    Best Vendor I Hired

    WOW. I am blown away by Michael's talent, passion, and professionalism. I hired some great vendors, but Michael was far and away my favorite. My whole bridal party has told me that he was so amazing to work with on my wedding day. Just from the initial phone call to chat and see if he was who I wanted as my videographer, he was my favorite. You can feel his passion radiating off of him as he talks about his work, and he truly cares for the couple he is filming. Not only is he outstanding as a person, and so easy to work with, but oh my GOD HIS TALENT!!!!! The final products were more than I could have hoped for, and I will cherish them for the rest of my life

    Creates the most beautiful video your day deserves!

    Get a videographer or don’t get a videographer? GET ONE! It’s 100% worth it! You WILL watch your video regardless of what people say. But hiring the right one is key. Sure… anyone can record on their phone, but you are already investing so much into your special day, so why not hire someone who can create a beautiful video that your day deserves?

    Michael is the man behind Nostalgic Innovations and we are so thankful we hired him! From the start he truly cared about us a couple and getting to know us. He was professional, on time, helped us stay on time for our wedding timeline, gave us some awesome tips to even share with our wedding party, and worked amazing with all our vendors (and our dog!). Michael blessed us from the beginning till the end, and his incredible videos (the short one and the longer one with every part of our day) made us cry (and everyone who watched as well). It was so easy to work with him!

    Michael, thank you for making the choice to go this path and become a videographer. Your work will impact not just us and those you have done videos for, but every future generation who gets to enjoy your art. Thank you for being so kind and genuine. We are forever thankful for you!

    Trust us… Nostalgic Innovations is worth your investment.

    Thank you, SO MUCH, for saying such nice things, Regina! You and Ben are exactly the reason why I do what I do! All the best to you, both in 2024!

    captured memories that will last a lifetime

    Michael was so professional. He set up a meeting with us beforehand to get to know us and what we wanted, which really helped the day run smoothly. The highlight real and the full video that we got are so special and we will cherish those memories forever!

    Videographer

    Michael is such an amazing videographer and so fun to work with! He was hired as the videographer at our friend’s wedding and we got to see his work in action several years ago. We were so impressed that we knew once we were engaged that this is who we wanted for our wedding day. Michael talked with us on the phone for our initial meeting and we met him in person for the final meeting before the wedding. This really showed how much he cared about capturing the perfect video for our wedding day. He also provides really good wedding advice and is so fast with his work! We received the highlight and final video with one month! We literally cannot get enough of both! The opening of both videos is literally stunning and the music he picked is spot on!! We get to re-live the best days of our lives over and over again 😊. I wish I could post our highlight video on here for the review but please check out his website and Instagram page to see all his talented work! We cannot thank Michael enough for all his help throughout the wedding planning process and of course theses videos!

    We were floored to see such a nice review! If there was a place to leave a client review, we'd definitely leave you folks 5-Stars!! Wishing you folks a lifetime of joy equal to what we witnessed on your wedding day!!

    Highly Recommend!

    Michael is truly amazing! He has been the videographer for my friend’s, sibling’s, and my own wedding- and we all can say that we would continue to recommend him to others! He is professional, thoughtful and meticulous. We met with him before our wedding to express what we wanted and what our wedding day was going to be like. Michael is someone you can ask any questions to and is very knowledgeable about the process. After our meeting, Michael made sure to connect and communicate with our photographer (before our special day) to make sure the day would go smoothly- a true team player. On the day of our wedding, he did such an amazing job almost acting “invisible” while getting the job done and made us feel so comfortable/natural the entire time. The highlight film he put out completely exceeded our expectations! We couldn’t stop watching it! It brought everyone who saw it back to the amazing time we had that day. We are so happy we got the full video back shortly after as well! We can’t thank you enough for everything, Michael!

    You are too gracious with your words! We LOVED being a part of your special day, and you and Dylan will always be among our FAVORITE clients!! Thanks!!!

    Highly Recommend!

    We had such a wonderful experience working with Michael! From the moment we met him, we knew he would be a great addition to our wedding team. He goes above and beyond! He was always there for us, and truly got to know us as a couple throughout the process. Michael had creative ideas for our videos that we wouldn't have otherwise thought of! He captured moments from our day that we missed, which was really fun to watch. The videos are beautiful! If you're thinking about hiring a videographer, do it! You won't be disappointed. We highly recommend Michael and Nostalgic Innovations!

    So happy we had Michael to capture our day

    Out of all the videographers we had contacted, Michael was by far the most reasonably priced AND (more importantly) the most personable when we spoke. We knew we hit the jackpot when he was available for our wedding date. Michael worked so well with my husband and I, he is very detail oriented, enthusiastic, thorough and timely. You can tell he takes his work seriously and has a genuine connection with his clients. Despite all the chaos, Michael did a great job capturing our moments and working past the obstacles of last-minute changes, and a rainy wedding day. Michael far exceeded our expectations and delivered us a beautiful video that my husband and I will cherish forever!

    I also want to note that he did some amazing work at restoring and piecing together my parents old wedding video from the 80’s. Seeing their day entirely remastered brought my family to happy, “nostalgic” tears!

    Thank you Michael for all the wonderful work you have done for my family! I give my highest recommendation, and know with certainty you won’t regret choosing Nostalgic innovations for your day!

    Love you and Todd, so much! It was our honor to have been the ones you chose to capture your wedding day. All our best for a lifetime of AWESOME memories!!

    Fantastic Videographer

    We were married on 09-14-2019 in Cazenovia and one of my goals when I was finding all my vendors was to find local people as much as possible. I couldn't get much more local than Michael! It worked out so wonderfully because he was able to meet with us at the venue a few weeks before the wedding and attend the rehearsal as well. That was so great because Michael was able to know exactly what the plan was, see where he wanted to set up, and I thought we were able to form a good connection with him through these meetings. He is so gracious as well. He offered to let my ceremony musicians borrow a keyboard and other equipment if they needed it. We did not end up taking him up on the offer, but it was very helpful that he sent all the information about what he had so the musicians could decide. Additionally, he went above and beyond by reaching out to someone he knew and trying to coordinate getting drone footage. That person ultimately could not participate, but the mere fact that Michael had tried to set it up was really awesome. Luckily, my husband's brother has a drone and we had already planned on asking him and seeing if that could be coordinated. Michael said it was fine and even provided an SD card for the footage. He seamlessly incorporated the drone footage into our highlight video, and man, is it a gorgeous video. Michael was so great to work with for our wedding. He is just a really nice person and I feel he understood what we wanted - the proof being in the highlight video he created, which I know he spent so much time on. I cannot say enough good things about Michael and his work which, additionally, is a very reasonable price. I think he and the photographer worked well together too, at least from my viewpoint they seemed to be. We do not have the full length video yet, but I feel confident it will be just as splendid as the highlight video.

    The BEST Wedding Videographer in Central New York!

    We had a fantastic experience working with Michael for our wedding in August 2019. We looked for a long time to find the right videographer and going with Nostalgic Innovations was one of the best decisions we made. Michael is incredibly easy to work with; he is friendly, helpful, and a truly gifted storyteller. I loved that he did a shorter highlight video AND filmed the whole day - I've literally watched both of them at least a dozen times so far. The videos came out beautiful! Everything from the shots of details, to special moments we had, to the music; he captured everything so perfectly. We had an outdoor ceremony and a reception inside a historic barn - the barn was challenging because it was darker inside but he handled it perfectly. All of the communications leading up to the big day were clear, consistent and prompt. On the day of the wedding, he was very professional and made the day so much fun and less stressful. He worked very well with our other vendors that day too. I also think he has very reasonable pricing for the work he does compared to other videographers we considered. I really can't say enough great things about Michael and our experience working with him - he is great and we would highly recommend him for ANY kind of wedding. He will make it so memorable and special!

    The best addition to our wedding day!

    Adding videography to our wedding day was one of the best decisions we made. And being able to work with Michael made it all the more better. We originally thought that we would maybe do without videography and I now cannot believe that thought even crossed my mind. I would have been so incredibly disappointed if we decided against adding this important piece to our day. We did some research and decided to reach out to Michael and boy, are we glad we did! Michael is truly a special, special guy. We cannot get over how responsive, professional and supportive Michael was from day one. From our first email correspondence, my husband and I felt an instant connection that was unlike any other vendor. We trusted him and really enjoyed getting to know him! You could tell through his responses, his questions for us, his suggestions etc. how much he truly cared about the work he does and the couples he works with. He was always quick to respond to any question (at pretty much any time of day!) and was so helpful in regards to our overall timeline. We had a few hiccups with our wedding planners along the way and Michael was quick to calm our nerves and reassure us that he too was there to help the day run smoothly. And do not even get us started on the video he created for us. We were just speechless. He put together the most beautiful video that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. The response from our family and friends has been overwhelming as well. It is so fun being able to show off his incredible work!! He is such a talented, caring person and we are just so grateful to have met him and to have been given the opportunity to work with him!! If you are on the fence about adding a videographer, JUST DO IT! Michael is the absolute best and will make your dreams come true! Believe me when I say you will regret not having this wonderful footage to look back on for years to come.

    Nostalgic Innovations Videography Syracuse and CNY's reply:

    To paraphrase you, Lauren...there's no combination of words that can describe how much I appreciate how much you and Erik trusted in, and worked with, me through every step of the process. Your finished film is the example of how working together benefits everyone, exponentially. Definitely going to miss you two!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

    If you’re looking for a videographer, look no more!

    Deciding to have a videographer was, hands down, the best decision we made for our wedding day! From day one, Nostalgic Innovations was an absolute dream to work with! There is no denying that this is a labor of love for Michael. His presence added so much charm to our special day! He was incredibly easy to work with, eager to answer any of our questions, and highly professional. Not to mention, he created the most STUNNING video for us. We still can’t get over how beautiful it is. From the details to the dancing, Michael made sure to capture it all! We will cherish our video for a lifetime and recommend him as your videographer a million times over! If you’re on the fence, make the leap! You will thank yourself for years to come!

    In the words of my husband!: "Amazing, Fantastic, Wonderful!"

    My now husband :) and I knew from the beginning we wanted a videographer for our wedding, and we decided to contact Michael from Nostalgic Innovations based off of reviews. From my first phone call with Michael my nerves were put at ease! I can't say enough good things about the professionalism, the support, and the amazing job Michael did not only at our wedding but leading up to our wedding! Michael captured our day perfectly, worked flawlessly with our photographer, and helped create a calming feeling throughout our day! Knowing someone was there capturing everything you are missing (the day flies ladies! smile and enjoy every minute!!) as well as the emotion of the day was such a relief, and Michael's great sense of humor and go-with-the flow attitude during a few unexpected hold ups and outdoor winter adventures helped break up some of the day's wedding jitters! We received the highlight video quickly and were overwhelmed with how beautiful and fun it was! The comments and compliments about of highlight video from our family and friends, as well as my own tears!, confirmed that our day was captured in the absolute best possible way! Just when I thought an hour long wedding video would be just that, a straight forward recap of the day, I was proven wrong and in awe once more! Michael's technique of putting footage together in all the right places was phenomenal! The footage was clear and clean with great audio, and the shots and angles that were captured by one person were incredible! I highly recommend Nostalgic Innovations and want to thank Michael once again for capturing our day in such an incredible way!!

    Thank you for such nice words, Shawna!! It was a great day for us, made easier by you and Brian!! What a perfect setting, for the two of you to start this next phase of your lives together! All the best to both of you!!

    Videographer

    While planning my wedding, I was told by many people that if i did not get a videographer, I would quickly regret it. I reached out to Michael and he sent me some samples to review and I loved them! It wasn't up for debate after I saw them. I knew I needed a videographer. My now husband and I met with Michael and from the beginning he was SUPER helpful. He was super nice and kept in contact with me up to our wedding day. After we received out final videos, I was amazed. He captured our day in the best way possible. I have watched the video numerous times and tear up every time because of how perfect it is. I would HIGHLY recommend Nostalgic Innovations to anyone looking for a videographer!

    Best money spent of the wedding.

    If you are on the fence about if you want a videoagrapher or not, hire Michael! Hiring him was one of THE BEST things I did for my wedding! For a while I wasn’t sure if I wanted to spend the money when I already had a photographer, but this was the best money I spent. He is so professional and definitely knows his stuff. His work is such high quality for such a reasonable price. I would hire him again in a heartbeat, and you should too. I will always appreciate and be grateful for Michael for all that he captured and the way he put it all together. I can’t say enough great things about him and his work.

    WOW!!! Nostalgic Innovations are the best!

    The truth is that we didn’t think that we wanted a videographer for our wedding. When we first met Michael, we explained to him that all we wanted was to capture the moments, gestures, expressions that sometimes photos to do not capture. Aside from Michael being so friendly, fun and professional- we were beyond flawed with our final product! We are forever grateful that we decided to go with Nostalgic Innovations for our wedding video! We laughed, we cried and ultimately LOVED what Michael did to highlight our special day. Thank you for making our day even more special!!!

    Mike and his wife did, what I feel is too little recognition, an AMAZING job capturing our wedding day. We had the perfect day and it was all captured by Mike. He went WAY above and beyond what my wife and I expected and was extremely flexible working with us. I cannot say enough good words about Mike and his Wife and their attention to detail, equipment, and professionalism to capture a amazing day on film and all possible moments. Mike, From Ashley and I, thank you for making this production, something that we will have and cherish for the rest of our lives. We cannot thank you enough, you did an AMAZING job and if we are in need of a videographer, we will not hesitate to reach out to you. I would not have had it any other way, thank you so very much!!!!

    Michael was the absolute best!!! My now husband and I had our wedding in Fayetteville at the Immaculate Conception Parish and our reception in Downtown Syracuse at the hotel Marriott Downtown in the Grand Ballroom. When deciding that we wanted a Videographer we really didn't know who to look for... THANK GOD we found Nostalgic Innovations (Michael)... From our first meeting with him, he was SO professional and organized. He was also really, detailed and a quick responder over email which really showed me just how professional he is.... As a super OCD bride, I appreciated how on top of everything he was. He had a bunch of questions for us, which made us feel great because he thought of every single little detail and moment before the big day even happened. Michael was extremely flexible and told us that he could be wherever we needed him at whatever time. What was absolutely great was that Michael came to the rehearsal at the church the night before the big day so he could get an idea of the church and even film a little bit. When the big day arrived, Michael said hello of course but stayed out of the way in the background and even managed to get many different angles of the ceremony (which literally turned out amazing). He also got video of our photo sessions. He and my photographers worked great together and they didn't even meet until the big day... We got to the reception and Michael got many guest interviews... this was so awesome to watch back and also hilarious!!! He also got all of the entrances, first dances, and speeches on video too. After much dancing recorded after we all ate dinner, Michael then said goodbye and left. I was just so happy with him as a person - he was so genuinely kind and professional, you could tell he was just truly happy for us and excited to make the video memories for us. Thank you so much, Michael, for making our big day that much more special with all of the recorded memories that we have now have to cherish forever.
