Barry and Michelle were so attentive throughout our wedding planning process. They listened to our vision and helped us develop a video that we will cherish forever. Their professionalism and timeliness on the day of our wedding was nothing short of outstanding. They captured so many details and moments about our day that we felt we had missed in the moment and it was so special to look back and see all of those special moments and our wonderful guests having such a great time during our day. On top of that, they are so incredibly sweet and helped us feel so calm during the day which my husband and I both needed. I highly recommend Wortz Media for any and all of your videography needs!!

s’ day the best it can be! Also, we couldn’t be happier with the footage and moments that they captured. Their communication made everything so easy and stress-free for us, which was a big deal - who knew wedding days could be so crazy?! I HIGHLY recommend Wortz Media to anyone/everyone with any event now, as there are certain moments that only video can really catch. Not to mention, the sound and quality of the videos is superb. I had pretty high expectations based on what other people’s wedding videos looked like when just perusing normal social media, and they went above and beyond in their service! Please! Do yourself a favor and hire this amazing duo to capture the beauty of your wedding day.

Wortz Media was outstanding. We would recommend them to everyone as Barry and Michelle arrived early to capture footage with their drone and record the wedding party getting ready....
Then made sure to record every moment of both the ceremony and reception. As the videos were amazing and the highlight video was so well put together. We recommend them for any special day you need recorded. As we look forward to booking with Wortz Media for future events

Outstanding. We lost our wedding in 2020 due to all the closures especially in Colorado. We lost 10k. It took 2.5 years, and having a baby, but Barry and wife made the dream to mar...
ry happen for us
I can’t express how thankful I am for his options for packages and affordability. He went out of this way to help capture the wedding
They even fixed the DJ mistakes with the music cutting out. He didn’t have to but I immediate noticed that.
They are good ethical and moral people that I can’t recommend enough to hire
Without them the wedding would have still happened but to have the video now is priceless and knowing that it was captured professionally and not lost in translation is key
If you need a videographer I can’t recommend them enough. They work with you on every aspect. They are personal, easy with payments, and overall great at what they do
Don’t hire expensive because you think that means you get the best don’t believe that - hire the right people with the talent. Barry and wife are these people and overall care
I love the video and I love every aspect of the wedding portions they took. I use to be a videographer a long time ago and I know quality. I haven’t done it in years but I know what it takes the shots and angles along with capturing the right moments and still make you look perfect during the big day
They work is flawless
