Experience
Hiring a wedding videographer feels like a leap of faith. You're trusting a stranger with a day you can't redo.
So let me take the mystery out of it. Here's exactly what happens when you book Michael McCaleb Films.
Let’s get acquainted
Great films don't start with a camera. They start with a conversation.
Before your wedding, we'll meet online or in-person, and I'll ask the questions that matter. How did you meet? Who are the people you can't imagine the day without? What moment are you most afraid of missing?
By the time your day arrives, I'm not a vendor showing up with gear. I'm someone who knows your story and knows exactly where to point the lens.
You'll also get a final walkthrough call, so nothing falls through the cracks.
This is my promise. On your wedding day, you have one job: be present.
I handle the rest.
Here's what that looks like:
Hours of coverage. From getting ready to the last dance. The full story.
A second shooter on every wedding. Two angles on every big moment, so nothing gets missed.
Multichannel audio. Your vows, your toasts, the words whispered at the first look. Captured clean.
Cinema-grade cameras. I shoot on professional cinema cameras built for beautiful, true-to-life color.
Drone coverage. Your venue and your day from above.
And through all of it, I stay calm and I stay invisible.
While you're on your honeymoon, I'm in the edit — going through every frame, finding the moments you didn't even know happened.
Here's what you get:
Your feature film. A 8-15 minute cinematic film, built around your vows, your toasts, and your people. Edited and color-graded by hand.
Full ceremony & toasts edits. Every word, uncut, start to finish.
Highlight reel for sharing. A short cut made for the group chat.
Raw footage. Every second we filmed, yours to keep.
Delivered in weeks, in an online gallery you can share with anyone, anywhere.
The Part Nobody Tells You…
Your wedding film gets better with age.
Year one, it's a highlight. Year ten, it's a time machine. Year thirty, it's the only place your kids will ever hear certain voices again.
I've filmed over 900 weddings. The couples who reach out years later never say "thanks for the cool video." They say "thank you for giving us that day back."
That's the job. That's the whole job.
