How it Works
INITIAL CONSULTATION:
Schedule a free discovery call so that I can learn more about your love story, vision and plans for your event. (Or, I can also work directly with your wedding planner!)
WEDDING DAY:
You have the day of your life. I collect all of the footage - using cameras, drones, and audio recordings. I will back all of the content up immediately for safe keeping.
POST PRODUCTION:
I build documentary edits of your ceremony and speeches, choose the music to complement the best shots, edit together your final feature and highlight reel or trailer, and compile all of the comments from your guests.
FINAL DELIVERY:
Everything is hosted for you in 4k on a beautiful web portal, capable of being shared with anyone you choose. I can also produce custom DVD or Blu-ray Discs.
People Will Talk
HERE’S WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT MICHAEL SCOT FILMS
“Mike was awesome from beginning to end...The day of the wedding, Mike was professional, patient, and hardworking. He and his assistant went above and beyond for us and even stayed for an additional 15 minutes outside of our contract time. When we received the film, we were elated. It captured mine and my husband's love and the film had GREAT music that Mike allowed us to pick out.”

Hi there. I’m Michael.
Weddings are more than just celebrations—they mark the start of a family’s legacy. Every laugh, tear, and heartfelt toast holds meaning, and capturing those moments is a privilege I take seriously.
I’ll always remember a bride who thanked me years after her wedding for filming her dad’s toast. He had passed unexpectedly, and hearing his voice again became a priceless treasure for her.
This is why I do what I do.
Your wedding day is the beginning of your story together. With over 25 years of experience and 900+ weddings filmed, I focus on capturing the day authentically, so you can relive it for generations, and remember everything.
