Such a wonderful experience!

It was an absolute PLEASURE to work with John for our wedding in June. He was so kind, and the wedding teaser he gave us made everyone cry. He has a beautiful eye for visuals, and I'm so lucky to have found him. I can't wait to receive my full video from him, but I'm writing this review now because I already know it will be amazing. Thank you so much John!

Amazing Wedding videographer

From the initial contact call to our Wedding day working with John was an amazing experience. John was with us throughout the entire day of our wedding. We loved our highlight video, our ceremony footage and the video that included all the dances and speeches of our wedding. All the videos were shot with a lot of detail. John knows how to capture key moments, that allow us to relive our wedding day, we couldn’t be happier! Many people don’t hire videographers anymore, but there is nothing like being able to relive such an important day. John does an amazing job capturing everything and provides great package deals, he was worth every penny!

AMAZING videographer!

If you’re in need of videography, look no further. John is insanely talented and our video turned out even better than we could have hoped for. And receiving the raw footage of our first dances, speeches, and ceremony was SO special. John truly captured our personalities and the joy we experienced throughout the day. He was also very discreet - it was amazing some of the footage he was able to capture without us even realizing. It was worth every penny and I would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat!

Our Favorite Wedding Vendor - Hands Down!

John and the Mid 80s team did such an incredible job of capturing such cherished moments on our wedding day. From the planning process to the actual wedding day to receiving the videos, we were absolutely blown away. The videos we received were so amazing and the editing was superb. We were so glad to be able to relive the day by watching them. On the wedding day itself, John was seamless in coordinating with our other vendors (especially our photographer). He has a calming demeanor and was so encouraging whenever we finished a shot. My husband and I have agreed that Mid 80s was hands-down our favorite wedding vendor. Whether you live in/around the Baltimore area or you live out of town and are planning your destination wedding in Maryland, don't hesitate to hire Mid 80s Media to make your day go above and beyond!

John is more than a wedding videographer- hes an artist!

I cannot recommend John enough! He is an incredibly talented and creative videographer who captured our wedding day perfectly. From start to finish, John was professional, friendly, and a pleasure to work with. He took the time to understand our vision for the day and went above and beyond to make sure that every moment was captured on film.

The final result was nothing short of amazing. John's editing skills are second to none, and he truly made us look like the stars of a movie! The film he created is simply breathtaking and everyone who has seen it has been blown away. It's clear that John has a real talent for storytelling through film, and we are so grateful that he was there to capture our special day.

In addition to his creativity and skill, John was also incredibly fast. We received both our movie and raw footage back in record time, which was a huge relief. It's clear that John takes great pride in his work and goes above and beyond to make sure his clients are happy.

If you're looking for a wedding videographer who will capture your day in the most beautiful way possible, then look no further than John. He is truly one of a kind and we feel so lucky to have worked with him. Thank you, John, for everything!

Very committed to making sure we had a meaningful wedding keepsake!

When I showed friends and family my wedding video, I received so many messages that said something along the lines of, "every cent you paid for that video was worth it." I am so, so glad we decided to go with John for our videographer. He was very responsive and dedicated so much of his day to filming our wedding. He captured such beautiful shots and made a highlight video we will treasure forever. He was also willing to make a few changes to the highlight video after we saw it for the first time. I cannot recommend him more highly!

Already blown away

I should start by saying we haven't actually received our full wedding video yet, so this review is based on our actual experience with John as well as our social media teaser. I've watched our teaser video about 100 times since receiving it 2 days ago because it's just so cool and I am so impressed. John was a pleasure to work with on our wedding day and he worked really well with our photographers. Also, his pricing is extremely reasonable for the quality he produces. John is a true artist and I couldn't be more excited to see what else he creates for us.

Videographer You Need

John was chill, calm, and happy for our wedding day, which is the energy you want to have around you when it’s go-time. He worked super well with our photographer and knew the footage he was looking for. We haven’t seen the complete video yet, but we know it’s going to be awesome and are super excited to see the final product. Would recommend!

Gorgeous Footage from the Entire Day

John was incredible. Extremely communicative, responsive, and helpful. On top of being great to work with, his actual work is AMAZING. We almost didn’t get a videographer but after hearing from multiple people that they wish they had or that it was their best investment, we decided to take the leap. Seeing John’s portfolio made him a clear choice, as the way he layers high-quality audio recordings with stunning imagery cannot be beat in a highlight video. Seeing these amazing shots from our wedding day playing over the audio of our vows will never stop making me cry. Few videographers also offer raw footage now adays and the footage of our ceremony, speeches, and first dances is so gorgeous it feels like a fully edited film. My brother wrote and officiated our ceremony and I am SO glad I will have that entire thing to watch over and over again and eventually to show our kids. We were truly amazed at the quality and creative vision of his work and are so grateful we hired John.

So Happy We Chose Mid 80s Media!!!

John at Mid 80s Media made an absolutely beautiful highlight reel for us. Our contract also included full but un-edited coverage of all the main events and we were very happy with that as well. Particularly, we appreciated having the full ceremony footage stitched together from two camera angels. John was very easy to work with and was our actual videographer day of. Our video took longer than the contracted time, but John was up front that he was running behind and he was NEVER unresponsive so this didn’t bother us AT ALL. He has been great though the whole process and let us request edits to the highlight film which was very important to me. I would just note that if there are specific day of details you want in your video, make sure to give a list beforehand so everyone is on the same page. Our contract included providing the footage on a hard drive we provided and that worked great. John delivered an exceptional wedding video using quality footage. I expressed that I wanted “epic” music and like the dark/jewel tone looks more than “light and airy” and he hit it right on the head. I am so happy we picked Mid 80’s Media for our wedding. We are very happy customers and I am NOT easily impressed! Some screenshots of my video below. The video is 4K quality even though my screenshots obviously are not!
