I cannot say enough positive things about Mike Verenini and the Lovecraft Productions team! I waited probably a little later than I should have when picking out a videographer for my wedding. All the local videographers that my planner, venue, and photographer recommended were either booked or I did not like their style. In a late night internet search, I ended up coming across Lovecraft Productions and I really loved his beautiful videos. I was a little worried because he had never been to my venue before but he ended up being a fantastic choice! Mike was so great to work with throughout the planning process. He was VERY fast to respond to my initial request (like within 5 minutes at midnight) and any follow up questions. He also made the payment and contract signing process easy – it was all complete within a couple days of initially reaching out to him. I compared a lot of videographers (and watched hundreds of wedding videos) and for the quality of his filming his prices are definitely worth it. It was also important for me to have the raw footage, which was a service he offered that not all videographers would. He was even able to adjust the pricing of one of his packages to include the raw footage and remove the “sneak peek” Instagram video, as posting immediately to social media was not important to me. About a month before the wedding we talked on the phone and I sent him a general idea of wedding timeline and details about my unique venue. On wedding day, Mike came early with an assistant cameraman to set up and make sure he got all the right shots and nothing was missed! He took some great drone footage of the farm as well. Videography is inherently a little more of a production than photography, but Mike and his assistant were not too intrusive on wedding day, while still getting the shots they needed. After the wedding, once Mike started the editing process he reached out about songs we would like included in the final video. Mike was able to include all of the songs we requested, which made the video very personal to watch. I really appreciated this as I have heard of other videographers not using the requested music and just picking what they think is best. Within two months of the wedding, the highlights video was finished and posted. It was so beautiful, the filming was ethereal, and I felt like a movie star! Mike later sent a very sweet package with the full footage and some extra treats. Watching the full movie with my husband and later friends and family was emotional and it will be something I treasure for years to come. Mike was a pleasure to work with and I cannot recommend Lovecraft Productions enough. Do not be hesitant about spending money on a videographer as this is a vendor many brides regret not hiring and you will NOT be disappointed!

My now-husband and I were on the fence about hiring out a videographer for our wedding; it was something I felt passionately about, but the financial investment is undoubtedly considerable. I also felt many of the more affordable options for videography really lacked in quality of production (not surprisingly, I guess) and/or delivered only a 5-minute trailer of the whole day, which just didn’t feel worth it to me.

That all said, after connecting with probably 15 videographers (some of which had prices as high as $12K, *eyerolllllll*), my photographer recommended Mike and the Lovecraft team. WOW!… am I happy he led me to this group! Lovecraft’s production quality is truly top-notch and shooting style is breathtaking! Mike is so welcoming and easy to work with, no matter what stage of the wedding planning process you’re in. For our wedding, we had two shooters, including drone footage, and Mike and team were able to capture so much, while still seemingly being invisible during all the festivities. The final products (a 1-minute Instagram teaser, a 5-minute trailer, and a 45-minute feature film) were some of the best I’ve seen; all our family and friends cannot stop talking about how fabulous the work Mike and team produced for us is! Honestly, Lovecraft Productions was the best investment we made in capturing our wedding day – I cannot imagine not having this footage to reminisce on for decades to come!

When I first began my search for a wedding videographer I knew that I wanted only the best because this was the only way I would be able to relive that day. So for me, having a highly talented, professional, experienced and knowledgeable videographer was crucial. After my first conversation with Mike, (which mind you wasn’t short because I have a lot of questions), I was pretty sure this was a great fit! And Mike took the time to answer and explain things in full.
All of our requests were fulfilled and Lovecraft went above and beyond to make sure that happened. The mastery and flow of the film is amazing!!! Lovecraft does not disappoint. We highly recommend booking them for your wedding if you want true quality work!
