MediaInnovations - Testimonials

We let our reputation speak for itself. We would be happy to supply you with a list of references if needed and hope to see you on this list below soon!

MediaInnovations was, without a doubt, the wisest vendor choice of my entire wedding.  My husband and I had decided not to have a videographer, but as the day grew closer we reconsidered and it is a choice I will always be glad we made.  We had our video 2 weeks after the wedding and watched it at least 15 times in the first week.  It never gets old and everytime we watch it we notice something different!  The entire thing flows so well and is eloquently pieced together.  They managed to capture so many wonderful moments that would not have been the same with just pictures.  Our 2 year old son was willing to walk down the aisle as the ring-bearer (something he'd refused to do prior to the exact moment in the ceremony).  Thanks to Matt and Melanie we have that captured on film and every moment of the day before and after.  I promise if you hire them you will never regret it!  They are truly a joy to work with and the work is unparalleled!

We cannot even begin to express how amazing our wedding video is, and how awesome Matt and Melanie are! Our video far exceeded our expectations! The time and effort put into the video just proves beyond a doubt that they are top-tier and deserve all the awards given to them. There really is no comparing MediaInnovations with ANY other videographers! It's a true work of art! Thank you for making our special day even more memorable! We highly recommend MediaInnovations to anyone!

We used MediaInnovations for our November 10th wedding and we fell in love with their work. I could watch the video every single day and love it more than the day before. They caught every single moment. Matt and Melanie are so easy to get along with. We hate to see our business end with them because we feel like they became good friends. We recommend them to everyone we know. We sing their praises every single time we watch the video. We even did the slideshow ourselves and they made it a point to put it on the video. We only told them what songs we did not want on the video. Every single song was one of our favorites and, now every time I hear a song from our video, I think about our special day and smile. Not many vendors would go to the extra length that they have. They are truly spectacular. My husband and I could not see our wedding day without MediaInnovations. We will be able to re-live our wedding day for the rest of our lives thanks to them.

Words cannot express how happy we are with our wedding DVD. From the initial meeting to getting us our final copy, Matt and Melanie did an outstanding job. The details and moments they captured truly make them extraordinary and their experience, quality and attention to detail are definitely evident and portrayed in our DVD. We were blown away by what we now have as a wonderful keepsake. Their work is incredible and far above any other videographer we have seen. They went above and beyond to capture the little moments that made the day so special without us even realizing they were there. The best decision we made for our wedding was to hire MediaInnovations.

We used MediaInnovations for our August 18, 07 wedding and they were amazing!!!!  They put together a highlights video for us online of our special day and I was obsessed with watching it over and over again and everyone of our friends who watched it said they loved it, cried, wanted them for their own wedding, etc.  There were so many great moments I was able to see of my husband and so many details I had forgotten that were caught on video.  I couldnt have been happier with Melanie and Matt as they were so friendly and wonderful to work with.  If I had to plan the wedding all over again, I would make sure to book them immediately and if they were booked I would change my date just to have them there.  For anyone who is looking for a videographer, their work speaks for itself, look at their demos online and you will be sold, you will have to watch them all!

We had a wonderful and fun wedding, and I'm so happy we had MediaInnovations to capture everything on our wedding day. They were great to work with and their videos are awesome.

What can I say....Matt and Melanie are the best!  We just got our video and it is outstanding!  They work with you one on one to see what you like.  They come early and video tape the church and it was beautiful!  I got chills watching it and I just wanted to relive the day all over again.  Now I can when I watch it.  They caught so many highlights that I missed from being in the moment.  No doubt about it...you need them to do your wedding, you won't regret it!

I was so impressed when I saw all of the video clips on the website and at my initial meeting with Matt, and now that the day is over and I have my own video I can say I was still knocked off of my feet by how awesome our video is. All of the moments that were caputred were so important, and it's funny to me because I don't even remember seeing the cameras at all. There were many shots of me just giving my husband a look (or vice versa) or a smile, and if those moments hadn't been captured, we might never have remembered them. Everything looks so professional on camera - it really looks like a movie! and all of the music that Matt chose for the video was absolutely perfect! - I couldn't have picked it better myself. I am a very musically inclined person and feel like a song can make or break a moment, an emotion, or a feeling. Every song in the video gave me the emotion. I almost didn't hire a videographer, but words can't describe how happy I am that we did, and I'm so glad that we picked MediaInnovations. I don't think anyone else could have done a better job. I watch my video at least 3 times a week and will treasure it forever. I truly think Matt and Melanie have a gift at what they do. Thank you so much for capturing the greatest moments of the greatest day of my life.

There is no comparison between MediaInnovations and any other videographer! Matt and Melanie were so helpful before the wedding and so professional while working with them the day of our wedding. I begged my fiance (at the time) to do The Story of Us.  He was very grumpy about the whole deal but agreed to do it but not play it at the reception unless he liked it.  The day we got it back we sat and watched it together. He was crying while watching it,and yes he agreed to play it at the reception (instead of showing the slideshow)! We had over 400 people at our reception and not one of them had a dry eye; so many people came up to us telling us how amazing it was to see our story and see it put together so well. Since everyone enjoyed the Story of Us so well we thought they'd enjoy watching our wedding video too. We invited both of our families and friends over to watch it and we had the same response; they all loved it! Many people wanted to get thier wedding video re-done by them and thought it was the best wedding video they'd ever seen! Many people go all out on photographers because they think it's worth the money to capture the memories of such an important day. Well I did the opposite. I spent the most on our video instead and dont regret that for a moment! We had a good photographer and also had a lot of picture taken from family members and friends so we have tons of great pictures. However, having the video is even more worth is because we will be able to show people who were not there and even our children someday how our wedding day went! I can not even tell you how many times I have watched it since having it. Since the beginning of May when we got it back, I've seen it at least 12 times! I love watching it and it makes me laugh and cry everytime. There is so much going on in the video that I notice something different everytime!  The money you will spend using MediaInnovations is so worth the laughter, tears and lasting memories you can re-play a million or more times throughout you and your children's lives!

We just received our Dvd back from MediaInnovations and it's wonderful.  Completely exceeded my expectations in every way.  He captured every detail of our big day.  Even our Dvd case had photos from our wedding on the cover and the dvd itself.  Our DVD has a menu that includes: prewedding, ceremony, reception, dance and our photo montage that we had done.  They did such a great job in capturing our day - I am so glad we picked Matt and Melanie Bishop.  They were very professional and helpful throughout the entire process and we barely noticed they were there on our wedding day.

If you are undecided or don't have a videographer -- MediaInnovations is the best!  You can check out their demos on their website for an idea of what they are capable of, but our final product was unbelievable!!

Thank you so much!

"If I had to sum up my opinion of our wedding video in 1 word: FABULOUS!

We just received our video last night, and I've already watched it THREE TIMES!  Matt and Melanie at MediaInnovations did a fantastic job of incorporating many very cool special effects with outstanding editing!  They were somehow able to use a song that had a climactic point- like "HEY!" (in What I like About You) and match up people's actions with this!  My nephew was dancing and gave the camera the "hand" in synchronization to "HEY!"  SO COOL!  We laughed so hard at this!  There were many instances like this throughout the video.

They also set it up to look like a movie production.  Incredible!  We loved the intro and the credits at the end.  While they rolled the credits they had a "bloopers" running as well.  Once again we loved it!

The other thing that we purchased with our package was a Photo Montage.  I provided all of the digital files, and music selections, and Matt put them together to present at our reception.  Once again, we loved it!  I was undecided on the last song and gave them a couple of my favorites, and they actually chose the one that I really feels personifies my relationship with John.  I was so touched by the montage, and the guests really enjoyed it too.  Another aspect that they included on the video was a picture in picture of us at the reception as we watched the montage.  They had this in the lower left corner of the screen as the montage ran.  Very unique!  I've never seen anything like it.

About a month before our wedding, I noticed that they had added a new option to their services: The Wedding Story.  I was a little worried about convincing my fiance that we should do it, but I also really wanted to have something like that to reflect back on many years down the road.  Long story short, we shot this about 2 weeks before our wedding outside at the park in the Village of East DPort.  It turned out great!  It was so wonderful to see and hear things that John had to say about me and vice versa.  We are both very pleased with the way it turned out and so glad we included it.  I think that it will be a nice relection point for us in several years... something to ground us and remind us of why we fell in love and got married.

I highly recommend MediaInnovations if you are looking for a videographer for your wedding or for anything else for that matter.  They are very professional, unobtrusive (half the time we REALLY didn't even know they were there), and extremely talented with an artistic flair that I was going for.  They incorporated so many cool techniques in our video which illustrate their highly technical nature.  Our video truly is a work of art.   Thank you, Matt and Melanie!  You guys ROCK!"

"Matt is very talented, he puts a lot of time into making your videos amazing. I watched a few video's of weddings he's done and just the menus of the video is breath taking. I couldn't have asked for anything better to capture all the little memories of that one special day. Thanks Matt for all your hard work and dedication."

"Words cannot express how happy we are with our wedding video! It's only been a little over a month since our big day and we've already gotten our video back! It was wonderful seeing all the little things that we missed that day. Matt & Melanie did a wonderful job!! We highly recommend them to anyone who wants to see every part of their special occasion!!"

-Angela & Ryan

"Matt and Melanie were wonderful to work with. We just got our video and were highly impressed with the production and their ability to capture the important elements of our day without being in the way - especially the first time we saw each other that morning--Matt caught that moment beautifully.

We also gave them a few songs to include in the video, and were very pleased with the result. It helped that we met over lunch a few days before hand to review the wedding day schedule. They had 2 cameras in operation as well, and were very reasonable in price. We highly recommend!!"

Matt did an incredible job. He comes the night of the rehersal to get a feel for the setup so everything is just right the day of the wedding. I cannot express enough how pleased I am with the excellent quality and the perfect moments that were captured on video.

- Amy and Ryan

"Matt did a wonderful job as our videographer. He did a great job of making sure he knew what portions of the day we wanted recorded and what parts we wanted to remain off camera. He worked well with our photographer also! The price was extremely affordable and the professionalism was amazing. I would highly recommend having Matt Bishop record your wedding day to preserve the memories forever!"

"The DVD quality was great! I particularly liked all of the video clips pulled together and set to music. Using the video clips was a great idea because it captured all the events of the day, but in a short fashion so it didn't drag on too long."

"Looking back, having Matt record our wedding was one of the most important decisions in the wedding planning process. As a bride, there are so many parts of the ceremony that you don't even see before you go down the aisle. As well as many things you simply don't rememeber due to the excitement of the day. To have the whole event recorded is a wonderful way to experience the day all over again. In addition to my husband and I reminiscing. I'm sure it will be something we'll keep forever so that even our children can watch it years down the road."

"Matt is awesome! He makes sure he knows exactly what you want filmed and is right there to get it. He's incredibly easy to work with and very affordable. He even met with the pastor to make sure he wouldn't be in the way at the ceremony.

I have heard nothing but great things from everyone who has seen our video. The quality is incredible and I love the video montages. I'm so glad I decided to have a videographer. It is wonderful to be able to put in the DVD and relive the wedding day over and over again. You get to see a lot on the video that you weren't able to see that day since you get pulled in so many different directions!

I would definitely recommend MediaInnovations to anyone looking to hire a videographer. Matt makes it well worth your money and it is something you will treasure for the rest of your life!"
