Mike is a total pleasure to work with and creates beautiful, incredible films. A lot of people can throw together a video with music blasting on top of images, but it takes a real artist to create an incredible film that tells the story of the day (or in our case, the weekend).

We wanted something very specific - something that told a story, wasn't just a video about getting ready during the day, and I really wanted some of the most special moments audible during the film. Mike delivered perfectly.

He put together a great collection of shots and footage that are totally flattering, which shows an impressive attention to detail.

In our film, he took my Rabbi's words about light and mixed in film from the day, it is truly cinematic. He included my father's speech, beautiful, and somehow managed to include part of my vows without the ugly crying.

Mike and his filming partners were perfectly comfortable to be around. Most of the time, we didn't notice them. They are friendly, and welcoming, and I would even say calming forces in a day (or days) of crazy chaos.

I created my own rating scale, below, and note, I was planning this STL wedding from Seattle.

Communication - Perfect
Ability/ ease of paying/ contracting - Perfect
Execution of crazy bride ideas - Perfect
Value - Incredible -- Unlike most of the things you pay for during your wedding, you will have this forever. I understand its an expense, but absolutely, totally worth it. Videography is the one thing everyone regrets not getting from their wedding.

We highly recommend hiring Mike. Do it, you'll be happy!

One word - AMAZING! Mike was so much fun to work with and I had total confidence in him throughout the entire process. Our video turned out better then I could have imagined. I watch it almost every day! I almost didn't invest in video because I wanted to save money to budget for other things, but this was by far the best decision we made in the planning process! THANK YOU!!!

Mike Dalton was our videographer for our wedding last November. He impressed us from our very first meeting and continued to do so even after our wedding! Mike is extremely talented. My husband and I were not planning on hiring a videographer. 2 months before our wedding, we started rethinking this and heard about Mike through my husband's coworker. We viewed some of his wedding videos and knew that we had to consider it more seriously. Mike worked with us to determine exactly what type of video we wanted. On the day of the wedding, he and his 2nd shooter were at the hotel with us bright and early to capture all of the highlights of the day. They were with us until almost 11 o'clock that night. Both Mike and Jake were so nice and fun to work with. We could not be more pleased with the finished product! My husband and I both agree that hiring a videographer was one of the best things we did for the day of our wedding and we could not have found a better videographer than Mike!
