Testimonials:

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.

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.

Secrets Maroma Wedding Videography

 

Pros: Great work

Cons: None

We hired Mike Cantarell for our July wedding at Secrets Maroma in Riviera Maya. They did an amazing job! His staff helped us when we were feeling more than overwhelmed, they were punctual, professional, and courteous throughout the whole process. Their work was outstanding- I watch my highlight wedding video often!!

Wedding video was just like a beautiful movie…amazing job!!!

 

Pros: Professional staff, well done editing, video just like a movie

Cons: None

Mike Cantarell and Eduardo Cedillo from Mike Cantarell films did an amazing job!!  They are very talented in what theydo.The day of the wedding they caught every moment with their continuous filming from getting ready to first look pictures, the ceremony, cocktail reception, family pictures and then the reception. We used them for 5 hours and I wish I would have used them for 8 hours since they filmed EVERYTHING and did such a beautiful job!!! The highlight video was done perfectly. It captured all of our precious moments in 6 minutes. The music and editing was just like a movie. I highly recommend doing a cinematic film video. It is well worth it.  I watch it over and over again and it bring tears to my eyes. Everyone who has watched it tells me how beautiful it is and how it makes them re-live the moment. It also brings tears of happiness to their eyes. Thank you so much Mike and Eduardo for making my wedding video so special and beautiful

Best Videographer in Mexico!!!

 

Pros: Fast response, creative footage, natural shots

Cons: None

We hired Mike and his team for our wedding at Barcelo Palace in April 2015. Right away, I was thoroughly impressed with Mike’s fast response to my questions and his willingness to accommodate. He even gave me a call a month prior to our big day to go through what scenes are important to me and what our day will look like. When him and his team arrived while the girls and I were getting ready, he was very professional and nice. He really just blended in and took a lot of nature footage which I appreciated and very much liked! We recently received our summary video and I was in tears the whole time! He was able to capture all the important scenes we spoke about and actually went above what I expected. If you’re getting married in Mexico and you’re looking for a videographer, you will be very happy by choosing Mike!

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!!

 

Pros: Creative, professional, prompt, responsive!!!!

Cons: NONE!

Mike and his team were absolutely perfect. Mike was easy to work with (from New York) to select the best package for my wedding at Nizuc with 180 guests. He was flexible and gave great advice about timing. His team was professional, prompt, and also worked seamlessly with my photographer. My guests never knew there was a videographer present (neither did I – even during getting ready!) and so the shots are all incredibly natural. His team captured the right people, places and moments and created the most beautiful footage of our wedding. Mike was responsive and EXTREMELY HELPFUL and willing to work with me choosing the right music and edits during the editing process to make sure I received exactly what I wanted (which I did). I would HIGHLY recommend working with Mike and his team!
