MiCha = Michael + Charimel. Just like how our name is created, we will create a beautiful memory that shows your connection to each other and how you two are meant to be together.
My name is Michael Mendoza, a husband and a father of two who loves the challenge of creating great memories. Since I started as a cinematographer in 2010, I have produced hundreds of wedding films, corporate events, and training videos. I am fun and easy to work with.
I enjoy the moment and sometimes find myself crying during vow exchange or speeches. My genuine emotion comes out while capturing all the moments of the wedding day. From the bride and groom's preparation, ceremony exchanging vows, the first kiss as a husband and wife, first dance, support of the family and friends, and speeches.
Being a part of the wedding day is an honor as a guest. As a cinematographer, I feel honored and privileged to capture and create a film to be relived over and over again.

Although the wedding day went by quickly, they guided us through the poses, the steps, for the videos. Other times, they just hung out in the back filming us, letting the events just occur. My wife remembered Michael just popping out and commenting "You know we're filming right?" and smirking after she and her girls made funny faces after finishing their shots. They are spontaneous to anything you envision in your wedding or occasion. They are such a pleasant bunch to be with! Never once did we feel uncomfortable or out of place. They are especially coordinated with the venues and staff they've worked with before too.
Key takeaways are that Michael and his colleague, Macy, are super punctual, fun, attentive, supportive, and well-balanced between professional and humorous. The videos came out splendid and we couldn't be more happy.
My wife and I would recommend MiCha's Videography in a heartbeat if anyone needs videography services.
His team is based in the Bay Area who have perfected the art of making debut films, capturing the beautiful, raw emotions of the debutant. In addition, they feature amazing editing skills and a great selection of music. Their film aims to tell stories that matter to the debutant and their families. It would trigger memories of one of the best moments of their lives each time you watch it. With artistic flair in motion and angles, the film they made for my daughter allowed us to fly back in time exactly how it was that day - the same butterflies as my daughter entered center stage; the same tears I've had each time I hear my speech for her. They start working even before the event day. They made an effort to meet and get to know us - both the debutant as an individual and our family. It gives them the dynamics and a better perspective that lets him find where to anchor the storytelling. Being familiar with the subjects also allows him to shoot as raw and natural as possible, staying close to the heart of every second passing. They meticulously encapsulate genuine emotions and little gestures in every single clip of our family and guest that day, while investing time and effort to watch their captures raw. All of these done so to provide a unique and personal touch. The final result is a debut film with captured fleeting moments preserved as a lifetime memento for our family that we will never forget and will forever watch over and over again.
We didn't really have a plan on what to do during our wedding day but he knew what he was doing based on experience, which put us as ease. He coordinated with my photographer which made our day go by smoothly.
The quality of our videos that we received was everything we could ask for! I felt like I was encapsulated back into my wedding, which is exactly how we wanted to feel. He captured our most precious moments.
Michael and his team really are amazing! I highly recommend them!!
You see my household is a family of 7 two adults and 5 kids. And one of my children is a toddler who is full of life...lol Well MiCha Videography was EVERYTHING that we needed. Weeks before we our photo shoot, we were contacted about location and ideas. The day of our photo shoot Michael at MiCha Videography was at the location before we arrived, prepared and ready to go. He had so much patience with our four year who is FULL of life. There was never a time that we felt rushed. And we received our photos in a timely manner and our pictures came out simply BEAUTIFUL!!! I'm so impressed by the professionalism that MiCha Videography had. I would definitely recommend MiCha Videography!
DON'T EVEN TRY TO LOOK FOR ANOTHER VIDEOGRAPHER! They are the best and have the best prices!
