    The memories they captured were beautiful

    This is long overdue, we got married August 2020, our original plans were canceled due to covid. We decided to throw together a small & short, 30 person wedding that was put together about 2 weeks in advance! We reached out to Michael to ask if he could possibly come, the week of!…he responded “yes” even though everything was last minute, it al came together beautifully & Cog Cinema was able to capture some beautiful memories, in the short ceremony & cocktail hour we had. Michael & his assistant were professional & kind. It felt as if though they were meant to be a part of our special day. We absolutely love our video & we will cherish it forever. In the craziness of 2020, they really came through & helped make our day so special.
    Thank you again Cog Cinema

    Best wedding video I could have ever imagined!

    My husband and I highly recommend COG Cinemas. We were so thrilled with the quality of our wedding video! Michael was awesome to work with and the feedback from many friends and families was overwhelmingly outstanding. He captured so many intimate moments beautifully, and overall his video style and the way everything was put together was so unique.

    As I said, you won't regret working with Michael and COG Cinemas. Great quality at a great value, and one of the kindest and down-to-earth people you'll meet.

    Phenomenal!!!

    Michael and his team were absolutely amazing since day one! Michael always answered my questions in a timely manner and did a phenomenal job with our video. We are so pleased with how everything turned out and know it wouldn't have been as amazing if we chose another videographer. Choose Michael and cog cinema! You'll be amazed with his talent and videography skills. Thank you so much Michael! We love being able to relive our special day over and over again. YOU ROCK!

    Great Videographer!

    Michael is a friend of my husband and we are beyond lucky to have a great connection. He captured our wedding day perfectly and worked great along side our photographers. He was willing to come to Northern California for us and we covered his travel expenses in return. The drone footage was also a plus! We are so happy we have these raw emotions caught on video.

    A+ Experience!

    We had a great experience with COG Cinemas--Michael was responsive throughout the planning process and was great on the day-of. We're very grateful to have gotten to work with them!

    The Absolute Best!

    We knew we were making the right choice before even choosing COG as our wedding videographer based on viewing their previous work. But after receiving our wedding video we realized what we were actually getting was PURE MAGIC! First of all it did not feel like working with a video team on our wedding day, it felt like we invited friends who happened to bring their cameras. I honestly felt like these guys saw the best parts of us, our love, our joy, and our family, and they captured it. Our video is STUNNING! I could not have asked for a better experience and certainly could not have asked for a better way to relive our amazing day! I honestly can't say enough wonderful things about these guys. If you want to add to the best day of your life by feeling like friends are creating the most stunning video of your day for you to relive over and over again...then this is the videographer for you. I will send you my video for proof! Thank you COG!!

    Flawless Experience

    These guys were nothing short of PERFECT to capture exactly how we remembered our wedding! I was recommended to them from a friend and I will continue to do the same to anyone else. Very professional and very enjoyable experience.

    Easy and stress free

    We had Michael do our videography for our winery wedding. The footage he got of our day was great! I’m so happy we can have these memories to reflect on. Michael was so easy to work with and guided us through everything to make sure he got some great moments. Would definitely recommend.

    Don't look anywhere else!

    You only need to go on their website to see the quality of work that COG Cinemas produce. We were given a recommendation through our photographer (Tiffany Perry) whom has worked multiple times with Michael before to capture weddings. After looking through his website and checking out his video portfolio, my (now) husband and I fell in love! We left everything in their hands and they worked seamlessly with our photographers to capture our wedding. The highlight video is amazing, and we can't stop smiling when we watch it. Seriously, you don't need to look anywhere else.

    Best Videographer Ever!

    We cannot recommend Michael and COG cinemas anymore than we already do! They shot our wedding and answered all of our constant questions and emails. We felt so comfortable shooting with them and the end result was beautiful. We love our wedding video and we are so happy we went with COG Cinemas.

    We can not recommend Michael and COG Cinemas enough. Michael shot our wedding, and from our first meeting through to when we received our custom designed wedding Blu-ray, every moment was handled with professionalism and care. You can definitely tell when someone loves what they do for a living, and Michael and his team really do love their job. His passion and commitment to excellence is more than we could ever ask for, and his ability to communicate and understand his client’s needs are what makes him stand out among the rest in his field.

    His eye for detail and his skills as a videographer assist him in capturing perfect moments. He really doesn’t stop working until he and the client are happy with the finished product. You can tell he really cares deeply for each project he works on.

    You’d be foolish to not hire COG Cinemas for your next videography project.

    Michael was absolutely amazing!!!! Our wedding video was spectacular. And he had our highlight video completed for us the day of our 1 month anniversary. He captured our story in a unique and captivating way! He also provided us with an extended video that came in a beautiful wooden case that I have displayed in my living room! Michael was incredibly responsive and patient with my busy schedule. I would recommend him over & over again!!

    I met Michael at my friends wedding that I was in and he was her videographer. I automatically fell in love with his work just watching him and his team capture her big day.. I knew that I wanted him to capture my husbands and I's big day. he is worth every penny, goes above and beyond for his clients and he is the most sweetest person you'll work with! my husband and I have watched our wedding video more than a dozen times.

    pick COG, you won't regret it :)

    Putting our wedding video in the hand's of COG Cinemas was probably one of the best decisions we made in our whole wedding planning process. Michael has such an eye for capturing the best moments and putting them all together in the end. He listened to all my thoughts, ideas, concerns - and he kept them all in mind when shooting & editing our video. When we got the final product, we couldn't believe how incredible the video was. Seriously, it was everything my husband and I could've ever dreamed of. Incredible quality, and every shot so carefully edited. Our friends and family couldn't stop gushing over how amazing our movie-quality wedding video was. Michael was incredibly accommodating, punctual, and very easy to work with. I believe that I was a bit of a needy/stubborn bride, and he helped me through the entire process & did an amazing job. We're so thankful for our incredible video that we get to look back on for years to come!

    COG cinemas was the best most favorite vendor choice we made for our weddinh Day! They went above and beyond to make it perfect for us. They take initiative without bothering you with too many questions. You cant even tell they are there and then they come up with the most beautiful way to tell YOUR story. They are creative, artistic, affordable, reasonable, gentle and kind, crazy talented and a choice you will not regret!! If you skimp on amything, do NOT leave out videography!!!

    Michael truly made my wedding/highlight video special! I could not have asked for a better videographer! He does such a beautiful job, he answered all of my questions so quickly, and made the day stress free. Picking out all your vendors can be stressful because you may not know what you are going to get, but as soon as i spoke with Michael I felt at ease and to top that off I received an amazing product in the end. I would 100% recommend him for any special event!

    I was referred to them by a friend that they did their wedding. When I saw the video of her wedding... I was so impressed! So I hired them for mine! Michael and his team did such a wonderful job for our wedding in October 2017! They went above and beyond to get the perfect shots. My husband and I were not expecting a drone to get a shot of the whole crowd! But they showed up with one and everyone thought it was such a cool idea! I highly recommend COG Cinemas!

    I can't even begin to explain how happy I was to have used Michael and his team to capture our wedding on video. The video had every special moment, and we loved having a short video as well that captured all the highlights. We've watched it over and over! This team was SO professional and really genuine about getting to know my husband and I.

    We are so grateful to have found Michael! Thank you again!

    Wow, where do I being... Michael and his team are absolutely incredible. I had the pleasure of using Michael's services back in April for my beach wedding in Dana Point, CA and by no mean's did he disappoint! Not only did the video's turn out spectacular, he was GREAT to work with! Michael went out of his way to capture moments outside of the "schedule" and made every effort to be a part of every moment. COG Cinema's reflects very talented, thoughtful and professional artists. If you are in need of a great team to shoot your big event, COG is the place to go. They are reasonable in price and do everything they can to make your vision come to light. Not to mention, they are amazing at shooting Drone footage! Thanks Michael for all your hard work and for caring about our big day as much as we did! You ROCK! - Katie & Justin

    We are happy with our ending project and we have gotten so many compliments, Michael and his team captured the most important aspects of our wedding. Thank you so much COG Cinemas!!

    I'm so happy that we went with COG Cinemas!! First of all, the price cannot be beat! I shopped around before our wedding and I was so shocked at the prices I was finding then I found COG Cinemas and I booked them right away! Michael was available and made booking his services so easy.

    It was so fun watching the video afterwards. It really brought us back to that special day and we had many laugh out loud moments watching friends dance and many special moments at our ceremony and reception. Throughout our planning, he promptly answered questions, clearly communicated what he needed from us, and was simply a really nice guy. On our wedding day, he was prepared, organized, and accommodating, and everything went perfectly. He was able to blend in with the guests and capture so many awesome candid moments.

    After the big day was over Michael kept us on track to get our 4-5 music video and our DVD and Blu-Ray Disc which both my husband and I loved! Not only did the video edits come with beautiful transitions, choice of music, and chapter markers. I would strongly recommend COG Cinemas to anyone looking in booking a videographer/ photographer. They have the best prices and best vibe. Michael was so down to earth and easy to talk to. You get so much when you go with COG Cinemas :)

    Great experience working with Michael. I knew he was my videographer when I saw the quality of his work on his website and he met my budget. He didn't require (although optional) any "in face" consultations and I was sold! He was easily reached through email and that's how we handled business. That was prefect for me as I work graveyard shifts and any "personal consultations" were difficult for me to make. He made the entire experience easy. Most importantly, our wedding video was amazing. He caught my expression when I first saw my husband (he had an unexpected surprise), something we both we concerned he didn't get as everyone was focused on my husband's face but Michael got it! If you are looking for a videographer, I highly recommend Michael.

    Above the Top

    Michael is a true professional! He captured everything we requested and then some. I appreciate his attention to detail, questions and thoroughness. Thank you for making me be able to relive the best day of my life as well as hold on the most charitable memories that I keep close to my heart and can now share with others. Thank you for your patience through it all! I highly recommend COG for any moment in life that you would like to capture.
