him to do guest interviews and watching it back is so fun & memorable to see people at our wedding and the wishes the guests have for us!!! I would highly recommend Michael for any wedding!!! He was deep in our dance floor to make sure he got the best footage... and he certainly did!!!! Book Him Now cause he books up fast!!!
Michael was incredible from beginning to end. He was so kind and easy to work with leading up to the wedding. He had thorough questions to figure out what we wanted from our video. He was kind and courteous at the wedding, and the finished product blew us away! We had a small, covid wedding, and we thought we had been pretty present for all the moments. Michael managed to catch many more! The video was high quality and very professional. We cannot say enough good things about him! He's a pure professional and a nice person.
Legit the best!
He was not only a pleasure to work with leading up to the wedding, but did such a great job the day of! My husband and I felt so comfortable and fun and relaxed it really allowed us to be ourselves. Our video was done in the perfect amount of time and quality is amazing. Highly recommend!
I found Weckle Films after getting screwed over by another videographer - he was fantastic and patient with me when I was a little afraid to book for a while. Communication was great during the time leading up to my wedding and on the day of everything went well despite some unforeseen hurdles (not his fault)! He ended up coming early and staying late to accommodate everything we had asked for. He’s a really good hype man and makes you feel so comfortable! Our videos were ready so much sooner than I thought they’d be and are such a perfect reminder of our day. I’m so happy I found Michael who is affordable and cares about/works hard at what he does. I would recommend him to anyone!
I’m so grateful that we hired Michael Weckle to capture our wedding day! Words truly cannot describe how amazing he was! From the moment he walked into the room, he began working to capture the best shots. He was professional, punctual, and attentive. He made me feel comfortable throughout the process. I was so appreciative of his direction and feedback throughout the day. At times, he made the bridal party and I laugh when providing praise on our poses. He also communicated and worked well with my other vendors. I saw him helping the photographer set up to get a good shot. He is a team player and his energy is electric!
Hiring Mike will be one of the best decisions you make for you wedding. His prices are unbeatable, and he was amazing to work with. Professional but also personable and makes you feel comfortable throughout the entire time. 100000% would recommend Weckle Films!
If you are looking for a videographer or are on the fence, look no further and book Weckle Films. Not only is the price beyond affordable, Michael is amazing to work with and his video quality is amazing. We got our highlight film back within a month and it was more than I could have imagined. Michael was super fun to work with and we never felt uncomfortable. he is super nice and flexible if you want anything specific. We are so happy to have a video we can watch for years to come!!!
Michael is exceptionally talented, not just in the way he captures each and every moment of your big day, but in the way he works with you and your family. Michael goes above and beyond to make sure your day is not only stress free, but fun, too! What more could you ask for on your wedding day!?
Last June 27th in the midst of Covid, Michael was extremely flexible when we decided to forgo our large ceremony/reception and say “I do” amongst our immediate family. We had the pleasure of working with him that day, as well as this year, on our first anniversary (we finally celebrated with all our family and friends with a renewal of vows and reception)! When we arrived at the venue, Michael was already there and ready to go. He worked collaboratively with our photographer, who he just met that day. He was extremely professional and respectful. Michael was great at reading the moment and providing us with direction when we needed. Michael’s energy and excitement is contagious and made our big day all the more wonderful. The conditions were not ideal either, it was extremely hot and humid (conditions no one wants to work in), but Michael didn’t seem phased and his passion for what he does continued to show! During reception formalities and on the dance floor Michael didn’t miss a beat and captured every moment without ever being in the way. We highly, highly recommend Michael and we can’t thank him enough!
Micheal was incredible. He was wonderful to work with, and captured the most perfect video of our day. We highly recommend Weckle films!
We had a great experience working with Michael and can’t recommend him enough! I didn’t originally plan to have a videographer for a wedding, but when Covid forced us to reduce our guest list from 120 to 75 to 45 to 25, I realized how many people were going to miss seeing those special moments and wanted to find a way to share the day with them. I searched frantically in the weeks before our wedding and found Michael, who was great to work with – he created a package that matched exactly what I was looking for and even though he was already booked, he found someone to subcontract the filming to. I was already pleased with the experience, but then we got the videos…they came out so much better than I could have imagined! The 5min highlight film and 30min documentary edit were edited so beautifully and gave us exactly what we wanted to be able to share the ceremony, speeches, and other highlights from the day with all our family and friends who couldn’t be there!
Michael was very professional and helped make us feel comfortable. His work was beautiful and we loved the end result!
Michael did such a beautiful job with our highlight video for our wedding. He drove from farther away and was early for our morning outdoor wedding. He took all changes we wanted to the video and promptly made them and worked with us . Not many changes were needed though.. he nailed it the first time . Michael is also such a sweet person and he genuinely was happy to witness the wedding. He has the perfect energy about him for our private ceremony. I recommend Michael 100 percent .
Michael perfectly captures our day to allow us to share with friends and family who weren’t able to be at our ceremony. We are so grateful for him!
Loved working with Mike! He was so enthusiastic during the wedding day and worked very well with our photographer. Was very respectful during our church ceremony as they had strict rules about where photographer/videographer could be in the church and he still got beautiful shots of our ceremony. We received our video in a very timely manner and he is very prompt while answering emails. You can't go wrong with him as your videographer!
