Heather Sent on 11/12/2022Incredible experience!!
Not only was he amazing at the time of my wedding but after 9 years when I lost the footage I reached out and without hesitation Michael pulled it all out again for me. Even with my dad passing last year he put together a separate video of just footage of my dad from the wedding for me. Incredible guy. I can't thank him enough for saving my memories -

Heather Sent on 11/11/2022Amazing wedding videos
We hired Mike as our wedding videographer. He created a highlights video and two longer videos - they are all great! The videos captured the essence and highlights of the day. We appreciated the quick turn-around on the videos. He was also very responsive to incorporating our feedback. -

Michael Sent on 11/15/2019Nothing short of amazing!!!
Michael was an amazing videographer to work with for our wedding. I can honestly say that I would very very highly recommend him. When it comes to editing his skills are unparalleled. He stayed in contact with us throughout the editing process and made 100% sure that we were satisfied with the final product. Choose him and you will not be disappointed !! -

PERFECT, PERFECT, PERFECT (and at a phenomenal price). That is the only way to describe our experience with Michael Brazda. We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Michael, his professionalism, the quality of his work product, and how far your dollar goes with him. My wife and I were married April 13, 2019 in Annapolis, MD. We initially did not plan to hire a wedding videographer because of price and because we’ve all seen friends’ wedding videos where it looks like their Uncle Jack filmed the wedding with a 1980s’ handheld camcorder (that was my fear). My wife took the time to extensively research “budget-friendly” videographers. In all honesty, our top choice was unfortunately unavailable for our wedding. While Michael was our second choice (though almost first), it should have never been a question he was our guy. First, just go to his website and look at the amount of work product and time you receive for the pricing. Seriously, you cannot beat Michael’s pricing! Trust us, we did our homework. And, I have to say, the few selected videos on Michael’s website do not do his work justice. We believe our three videos from Michael are far superior to others in his price range (though we’re likely biased because it was our wedding).
We reached out to Michael only twice before the wedding after signing the contract. Michael was very responsive prior to signing the contract and remained so thereafter. During one conversation we had with Michael he described himself as providing a “Toyota” product at a “Toyota” price. I believe that is incorrect: Michael provided us a “Cadillac” treatment at a 1995 “Honda Civic” price. We especially feel that way after obtaining pricing from our friend’s wedding videographer who was amazing and had amazing sample videos on his website, but wanted over $3,500 just to provide us ultimately with a 3-5 minute video and the original footage from the night.
The day of the wedding Michael was prompt and “Johnny on the Spot” with videoing. Some reviews comment that Michael may be too close and uses a light, which is likely why Michael asked before the wedding how “interactive” we wanted him to be. Looking back at out videos we have said numerous times we cannot believe Michael got some of the video he did because we do not recall his presence during much of the day. We received no complaints about Michael being too close, using a light, etc.
Michael did do some impromptu requests for “say something to the camera.” Honestly, it caught us off guard, but if done at the right time it captures the moment. My only suggestion is maybe being aware of that beforehand and going into your day, but that is likely something every videographer does and can easily be edited out of the videos. It certainly was not a negative aspect of our experience, but just something to be made aware of.
We received out videos less than TWO WEEKS after our wedding. That alone is amazing to us. The videos were so well edited, it is clear how much time Michael put into the editing process. We received exactly what we hoped for, and video that we will watch for the rest of our lives. Michael captures every moment perfectly and we cannot express enough how satisfied we are with his work.
Because we know how difficult this process is to navigate for wedding couples, and because of how satisfied we are with our choice of Michael as our videographer, we are happy to answer any questions you may have regarding working with Michael. Feel free to reach out to us with any questions, because the best “thank you” to Michael is a successful referral.

Heather Sent on 02/21/2018I met Michael while I was a bridesmaid in a friends wedding. I was so impressed with her video, I contacted him quickly when I became engaged myself. Michael was very quick to respond and we booked my wedding day. I am so happy that I did!!! Michael was extremely flexible, prompt, responsive, and the video was amazing!!! I was amazed at all of the little details he was able to capture. The video was stunning and I will cherish it forever !!! -

User2480590 Sent on 12/24/2015I don't even know where to begin. I just received my wedding highlight proof today and I am beyond pleased. I needed a videographer and it was pretty much very last minute (booked him one month out from my wedding). If you've done your research, it's almost impossible to find someone who is cheaper AND good. Luckily, my friend recommended him and the pricing packages were definitely in my budget (way below might I add). Simply put, he was affordable, his package included many more videos (highlight video and full length), longer hours that other videographers would charge you for after the contracted time, has experience with Chinese/Vietnamese weddings (lion dancing, the informality of Chinese restaurants, over 450+ people in my case) and he has a quick turnaround with amazing work. You won't be disappointed. -

Michael Sent on 11/21/2013Although my (now) husband and I were debating in the beginning of our wedding planning whether to hire a videographer, it was the one thing that I was very passionate about. I knew that the whole night would be a blur and I wanted to be able to watch our ceremony and reception after everything calmed down, but I also did not want to break the bank in hiring a great videographer. I’m so glad I found Michael! From the beginning, he was very responsive to my emails and questions and very reasonably priced, especially compared to all of the other video companies I was looking at. I saw his videos on his website and really liked what I saw.
We initially hired him to film for 8 hours but once we realized the timing of our wedding was changing, I simply emailed him and asked if we could do the unlimited package for only $100 more. It was not a problem. Along with our photographer, Michael took video of us getting ready in our hotel room and he filmed some really cute, casual interviews of my husband and me talking about how we met and our relationship, which will be so great to see.
Although we have not seen the finished product yet, we saw clips of the wedding ceremony while we were waiting for the reception to start and it looked wonderful. I can’t wait to see the finished product.
I’d highly recommend hiring Michael if you want a responsive videographer, quality work and reasonable prices.
