Testimonials:

Pros: Great editing skills, professional, on-time, delivers what they promise!

Cons: Make sure to preview the video before sending the CD in order to make any changes.

The video produced by Mike Cantarell Films (former Cancun Wedding Video) of my wedding blew me away!  It was so creative and beautiful!  When I first hired Cancun Wedding Video, I didn’t expect much from my wedding video.  I just wanted my wedding captured on film to remember the moments, but it actually turned out to be the highlight of my wedding.   All thanks to Mike Cantarell Films!   It was the best money I ever spent!  What was different about Mike Cantarell Films was that they didn’t just film the wedding from the beginning to end and put it on a CD, which can be very boring.  They took the raw footage and edited it so it was more interesting, faster paced and grabbed your attention – like a movie or music video.  They added mood shot s and footage of the wedding site that were spectacular.  Since our wedding was on a gorgeous beach in Playa del Carmen, the video really showed the beauty of the location.  At the same time, they still captured all the unforgettable moments of our wedding, our vows, the speeches, etc.   After adding our favorite music in the background, in addition to the creative editing, it makes the wedding even more amazing to watch, emotional and memorable!

Jerry Guzman, our videographer, assigned to our wedding was the nicest guy you will ever meet.  He was on time and completely professional.  He always stayed in the background to not interfere with the photographer, but was still able to film the wedding perfectly.  His editing skills were fabulous!  Mike Cantarell who runs the company was very responsive to all of my questions and proactive in confirming dates and times.  I never had to worry about whether they would show up for my wedding or do a good job for me.  They did everything they promised and more, which is so hard to find these days!   The only suggestion I would make is to have your assigned videographer put your wedding video online, so you can preview it before they send you the final copies.  Sometimes you want to make small tweaks.  Since shipping is so expensive from Mexico to the States, you want to make sure they make those changes and preview them before they send you the wedding cds.  I highly recommend Mike Cantarell Films as a videographer for your wedding.  It will be the best decision you ever make for your wedding!

Pros: Professional. Friendly. Creative.

Cons: None

We are so thrilled that our search to find a wedding videographer and photographer lead us to these guys. They were so amazing. Their team was super professional, creative, friendly, and accommodating. They went above and beyond to ensure they captured the essence of our wedding. The day of our wedding it was pouring but the team came back the following day to ensure that we had photos we had envisioned of a sunny day on the beach. I would happily recommend them to anyone who is looking for for an excellent company in Mexico – you will be so happy you chose them!

Pros: Dependable, great work

Cons: None

My husband and I were thrilled with our wedding ceremony video; the videographer met he and I at the airport on our departure day so we could have it right away.  I never thought I would watch the video, but I’m so happy we got it – I’ve watched it four times already – it’s great to relive the day.

Pros: Quality Video, Creative, Awesome angles, Professional, On-Time, Price, Quick Delivery!

Cons: NO CONS

After doing extensive research on wedding videos in the Cancun/Riviera Maya area, we found that Mike Cantarell Films (former Cancun Wedding Video) was definitely the best and most reasonable pricing for the amazing quality of work produced.  We made sure to watch all of the highlight videos MCF had and fell in love with all of them.  Immediately we knew these were the video guys for us!

Mike (the owner), responded to all of my emails almost within 24 hours every time!  (I wrote many emails to him…he must of that I was nuts!)  He was so nice to answer every one of my questions and concerns.   I always felt that he was on top of things and never once felt stressed out about whether or not he was going to show up, be on time, and work hard.  These guys were INCREDIBLE.  They never stopped once to take a break.  (Well they did for dinner…but seriously ate FAST.)  They were still able to catch all of the speeches made during dinner.  My family was VERY impressed with how hard they worked.

What was funny about Mike and his assistant, Eddie, was that you would forget they were there.  They made you feel so comfortable with them around that you never once felt that you had video cameras in your face.  They didn’t say much the entire time and they knew exactly what they were doing.  By the end of the night I felt like these guys had worked so hard, but I barely got to see or speak to them; though they were with us the whole day!

When we got home, we were so anxious to see our highlight video that I checked the site, “VIMEO” every day!  I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw our names there only 3 days after we had gotten back and only about a week and half after our wedding.  The video was AWESOME! Better than we could have expected! They made the day look even more beautiful than we could remember it was.  The angles of the camera and the editing was amazing!  I had our video on facebook within minutes and had everyone in awe over it!

Thanks Mike for your wonderful and talented work!  I would highly recommend you and your co-workers to anyone looking for videography in Cancun!  Simply The Best!

Pros: Price, quality,

Cons: None

Mike Cantarell with Mike Cantarell Films was fabulous! Videography was not in our budget when we started to plan our wedding but a few months prior to the wedding date we decided to squeeze it in and we are so glad we did! We booked him for 5 hours and then we paid for an additional hour so that he can capture some of the fun we were having. When we got the video back I got relive the day over and over again. In fact, I have only had the video back for a week and I have seen it 10 times! Everyone who was unable to make it to our destination wedding was able to see how magical it was. Words cannot describe how incredible our wedding was. Only those that were able to come can truly understand but the video makes it possible for everyone to see how amazing it was and how much fun we had. I love my video and I will watch it again and again for years to come. He did such a great job of adding music to match what was happening in the video. It is seriously like a movie and my husband and I are the main characters. People we show are blown away by the quality and the way it is put together. The price he charges is so worth it. It was worth every penny to have this video and be able to watch it for years to come. We dont have kids yet but I am so excited to be able to show this to my kids when they are old enough. How cool is that going to be!

It is your big day… be cheap in areas that don’t matter so that you can splurge in areas that really do matter the most. Book Mike Cantarell Films to capture your wedding day!

Pros: Price, Quality, Communication, Friendliness

Cons: None

My husband wanted a videographer at our wedding, and I was so sad because I felt we could not afford it.  I am so glad that I cut money in other places to get a video.  I booked Mike Cantarell Films after another bride told me how great her experience was with them.  I am so glad that I booked them.  Mike Cantarell was our videographer and he was AWESOME.  He arrived in my room and captured moments, that to some, may look like terror, but in reality were just anxiety and excitement over the events to come.  He was so kind, and not intrusive.  There were parts of our big day that became a blur to me, but he captured everything that I missed.  I cannot wait until we get our wedding video in the mail because if the highlights video is any indication, I know my husband and I will be in Never Never Land as we relive our day over and over again.  I’m so glad we bought copies for our parents…they are going to love it!  Thanks Mike for doing such a wonderful job.  If I had to do it over again, we would have hired you for 8 hours instead of 5.

I’m so glad I listened to my husband!  If you have any doubts about Mike and Mike Cantarell Films (former Cancun Wedding Video), trust me, you have NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT!

Thanks again for everything Mike.  You are a true professional.

Pros: Very professional…. got the images that I wanted.

Cons: None

What a wonderful experience with Mike Cantarell Films (former Cancun Wedding Videography).  I am the father of the bride and also a professional photographer. I worked with Eddie for the video coverage…. and he did a GREAT job. As a photographer who has photographed hundreds of weddings over the past thirty years and worked with lots of videographers…. I can tell you that Eddie was a true professional!  He was easy to work with….showed up on time….had excellent equipment….and got the true “flavor” or the wedding day.  It was nice that he had good wireless mics to pick up the ceremony.  It sounded real good on the playback….much better than it sounded on the outdoor PA system.  You can hear every word of the minister, bride , and groom.

Eddie was there for all the events… from the bride and groom getting ready….the ceremony…the formals….special romantic shots….and all the fun and festivities at the reception. REAL PROFESSIONAL !  I would definitely recommend Mike Cantarell Films for your video coverage!

Thanks…

Pros: Everything!

Cons: absolutely none

The first thing I did after getting engaged and deciding on the location for our wedding was book Claudia Rodriguez as our photographer. This is how I learned of Mike and his team with Mike Cantarell Films. From the first highlights video I watched I became completely obsessed and throughout my entire planning process would always watch these videos in awe.
At first, I didn’t think we needed video. Then after seeing Mike’s work, I decided OK maybe just for the ceremony would be nice. By the time we reached the week before our wedding, it was completely clear that I needed to 1/ book more time in my package and 2/ add a cinema style highlight video in addition to the full-length video we were already expecting. BEST last minute decisions I made.
My husband dabbles a little in video editing and we both agree Mike is a PRO at what he does. His attention to detail can’t be missed in his work and it’s highly evident that he treats EACH one he does with the same passion and thoughtfulness as (I’m sure) the very first one he ever did.
The key to a good videographer is all in the editing process… and Mike excels at this. The clips shift at every beat to the music being played and keeps you SO engaged to see what he’s getting to next.
My husband likes to joke and say he’s like a ninja, because there were clips/shots of video that at the time of him shooting, we didn’t even know he was there! He’s THAT good.
Overall, Mike is so genuine, friendly, and extremely professional.
We only hire the best and I can tell you now that Mike Cantarell Films is for sure the ABSOLUTE best one to hire for your video needs in the Yucatan. My only regret is that I wish I had more money in our budget so I could have had the BIGGEST video package they offer. I can’t stop watching my highlights video and we can’t wait to get our hands on the full-length DVD so we can watch it over and over and over. One other big plus is that they’re on Facebook – once it was posted my video practically went viral instantly between my family and friends…. AMAZING, instant gratification.
Do yourself a favor and hire Mike and his team to do your wedding.. It will be one of the best decisions you made during the process – promise.
