AMAZING WORK

 

Pros: Amazing shots of our wedding, team stood with us until the very end (our wedding got interrupted by rain)

Cons: Nothing major. Timing of video took a little while but the team was sure to respond to all of our emails.

We loved working with Jerry and Eduardo! Our video was more than we would have ever imagined it to be.

My husband and I did our research on the best videographers in Cancun and this team is by far the best. We did not want to go with the choice the resort provided us so we decided to go with Mike and his team and we made the correct choice!

We got married on June 29th 2013 at the Moon Palace in Cancun. The team was very pleasant to work with, they were very energetic and just all together amazing! I highly recommend them to anyone getting married in the Cancun area.

All of the songs we picked were in the video and a few that they chose, I loved their choices on songs as it set the mood perfectly with the events happening in the video. Also, a huge storm broke out in the middle of the speeches and the team did not stop filming! Their work ethic is fantastic, they remained with us until the very end and stopped filming only when their cameras began to get affected by the storm.

Just want to say a huge thank you to Mike and his team for making our day so special! Pictures and Videos are the only things left from that day and I’m glad we chose them as the team to create that for us.

I would give them 5 stars but the only con was the timing in which it was given to us, with that being said…the wait is definitely worth it! We couldn’t be happier with our video.

Cindan

Worth every single penny !

 

Pros: Great friendly service, best value , excellent quality

Cons: None

My husband and I starting planning our Wedding in Playa Paraiso a year in advance. One of our main concerns was finding the right videographer. I researched almost every company in the Cancun area and was easily convinced that Cancun Wedding Videographers was the ONLY way to go. I worked personally with Mike Cantrell ( owner ) and was impressed by his work and professionalism throughout the entire process. We decided to have the team there for just a few hours ( I think 5 ) we figured that would be enough time to film the main highlights of our day. Well, due to unforeseen circumstances ( not relating to CWV ) the team was not going to be able to film the dancing part of our reception due to the time constraint in which we had agreed on.I was devastated. Mike must have seen and felt my desperateness and decided that he was able to stay for the remainder of the evening. Though we had to pay more of course , the end result was worth every penny. For those of you who want to see ALL the unforgettable moments that happened during the best day of your life , I highly suggest you get the best package possible ! Although the video took a few months to come in , it was soooo worth the wait! We absolutely loved every single second. This company is top-notch ! Don’t look no further ! Cancun wedding videographers are the way to go! By the way, don’t hold back on the amazing highlight video they produce …. Unbelievable !!!! I’d be happy to share the link ! Good luck, book fast !!!! Cheers

Creative, talented, professional videographer, Mike Cantarell!!

 

Pros: on time, listens, professional, very talented and creative!!

Cons: Nothing!

My husband and I were hesitant to use vendors we couldn’t meet in person, therefore, we flew in our own photographer and DJ to our destination wedding in Puerto Morelos, Mexico.  After realizing it would be completely out of our budget to fly down a videographer as well, we chose a videography service in the Cancun area through Mike’s website and reviews.  We really like his Cinematography style and I really enjoyed watching weddings he’s done in the past. Communicating with Mike was easy and professional. He put my mind at ease before I even met him.  The day of the wedding I said hello to him and that was pretty much it.  He was quiet and I didn’t even realize he was around, which is exactly what you want from a videographer. I am very picky when it comes to photos and video’s so my standards were pretty high as I was definitely nervous about not having my “dream vide”.  That being said, Mike did an EXCELLENT job and sent me the link to our highlight video in a very timely matter. 10 seconds into it I was a crying mess.  He truly did an amazing job and captured every important moment and truly made my wedding day into a romantic movie.  he even made the torrential downpour look cook and fun and romantic (when I truly wasn’t that happy about it). We are so happy with his work and would recommend him to anyone having a destination wedding in the Cancun/Riviera Maya area.  Spend the $$ because once it’s all said and done, it will be your most favorite thing you spent money on. My advice, whatever you do, do not go with a “hotel suggested vendor”, you will be disappointed!!

Our AMAZING 4 day wedding weekend coverage in JAMAICA!

 

Pros: None

Cons: None

We saw and heard such amazing things about our last two family weddings covered by Mike and his team that we flew them to cover our own wedding in Jamaica,- to do our own wedding video!! We are BEYOND elated with the outcome of our wedding video!! Mike & Eduardo did a phenomenal job putting all the footage together from our FOUR DAY wedding celebration. Our highlight film of 10 minutes had all our friends and family including myself repeatedly crying as the team captured the most important moments of the weekend during the ceremonies. It truly captures the love and happiness that encompassed our wedding weekend. We made the right choice. Now my husband and I have this amazing viewing of some of the best memories of our lives. Mike, & his team were very professional and so much fun to have around during the festivities! What a comfortable addition to the “busy-ness” and excitement of a wedding! -four events at that! -And what a wonderful take away from our wedding!

Blessed doesn’t even begin to explain

 

Pros: Made us relive every moment, smooth transitions, used all of the songs we requested, quality of the video was top-notch, captured every special moment… the list goes on… amazing!!

Cons: NONE NONE NONE!!!

We were worried because it was a month before the wedding and we needed a videographer. I emailed every videographer in Cancun and, out of the videographers available for our date, we narrowed down our decision to the ones that had the best samples (on vimeo and youtube).

Apparently the research worked because we were BLOWN AWAY by how AMAZING our video turned out!!! Our videographer was so personable and the communication was consistent and seamless. We paid the deposit immediately to secure the date, paid the remainder the day of the wedding and we got our video in July 11th and our wedding was May 31st!!

Not only was our videographer quick and efficient, we LOVED him!! He was EVERYWHERE!!! He captured all of the funny, loving and even the not-so-funny moments!!

We had a viewing party at our house the weekend we got the video and for the not-so-funny moments everybody was CRACKING UP!!! The main not-so-funny moment was that My wedding planner, Suha Pressey from Weddings Romantique, forgot our rings during the ceremony!! Our videographer didn’t leave that out and I was so GLAD that he kept everything REAL!!! Looking back at all of the worries I had that day and all of the things that went wrong because of our planner, I felt more at peace seeing how minuscule those issues were in perspective of the big picture.

We may not have hired the right planner but we hit a home run with Miguel Cantarell!!!!!

Lisa & Luis

One of the BEST wedding decisions I made!!!

 

Pros: Punctual, professional, great eye for cinematography, captures all the imporant and little moments

Cons: None

I just received my wedding video in the mail and have spent half of the day just watching it over and over.  Mike, Jerry and his team did an AMAZING job capturing my wedding and all the little moments that I would never have noticed if not for their talented ability to film.  I had my wedding at the Barcelo Maya Palace this year a couple of months ago, and hired Mike and his team for 6 hours to cover my day.  They did such an amazing job – above and beyond.  I had a fantastic photographer (Claudia Rodriguez) and I know most people hesitate to hire a videographer as well, but let me tell you, after viewing the videos, I have NO regrets and am SO GLAD I decided to have them come.  Even though Claudia was amazing at catching those little moments… there’s something video does that can never be quite captured by a photo.  The ambiance, the mood, the little expressions on everyone’s faces as they are preparing for a pose, the conversation, the music… and the PARTY!  These are things I am so glad I got to see in my video.  And the quality of their video and audio was excellent – I received both a DVD and Blu-Ray copy.  I had Mike do the videos in their newer cinematography style, and the way they film is just incredible.  My wedding videos feel like I am watching a movie, not some cheesy home video film, but a stylish, romantic movie version of my day.  And after seeing everything they managed to film – the scenery, the guests, while capturing the main events, I am astounded by how they managed to do this while never feeling like they are in the way.  Most of my guests did not even realize I had a videographer!  Let’s face it, your wedding day is one of those days when you probably will feel the most beautiful you ever have… and Mike and his team are the best people to capture it.  The day goes by so fast and you will be so happy and high on life that you might not remember every moment.  I am so glad I had Mike and the team there to catch everything.  Thank you guys so much for these memories that I will have and want to keep watching over and over for a lifetime.

Simlpy amazing Wedding June 18, 2014

 

Pros: Quality, Friendly, Professional…ALL

Cons: None..

Wedding June 18, 2014- The Grand Mayan- Riviera Maya.

I contacted Mike Cantrell 10 months before the wedding and explained my situation.  A surprise wedding for the bride and guests!.  Mike was so professional and accommodated the needs. I only wanted a photographer but he suggested the video and I am so glad I listened to him. The photographer and videographer came punctual to the room and did some shots at  my kids and I getting ready.  My wife was at the spa getting ready for a “photo session at the beach”.  I was so nervous but the crew was so friendly and professional that felt they were friends doing the job.  Thank you Miguel and Lalo for all the amazing work.

Waiting for the pictures and video is the hardest part,  My wife was so anxious!  However is worth every day the wait.  I was extremely impressed by the quality of their work.  The video was of course HD but also captured every single moment.  The photos was my absolutely FAVORITE part.  I can’t believe the incredible colors and how clear they are.  It really looks better that real life and I really mean that.    Miguel was great as suggesting poses and lighting.  This was my second wedding-same bride twice.  Just that I wanted a wedding in Mexico and wanted my kids to participate.  So capturing this unforgettable moment with my kids was extremely important.

The original video is about 60 minutes.  I made this clip including pictures so I can post it of facebook so my family and closest friends can see it.  So I am posting is here if you want to look at it.  I don’t do reviews often but Cancun Wedding Video by Mike Cantrell deserves a great review. Mike….Muchisimas Gracias.  Que dios los bendiga!

Unbelievable Wedding with the best Vendors

 

Pros: Affordable, Professional, Amazing

Cons: None

We had our most memorable wedding celebration in Riviera Maya, Mexico on July 21st, 2014 at the Iberostar Grand Hotel Paraiso Resort. It was by far the best day of our lives and it couldn’t have been as great without the amazing Videographers we had. Mike Cantarell and his team were extremely professional and helped capture the most amazing moments of our day. We loved that we never felt they were in the way of the ceremony or reception and were still able to get every little detailed moment of the day on film. The team works closely with the photographer we chose (Claudia Rodriguez) and they all did an amazing job making the day extra special. I can’t recall a single issue or complaint and all of our guests raved about how professional the entire team was throughout the process and the actual day. Using Mike and his team as well as outdoor photographer, Claudia Rodriguez is definitely worth the possible vendor fee you may have bringing them onto hotel grounds. They were by far much more capable of putting together an amazing video and taking photos than the photographers we were offered through the hotel. I would pay the vendor fee and day passes over and over again to use a great team like this. Hands down the best decision we made!

UNBELIEVABLE job capturing the day- Jerry and Eduardo were the best!

 

Pros: Video quality and profesionalism

Cons: none, great experience all around

We couldn’t be happier with our short and long videos captured and edited by Jerry and Eduardo! We particularly recommend getting the highlight video, as we’ve watched it over a dozen times in the past 6 months.

Before the big day: They were happy to discuss any questions about the big day via email and responded promptly. When we first arrived in Cancun Jerry and Eduardo took the time to meet with us at our hotel and to discuss the logistics of our wedding day. They were professional, knowledgeable, and open minded and allayed many of our fears and anxiety about the day. As luck would have it, they also have a good relationship with our photographer and coordinated with him (Juan Navarro) throughout the day.

Wedding day: Jerry and Eduardo were punctual, prepared and ready to go on the wedding day. We decided the day before to switch to cinematography type video and they had no problem with it. They went above and beyond and were extremely flexible. They also worked with the venue to make sure everything went smoothly. While filming they were very discrete and inconspicuous.

Video: The video was the best investment of our wedding! Many friends and family members have told us that the highlight video was the best that they have seen. They did an amazing job editing the video and putting it together in a creative but fluid manner. We love watching it and they did a perfect job capturing all of the moments. The long video is broken into chapters so that you can choose to watch certain parts of the wedding/reception. We couldn’t be happier with all of the time and energy they put into making us an amazing video that we will always cherish!!

Jerry and Eduardo were exceptional, and we are so glad we booked Cancun Wedding Video!!! We highly recommend them for your wedding, you won’t be disappointed!

Mike and his team are true professionals

 

Pros: Incredible work, professional, responsive, and on time.

Cons: None.

Mike and his team did an amazing job with our wedding video.  Mike was kind enough to come and meet me in Tulum before the wedding to talk about what we wanted in our video.  He and his team were on time, and totally professional.  They also finished our video when they said they would, and the finished product was incredible.  They were responsive with emails, and for the quality of their work, reasonably priced.  HIGHLY recommended.
