25 YEARS, 15 CAMERAS, AND HUNDREDS OF VIDEOS LATER...

Meet Mike McCaleb,
Owner of Michael Scot Films

Weddings are more than just beautiful events—they’re the beginning of a family’s legacy. Every laugh, every tear, every quiet glance carries weight, and I’ve learned that the moments I capture can become treasures beyond what anyone could imagine on the day itself.

I’ll never forget a bride who reached out to me a few years after her wedding. She wanted to thank me for capturing her dad’s toast. He had unexpectedly passed away not long after her big day, and that footage became one of her most cherished possessions. Hearing his voice again, seeing him beam with pride—it was a gift she never anticipated needing, but one she was so grateful to have.

This is why I do what I do.

Being a wedding videographer isn’t just about creating a film; it’s about preserving the first day of a new family’s story. It’s about capturing the love, the joy, and even the bittersweet moments, so they can be remembered and relived for generations.

I consider it an incredible privilege to be trusted with this responsibility. With over 25 years of experience and more than 900 weddings filmed, I’ve come to understand how fleeting these moments are. My approach is rooted in authenticity—I’m there to document the day as it unfolds, without turning it into a production.

Your wedding day is uniquely yours, and I want to help you remember everything.
