Scam artist
Do NOT book with Michael Garza, nontraweddings, for anything. This man is a scam artist. Excuse after excuse, 8 months since our wedding and a year since our initial engagement shoot and he still hasn't delivered what we paid him $6190 for. The pictures he took are not at all like what he advertises. Those are staged for a bait and switch. That's not what we received. It took over 2 months for our pictures, then another 2 months for our raw footage which is so terrible we can't share it. The raw video he had filmed by his "intern" who couldn't hold the camera steady and filmed the ceiling during speeches. We were in disbelief, a child could have held the camera better. The angles are weird and uncentered, parts are missing, it's just awful. He never provided our drone footage, our feature video, or any of the edits we asked for that were included in the price. We gave him a final deadline last month and he assured me he would meet it, but added in that he was bankrupt. He did not meet the deadline. We don't have much because we asked guests to be present with us and not film since we had a "professional". Very sad overall. We ignored red flags and went with Michael because he was recommended by our venue, and had these raving, probably fake, 5 star Google reviews. He was not punctual at our engagement shoot, and that bubbly personality he has disappeared once he was paid in full. We are not the only couple he has recently scammed. Book anyone besides Michael Garza and his team. The wedding industry can be so predatory toward couples, and Michael is one of those vultures. If you already booked him, back out! He'll lie to ruin your memories to make a quick buck.
