Exceptional!

We had the most amazing experience with this company from start to finish! We worked with Zach George and his second shooter, Simion Collins, who were both AMAZING the entire process. They were so receptive to our vision and even attended our rehearsal to plan for the best shots of the venue. They helped guide us through some incredible moments while getting ready for the wedding and truly just felt like a fantastic friend in the room. During the ceremony and reception, we hardly noticed them as they gracefully and discreetly captured every moment. We couldn't recommend this company enough!

HIRE Squirrel Films

When your videographer makes you feel like your wedding is the wedding of the century, you know you’ve selected the right one. Mike was genuinely interested in being at our wedding and getting to know our family. He is personable, easy to work with and willing to help in any way needed. His attention to detail and clear expectations for the day resulted in a spectacular video - an absolute treasure that will be shared and cherished for a lifetime.

Mike has the ability to capture the most perfect and personal moments that will leave you speechless. He made the day so easy and calming; we didn’t have to worry about one thing. When watching his video, it makes us feel like we are right back in the moment. The ability to re-live such a sweet and special time is a remarkable thing for us as the bride and groom and for our family. Exceptional work, and we thank you!

Wedding Video

Mike did an incredible job. Hands down this was the best money we spent on our wedding day. After the weekend ends the video is really all you have left of live footage to remember such a special day. I have been and will continue to highly recommend Squirrel to any futures brides to be!

Hire this videographer

Before I even got engaged I knew I wanted a videographer - and once the engagement happened I had to convince my future husband we needed a videographer too! My husband and I are a dual mil couple stationed apart so finding time to "meet" our vendors was hard. Mike took time out of his day to FaceTime us to tell us all about his business and even show us past videos. He was willing to edit the contract due to military obligations that could of came up (and thankfully didn't). From the time we booked him until the day we got married I would be constantly refreshing his Vimeo page to see what other weddings he had done - and I was so excited for him to capture our big day. Our highlight video was phenomenal and so many people commented that it was the best they ever saw- Mike was able to capture our raw emotions! Our full video was just icing on the cake - it had our actual wedding music in it which made it even better. We are so pleased with Mike's work, because of him we can relive our wedding day over and over again!

100% worth it

I hired Mike to do the videography for our wedding in May of last year. I had been on the fence about having a videographer at all since we already had a great photographer lined up, but I am SO glad we did. Mike did such an amazing job with our video and I can't imagine not having the footage he captured. He turned around our mini highlight in literally ONE DAY after the wedding and it was beautiful. Having a videographer is 100% worth the money and I highly recommend Mike & Squirrel Films.

Hands down the BEST

My husband and I were beyond excited to have Squirrel Films capture our wedding day. They are an EXTREMELY talented team that truly knows how to capture your wedding day in ways you couldn't dream possible. We LOVE our video and how it floods back all of our favorite memories and feelings we experienced on our big day.

Mike is unlike other videographers in many ways. He is personable, easy going, dedicated, and shows great attention to detail. Along with being incredibly talented, Mike is very responsive and will provide you with your highlight video within a few days so you are able to relive the best day of your life over and over again.

We absolutely love Squirrel Films and highly recommend them!!!

100% worth it !!!

Squirrel films was a pleasure to work with. Mike was great from the beginning. He truly captured the day and presented it within our video. I had one request from him to make sure he got my future husbands reaction as I walked down the aisle... he nailed it. Every time someone is looking for a videographer I always recommend Mike. I couldn’t have been happier with the way things turned out. I’ll have the video forever to share and enjoy watching with my husband.

Mike was very professional throughout the whole process. He was willing to meet when and where it was convenient for us. He answered all questions when needed. Not only did he help with anything we needed but also pointed out great spots for pictures. He knew what light to capture and where we should stand to capture it. I was a bride that did not want someone telling me what to do all day. I have been in weddings where the photographer and videographer were over aggressive and ruined the brides day. HE WAS NOT LIKE THAT. He gave just enough direction for everything to turn out but was not over bearing ! HE DOES AMAZING WORK and IS GREAT TO WORK WITH !!!! Highly recommended.

10/10 would recommend!

Choosing Mike and Squirrel Films was easily one of the best decisions we made on our wedding day! He was professional, timely, and most importantly created the most wonderful keepsake for us to remember our wedding day! I can’t count how many family members and friends have told us how much they enjoyed the highlight film! I would recommend him to any friend getting married without hesitation!

I don’t think I can put in to words how much we appreciated working with Squirrel Films and how blown away we were by the finished product. My groom and father were both skeptical about the need for a videographer, but by the end of the wedding my father was telling me how professional Mike Basch and his crew were and what a great job he felt they had done. I don’t even remember seeing video being taken during the wedding due to his noninvasive filming, but what was captured that day are memories we will treasure for a lifetime. Only being married almost a month, I’d honestly have to say I’ve watched the highlight film at least 30 times and every time it brings me to tears with how well it captured the beauty and emotion of the day. We just watched our full version this past Sunday and it was so incredibly neat to see the wedding from the outside looking in, as the day itself was a whirlwind. My husband agrees that Mike captured all the details so well and it is something that we can watch together each year and fully bring us back to the best day of our lives. I told Mike I may need to have him come film more life events, just so we can have future memories captured so well.

We were on the fence about getting a videographer. But there are absolutely no words to describe how happy we are having Squirrel Films on hand to capture our day. Not only is Mike professional and incredibly talented, but he is genuinely passionate about what he does and is excited to capture your love story and all the fun of your big day. After the first few conversations, Mike felt more like a friend than a vendor, which makes all the difference. Mike and his team knew where to be, how to get all the most beautiful shots, and produced a video that is not your run of the mill, canned "wedding video." He put together a work of art with SO much emotion and detail that watching it just transports us back to the joy of our wedding day. We can't say enough positive things about the work Mike does. Wow, wow, wow. Best decision we made.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
