    The best team out there for photography/videography

    Mood did such an amazing job on our engagement session! I came across Mood as I was browsing through my instagram feed and was immediately drawn to their work. I am very picky when it comes to photographer/cinematographer and very particular with what I wanted. I had my planner reached out to Mood and we were able to get in touch with Mike. Mike was very kind and informative- he was able to answer all of our questions and went through all the details. After telling Mike about our vision and our save-the-date video, he made sure I would get the lead photographer/videographer, which is Mike himself and Troy. Both were professional and wonderful to work with. My fiancé and I were very nervous on the day of the photo shoot but the two gentlemen made us feel comfortable and walked us through all the poses. In addition to being detail oriented and meticulously in their craft, they were easy to work with. Another bonus is they delivered the video along with some photos in a timely fashion! While watching the clip I was so excited and beyond happy knowing that I have something unique and customized to my likings. I remember telling my fiancé I don’t think I would be this pleased if I were to work with someone else. I am beyond grateful for their work and cannot wait for them to shoot our wedding day.

    Mood Photo & Video's reply:

    Angie,

    Thank you so much for your kind words! We had a blast with you guys and are so pleased to have you both as a client. Thank you for working with us and we look forward to the wedding. I was so excited to shoot the save the date video along with the studio e-shoot. You both did so great and we're so happy with the final result. Thank you! Mike

    Mood Photo and Video

    Mood has done multiple weddings for people in my community, so I knew that I would be in good hands! I hired mood for my engagement and wedding day, and so far how well the engagement shoot went has compelled me to write this review. My hair (naturally super curly) was straightened and curled that day for our shoot, but due to overcast weather, my hair frizzed beyond control. Meagan was able to calm me down, and take breathtaking photos! I was so worried the shoot wouldn’t have came out good, but I was so wrong! Meagan was great to work out and very talented. I can’t wait to see how the wedding photos turn out!

    Thank you MOOD!

    MOOD shot my brother in law's wedding last year and when I proposed to my now fiance, we knew right away that we had one vendor down. Meagan has been very helpful and included both my fiance and I in the entire process. 

    Eddie shot our engagement shoot last month and we were blown away by how great our photos came out. Your wedding photographer is one of the most important vendors you will book and if you're looking for high quality, original and beautiful photos, MOOD is it. 

    We are so excited for MOOD to shoot our wedding and to have our special day captured forever by them!

    Best Photographer!

    MOOD shot my brother's wedding in August of last year and after seeing their work first-hand, my fiance and I knew that we couldn't go with anyone else for our wedding. They were the first vendor we booked after our venue and we could not be happier with them.

    To start, Meagan is so thorough and helps you get really clear from day one on all expectations. She has been incredibly easy to communicate with and always answers all my questions and helps make everything we request happen. 

    We had our engagement shoot in December with Eddie and our photos are simply amazing. Even though we shot at 1 location, it seems like we were at 5 different places because Eddie knows exactly what to do to change it up. We shot at the beach and I was always hesitant to do the beach because I didn't want a "typical" engagement shoot, but our photos are anything but ordinary. 

    We didn't go into the shoot with any ideas on what we wanted, we simply let Eddie guide us and it was the best thing we could have done. 

    If you are looking for a photographer or videographer that does high quality work, is easy to work with and communicate, and will capture your most important life milestones perfectly, then definitely consider MOOD.

    MOOD will be shooting our wedding in July and I have so much peace of mind knowing that our photos - one of the only things you get to keep after your wedding is over - will be perfect. 

    We can't thank MOOD & every team member enough!

    The best experience

    Originally, our wedding planner sent us a group of photographers, but we noticed there wasn’t any versatility of different cultures and races. So we took it upon ourselves to find another photographer. We came across Mood on Inatagram and we knew we had to have them! On our first meeting, everyone was extremely nice and welcoming. Their studio was spotless and felt like home. They showed us their work and it was truly unmatched! Plus, it was right in our budget.

    The day of the engagement shoot, we had the pleasure of shooting with Mike and Kim. Mike was super funny and made us feel comfortable with each other and with him as well. It was a lots of laughs and we all had great chemistry with each other. We received our photos really quick and we’re so in love with how they came out! We can’t wait for them to shoot our wedding day!

    Unbelievable


    Mike and his staff were absolutely amazing. Having a destination wedding poses so many issues, especially when the bride and groom live across the country.

    However, Mike and his team were always accessible and very accommodating to all of our needs. They took the time to try and understand the vision we had for the type of photos and shots we wanted to capture.

    When the weather falls short, trust in Mood

    Mood shot the engagement shoot for my fiance and I.
    On the day of the shoot the weather was bleek and our mood was dreadful. Though our emotions were falling short, Meagan kept her professionalism and restored our faith in ourselves. The end result was a beautiful set of photos that we cannot be more proud of.

    perfection, dependable, and stressfree

    This team can anticipate your needs! On a wedding day with so many stressful moving parts, it is so comforting to have a professional team that is dependable, which relieves the stress, knows how to calmly communicate with the venue and the wedding party, and delivers the perfect result. Mike is also on another level and is an elite photographer.
    Once you write your check, you won't have to worry about the rest, MOOD will deliver!

    Garrick, thank you so much for the feedback. We had a great time at your event and just loved working with you both!

    Beautiful experience!!

    This was such a great experience from the moment we met our photographer Meagan in their studio. She helped create and revise multiple timelines for the day which really helped keep my sanity. The day of, she and Kevin both made us feel so at ease and comfortable. They told us where to be, what to do every moment it was amazing. Now about the photos, they took the most amazing and beautiful photos we couldn't be happier with them. They gave us some many and made sure to capture every detail. I would recommend Mood to anyone looking for the perfect experience.

    Thank you, Mike and the MOOD team, for making our wedding day dream a reality!

    This review is long overdue, but we absolutely cannot rave enough about our favorite photo and video team. Mike and the entire team at MOOD Photo & Video really delivered from start to finish. When we went in for our initial consultation, we were immediately impressed by Mike and Meagan’s focus on our goals for how we envisioned our wedding day would be captured. Mike’s passion for his craft and his eye for artistic composition really stood out, and we greatly appreciated MOOD's willingness to customize a package to meet our specific priorities.

    Our engagement photo shoot with Mike proved a fun and exciting way to prepare for the big day. Mike did a great job of directing us in our poses, but also listened and incorporated our ideas into the shoot. We highly recommend an engagement shoot to help develop your comfort level in front of the camera before the big day. As an added bonus, we were able to use many of those engagement photos in our wedding announcements and decor. On the wedding day itself, the MOOD team was a well-oiled machine that worked seamlessly together to capture every moment without ever being obtrusive. Our family was so impressed by how professional but also flexible they were. After the wedding, we worked closely with Mike and Troy who finalized our photos and videos respectively to perfection.

    Our engagement and wedding photos were absolutely stunning and we couldn’t be happier with the final products. As two people who naturally tend to have our fair share of awkward poses when it comes to photos, we give so much credit to Mike for bringing out the best in us. Also, a huge shout-out to Troy, who worked with us in-person on our highlight edit to ensure that each of our most loved moments was showcased in our reel. As a pair, we are very detail-oriented, and we so especially appreciated how accommodating the MOOD team was in navigating all of our questions along the way and ultimately providing us with the highest quality of work. Thank you to the entire MOOD team for capturing our day in a way that exceeded our expectations!

    Best decision!

    Mike and his team are beyond impressive. I was referred to Mood by a dear friend of mine. From our first meeting, Mike and his entire staff made it a point to explain every detail of what our wedding photography would look like, should we select them. This was extremely valuable since my husband and I had never been married before. Meagan, who leads the front desk, was always available via email or text to answer my numerous questions, even prior to us signing our contract.

    Selecting Mood to do our photography for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. We also had them shoot our engagement photos, which was included in our package. Once we got our engagement photos back, we knew we made the right decision in selecting them. So many wedding photographers take cheesy, cliche engagement photos. Mike and Eddie (Eddie shot our wedding) made our engagement photos feel so unique and special. All of our friends and family were so impressed.

    On the day of our wedding, Eddie and the team went above and beyond. They made my husband and I feel comfortable through some of the most nerving wracking and emotional moments of the day (IE - First look!). We had a large wedding party, and they knew what to do to take the lead and capture some incredible shots. They were able to manage through our loud, unruly relatives and get photos that will be passed down through generations. We truly couldn't be happier with our wedding photos. And, we are so impressed because they had them completed within a month of our wedding!

    We also used Mood for our videography and cannot WAIT to see the completed video!

    Best Decision

    Photos and videos are the only tangible memories we have of our wedding day after everything is all done. It was one of the hardest decisions we had to make in choosing wedding vendors, but it was easily the BEST decision!

    My husband and I really wanted to go with one company for both photo and video, and this company absolutely exceeded our expectations in both!

    Photo: Mike is the most well-rounded photographer you will ever meet. Starting from our engagement pictures, him and Meagan made us feel SO extremely comfortable. Meagan, his assistant, was so easy to contact and made herself so readily available to us in the months/weeks before leading up to our wedding day. They are both so professional but also so personable, which meant a lot to us as it made the whole process that much more enjoyable. Even our family and bridal party kept telling us how much they loved our photographers. They captured the absolute best moments, I seriously can't thank them enough!

    Video: On our consultation day, Troy showed us several types of videos and asked what we were looking for in our wedding video. We discussed key moments and he ABSOLUTELY delivered and captured all the right moments. He did a highlight video as well as a one minute instagram video and, let me just say, they are absolutely perfect! I may or may not have watched it at least 100 times when he sent it lol. It's the best quality, best edit, best memory of our wedding day captured into a video. Aside from the type of quality our wedding video is, Troy is also so extremely professional and so easy to get along with!

    I seriously can't recommend them enough for both photo and video!
