    A great choice!

    Michael was amazing! He stepped in literally two weeks before our wedding as our initial vendor was unreliable. I'm thrilled he was available and fit us in under such short notice. He truly captured our day wonderfully. He showed up on time and was super easy to communicate with beforehand. He answers emails in a timely manner and keeps you totally informed. After the wedding he was quick to provide the film and has been incredibly responsive to any feedback I have. 10/10 recommend working with Michael. The value for the imagery is undeniable.

    Amazing 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.

    Fantastic Videographer!

    Michael is the utmost professional and the best money can buy! He was responsive to all requests and delivered fantastic videos to capture my wife and I’s special moments. He worked so hard all day, and he was such a delight. You can tell he put in a lot of effort in his video edits too. Thank you Michael! Thanks for accommodating to all of our crazy requests including our music.

    Look no further for your wedding videographer!!

    Mike was recommended to me by a friend and he did not disappoint! He responded to my emails right away and was right on time. He worked seamlessly with my photographer and captured our wedding day beautifully! He got us our wedding videos super fast and they are wonderful! They captured every part of our big day! Mike even stayed an extra hour and a half to make sure he didn't miss anything! After our wedding he worked with us to make edits and compile the perfect wedding video and highlight video! He will make any edit or change you ask and was super flexible when it came to the perfect video! The video came out spectacular and I find myself constantly rewatching it and reliving our wedding day! I highly recommend Mike for your wedding day! He met all our expectations and more!

    Nothing 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 !!

    Great videographer! Do not hesitate to use!

    My fiance and I had Michael video our wedding in October and he was awesome! He was very professional, prompt, courteous, and friendly. From our initial emails, to the day of the wedding, we felt like we were his only client. On the day of the wedding, we didn't even notice he was there (which is a sign of a good videographer), yet somehow he still got all the footage we wanted! He showed up on time, and was even willing to stay a bit later than scheduled in order to get all of the shots we wanted. We thought his pricing was very fair. Do not hesitate to use Michael for your event!

    Perfect, perfect, perfect

    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.

    Great Wedding Video!

    Michael did a great job with our wedding video! He really captured every part of our wedding day and so many small details which we were really happy about. He showed up on time the day of the wedding and was very easy to communicate with leading up to it. He was also very reasonable compared to other videographers that we looked at. It did take him about 12.5 weeks for us to get the final copy of everything and I did need to send him a few emails to follow up but he was in constant communication the whole time and explained that he was very busy. He also made sure we were happy with all of the edits before he sent us the final copy. We were very happy with his work and I would definitely recommend him for your upcoming wedding!

    What can I say except I was beyond happy with Michael as my videographer! He arrived on time as scheduled and he began working immediately. One of the best things was that he blended in well. He wasn't in the way of anything and he got all of the best shots. One moment that he got was of myself and my sisters dancing. I didn't know he was shooting that moment and when I looked up he was the first person I saw. An OUTSTANDING videographer!! If you're looking for a superb videographer Michael is the one! Affordable & amazing at what he does! Thanks so much Michael!

    My husband and I paid for videography for our son and daughter in law as a wedding present for their New Year’s Eve wedding. I secured Mike’s services over a year in advance based on his great reviews and the quality of other videos I viewed on his website. We were so very pleased with his responsiveness, promptness, and professionalism. He captured the most important moments throughout the entire wedding. We can’t wait to see the finished product!

    Michael Brazda did such a phenomenal job with capturing our wedding. He has a warm and enthusiastic personality that is bound to bring out even the most reserved of personalities for film. His editing skills and eye created beautiful wedding memories that we will enjoy for years. Can't thank him enough.

    I 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 !!!

    Michael has been great to work with. He has taken time to really work with me and capture everything. After finding out we had a vintage car to pick us up he stayed a little late in order to capture some shots the vintage car! He's very affordable too.

    We did quite a bit of research on videographers in the D.C. area, and really feel like we lucked out with Michael Brazda. He's a true professional- and we are in love with the Wedding Highlights video that he just sent us. He's courteous, prompt, very cost-effective, and will do everything he can to capture your special day exactly how you want it. Book him now, and don't look back.

    I can't say enough about how wonderful it was to work with Michael. I emailed Michael about him being part of my wedding vendors and couldn't believe his response with pricing and packages. He offered exactly what I needed, plus more for a great price! He was responsive to my emails and answered all of my questions. I decided to add more time the day before the wedding and Michael, without hesitation said "no problem"! We were able to cover my getting ready all the way to the end of the reception. As for Michael's work- he got EVERYTHING! All I can say is for someone who really didn't feel the need for a video and argued with my Mom about this- I have watched my video 5 times!!! He caught all the moments I wanted to see again, that I didn't get to see and all of the moments of my friends and family having a great time. Michael was basically like a guest with a video camera- he didn't get in the way! He captured the moments without being in my face or my guests. He caught moments of people smiling at him and enjoying themselves. He was calm and kind. I would say, if you are looking for someone to video your wedding, you will not be disappointed with Michael. If you are on the fence, as I was, DO IT! Everyone attending my wedding was thrilled about Michael being there and can't wait to see the video for themselves. My guests said that he was great getting footage without making them feel uncomfortable. That is priceless to me.

    Michael produced a fantastic video of photos of my daughter and her fiancee, covering the years from their births to their engagement, all set to music customized to each theme in the video. We showed the video, to rave reviews from family and friends alike, at their rehearsal dinner and multiple receptions during the weekend. Michael's editing and production talents were key to success, and added a special sparkle both to the events and to preserving long time memories. Thank you!

    I was absolutely thrilled with the full length video provided to us a month after our wedding. Mike is simply a pleasure to work with and is very professional. He was very easy to be reached and valued what we wanted day of wedding. I highly recommend Mike for good quality and cost efficient videography.

    Michael was so great to work with - such a stress free experience! He was on time, very professional, and got all the shots - and more - that we wanted at our wedding. My mother and I just rewatched the raw footage recently and were talking about how we didn't even notice that he was around. I wanted the video to capture everyone walking down the aisle, but the church we got married at was very strict about where the photographers and videographers could be. Michael even called the church manager and wooed them into getting into a spot for the perfect shot. It is honestly amazing being able to relive the entire day since it goes by SO fast and Michael helped us capture it perfectly. He got a shot of my husband's grandmother dancing (she hasn't been able to walk without a cane in years and was dancing without one!) and that is a shot that we will cherish forever. Not to mention probably the best deal I found in all my research!

    I highly recommend Michael Brazda as your wedding videographer. He did an amazing job capturing our wedding day! He was super easy to work with and it resulted in really amazing footage! We were on the fence about whether or not we needed videography but I'm so happy we hired him. It was one of the best vendor decisions. He really captured so many beautiful moments that could not be captured in stills. He did really great editing of the final pieces and great music selections and has a knack for capturing all the beauty and special moments of the day's events. I still cry when I watch the pieces that he put together. I really think you get a lot out of what you pay for with his services. Highly recommend!

    If you are debating between videographers go with Michael. He is awesome. My wife and I are very detailed with high expectations and he did not let us down. My wife was skeptical and needed a lot of convincing. However, looking back on the wedding, we both agree this was one of our best decisions. She said I was right about Michael and she never says I am right. Lol. We had already spent a lot of money on the wedding including hiring a photographer so my wife was not sold on adding a videographer. Although our photographer was great, he was in an accident and came late. Luckily Michael came early and made sure our entire day was captured. Video captures aspects that pictures can not such as your parents reactions and the fun time your guest are having. A lot is going on in a wedding and you can not be multiple places all at once. The wedding will also go by fast and Michael’s video allows you to relive the best aspects of the special day and focus on the highlights rather than the stressful parts. Plus relatives who can’t make it and if you have kids one day will all surely appreciate it. Michael uses the latest HD technology and great editing techniques to produce a high quality end product. We are so happy with Michael. It was hard to tell how things would go just based on our initial conversation, just like for anyone, but I went with my gut instinct. When considering different options, you want someone like Michael who is creative, talented, passionate, and knows he is good. Our initial proofs were fantastic. We had a few minor comments but he has been willing to work with us to get the video just right. We look forward to receiving the final video after all edits have been made. Michael has been exceptional thus far! I spoke with several videographers and did my due diligence before selecting one and I would pick Michael again without hesitation.

    Excellent service. Mr. Brazda did a great job! Even though we are from a different culture, he did a very good job filming all important details of our persian wedding ceremony. He was very flexible and also gave us a lot of control in editing the films. The highlights have been edited very beautifully. We are glad we worked with him.

    Michael did an absolutely amazing job capturing the magic of our big day! He was incredibly responsive before and after the wedding. His prices were also very reasonable! He created several different length videos for us quickly, and was very responsive to our feedback. I am so glad that he was there to capture all of the special moments of our wedding!!!
