    Perfectly Captured Our Big Day!

    Mike was such a joy to work with! He was so helpful throughout the process and on our wedding day, him and his team were professional and a lot of fun to have around! They made us feel comfortable and even our guests commented on how great they were. We just got back the final product and it turned out beautiful! High quality sound and picture and very thoughtful edits. He really captured the day perfectly and we are so grateful to have these videos to remember for the rest of our lives. Thank you Mike!

    Amazingly Perfect!

    Mike did an amazing job preparing for our big day by asking great questions, connecting with our wedding coordinator, and photographer so he knew how to capture all the key moments. Each of the five videos he produced has helped us remember and celebrate that day again....and again.

    Patience and professionalism during a pandemic

    Let me start by saying Mike was awesome from beginning to end.

    My fiancé and I were having trouble narrowing down a videographer in our budget who had quality work. Luckily, the Knot pointed me in the direction of Mike. My biggest concern was finding a videographer who had experience with filming a Catholic wedding, which Mike had. After talking with Mike on the phone and discussing my budget, we booked him, and I am SO glad we did.

    Our original wedding date was June 13th, which got postponed due to Covid-19. Mike was patient with me throughout the entire postponement and rescheduling process. He kept reassuring me it would be okay and that we will find a date that works. Well, we we were able to book a new date: August 7th, 2020. Mike had recently relocated to Idaho; however, he was still able to book a flight and film our wedding. The day of the wedding, Mike was professional, patient, and hardworking. He and his assistant went above and beyond for us and even stayed for an additional 15 minutes outside of our contract time.

    When we received the film, we were elated. It captured mine and my husband's love and the film had GREAT music that Mike allowed us to pick out. My one regret is not booking Mike for an additional hour. If we did, we would have had a bit more coverage of me and my guests on the dance floor. So tip to future brides, book the extra time, it will be worth it!

    Overall, my husband and I cannot recommend Mike and his team enough. Thank you, Mike, for creating a memory that will last a life time for me and my husband

    amazing to work with!

    Mike is amazing to work with! He is very responsive and helpful with any questions you may have. He customized a package that fit our needs, and our wedding video turned out great! He managed to capture all our special moments, and our favorite part was the guest comments. I would definitely recommend him and his team to any couple, and look forward to watching our video over the years to come!

    The perfect man for our wedding

    Mike was for sure the right man to film our wedding. The videographer was actually the last vendor that I booked because I was really looking for the perfect blend of professionalism and cutting edge style. Mike was an absolute pleasure the day of the wedding - smiling and joking along with us while we were taking photos and even dancing the night away. At the very end of the night after the sparkler farewell he still had a smile on his face and best wishes for us! We love Mike and we can't wait to see the video.

    Well Worth It

    Mike and his team did a great job! There are several moving parts in every wedding and he was able to get it all right. All the hard work you'll put into your special day will be reflected in his work. You'll be glad you invested in saving the memories.

    We LOVE Mission Visual!! My wife had pretty much had her heart set on booking Mission Visual. Once I met Mike for our meet and greet, I could understand why she was so determined to book him. Mike is genuinely passionate about his work and is incredibly talented!! On the day of the event he and his assistant (Solomon) instantly made both families and close friends feel comfortable with their presence. For the most part we barely noticed them, which was nice, because some of the weddings I have attended it was like the paparazzi were following the wedding party and getting in the way of the guests. Selecting a videographer is an important decision and our experience during the wedding was great, however, anyone can film an event the editing is where Mission Visual really shined for us. He was able to capture our love story and create a video that we will share with many generations to come.

    Mike made our wedding day so special. I can’t even begin to count how many compliments we got on our Love Story that played at our reception. Your making of our Love Story really made our reception so much better than it ever would have been. I remember after the ceremony was done and getting ready for the reception, I was thinking to myself how excited I was to have our Love Story play for everyone to see, it really gave me something to look forward to on our big day. You made people laugh and cry, it was seriously so well done, and we are SO happy we did it. It is such a special thing to have forever for us to watch in the years to come.
    Everyone just kept saying also how great Mike was and how comfortable they were with him at the wedding and that means a lot to us, so thank you! It’s so important to be comfortable with your videographer because it will show in your video if you’re not. Mike was SO great to work with and he makes you feel comfortable right away!!

    Mike and the MV team conspired with my fiance to trick me into believing that they were filming me for a reality TV show, when in fact they were there to capture my engagement on film! The fantastic thing about having Mike there that day was that when my memorable event was over, I could take those special moments with me--and syndicate my story all over the world via the internet, and also will be able to re-tell exactly how it happened to my children and grandchildren. Mike's creative and elegant video story of my surprise engagement is now one of my most valued treasures. Consider MV for your videography :)

    Mike was a wonderful videographer for our wedding on the Queen Mary! He worked so well with our photographer and was professional the entire time; from the moment we first met to the day we recieved our video! We were so excited to see our video and were not disappointed! The video is something we will treasure forever. I am so glad we have this treasured memory, which originally we did not want to pay the extra expence-but so glad we did! No need to keep looking this is the videographer to use!

    To be perfectly honest, having Mike from Mission Visual shoot my wedding was one of the best decisions I made. He couldn't be more professional, kind or talented.
    It's been six months and we're still getting compliments on the wedding... Even more so now because I just sent a link to a clip of the whole video. He captured everything about that day that was important and was able to showcase it in a way where as you watch it, you feel like you're there again. Unbelievable!

    Mike recorded our wedding on 5/8/10. He was absolutely amazing! He befriended everyone he met, he really made my bridal party & family at ease. Our receiption was at the Mission Inn, Riverside, CA. We were hiking up and down stairs for a while taking pics. Mike even had his assistant deliver us 2 Corona's when I mentioned I was a bit parched. LOVE HIM!

    I recommend Mission Visual 100x's over.

    Mission Visual is awesome! Their prices are reasonable and you get high quality work. We worked closely with Mike who put together a video montage to show at our ceremony. It was a timely collaboration of home video clips of my husband and I growing up, and it was deeply moving. Mike is very nice and fun to work with. He filmed our entire ceremony and reception and made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. It is worth the money for a great videographer, one who can capture all the details and precious moments of your most special day in a high-quality, beautiful fashion. He really does care about each couple he works for.

    Mike was/is great. He was very accomodating in working with our hotel staff to ensure his/our AV needs were perfect.
    We taped a love story which was played at our reception. It was a huge success.
    We can't wait to see the wedding day video.
    Some guests did not know he was taping the reception. He blended into the festivities.

    Videographer was great to work with- very responsive to emails and phone calls. Flexible with contract.
    He does a 1st draft of the editing and sends it to you for approval. You can tell him any changes you want and then he sends you a final edit.
    The footage he shot is amazing- focus, color; and the editing is also very creative- natural, b&w, transitions, intermingling themes (if you have one for your wedding)
    We were VERY happy with him and his services! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! ^_^

    If cost seems high for your budget (this is an average cost for videographers), I want to advise to go ahead and splurge a bit on videographer and also photographer. These are the 2 things that will be looked at over and over long after the wedding event itself. Anything else that can be cut on should be, if it means that you assure quality companies for videography and photography!!

    Other than marrying my best friend, the absolute best decision I made in regard to planning my wedding was to hire Mike and Mission Visual. I was so impressed by his work I decided to fly him up to Northern CA, and though family and friends thought I was crazy when they saw the final video they understood. Mike was friendly, genuine, prompt, professional, warm, and very funny. A few members of the wedding party commented they felt they had known him for years. Add to that the fact that I have an incredible video that captured every moment, every emotion, every detail that I pain-stakingly planned all set to music with incredible editing work. And we got it back so fast!! I was amazed! We also had Mission Visual put together our photo montage that was shown at the reception and everyone was laughing through tears it was incredible. My husband and I have decided to renew our wedding vows to celebrate our ten year anniversary and we WILL be thrilled to work with Mission Visual again.

    Our videographer was Michael Mccaleb. His day-of-service and final video was exactly what you wanted. He works hand-in-hand with the photographer (for us he was a great teammate with Michael Ray of House of Photography). Does not get into the other guy's shots but gets all the good shots. Even though we got just 1 guy, he set up a second camera for the ceremony and ran one on his own as well. He took care of all the standard interviews and "money" shots of the scenery. The final video came out super fast (after we sent him our music selections) and it was just right.

    Mike at Mission Visual does incredible work. If you are not sure what you are looking for in a wedding video, trust Mike and he will not disappoint. But if you are like me and have a vision of what your wedding video needs to look like, then be prepared to give as much detail as possible and be patient and Mike will come through for you. When we first got our wedding video back from Mike my satisfaction level was at about 85%. I then realized that apart from a phone conversation several months ago, there weren't too many details that I provided Mike to work with. I then spent time with my wife and went over the video frame by frame and made notes of what we wanted to see in the video. We then provided all the details to Mike via email with instructions on what we wanted to see on the timeline (footage, music, speech) by the minute for the whole video. Though it took a minute, Mike got us to our 100% satisfaction level - and at the end of the day that's what matters, because you will be reliving that day through the video for the rest of your lives.

    Regarding Mike's quality of work - I've been impressed right from the beginning. If you have seen some of his demo videos you will know what I'm talking about. Quality speaks for itself!
