About

Sweet Thunder Productions is a Maine-based video production company operating since 2009. Conveniently located in Central Maine, Sweet Thunder travels to all points of Maine to capture your day - from the Bar Harbor Region to Western and Southern Maine, and every point in between.

Reliving your wedding day is the goal of having a videographer at your wedding, and Sweet Thunder's goal is to provide a high quality, remarkable video focusing on you and what is happening around you. No two weddings are alike. Each wedding is unique just like each couple. Owner Lee Arnott works in a quiet, unobstructed manner; she works closely with your photographer, DJ or Band, and your event planner, while always focusing on what is unfolding in front of the lens.

Experience

Lee is the primary videographer and editor for all productions at Sweet Thunder since 2009 when she opened her business. She is a visual storyteller. She holds a BS in Mass Communications with a Concentration in Film from Emerson College, and she continues to take classes at Maine Media Workshops to stay up-to-date on trends, software, and equipment. Her work has been featured on MPBN and she has received national video awards. Lee listens to couples to find out what their vision is, what is important to them and then captures all the important details (big and small) on the wedding day.

Affordable, Easy to work with, Quality!

Lee was wonderful to work with. She was one of the more affordable options we found and produced exactly what we were hoping for, which was a full video of the ceremony and speeches to share with loved ones who were unable to make it to our wedding. We weren't as focused on flashy highlight videos, but did love the 3 minute highlight video she created. I would definitely recommend Lee to anyone getting married in Maine and looking for a videographer to document the day.

Highly recommend!

From the very beginning of working together, Lee was ready to answer any questions we had. We talked a couple of times before the wedding and each time she was a pleasure to talk to! On the day of the wedding, she was calming and very kind. It was never awkward or uncomfortable to be in front of the camera. And our wedding video! Oh my goodness it was so beautiful and we are so thankful for Lee for capturing our day! Highly recommend!

You won’t regret hiring this vendor!

Lee was amazing! She paid so much attention to all of the small details I would have overlooked and forgotten about if it wasn’t for her capturing it on camera! She was always in contact to discuss any questions I had, and to make sure she had every single detail. It was so nice having Lee capture our special day. To any future brides, don’t think, just hire Lee! You won’t regret it!

Lee communicates each step of the process with you so everything is clear. Her price was also very reasonable. We couldn’t be happier with the video we received! She did a wonderful job capturing the memories of our wedding day and we’re grateful to have it on film. We are appreciative for all of her hard work, especially since we contacted her with a very short notice. I highly recommend Sweet Thunder Productions!

We had a great experience working with Lee! Would highly recommend her. She was very responsive over email and phone, showed up early to get her equipment set up before everything got started, did a great job filming, kept us in the loop on her progress getting everything edited, and the finished product was amazing!!

Lee at Sweet Thunder Productions is amazing!! She is reasonably priced and worth every penny!! We just received our wedding video in the mail and I am in love! It was great to see everything I was unable to see during the wedding! It will be a great memento to look back on for many years. Thanks again the Sweet Thunder Productions for capturing our special day so perfectly!!

We booked Lee at Sweet Thunder Productions for our July 2017 wedding and are beyond happy with this choice! Lee was very responsive and asked all the right questions to make sure that our video met our expectations. Our friends and family members, as well as my husband and I are very impressed with the results. Lee did an excellent job at capturing every aspect of our special day while being very discrete. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a videographer for a Maine wedding!

We had such a great experience with Lee and I am so glad that we now have all of the memories from our wedding at our fingertips. She is incredibly responsive, organized, and the dvd is put together so nicely. My now husband and I would highly recommend Lee, we are very lucky that she was available for our July wedding.
