About

Welcome!

You are unique and your wedding film should be as well. I filmed my first wedding in 2001, which started as a way to practice my craft with a goal towards making movies. I quickly discovered that I really loved the challenge of capturing something where you can’t do a second take.

I often hear from my clients how their wedding “was just like watching a movie”.

And it’s true, I’m able to express myself creativity through the art of the audio-visual language and apply the classic rules of cinema to my work.

No wedding is alike and each film that I create is different. For me that means I need to be more creative than just having a collection of beautiful shots layered over music. I like to craft a narrative using the audio from the day that is unique to each couple.

My goal is to inspire you with my films. To craft something that is timeless, romantic, fun and everything in between.

Please visit my website to learn more, view my films and get in touch.

Sincerely,

Robert

Andrew and I found Robert of Robert Michael films as we were perusing countless videos on Vimeo in search of a videographer for our wedding day. We landed on one of his wedding films that gave me goosebumps and left us both speechless. After seeing that film, we closed our browser and hoped that our search for our videographer was over. And it was…

Fast forward to our wedding day…

Robert and his assistant, Evan, were so prompt, focused, and professional throughout the entire day. They were so discreet, and we forgot that they were nearby throughout the whole day until we saw our highlight wedding film. Although we enjoyed every minute of it, we were not able to pick up every detail that we had incorporated into our day. Robert of Robert Michael Films captured every moment - including the details - so perfectly.

After our wedding, we were waiting with so much anticipation to see the final film. Robert sent us a teaser while he was still editing the entire highlight film, which only heightened our excitement.

When we finally received the highlight film, we were completely blown away! The beauty of the film brought us both to tears as we watched it for the first time. Thanks to Robert, we will be able to relive this day for a lifetime.

We highly recommend Robert Michael Films, without hesitation, to any bride and groom interested in artistic and timeless footage! We cannot say enough great things about Robert Michael Films. Just simply amazing. Our sincerest gratitude to Robert and his team.

A supremely invaluable part of our wedding memories. If it weren't for Robert's attention to details, keen eye for beauty, and indisputable creativity, our wedding memories would not exist as they do. So incredibly happy to have proceeded with a cinematographer!

Best videographer ever! Robert and his partner were true professionals throughout the entire wedding. We were already big fans of his previous work from his website. Once we saw the final product for our wedding we were amazed! It is truly amazing how he put all the moments from our ceremony, photo-shoot and reception in to an awesome highlight real. We are 100% satisfied with the final product. Thank you Robert!

Working with Robert was the best experience we could have hoped for. From our first interview at a local Starbucks, to our Love Story video on Balboa Island, through the big day at Walnut Grove in Moorpark, we had complete confidence in Robert's vision and skill, and we were consistently blown away by the videos he produced. Every conversation was a pleasure, and we and our families are so in love with the videos he created, which we will cherish forever. We recommend Robert Michael Films with highest confidence.

One of the best vendor choices we made for our wedding was Robert for videographer. We wanted emotive footage, but didn’t want an over-the-top weepy, “Disney film” with sappy music. Our wedding was on April 1st, so of course we played the pranksters a bit and wanted our video to also capture the joy and silliness we shared with our friends and family. We looked at so many demo reels on-line, received quotes from several videographers and only met with Robert. We really loved his work. The only other vendor we were considering meeting with had a great price tag (including drone footage) but was insistent on his winning formula/package and wouldn’t budge at all in terms of tweaking some of the deliverables. This other vendor also wouldn’t meet us half way; we would have had to drive 50 miles to meet him in person. Robert was anything but, very flexible and friendly. He met half way between us (about 20 miles). He listened to our vision of the day, the footage we were hoping to capture (including a modified “Love Story” interview on the wedding day). He incorporated what he could on our wedding day and was very clear and up front about what would be difficult to capture. Robert really went above-and-beyond in delivering all the footage and finished product, including some formatting issues with my computer reading the files. This guy is a reliable professional but also a great artist. I don’t know how you could go wrong with Robert.

Robert and his services provided more than what we can ask for. He was easy to work with and responded to our emails promptly. Additionally, he provided raw footage of our reception at our request at no additional cost. I highly recommend anyone who is looking for a creative and experienced videographer. He made our wedding a wonderful and memorable experience.

We can't believe the quality of our wedding video that Robert so skillfully captured. We found Robert by luck. We had two ceremonies, one East Indian and one American, in one day!!! Not only did Robert and his team capture both of the ceremonies and reception, the video we saw was so emotional and beautiful that all our friends and family fell in love with it! The videos help us relive the great moments of our wedding day. We had a beautiful location but it started raining that day. Even then the lighting was amazing, the editing was on point and the drone capture provided the breathtaking ariel view of the location. We couldn't be happier with the end products. We highly recommend Robert and his team. Thank you, Robert Michael Films!!!

Robert not only created a beautiful wedding video, but he worked right along side our photographer making the entire experience so amazing! After the wedding he never complained about the hundreds of emails I sent him asking to change the littlest things in our video. If I didn't like the way I looked in a scene or preferred a different scene in its place he would immediately make all those changes. He worked with me until my video was exactly how I wanted it, down to the very last second!

What Robert created with our wedding video, in just under two months, should be submitted for an award to a short film festival. I could very well be biased because it was my wedding video, but I am probably the most harsh critic when it comes to film. what is incredible, aside from the shots and the editing, is the tone and voice he used. He was able to capture every moment throughout the weekend with a lens that only a true auteur could accomplish. If you want a wedding videographer that just gets the night then get someone else. If you want a wedding videographer that can give you the purity, the essence, and the moments of the night, then Robert Michael Films is your best choice. From cost to equipment to hours to deliverables, Robert is by far better than anyone out there. Trust me, I went through close to 50 wedding videos on Vimeo and made calls to 10 wedding videographers.

Robert, thank you is an understatement for what you have given my wife, my family, my friends, and my future children.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
