Don't think about it, Just hire him!!

Michael did a great day at capturing our day and not only that but truly capturing the emotions and the feelings throughout the day. He came with great ideas, he was flexible with last minute add ons/upgrades to our package. He has such a positive vibe and has a very calming presence on your wedding day! He delivered our preview and video sooner than expected which was a lovely surprise. Both videos make us emotional every time we watch them and we will cherish them forever. We hired Michael because of the way he masterfully captures the day and somehow makes a seamless/flawless video that tells the story of your love so beautifully. If you are thinking about booking him, do it! You wont regret it!!

The best!

WOW, where do I even begin! Michael is such a genuine human being that is so fun and easy going. He came highly recommended from our wedding photographer when we were originally searching for a wedding videographer. Once I saw his work, I knew we had to look no further. From our first interaction, Michael was so bubbly, outgoing, and intentional. He is the kind of person who immediately makes you feel excited for what's to come and someone you know you can trust to give you their all and he did just that! Michael's work truly speaks for itself, it's timeless, beautiful, and purely captivating! I have had numerous people tell me just from the short "teaser" film that it is "some of the best work they've ever seen!" I can't wait to receive the rest of our footage, I know it will be something we treasure for the rest of our lives! Michael, we are so grateful to you! Thank you for everything!

Highly Recommend Michael!

Michael Lemley Films came highly recommended by our wedding photographers (Luke & Ashley Photography), and from the moment we met Michael, we knew he was the perfect person to capture our wedding day.

Michael was an absolute joy to work with. He is thoughtful, genuine, incredibly responsive, and so personable. He truly cares about his clients and took the time to get to know us as a couple, learning our love story so he could perfectly share it on film.

The final videos — the social media teaser and 6–8 minute handcrafted film — were absolutely stunning and far beyond anything we could have hoped for. Every emotion, detail, and special moment was captured so beautifully.

We feel so lucky to have worked with Michael and are incredibly grateful. We cannot recommend him enough to anyone looking for a wedding videographer!

Michael is incredible!

From the moment we met, Michael brought such a calming, joyful energy to our wedding day. He captured every moment with artistry and attention to detail — from the emotional vows to the spontaneous dance floor fun.

The final video was beyond anything we imagined. It felt cinematic yet deeply personal, and we’ve watched it more times than we can count. Our families and friends were blown away by how beautifully it told the story of our day.

If you're looking for someone who’s not only talented but also kind, professional, and genuinely passionate about their craft, look no further. We’re so grateful to have had Michael as part of our wedding team — truly unforgettable!

Best vendor EVER!

Michael was someone we knew we wanted from the start! He is one of the vendors that we truly connected with and what we wanted for our wedding! Michael made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire wedding planning process and always made it a point to pray over us which is something truly so special to us! He did an amazing job of capturing who we really are and making our wedding vision come to life! If we had to go back and do it all over again, we would be picking Michael every single time! Michael, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our day so special! We love you!

Best Wedding Film Ever

Michael exceeded all of our expectations for our wedding day film experience. Leading up to our day, we met several times over video call to create a vision and for us to get to know one another. We could feel Michael truly wanted to learn about our journey together to help him develop a video perfectly representative of us. He is such a joy to be around and has a calming presence. Michael has such creative ideas but also values letting the couple be in the moment. Watching the film, we found ourselves thinking “WHEN DID HE GET THIS?”. There were times we didn’t even notice he was capturing certain moments and that speaks to the authenticity of his work. We will be watching our video on repeat and can’t wait to show our children in the future. We truly cannot recommend Michael enough.

Cinematic, Jesus-loving, Emotional, Dreamy and AMAZING!!!

WOW where do I even begin with Michael! The year with him leading up to our wedding was beyond exceptional, from our engagement adventure session with him the summer before our wedding all the way up to the big day, to our bridals sessions following our wedding day he was always there for us and truly listen to our wedding visions and made our visions come to life. All of our videos we received were dreamy, romantic, emotional, cinematic and candid. Michael poured his love of Jesus in his work and you could see that in all of our videos! Michael is an inspirational videographer and such a sweet friend of ours now and we are so grateful he was our wedding videographer! He was ON IT all day and night! I am so thankful he was because it was pretty chaotic. My childhood dog passed away the night before the wedding and it downpoured all morning and for cocktail hour, so you could say emotions were all over the place for us. He prayed with us to calm nerves and allowed me space to be emotional and hyped me up and then delivered the most beautiful wedding videos that brought me to happy tears! His epic wedding videos outshined the rain on our wedding day and we are so blessed. Love him and his work! Hire him! :)

Best videographer ever!

We were absolutely AMAZED with Michael’s work. We knew he was talented by looking at his social media but he still managed to exceed our expectations. Our wedding video sneak peak was everything we had hoped for and more. Also, not only is Michael artistic, he is extremely personable! He took the time to not just meet us but really get to know us and our story. We would recommend Michael 1000x over. This is a video we will cherish for years to come and will be showing our grandkids one day.

Michael is the BEST!!

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Michael for both an engagement/adventure shoot and then our wedding day. Throughout the entire process, Michael was absolutely incredible! Though we worked with him for just those two days, Michael did a wonderful job of making us feel comfortable and natural on camera. His shooting was thorough and intentional, capturing every moment from several angles, without feeling staged or disruptive. The final film was stunning! He did a fantastic job of seamlessly editing together so many lovely shots from both our engagement shoot and our wedding, synced with our first touch letter reading and wedding vows. Our wedding film truly captured "us" and we will forever be grateful to Michael for creating something we can cherish together for a lifetime!

The best vendor!

Cannot express how much we loved Michael! My husband and I went back and forth about whether we needed/wanted a videographer for 2 months - he was the last vendor we booked. I didn't do much research but happened to come across Michael's instagram page and fell in love with his videos. We did a video consult and right off the bat, Michael is so sweet, friendly and personable. He was very thorough in making sure he got to know us, our personalities, our story - he genuinely connected with us. The day of the wedding was the best part - Michael was like our best friend for the day and honestly was such a joy to be around. I am a bit camera shy and I tend to get a little awkward but Michael made it so comfortable and easy for me to be myself. When we received our full film, my husband and I were in tears and SO happy with how it came out. Michael really highlighted the relationship we have and how amazing that day was for us. Overall, if you're looking for someone who is passionate about what they do and truly cares about the people they meet, we highly recommend Michael! :)
