Truly, pick the right people to support you on your big day because it makes all the difference. My wife and I are extremely fortunately to have chosen MiCha Videography

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.

They say, save the best for the last. If you wish to have an exceptional debut milestone video that is both remarkable and unique, we suggest that you contact Michael Mendoza of MiCha Videography.
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.

MiCha videography was recommended by our photographer and we were very impressed! Michael was very communicative, punctual, and professional. The quality of his work is amazing!

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!!

MiCha Videography was recommended to us by our wedding photographer. After checking out their previous works on social media, we reach out to them to inquire about their prices and packages. We ended up customizing our package as one item that we really wanted was a same day edit video to present as part of our reception program. When I asked if this is something they offered, Michael quickly responded and said it was one of their specialities and was able to add it to our package. We trusted in MiCha's team and our videos turned out great. All of the final videos we received put a huge smile on our faces while also bringing us to tears (in a good way though!) They were able to capture a lot of great moments through out our wedding day and put it together in a very cinematic way. We especially got a lot of complements from our guests that they really enjoyed the same day edit. It was so easy to work with them, and Michael and his team responded so quickly to our emails with any questions or concerns that we had. They were professional, fun, organized, and easy to communicate with. It was also nice working with them since they also knew and worked with some of our other wedding vendors before. Would highly recommend MiCha Videography for any of your wedding or other special event needs.

Mike has captured some of the most beautiful moments in our lives. We absolutely love the maternity photographs and the photos he took were simple and yet stunning! You made us feel at ease and so comfortable, specially for Patrick and I who dont take pictures as much as we should. You have done a spectacular job, Mike! Thank you for creating such special memories.

Michael went above and beyond what I expected in my graduation video. He really captured the feeling and theme I imagined in my head. Michael was very professional and knew how to guide me when speaking and looking at the camera. His skills are very impressive and he is very detail-oriented from the video quality, background music, and camera angles. I give high praise to Michael for helping with my grad video and will definitely reccomend him to anyone looking to hire professional photography/videography for any special occasion.

Michael is a great photographer and person and it is a pleasure to work with him. We had several family photo sessions with him, including a full day party event in 2019 with him and his team, and were always very pleased with the results. Last week we had our son's second birthday family photoshoot and we already have the results and they look great. He captures our son's happiness and laughter very well. We warmly recommend him.

Every year as a family tradition my family and I take family photos. And every year I've found it very difficult to book a great photographer. We've had photographer be late, not show up, forget their batteries to their cameras, never receive our photos until several months after we've taken our pictures and we even had a photographer lose their patience with such a large family.

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!

Michael and his team were a DREAM to work with! They were perfection from start to finish! They are professional and fun at the same time and they make you feel so comfortable, which helped me relax during the big day and actually have fun! You can tell they have a lot of experience and knows the right angles.  For the brides that are camera shy or are anxious about what to do, don't worry because they will direct you and you encourage you every time! Definitely the best HYPE team ever!! They were also able to provide a same edit highlight video which we were able to show during our reception!  They are THAT talented and creative.  Thank you, MiCha Videography for capturing the true spirit of our love and marriage.

DON'T EVEN TRY TO LOOK FOR ANOTHER VIDEOGRAPHER!  They are the best and have the best prices!

About

Michael Mendoza
Videographer Michael Mendoza About me

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.
