TIMELESS WEDDING FILMS HAND-CRAFTED TO BECOME AN HEIRLOOM FOR YOUR MARRIAGE LEGACY.
the michael lemley films specialty:
Because I believe your story is worth telling in a way that celebrates the forever kind of love. There’s so much more that goes into a wedding day than just the film. I LOVE being able to make the experience the best for all of my couples. This is your wedding day. To me, every one of my couples is like family, which is why I strive to know each of my couples on a personal level. Not only should your wedding film allow you to relive your day, but it should be a true reflection of your unique love story.
