You NEED to hire L. John Morelli!!

John and his team were amazing on our wedding day (6/17/23). John is extremely professional and precise. From our first meeting over the phone to this very day, communication with John was easy - probably the easiest of all of my vendors.

My husband is extremely camera shy and John made sure that he barely knew he was there. While we were away on our honeymoon, John reached out with some sneak peak videos - we were able to relive the day while sitting in paradise. His work is absolutely amazing; within a couple of weeks, we had separate video clips of our first look, first dance, ceremony and then we had an AMAZING full video of the entire day. We are able to relive the day perfectly thanks to John. You absolutely WANT and NEED John and his team at your event. I promise you that. P.S. - Don't sleep on the drone, you'll need one of those too!!

Better than I could have asked for!

When I booked my photographer for our wedding I wasn’t even thinking of a videographer. Turns out about 6 months before our wedding my wife decided she wanted to video the wedding also. Our photographer put us in touch with John at LJM and what an amazing recommendation. First off, John explained everything and his professionalism on what to expect was nothing short of perfect. He brought all his equipment and took videos of everything. For our wedding it was just John, and I was worried about how he was going to get everything, but he was everywhere and no where. He was never in the way, his equipment was top notch and never noticed and the quality and scenes he videos made me wonder if I was even at my own wedding. John shared we would have a trailer in 2-4 weeks and to the day he was sending us proofs to review. The best part about working with John was his creativity. We gave John creative rights and when our videos were done, any changes we wanted to make were welcomed. He wanted our videos to reflect how perfect our day actually was and took his job very seriously and professionally. After changes were made, we reviewed and they were finalized within 24 hours. The wedding trailer for social media as amazing, John’s communication was amazing, his expectations and involvement were everything you want. Someone to be knowledgeable and aware but not over burdening and he balanced it out.  Furthermore his relationship with out photographer Marc Solomon was like two brothers who had been doing this for a long time. They complemented eachother well and created scenes and scenarios for our photos and video that made it perfect. I could not have asked for a better videographer. Thank you LJM!

5 star Wedding Videographer

John was the first vendor we booked for our wedding because we were absolutely certain he was the perfect fit for us. We wanted more than a 20 min highlight video of our wedding that most of the other vendors we saw were providing. John has a passion for film making which made him stand out. He was very responsive to all questions we had leading up to the wedding. The final video exceeded our expectations—cinematic, emotional, and perfectly edited. Every special moment was captured so beautifully, and watching it brings back all the joy and love from our big day.

If you’re looking for a wedding videographer who truly cares about their work and delivers stunning results, look no further. Highly recommend!

John was truly a gift and the best service we hired!

Finding John to be our videographer was truly a gift. I had a specific vision of what I was looking for in my wedding video, I wanted it to feel real and authentic. When I found example videos from John, I knew his style was exactly what I was looking for! From my first interaction with him, he was so knowledgeable, helpful, and flexible. He was the vendor I was most excited about going into my wedding day. On the day of, John was early, and his crew was more than helpful. They kept the day feeling light and we couldn't even tell they were there, aside from his team member basically being MY assistant, carrying my dress for me so it wouldn't drag on the floor, holding doors for me, holding my flowers, and more. John & his team went above and beyond what I could have imagined, and I am over the moon with my video. We got our first sneak peak almost immediately & while we were on our honeymoon and it was the best feeling getting to rewatch special moments so soon. John was asking for feedback/edit requests along the way to make it perfect for us and I can't wait to share it with my family members who weren't able to attend the wedding, and to watch for years to come. Thank you so much, John!!

John was the best! Made our special day even better! He’s such a great director and captured every moment. His video editing as well is superb and we can’t thank him enough! We will always be able to relive the happiest day of our lives. He was very easy to talk to as well and before the wedding made us feel confident! Simply the best!!

Best vendor!

We could not be happier with our choice of hiring John Morelli as the videographer for their September wedding. Every so often I am pleasantly surprised and thankful that a vendor not only keeps his promises but goes the extra mile.

His work is creative and beautiful. He puts his heart and expertise into capturing the specialness of the day. He was the first vendor to show up in the morning and the last one to leave at the end of the evening. Before and during the event he gives 100%+. He is kind, caring, calming, dependable, hardworking and delivers! There is no chasing him down leading up to the event or once it is over. He proactively sends clips quickly as they are ready, seeking feedback, requests, and suggestions as he only wants you to be happy with what he creates.

He is amazing and I would highly recommend him to anyone that is looking for a videographer!

Expert videography

We first reached out to John the day before our wedding. Without any hesitation, he agreed to be our videographer. He was continuously responsive, making preparations and confirming with us how we wanted our wedding to be shot. On the day of the wedding, he showed up early and provided a drone to capture the ceremony. Throughout the day, he was quick to capture the best moments and was not afraid to get into the mix during the reception. After the wedding, he worked diligently to edit and finalize the videos, sending us samples of his work so that we could get a sense of what the final video would look like and suggest any changes. Our final video was beautiful and succinctly captured the most memorable moments from the wedding with seamless transitions. He also provided us with the raw footage on our own flash drive. John is an incredible videographer who is up for any challenge, and we recommend his expertise at any event.

Exceptional video

John and his team shot our wedding last October. The day was beautiful and they caught hidden moments that were perfect. Really caught our personalities where photos don’t always. My Husband and I would highly recommend him to anyone. He even shot my sister-in -laws wedding as well.
