Michael and his team were absolutely AMAZING!!! They did my wedding two years ago, and I couldn't have asked for a better or more professional group of people to work with. They worked so well with my photographer and her team that you would've thought they were all one team. We got the trailer and I had them pick the music for the video and it turned out SO beautiful. They captured so much good footage and encapsulated the entire wedding SO SO well in only a few minutes that I don't feel that I'm missing out on a full video at all (though I'm sure they're amazing at those, too!) I highly, HIGHLY recommend Michael and his team at MP Wedding Films to anyone needing a great quality video for their wedding! read more

I wasn't originally planning on having a videographer for our wedding, after talking to my friends I thought photos would be enough. But less than two weeks before the big day, I had a change of heart. Thankfully, our saint of a planner found us Michael. We had our first meeting just days before the wedding, and right away, Michael understood the exact vibe we were going for. On the morning of the wedding, he arrived with his assistant and instantly brought a sense of calm and confidence. It was reassuring to that see how seamlessly he worked alongside our photographer. To be honest, the wedding day was a total blur. But when my husband called to let me know, "our video is ready," we sat down together to watch it and I was in tears. Michael didn't just capture footage; he captured the emotions, the energy, and all the in-between moments that made it one of the happiest days of my life. Thank you, Michael, for documenting our day so beautifully and so meticulously. We'll cherish this video forever. I wholeheartedly recommend him to any couple looking for a videographer, you will not regret it. read more

Michael was so easy to work with! He showed up on time, and delivered the videos to us in the timeframe he promised. On top of his punctuality, the video itself was exactly what I thought it would be, beautiful, professional, and full of all the moments I wanted captured. When we watched it all the way through with my family, the joy that was brought to everyone was extraordinary. If you are wavering on hiring Michael as your videographer, HIRE him! You won't regret it. It was the best decision of my wedding planning! read more

Michael and his team were a godsend for my daughter's Sweet 16. From the initial meeting to the weeks leading up to her party, the day of the party and to the final delivery of the video after the party... Michael was the picture of videography perfection. He showed us several samples of his work and compared them to lesser quality videos so that we understood that what we were paying for would be worth every penny. The day of the party he was on-time TO THE MINUTE!! Our house was chaotic: full of guests and vendors but he turned it into a studio by staging our furniture and pictures perfectly for amazing video moments. And the drone footage was the cherry on top!! MP Wedding Films captured moments that we didn't even realize were happening. I cannot say enough about Michael and his team. No need to search any further. Book him right now! read more

Mp wedding films and Michael Padilla did an amazing job at our wedding! We got them because we saw the good quality of work they did at my brothers wedding and I knew I wanted them for my wedding as well. Our short film and our wedding video was amazing it seriously brought tears to my face because I relived that moment of our special day! Thank you Michael you seriously did an amazing job read more

My husband and I hired Mike and his team as our videographer for our wedding. We just received our video back & we were blown away! We were smiling through happy tears with how perfectly our day was captured. They put together a 7 minute trailer of all the happiness, love, & laughter that day brought & we are so happy with the results. They were extremely easy to work with & that is something we appreciated because we were planning our wedding from Northern California and were traveling down to Fullerton. Mike was extremely responsive and answered all our questions making the process stress free and seamless. Thank you to the entire MP Wedding Films team for everything! read more

We cannot give Michael Papilla from MP Wedding Films enough stars......our wedding trailer and full-feature wedding film was made into a spectacular story of how our 'best day ever' unfolded......his trailers and a recommendation from a friend of ours is what drew us to MP wedding films. Not only did Michael tell our love story, but the time, care and music selections he made from our special day went perfectly to our wedding theme. We had so much fun, and he was with us throughout our journey. He really cares about his craft and those he works with. I would recommend him and his company to any of my family and friends. He far exceeded our wedding expectations. He goes above and beyond and the quality is spectacular. In my Dad's words, "It was Hollywood quality". We will always remember our day with Michael's video of our wedding day. You will not regret choosing him as your cinematographer and his company! Thank you for making our day! read more

Michael did the most beautiful job in capturing my wedding! My wedding had a very early start so thank you Michael for waking up early on a Saturday to work. As soon as he arrived, he started to get to work. He was shooting the getting ready shots and detail shots of my morning dress/shoes. As soon as my groom arrived, the door games started and Michael made sure to have cameras from multiple different angles to get everything happening. There were close up shots of groomsmen making face, wide shots to see everything happening for the games, and a camera facing the bridesmaids to get their reactions and comments. Michael was very prepared to make sure to capture as much footage as possible. It was the same for the whole day, he had cameras for every angle; The tea ceremony, western ceremony, and reception! In the end, all the footage helped him make the most beautiful video. He picked the perfect music and compiled all the different shots to relive our most perfect day. Family would tell me that they would cry again as they were watching the video; Feeling all the feels all over. Michael also made sure to get the best audio for any speaking moments so he provided a clip on mic. Our vows were clearly heard in our video, as well as, any speeches that were made during the reception. It was pretty loud on the day of that I'm sure I missed some parts of people's speeches. Luckily the mic was used and now I get to watch my father in law's speech all over and hear him clearly! My husband and I are very happy with the end product from Michael. We cannot thank you enough for putting together such a beautiful video. We also loved that there is footage with our guests enjoying themselves at the wedding. It was nice to get to see some parts of our day where we may have not always been around to see. Side note, we got the hard drive with all the footage and loved that it came in a cute keepsake box with our photo on it. Always with the small details. Thank you so much! read more

We hired Michael as our wedding videographer for our wedding and we could not have been happier. His team was professional, on time and the video is we received is something our family will treasure forever. I didn't cry during my wedding but I tear up with joy everytime I watch it. Every moment captured was perfect. You will not regret hiring Michael and his team. We are very grateful our paths crossed and we highly recommend them!! read more

Michael and Elvis were absolutely AWESOME! I planned everything with Michael before my wedding day. On the day of, Michael and Elvis arrived on time to all locations! They worked smoothly alongside my photographer who they coincidentally have worked with before at another wedding. They are so friendly and outgoing yet professional! I felt like I could ask for anything and not feel judged - such as refusing to read my groom's letter aloud while opening his gift because I KNEW I was gonna burst out in tears and you wouldn't be able to understand me anyways! My hubby and I are not used to being in front of cameras, but Michael and Elvis made us feel less awkward about it! Michael and Elvis creatively posed us for certain shots (getting ready, mom helping with my dress, best man helping groom with tie, walking at the park, etc), but at the reception, they were following us around and recording everything! I never had to tell them where to be or what to shoot.. they were always just THERE! Our wedding trailer came a little over a month later and we LOVE IT SO MUCH!! The cinematic trailer truly captured every special moment so perfectly and we received such positive compliments on it! The drone footage of our church/venue and all those poses I felt awkward filming turned out soooo beautiful! My ugly crying was also minimal in the video so I'm grateful for that! We received our 90 minute feature film a few days later. We laughed, cried, and.. CRINGED at ourselves! =] It was so awesome to relive our wonderfully special day and notice more of the things we didn't notice on the day of! It's also nice to be able to show our wedding video to our loved ones who couldn't make it and we will show it to our future kids! Working with Michael from start to finish was easy breezy! One thing that really stood out is that his website is straightforward with pricing as opposed to other sites who want you to email them for pricing. He was also easy to communicate with! I DEFINITELY recommend Michael and his team!! read more

MP Wedding Films and Michael Papilla did an amazing job capturing my daughter's wedding at the Newport Dunes Resort in Newport Beach. Michael and his whole team were a pleasure to work with from the start. Extremely professional, talented, and FUN, he captured all the special moments throughout the day with beautiful videos. We decided to do the short video and the hour-long video, which was a smart decision. It was so wonderful but crazy that day, it was great to see the full wedding and highlights of the whole day that I did not get to personally see. Michael was extremely efficient and organized while coordinating with our photographer, it was important that the videographer and photographer were able to work well together and never got in each other's way. We are so happy we selected Michael and his team as the videographer for my daughter's wedding. He brought a calming energy that made the entire day even more enjoyable. Michael was incredible to work with and I highly recommend Michael and MP Wedding Films! Gail Newport Beach read more

Working with Michael on our wedding day was the best choice we made!! From the beginning, starting with his consult call, communicating with Michael was so easy. He is so detail oriented and we appreciated the time he took to walk us through everything and show us his previous work. our wedding video and trailer came out better than we could've expected!! definitely recommend him for your wedding needs!! read more

Finally circling back to leave a review after my wedding last year, and I would highly recommend Michael and his team for your wedding video needs. I'm a big believer of letting people just do what you've paid them to do, because sometimes the customer doesn't know what they actually want. Case in point, me. I wanted a nice wedding video, but I had no idea what that would or should look like. The worst kind of customer! But having seen Michael's past work, I trusted him to bring his creative talent and flair to our wedding videos, and he definitely did that. The videography was excellent, the editing was fantastic, and I really enjoyed being able to look back on the final product and seeing how my wedding looked from the "outside" -- because for me it was just running from one thing to another! I also appreciated Michael's experience with how to set up those epic looking shots, with the zooming and the panning and just overall great production value. All in all, if you've taken a look at some of the past videos Michael has done and liked them -- this is the guy for you. As a final note, Michael was very flexible and professional throughout the whole process, so that was another point in his favor. Thank you for being part of our big day Michael! read more

Michael and his team were AMAZING at my wedding. From the very beginning when I inquired about his services, he was very organized and responded promptly. When he delivered our finish product, I was very impressed with his work. Definitely high quality. I 100% encourage anyone thinking about getting a videographer to hire MP Wedding Films. You won't be disappointed. read more

MP Wedding Films - The ending pic of my video. Loved it! - Videographers Near Me

One word. Excellent! We first approached Mike in 2020 before being shut down by COVID. We were sold after our initial meeting and after reviewing some of his work. In the two year time frame it took for us to finally coordinate the wedding around the pandemic, he remained flexible around scheduling (granted we communicated with ample time). We love our feature and Trailer, he and his team did such a wonderful job capturing our wedding. The deliverables (Film and Trailer) were delivered before the deadline. Hands down, I would recommend to anyone, without any reservations, looking for a videographer to capture their special day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Michael was awesome at our wedding at the mission inn on 03-18-2023 ! VERY PROFESSIONAL AND REALLY GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND FOR HIS CLIENTS. 10/10 ! Im Beyond happy with our video he did for us . Thanks again ! read more

Michael and his team from MP Wedding Films are amazing! We found them through a preferred vendor list from our venue and were impressed by Michael's approach from the start. He took his time to listen and buy into our vision for the wedding video and his team hit a home run. Their customer service, attention to detail and overall quality is top notch. The day of the wedding Michael and the team were attentive, courteous, and supportive from start to finish. As discussed, Michael carried out each of our requests and created a beautiful story for us to cherish. After the wedding, Michael was responsive and kept us in the loop of the progress before providing the final product which we loved!!! Kudos to the team at MP Wedding Films for helping our family enjoy such a special day with the high-quality film they produced. Michael created a beautiful story! We highly recommend MP Wedding Films to capture your love story! read more

We were so lucky to have Michael and his team at MP Wedding Films capture our wedding last year! They did a fantastic job and we had an absolutely amazing experience with them. Michael captured an awesome mix of cinematic, candid, and romantic footage of our special day that we are so grateful we have to keep and relive. Michael and his team were a true pleasure to work with and we really can't recommend MP Wedding Films enough. read more

I don't even know what to say. Our video is AMAZING!! We only did a 4 minute trailer for our wedding, but what he captured in that small amount of time made us feel like we were there all over again!!! They are communicative, professional and super friendly!! Michael and Craig were absolutely the best on our wedding day. Craig even calmed me down in the elevator at our hotel because I was so nervous! Thank you Michael and Craig for capturing the most amazing moments of our lives. 100 stars if I could! They will make your special occasion the best you could ever imagine!!! THANK YOU!!!!!! 10.13.2019 read more

I am so glad that my husband insisted on hiring a videographer and that we hired Michael P and his crew. Michael and his crew came early and acted professionally. They did a good job of collaborating with our other vendors. Their presence was not intrusive at all. They were respectful of the church where we held our ceremony. I was pleasantly surprised on Wednesday, two days after my wedding, that I had a beautiful 1 minute trailer in my inbox. It was gorgeous and made me (1) excited about the filming and our initial decision (2) anxious to see our longer trailer AND hour long video. Hopefully the next 5 weeks goes by super fast! read more

Mike did a absolutely amazing job at our wedding!! Not only is he a super cool guy but incredibly talented! He is very on it leading up to the big day making sure he knows our schedule and all the events we want him to cover. He made sure to capture everything and got really creative. I highly recommend him as your future videographer to anyone reading this! He is amazing! read more

We hired Michael and his team for our wedding in January 2022. I found him through his reviews and decided to book him because I noticed how well he captured many aspects of the day in each preview. He was also very easy to talk to during the consultation phase. Fast forward to the wedding day, we knew we were in good hands. He knew exactly where to find the right shots and it worked out so well that he knew our photographers. My videographer and photographer duo gave me the energy I needed and took away any shyness in front of the camera. I recently received my video and I am blown away by how we really did capture everything and more. I am so thankful to him and I cannot recommend him enough as an investment for your day. Of all the things you spend on a wedding, make sure you have a videographer like Michael that can give you forever memories. read more

We were originally going with MCJ Photo to do both their photography and videography for our wedding. Unfortunately (fortunately!), their main videographer was already booked for our wedding date, but MCJ Photo recommended MP Films. They provided MP Film's contact information and website, where the bf (now hubby) and I were checking out the work. We definitely liked what we saw, especially the fact that we would tear up on the wedding videos of people we didn't even know. Talk about evoking emotion... So, I emailed MP Films and spoke to Michael. Very professional, very cordial, super-helpful and super-informative. We had all the info that we needed/wanted from the first phone call/email (and the website has a lot of information), where he did request to meet us in person to answer any other questions. Because his work spoke for him, the meeting to us was mostly a formality, where our ultimate plan was to sign the contract that day. Do note that depending on the season, he may not be able to meet during a weekend, as he could be shooting a wedding that day! But, Michael will definitely put someone on his schedule if he can commit to it. We met him at his original office in San Dimas. There was a little hiccup, and the meeting time was delayed, but Michael was able to rectify that down the line. Once we met him, we sat down, saw a few of his videos to give us an idea of what a particular package would offer, loved what we saw and how we felt with Michael, and we put in our deposit and signed the contract that day. Over the course of the next several months, Michael and I would email each other, mostly me emailing him with questions and double-checking with him on what he needed from us. Very smooth, very thorough. I, admittedly, checked other videographers' blogs to make sure that I wasn't forgetting anything and that I was fully prepared on what was going to happen on the wedding (eek!). I messaged him the day before the wedding to verify the hotel address, the venue's address, and the hotel rooms that we would be staying at. Michael and his team were on time on the day of our wedding. He greeted me, and then went down to business. Set up the tripods, took the shots of the dress/jewelry, took shots of certain things I requested (knives, watches, presents, etc.), etc. He and his partner communicated well with each other, with myself, with the wedding party, and he wouldn't stop shooting until he got the shot he wanted. Brides: make sure you are comfortable in your dress/makeup/shoes for the entire day, and that you're able to smile a LOT for the entire day. Grooms: be on time, be cool, and, remember, you're making the bride, the love of your life, look even more beautiful. We provided him a parking pass for both the hotel and the venue, so make sure you provide this to him ahead of time (we were able to day-of with no issues). Couples: I would suggest providing at least some snackage for your vendors and wedding party. It's amazing how hungry one can get when hungry. The rest of the night was a blur. I know we had 3 cameras running, but we didn't really notice them or knew where they were. That's how smoothly MP Films was able to coordinate themselves and find ideal shooting locations. Michael found us personally at the end of the night when he was leaving, we got our selfie shots, and hugged/shook hands. We had requested, when we first signed our contract, to have all of the raw footage, which Michael was very happy to oblige. I provided him a large external harddrive on the day of the wedding before he started shooting, where he stored it in a safe area. We spoke to him a week later, met him, and got all of the raw footage, where I started bawling again at some of the shots when hubby and I got home. The shots were great, there were a lot of awesome views that we wouldn't have seen, and there were some cute creative outlooks. It definitely made us eager to see how the video/trailer would turn out. When we signed our contract, we were aware that he would need a 10- to 12-week timeline when everything would be complete. Unfortunately, by the time of the 12-week deadline, he was not done. As hubby and I have done our own amateur video editing, we understood that having a lot of footage and editing it into either 60 minutes or even 4 minutes is very difficult, so we asked him to take his time and finish the other projects where his customers needed the videos more. He did provide us a preview of our 60-minute video at that time and it looked awesome on the portions that he edited. We got our 4 minute trailer to share with our friends/families at the 20-week mark. Still haven't received the DVD/CD with our 60-minute video on it, but it should be here in a week. Bottom line: awesome work, very professional, and it's a great team. He worked well with our photographers, and he got all of the shots we wanted in such a small time frame. read more

We just got our trailer and feature this past week, exactly within the timeframe of our contract as promised, and we absolutely love them. We are so glad we chose MPWeddingFilms as our videographer for our wedding day. Within the first minute of watching our trailer for the first time, I was emotional and brought to tears of joy. My husband and I couldn't stop smiling as we watched the trailer together. We've even had family and friends reach out to us and tell us that they loved our trailer and that they were brought to tears also. We are so grateful to Mike and his team at MPWeddingFilms for their hard work, and we would highly recommend them! Throughout the entire process, Mike was helpful, organized, knowledgeable, reliable, and professional. He was always willing to answer any questions we had along the way, and he always responded to us in a timely manner. He also assisted us by thoughtfully explaining all of our package/payment options so that we could stay within our budget, and after everything, we are certain that the quality of our videos was well worth the price! We also really appreciated Mike's thoroughness and attention to detail. It was great that he took the time to stay in close contact with us and ask us about all the important information about our celebration. He sent us a questionnaire and made sure that he was well aware of all the details of our timeline of events, so that he would be able to capture every meaningful moment. We also loved that he encouraged us to make song choices for our videos -- his video edits matched our song choices in a way that was so meaningful. We are also grateful for the passion and compassion that Mike puts into the work he does. When things got stressful during the week and day of our wedding, Mike's positive personality, understanding, and professionalism definitely helped us get through those challenging moments. There was also a moment during our wedding where the DJ played a different version of one of our requested songs, and Mike was able to edit the music/sound in our feature video, so that we will be able to hear the right song version whenever we want to watch footage of that special moment. The best part was that we actually enjoyed spending time with the MPWeddingFilms team on the day of our wedding! They were supportive, positive, professional, flexible, fun, and creative! They even worked really well with our photographers, so that neither of them were ever "competing" to capture a moment or getting in each others' way. Mike and his team actually ended up coming up with some really creative ideas with our photographers on the spot, which we now realize really helped us get the most irreplaceable pictures and videos from our special day. We really believe that working with MPWeddingFilms helped us have a more joyful and unforgettable celebration! The trailer and feature were put together and edited so well that the videos really brought us back to all the emotions and feelings from our wedding day, and that's how we know MPWeddingFilms was the perfect fit for us. Thank you MPWeddingFilms for capturing these moments on our wedding day so beautifully! Thank you for giving us a way to relive these happy memories! https://vimeo.com/306304016 read more

We used MP Wedding Films as our videographer for our wedding last year. Michael was a pleasure to speak with and answered all my questions during our initial call. I really appreciated how transparent he was. There were no surprises when he sent over the contract! :) Michael was exceptional on our wedding day. We had scheduling constraints and Michael went out of his way to adjust in order to ensure he could get footage to make our video even more special. When we got our wedding videos, Michael and his team did such an amazing job with the quality of the footage and the editing with the music. I cried tears of joy as I watched the videos and relived our special day. I literally felt like I was walking down the aisle and smiling at our reception all over again! I didn't think that was possible, but Michael and his team captured every moment and feeling from our wedding day. This has truly been a gift and I'm looking forward to reliving one of the best days of my life throughout the coming years. read more

Michael and his team did an amazing job as our Videographer for our wedding!! He is very knowledgable and professional! His team guided us through the entire evening where we didn't have to think! which made our wedding more enjoyable. I would definetly recommend Michael as he created our Trailer + 60 Minute video and will upload it to Youtube where anyone can enjoy!! read more

I was referred to Michael by the DJ we chose for our wedding and I am SO happy we booked with MP Wedding Films. Our consultation with Michael was great and I like how straight forward his website is with his pricing and FAQ. I watched a few of the trailers of his work and knew to book him ASAP! He is so friendly and communicative. He worked around our wedding timeline to make sure he can capture our ceremony and reception with our decor before our guests arrived. We did our vows in private and had the clip on mic to get the best audio. In about 12 weeks we received our trailer and feature and wow Michael did amazing!! Everything turned out SO beautiful. He really captured all of our special moments in a story telling way. The editing is outstanding, the music flows so well, we love it all! It makes me teary eyed and I feel like it was just yesterday we got married. Michael you are so talented and professional. I highly recommend to anyone getting married and book him. His cinematography is beyond amazing!! :) read more

Mike and he team are simply the best! Mike was kind and answered all my questions the entire time and helped guide me through the entire process. I used him and his team for my wedding a few days ago and we had so much fun the entire time! They are so creative! They made us feel special the entire time. I wish I could back in time but we are totally looking forward to the end product! They have reasonable prices for the great work they do (I stalked and did my research ). You should definitely give them a call. read more

I am a wedding photographer and have worked with many video teams. Michael and his team by far have been the best to work with. They all seem like they would work well with any photographer. I would highly recommend Michael if you are looking for amazing video. read more

Michael has become such an integral part of our celebrations that I have planned my events in a way to make sure that he is guaranteed to be with us. He's captured our children's Bar/Bat Mitzvahs in a memorable way. It's always more than I could ever expect or imagine. Michael is a consumate professional - organized and communicative. He makes sure to go over all details of the event so he is clear on timing or special circumstances. He checks in prior to the event to confirm and arrives early. His friendly attitude and demeanor makes him easy to work with. The way he frames shots and the footage is unparalled. Not only is Michael's work amazing, even more importantly, he is a wonderful person. This makes everything feel so stress free and it comes out in the way he captures the event. Our videos are keepsakes we have watched over and over that we will cherish forever! read more

Michael and his team are amazing and I would definitely recommend to every couple in need of a wedding videographer! From the beginning Michael met all of our needs, answered all questions we had and always got back to us quickly. Him and his team are very creative, pays close attention to details and very easy to work with. The trailer we received was far better than we could have imagined. We decided to add on a full film and we do not regret it. The films he has created for us are incredible and we will forever cherish them!! Highly recommend!!!! read more

An MP Wedding Film is a CINEMATIC EXPERIENCE! I've seen wedding films and they've all been very similar. Preparation, ceremony and reception. But, that's it! They're like wedding flip books. Still shots in succession. When I saw Michael's film my jaw dropped. It seemed like so much more. He took my MOH's speech and our preacher's words and turned it into the theme of our wedding. It was breathtaking! I couldn't be more pleased. Our family and friends who've seen it said they really felt the love of a Marine who protects and a nurse who heals. Our theme seamlessly throughout a DVD no longer than a weekly sitcom. We love our film. Onto the details! Michael was very professional. He and his associate arrived right on time as I was getting ready. I had totally forgotten they were coming and didn't really notice they were there. They allowed the process to happen without giving too many direction. Which is yet another reason we were so surprised at the quality of our film. We didn't even realize how much they did!! They took shots of things that we didn't even notice on our wedding day. I think most importantly, MP Wedding Films, made us feel like a couple. We weren't clients and we weren't another contract. We were people. My husband was deploying. When Michael found out, he texted me and said he was bumping up our pick up date. He made sure my husband and I could watch it together prior to his departure. MP Wedding Films is worth every cent! After seeing our film and trailer (as well as the additional trailers on the website) I can tell you this...MP Wedding Films creates a cinematic experience that allows your wedding to become the introduction to your life story. MP Wedding Films is like the first 10 minutes of the Disney movie Up!, your love story from the beginning. read more

My husband & I got married this past January 02, 2015 at Bridges Auditorium in Claremont. Here is a wedding trailer Michael and his team put together of our wedding day ... https://vimeo.com/122169576 Password: wedding And on Instagram you can find our 15 sec trailer on my husband's page, @rmtran I can't say enough how much my family and I loved the trailer and the wedding video footage itself. We were so blessed to have Michael and his talented team film our special day. He definitely captured some great moments that made my husband and I want to relive our wedding day all over again. I would definitely recommend you have MP films capture your special day. read more

MP Wedding Films is great! I can't wait to use them at more upcoming events. When I used to think of "videographers," I thought of pushy people with big cameras that get in the way of all the action for the sake of getting their "shot." With MP, that's not what I got. Michael arrived 30 minutes earlier than agreed. He scouted the area, took his scenic shots and then blended in with the guests. He was so well blended in that I almost forgot he was there at times! The event went on seamlessly. He gave us no pressure, helped us keep calm during the times we got overwhelmed and brought out the best in our guests. Most importantly, when Michael delivered the final product, it was better than I could have ever expected! It was full of surprises and creative angles I myself didn't see during the whole event. I believe hiring MP was the best investment that we made for our party. We spent so much on decorations, food, the venue, invitations and everything else, that the best way to preserve those memories forever is by hiring a professional videographer that will capture the best overall view of the event. If you entrust the job to just family or friends, we all know it will either be just focused on their certain circle of friends or footage of their drunken craziness. Great quality, impeccable professionalism, very punctual and highly creative. read more

Where do I start? Awesome experience from the consult day, up to the day we received our Copies. Mr. Papilla's production is exactly as advertised, if not better! My wife and I were shocked at how much footage him and his team were able to capture, because frankly, the only time we ever notice them was when we do our solo "couple" shots away from everyone else. His videos are very cinematic and everything is so smooth! My wife and I watch our wedding video every year as part of our wedding anniversary tradition. To this day, were still amazed at how everything was presented! No doubt that We'd pick MP Wedding Films everytime we had to pick. His price is very fair, and I felt like we got a lot more than what we paid for! read more

Michael was awesome! He arrived on time and worked well with my photographer. I was beyond happy with my trailer, but thought I was biased. However, I couldn't even count how many compliments I got about how amazing it was! I still hear about it. Michael was very professional, fun, priced fairly, always made sure to get good shots, and his ability to pull the footage together and make it into a beautiful memory is more then I could have ever asked. He definitely exceeded my expectations. https://vimeo.com/349238180 read more

Our wedding was September 7th 2014 at La Venta Inn. Michael and his team at MP Wedding Films went above and beyond; we now have an amazingly beautiful wedding film and trailer forever! We are thrilled with our decision to go with MP Wedding Films! They did a fabulous job with audio combining the music we selected with speeches and voices from the day. Michael captured all of our most special moments and put it together in the flawless final product that we are excited to share. Michael is not only talented and creative, but easy to work with and flexible. I have to admit I pulled a bridezilla move and asked Michael to make a small change in out trailer after he had sent us the Final DVDs. Michael agreed to make the change without hesitation and did exactly what I requested to perfect the video. We absolutely love the final product. Thank you, MP Wedding Films! I am confident that you will continue making newlyweds smile back on the best day of their lives! :) read more

Of course I turned to Yelp when looking for a wedding videographer :P I looked into about 7-8 videographers, and decided on MP Wedding Films due to their great Yelp reviews, package cost, videography style, and the ability to use licensed songs. My husband and I set up a video chat with Michael before booking him. He was very professional, responsive to emails, and he and his team were a pleasure to work with. We received our wedding trailer and the video a few days early and were very pleased with his work. I would definitely recommend MP Wedding Films if you need a videographer :) read more

I can't say enough about MP films! Our wedding trailer and video exceeded our expectations. We tear up every time we watch our trailer. I love how he was able to capture the love and beauty of our wedding in a 3 minute mini film. As much as we love to watch our video we know not everyone wants to sit through a 2 hour wedding video so having a mini version is perfect! We had a wedding video viewing party with our friends and family and received countless compliments on our video. I would recommend him to all our friends and family. Thank you Michael for capturing memories we will always cherish. Love, Mr. and Mrs. Gonzalez read more
