    Amazing Vendor - 10/10!

    Mike and his team were absolutely amazing! They were easy to work with, brought a relaxed vibe to a stressful day, and always kept us laughing. They made posing for all of the pictures easy (which isn’t always the easiest with my husband). We both had genuine smiles and truly were able to relax knowing the team had everything handled.

    The photos and video are phenomenal and I truly was blown away! I will cherish them for years to come. Mike was easy to communicate with, organized, professional and had the best attitude all day. He brought a sense of comic relief throughout the day that my husband and I truly appreciated. I can’t reccomend MJL enough - 10/10!

    Excellent!

    I cannot recommend MJL Photography & Film enough, Mike and his crew were absolutely exceptional. We took our engagement photos with him which were stunning, and today we received our highlights video which I am in absolute awe over. He is not only professional and accountable but he goes above and beyond with everything he does. He will also keep you laughing literally all night. I am so grateful that Mike was able to capture all of the moments of our special day. Thank you Mike for absolutely killing it!!! I 1000x recommend if you are looking for a photographer/videographer to hire Mike and his team you will not be disappointed.

    Excellent!

    Mike recently did the videography at our wedding in Newport and we were just blown away by his work. On wedding day, Mike brought a great energy, he is easy and fun to work with while also very professional. He makes you feel super comfortable as having so much attention on you can feel awkward but he definitely helps with that! He recently sent us our highlight video and I honestly cried more watching the film he made for us than I did on our wedding day. He captured so many great moments and puts it all together in a beautiful cinematic film. Honestly truly amazing work! Highly recommend! Book him for your next wedding, you will not be disappointed!

    The best experience with photo and video

    We used MJL Photography for photography and videography and both services far exceeded our expectations. Michael and his crew were amazing. Michael’s dedication to his service was radiant throughout the day. He went above and beyond to be sure he captured every moment of our day. He was efficient to get our pictures taken prompt. Michael’s calm personality was greatly appreciated on my wedding day. I recommend Michael to anyone getting married looking for the most beautiful wedding pictures and video.

    Best Wedding Photographer Hands Down!

    Mike is amazing! From the moment we met with him to discuss what our visions were for our wedding we knew he was the perfect fit. We viewed some of his work prior to meeting him so we knew his ability to take a beautiful video and picture was there - we just wanted to make sure he could vibe with us- and let me tell you he did! And he did with our huge bridal party and 300 person attended wedding as well! His personality is so welcoming he made everything run so smoothly from finish to end. You truly would not be making a mistake if you chose to hire Mike- the only mistake you would be making is if you DIDNT hire him for the special day you want to remember forever. 10 out of 10- I will refer him forever. Thank you Mike!

    My wife and I had our wedding on 10/14/17 and booked Mike Larson from MJL Photography & Films after seeing a lot of his work in research we were doing. We were looking for a certain style of video and photography and from the work we saw that he did, and when meeting him we knew we were going to be happy with his work. Mike is so passionate about his work that my words don't do it justice. We booked Mike for both video and photography as well as using him for our engagement photos. He also agreed to work out a contract with us that included an engagement style video. Do yourself a favor and check out some of his video and photography work because honestly words in this review truly do not do it justice. Any questions or concerns throughout the wedding process he answered and took care of it. He worked tirelessly on all of our stuff and the product was unbelievable. We want to thank Mike and his team for their hard work and dedication on capturing every moment of our special wedding day as well as the engagement photo/video work. I will definitely stay in contact with Mike and hopefully we can do some more work in the future together!

    We booked MJL photography for my son’s Bar Mitzvah. Michael and his team were absolutely fantastic! We talked about what I was looking for during my first meeting and he not only met but exceeded my expectations. The photographer was so nice, accommodating and fun. He captured every moment. The pictures came out beautiful. I loved having them a part of my event.

    I can’t say enough good things about Mike and his crew. My husband and I are so happy we chose him to capture our day. From our engagement photos, to wedding photos, to the video of our special day.. Everything was perfect! He was extremely flexible with our schedule when we were planning a day to take engagement photos. He captured everything we wanted, exactly how we wanted it! He made the whole process fun and comfortable for us. We are so happy MJL Photography & Films was a part of our special day, thanks again!

    Love Samantha & Matt Brown

    I can't say enough about how great our experience has been with MJL. Both Michael and his assistant were extremely professional - they captured everything we wanted and more (beginning while we were getting ready and then all day and night at Castle Hill), yet we didn't even notice them on the day of the wedding. Following the wedding, Michael worked with us to make the end product better than we could have even imagined. We are so happy to have this video forever to re-watch and re-live the day they captured so beautifully.

    We are from NY and literally watched videos, looked at websites, and read reviews to find a photographer and videographer for our wedding. Michael J was the best decision we made!! We did our engagement shoot with him and when those turned out perfectly we knew we made the right choice for our wedding day. He captured every special moment as well as the feelings and emotions of the entire day. The wedding video and photos are everything and more. Michael J made us laugh and feel so comfortable during every interaction. His work is the absolute best and we definitely recommend MJL Photography and Films to any bride & groom! Thanks again, Michael J Larson! You are so wonderful in every way :)

    Hiring Mike as the videographer for our wedding was the best decision I made!! He has such a talent for capturing the feeling of the day and all of the important little moments. The wedding video Mike created for us was better than we could've imagined, and we received so many compliments. I would definitely recommend MJL Photography and Films to any bride! Thanks again, Mike! You are truly the best.

    I absolutely loved our wedding photos and video Mike did for us! He puts so much thought, creativity and effort into his work. He is also super easy and flexible to work with, and is certainly a protectionist. All my friends and family were very impressed with his work. Highly recommend!

    One of our best wedding decisions was choosing Mike and his team to do our photography and videography. Mike has the best personality for this job- he's is so easy to get along with and there are no awkward moments with him, even when he's sticking a camera in your face. We did an engagement session months beforehand and the pictures came out incredible. Mike has such an obvious passion for photography and you can tell he is proud of the work he does. He lets you see glimpses of the pictures throughout the day and constantly asked us if there were any shots in particular that we wanted. Our family loved him- my photographer-wannabe mother is still raving about how he took her on as his apprentice for the day and taught her all kinds of tricks. Mike is laid back and easy to work with, but also professional and reliable. We can't wait to see our wedding pictures and video!!

    Michael Larson was a WONDERFUL videographer for my wedding! He was extremely professional and reliable. More importantly my wedding video came out PERFECT. I have had at least five people ask me for his name for their wedding because they loved the video so much! He was great!

    We heard about MJL Photography from family members who used him and were blown away! From the first time we met with Mike all the way through the wedding and again when we got our photos and video we have been thrilled that Mike was part of our wedding! It was an easy decision for us to make and one that we couldn't be happier with! We highly suggest MJL Photography! He is truly the best around! Thanks for capturing our wedding day so perfectly!

    Mike was absolutely amazing. Once we met him the first time, we knew he was the one! He was very reasonable and so much was included in our package! We got two short videos and ALL of the raw footage. We also got an engagement session and hundreds and hundreds of beautiful pictures! Finally, we got a beautiful, quality wedding album! (This was NOT the case for any of the other photographers/videographers we looked at). Mike made us so comfortable. He was like a friend taking our pictures, and he made us laugh the entire time. From our engagement shoot to the wedding, Mike was always there through text, call, or email. Mike was always available and ready to answer any "bride panic questions/moments" I had. I gave him a list of every picture combination I wanted and sample pictures, and he did EVERY SINGLE ONE! He was organized and knew exactly what he was doing. We have recommended him to everyone and two of our friends are now using him for their weddings. We could not be happier with Mike and how everything came out. Our friends and family cannot get over how beautiful the pictures are and how much our video looks like a real movie. :) Thank you Mike for capturing the best day of our lives!!!!

    Hiring MJL to video our wedding was the best decision we have ever made. They were able to capture our magical day and create an amazing wedding video for us. Their professionalism and artistic eye blew us away and we couldn't be happier with their work. Thank you to Michael and everyone else over at MJL for giving us the best wedding video I have ever seen and allowing us to relive our day for the rest of our lives!!

    My fiancé and I were blown away at Michaels keen eye for detail and creativity. He is so much fun to work with. We had such a enjoyable time taking our engagement photos with him at Carolyn's Sakonnet Vineyard in Newport, RI. Mike made us feel very comfortable and it showed in our pictures. They all came out so natural. We cannot wait for our Wedding day and can only imagine what a beautiful job he will do on our special day. We would recommend him to any bride and groom.
