HIRING JOYFUL VIDEO WAS THE BEST DECISION I MADE THE ENTIRE WEDDING. I was unsure of hiring a videographer and with the cost of weddings it was quickly cut from the budget. Less than one week before the wedding my Mom and I decided to at least look into hiring a videographer. We were sure no one would be available and it would be too expensive. We looked into, contacted, and received responses from 6 videographers. After looking at the work on their websites Joyful Video was my favorite. They were my favorite because the videos showed personalities, special moments, talking, speeches, voices, and went beyond the still photographer. Just take a moment to watch videos Michael and Joyful Video have posted on their websites. After watch a few I was sold on Joyful Video. I honestly cannot say how thankful I am that Michael and Joyful Video were available. We fall more and more in love with our highlight video and full length video each time we watch it. I have watched the highlight ... Read morevideo over 20 times and I laugh and cry each and every time. I cant get enough. He captured so much more than our photographer. It scares me to think of my wedding without Michael there. Michael and Joyful Video go above and beyond their work (although their work is beautiful). Michael was right. I didn't even notice he was there. He caught moments I missed and moments I wanted to remember. He responded right away to all emails. He got us our highlight video and full length video before the photographer got us anything. Even if you aren't thinking of a videographer hire Michael and Joyful Video. I cant stress this enough. You wont regret it and if anything it will be the best decision you make the whole weekend.

I contacted Michael at Joyful Video exactly one week before my daughter's March 21 2015 wedding when I figured out that she really did have her heart set on a video of her wedding but was afraid that we were already spending a lot of money on the event. Best decision I made! Michael emailed me back immediately and followed up with a phone call. I narrowed down the videographers that replied to my request and sent them on to my daughter. Michael was her standout favorite based solely on the highlight videos he has posted on Wedding Wire. His work just stood out. Our daughter interviewed him on the phone and hired him on the spot. Best decision of the wedding. The highlight video he made is fantastic and captures every major moment and the tone of the celebration. The full length video is also fantastic. Michael says you won't even notice him during the event and he is correct. He captures everything without being in your face. As the Mother Of The Bride, I was trying to talk to everyon... Read moree, until Michael came over to me and told me that if I didn't stop trying to please everyone and get on the dance floor and enjoy my daughter's wedding, I wasn't going to be in any of the reception video and would hate the end result. Best advice anyone gave me! Love the video and if I'm having a bad day, I take a minute to watch the highlight video and laugh and relive an awesome day. If you are lucky enough to get Joyful Video, hire them on the spot!!

I would highly recommend Joyful Video. Michael and Jesse are amazing to work with! After watching their sample videos I immediately fell in love with their style. I contacted them right away and Michael was a pleasure to talk to. He was able to send me a sample DVD of a wedding so I could get the real feel of how everything would come out. The next day I booked them. Throughout the time leading up to my wedding Michael touched base with me often. Which I really appreciated. I often felt some vendors forgot about us...this was not that case with Michael. The day of the wedding they showed up right on time and started shooting right away. They blended in with everyone perfectly. Never once did they get in the way or did I feel awkward being recorded. What I love the most was how quick they got our video to us! I have many friends who waited months upon months for their video to be ready. This was not the case with ours! Reach out/ book Michael and Jesse... you won't be disappointed... Read more!

By far the BEsT video ever!!! It's like a real movie with credits and all!!! SO worth the money!!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Joyful Video. Not only is the quality of their work phenomenal, but their patience level is unmatchable— I got married in 2015... and I’m literally the worst procrastinator with anything they’ve asked of me.. fast forward 5 years now, and I’ve finally done my homework for them, and will have my beautiful video in hand soon! (And they were still so incredibly kind to me, even though I must have been the biggest pain)! I can tell you this- you may go back and forth on whether or not you want to invest in a videographer- don’t hesitate, and don’t second guess these guys! As someone who has lost people who are in my wedding video, I’m so thankful that I have a visual remembrance of such a wonderful, beautiful day, and am able to see their faces again. Joyful Video are sweethearts, professional, and seamlessly fade into the background of your magical night. They’re there when you want them and need them to be, and are able to... Read more be a fly on the wall too, so you can enjoy those precious special moments. The video and highlights I’ve seen so far have made me smile, laugh, and cry. It’s everything you could hope for in a video that captures such a special time in your life. I hope they’re around when I renew my vows one day, they’re simply wonderful.

AMAZING!!!! From the cost, friendly and consistent communication to make sure everything was what I expected and/or asked for...to making sure every moment was captured, yet making themselves unnoticable while recording/videoing and creating a movie (WITH CREDITS) that has become our Academy Award winnning debut! Not only would I recommend JOYFUL VIDEO to anyone who asks (or doesn't hehe) But my sister used them for her wedding years ago and they have only make their videos BETTER!!!! BY FAR, the BEST production company ANY BRIDE SHOULD want to capture their day AND always have to watch!!!!

Michael and Jesse at Joyful video helped to make our wedding day unforgettable with the most amazing video imaginable. The video was a gift to us from my wife's bridal party and siblings so it was a unique set up and Michael and Jesse did such a great job, so nice , so professional. I would recommend them and their videos to anybody 1000 times!!

Joyful Video was perfect! They captured all the most important moments and entire feeling of the day. The video quality was great and they even provided a full video of the entire ceremony. They were priced much better than the competition too! I would highly recommend them to everyone :)

My wife and I can give our highest recommendation to Joyful Video for wedding videography services. They are highly professional and the finished product they provided is truly impressive. At first, we did not intend to record our wedding on video. However, many of our friends and family members told us that they regretted not recording their own weddings. We initially decided to work with Joyful Video because their price seemed much more reasonable than other vendors in the area and because many of the reviews said that they were unobtrusive and out of the way. This definitely turned out to be true: my wife and I hardly noticed their presence at all at the wedding and ceremony, and I believe that many of our guests probably didn't even realize the wedding was video recorded. When we watched the finished video, it was amazing to see the kind of footage they got, especially since we hardly noticed them during the event. We have had a chance to watch the video several times with my famil... Read morey and my in-laws, and everyone has been truly impressed with the quality of the video and the editing. It has allowed us to re-experience the day, and I know it is something we will revisit many times in the years to come. The one-hour video contains a good portion of the wedding ceremony, and then tons of footage from the reception. It includes all of the speeches and footage of the special dances (father-daugher and mother-son). There is also lots of footage of the venue and we were able to see details that we missed during the event itself. We live in Baltimore, so we had to coordinate with Michael from a distance, but he was nothing but helpful and professional over the phone and through email. We would absolutely recommend Joyful Video to our family and friends.

Terrific job videotaping our daughters wedding. It was well worth having a second cameraman. We love the finished product. Joyful Video did a great job capturing and editing all the essential moments of the day. They made a short and long video that makes the wedding seem like it was the event of the century, certainly to our family. Thanks so much Michael.

Joyful Video did a wonderful job being the videographers for our daughter's wedding. They were very professional and unobtrusive. The videos are well put together and give a wonderful synopsis of an amazing day. We couldn't be more pleased.

I am so happy that I choose Joyful Video for my wedding video! I would give them more than 5 stars, but the computer won’t let me… My photographer recommended Michael and I couldn’t be happier that I made the decision to book them. From our first meeting, Michael was very professional, easy to communicate with, and was quick to respond to our questions. Every request we had, he did not hesitate to fulfill. Michael and Jesse were very much in the background the entire day, but somehow managed to capture every moment. I even had guests comment on how unobtrusive they were and how nice it was to not have a camera in your face. After the wedding, Michael was wonderful in keeping me up to date on the status of the video and being available for any questions we had. As to the video, we just watched our highlights video and I am completely in love with it! They did such a wonderful job of capturing the emotion of the day, from the background music to the conversations they included. The... Read morere were so many moments that I couldn’t have been a part of on the wedding day that I now have captured forever! I feel like Michael really understood who we are and what we were looking for because it is perfect! And we haven’t even watched the full video yet…. To anyone thinking about booking a wedding videographer, I say book Joyful Video. They are wonderful!

We are so happy with the video from our daughter and son-in-law's wedding filmed on April 13th, 2014 at the Tappan Hill Mansion. You both, as a team, captured the essence and spirit of the day and then managed to produce it in a flawless production. Throughout the wedding day we never noticed the lights or cameras. We even wondered at times if you were there, but of course you were, and you left us with a precious gift to watch and relive an unforgettable day in our lives. Thank you for your high quality professionalism! Sincerely, Debra and Steven Keshner

We had our wedding at the Cadet Chapel at West Point. Although the chapel lighting was dark, the video was extraordinary. There were two cameras but I never noticed either. I chose Joyful because he was very professional from the first phone call. They arrived an hour before the event and were completely ready to start well before the time we arrived. The delivered 5 videos were perfectly packaged in our wedding theme and colors. We are blissfully happy with Joyful Video.
