Reviews for Morelli Media
GUEST




I recently used Morelli Media for my wedding. From beginning to end, John was extremely professional and helpful. It was nice to have contact with him leading up to the big day and it reassured me that he was one vendor I would have no issues with.
On the morning of my wedding while at the salon with my bridesmaids I received a phone call from John. He mentioned that he was ready to start a bit early and thought it would be great to meet me at the salon as it would make a great start to my getting ready sequence. I thought it was so nice that he went out of his way to meet us there and boy was he right. The getting ready sequence came out amazing!
We had a big greek wedding and he made sure to capture all of the details we worked so hard on. It was truly a pleasure working with him and his team.
About a week or two after the honeymoon we came back to a video sequence from John for our review. It was so great being able to see a product so soon after the wedding.
I highly recommend this vendor and my family and I look forward to using him at future events!!

If you want to truly capture the amazing moments of you wedding day, Morelli Media is your choice. John Morelli is true a talent, with the skills necessary to keep the focus on the most special memories of your day. With regard to focus, this also applies to the top HD video quality that makes your video so clear, it takes you back to those moments you dreamed of. Everyone always shares stories with future brides and grooms how their wedding day goes so quickly after all your hard work and planning. We felt confident leaving the task of creating our video in the hands of Morelli Media. One of the easiest choices you can make while planning your wedding is using John Morelli. He listens and understands what exactly needs to be done. His work speaks for itself. While researching videographers, something that was important to us was capturing the entire ceremony and having the option to have an overview of the entire day to share with friends and family. His packages include a nice range of special services, length of recording time and the number of videographers. The overview feature, which Morelli Media is known for is called "The Recap." John carefully selects the most moving moments from the day and beautifully edits it to the soundtrack of your choice. It has brought tears, joy and laughter to everyone we have shared it with and will always be grateful for what he did for us. Another must is "The Cast". Both of these services speak for themselves. If you are serious about having a videographer, contact Morelli Media as fast as you can. You don't want to miss out working Morelli Media. As a testament to the skills of Morelli Media, we have already booked him for a special future family celebration.

John is an artist in the true sense of the word – videography is not a job for John, it’s his passion. We give John our highest recommendation. John made excellent and creative use of today’s technologies to capture our wedding event, which included sound dubbing from several sources, giving the video a more realistic sound. John provided excellent service, quality and value. He took his work very seriously and played an active role, but not to a point that it interfered with the day. John’s calm and low key demeanor worked well with all the guests and vendors. He enhanced the capturing of the entire event with his keen artistic style. We recommend that you take the time to meet with John before you make a final selection, as you will be impressed.

John was helpful and willing to answer any questions. Also he responds to requests rather quickly.
GUEST




John Morelli was a pleasure to work with and his work came out beautifully. We received our video promptly. My husband and I were very happy with him. We would definitely use him again.
GUEST




John is a professional and talented artist. He takes the time to learn about you and your personality, and then reflects that in the final product. The technical details - from the audio clips during speeches and ceremony music - are very impressive and polished. John has a lot of experience with weddings, and constantly challenges himself to implement innovative techniques into his work.
My husband and I were very happy with the video - it is definitely a more sophisticated, "in the moment" representation of the big day as compared to other wedding videography I have seen.
GUEST




One of my biggest pet peeves at weddings is when the photographer or videographer get in the way of everyone enjoying the wedding. For our wedding, my husband and I agreed one of the most important qualities we want in our photographer or videographer is his ability to be virtually invisible, and John Morelli did just that. Even as the bride, I hardly saw him, but the video is superb! He captured wonderful moments, and was very open to any suggested or requests I had when he was editing the video.
GUEST




It was truly a delight having John as my videographer for my June wedding.. He was punctual, flexible, extremely professional, and most importantly, never got in the way! You barely knew he was even there!!! And the finished product was amazing! My recap and preparations videos were available within 2 weeks after my wedding, and was extremely concise, well-prepared, and captured the emotion of my special day. I was able to email the link to my family and friends and received nothing short of amazing reviews. The final DVD containing all the footage was spectacular and is something I will be proud to play over & over again for the rest of my life. Thanks John for a job well one!!!
GUEST




John was wonderful. I had used John after hearing the positive reviews from my brother and sister-in-law who had used him a few years earlier. John captured so many of the important moments we asked for and his recap, credits, and "fun" additions to the video make it so enjoyable to watch!
His speediness is also remarkable. John had sent me my first draft so quickly after our wedding! And he was also so patient with me dragging my feet to get him back feedback. But again, his responsiveness was impeccable.
It was also fun and comfortable to work with John! We would highly recommend John to anyone seeking a wonderful wedding videographer!
GUEST




John is so on top of everything. I never had a fear that he wouldn't do a good job. His passion for his job comes through in the quality of work he does. The quality of his videos are far better then your average videographer. I would use him agian and again
GUEST




A friend recommended John for our September 2011 wedding and we couldn't be happier with his services. As everyone knows- the wedding planning process is not an easy or simple one- but John made it so that we had one less thing to worry about. He was always professional, unobtrusive, low maintenance and was able to capture all of the special moments of our big day- even the ones we didn't know happened! The video came back so quickly after our wedding and is packaged beautifully. His creativity and talent don't compare to other wedding videos i have seen. I highly recommend him - he gave us memories to watch for a lifetime!
GUEST




John is wonderful. He is extremely professional, reliable and does unbelievable work! He is fast with getting the video back and extremely accomodating. He is a delight to work with and delivers amazing work. I highly highly recommend him to everyone I know.
We could not be more happy with our wedding video.

John is an incredibly talented, creative and professional videographer who went above and beyond on the day of our wedding and made memories that will last a lifetime. I have recommended him to all of our friends who are getting married and simply cannot say enough about his work. From our wedding mass to the very end of the night, John and his 2nd videographer partner captured every moment of our day with beauty and creativity. We had the edited version of the video in our hands within a month of our wedding. It was so perfect, we only changed one song! When I was first thinking about all the vendors I wanted on my wedding day, I did not want a videographer because of other work I had seen. I came across a wedding recap of John's, fell in love, and booked him that week. I am SO HAPPY I did! He made memories for us that are absolutely unforgettable and I cannot thank him enough!

john worked within my budget and provided me with a video that will cherish my most special day
GUEST




John from Morelli Media did an amazing job on our wedding video!! I have seen other videos he has done and they are all just as good. He really knows how to capture every moment without you even knowing it. He makes you feel very comfortable that you forget a camera is there, that was very important to us.
My husband and I were so pleased with everything, it was worth every penny!!

John did a fabulous job at our wedding. I have never seen a video as special as ours. I would highly recommend him to anyone searching for a great videographer. His talent is outstanding.
GUEST




John was truly amazing to work with! He and his assistant showed up early on our big day and were extremely professional and helpful! We received our draft video within a few weeks after our wedding and he was very flexible about making some changes to the background music (Even got us a song that he didn't have on his song list).
I also love the way he presents his work which really showed his professionalism; (the sample work was packaged neatly in a folder with clear instructions and the final video was stored in a white deluxe CD box)
I would highly recommend Morelli Media to anyone who is searching for a wedding vidographer!
GUEST




John was a pleasure to work with ...we barely realized he was there that day, yet he captured EVERY moment! We were thrilled with how our video came out and are so happy to have had him with us that day.
GUEST




I can highly reccommend John and Morelli Media. We hired him for our wedding in Sept 2010. We absolutely LOVE our video and still watch it all the time. There are so many moments that he caught that we hadn't seen or remembered that day. He really didn't miss a beat and at the same time I never felt like he got in the way. He was very discreet and extremely professional. What makes John really stand apart from the other videographers we met with is that he is by far the most creative. With our photos and video we were definitely looking for something more creative than your standard wedding service. John creates amazing recaps, honeymoon clips, a great clip of the "cast" members (i would highly reccommend this! such a fun clip), credits etc He also allows you to be really be involved in the editing process, choosing the music etc. He obviously spends a lot of time with each wedding. I think the quality of the editing and also the footage in general was top notch. I am so happy we were referred to him, we really couldn't have been happier with our video. We sent links around to some of our friends and family of the cast and recap and everyone was blown away. They had never seen anything like it before. One of my friends decided to hire John for her wedding as well. I would also reccommend paying a little extra for the 2nd camera. It was great to see different angles, for instance walking down the aisle one camera is with the bride but the other was with the groom. Seeing my husband's anticipation waiting for me to come down the aisle is priceless, those are the moments you want to treasure. If you're lucky enough to have come across Morelli Media, hire them!

John was amazing to work with. We met with him almost a year prior to our wedding but did not officially book him until a week before our big day. I must say that it was one of the best decisions that we made and well worth the expense. John was so professional, accommodating, and quick with providing us with the product - the rough draft of edits was to us within a few weeks (less than a month). I would highly recommend Morelli Media to anyone who is looking for a videographer. We have watched our video several times and shown it to friends and families and everyone says how they are chocked how much a video can capture the essence of the wedding and bring you back to that day. I don't think just any videographer can do this, but John and his team did. Again I am truly grateful that we had the opportunity to work with him.
GUEST




John did a fabulous job at our wedding. The video came out better than expected. John and his team are not only professional and great at what they do, they are also fun and very easy to work with. I highly recommend Morelli Media
GUEST




From the moment we first met with John, we were confident that he was a true professional. John made us feel exceptionally special on our wedding day and he perfectly captured our entire day for us. Without hesitation we recommend John and his staff to any couple looking for a courteous, professional, and amazingly talented videographer. We are thrilled with our wedding video - it is truly magnificent. It is certainly something I will treasure forever. We were so happy with John, that both of my brothers are using him for their weddings. Two years after our wedding, we treasure our video more than any picture we have. Having John Morelli as our videographer was literally the best decision we made for our wedding. He is, without a doubt, the best videographer we have seen.
GUEST




John Morelli was absolutely fantastic!!! He was recommended to me by my sister and two other friends who used Morelli Media for their weddings. I was so pleased with ALL of John's work! He is creative and professional! He knows exactly what to do and how to do it right (which makes the bride always feel at ease on her big day)! I recommend Morelli Media to everyone I know who is looking for an awesome videographer!
GUEST




Someone my DH knows used him and we saw their video and it was FANTASTIC! I loved the samples John sent us. We LOVE our video - it is so cool! I HIGHLY recommend John! He is worth the price and we cherish our video.
About Morelli Media
My name is John Morelli, and I have been been a professional videographer since 1984, shooting close to 3,000 weddings. With a background in photography since high school and a degree from New York University film school, I bring a
photographer’s aesthetic to my work. I believe that beautiful lighting and framing are essential to any photograph or film, and my work has earned a reputation for incorporating these elements.
In my 25-plus years as a wedding videographer, I have developed a unique personal style and a strong sense of what clients want. I consider it a privilege to be part of a milestone in a couple’s life and a great honor when I’m chosen
to capture such an important day. Please read on to learn more about me and my work.
Professional cinematographers have always been a major inspiration for me, and I almost always shoot on a tripod. This adds an unparalleled professionalism, producing rock-steady images compared to hand-held shooting. When a tripod
isn't practical, I useother camera-stabilizing tricks and techniques. Using these stabilization techniques, along with capturing audio with multiple microphones and separate digital audio recorders, to using soft, diffused lighting, to shooting lots
of telephoto footage, I am able to create a cinematic look to my work.
In addition to using state-of-the-art equipment and hardware, I bring to each project a heightened sensibility for finding the emotion in a situation. I use tasteful close-ups, sweeping camera moves, the right lighting, and a sense of when to give
someone their space to capture the perfect fleeting moment, whether it's a groom dipping his bride or a tear falling down a father's face.
One of my goals when shooting a wedding is to show every guest, which can be a challenge. To make certain we capture each guest on film, along with all the action, we use two cameras simultaneously for the Ceremony, First Dance and Toast. That
second camera serves as a “second unit,’’ filling in the areas where I am not and ensuring full coverage of the dancing and all the guests.
My two signature pieces are the "Getting Ready" sequence and the "Recap." The Getting Ready sequence is shot in a different style from the rest of the wedding. It is slightly more from-the-hip, not as structured, definitely no
tripod and often a little tongue-in-cheek. I capture the excitement and the humor surrounding the chaos of that process.
My Recap includes the best shots from the wedding, incorporating techniques like slow motion and different tints, including black and white or sepia, all put to your choice of music. I look for moments that show the best emotion and expressions of
the bride and groom.
Your finished video is a sophisticated, professionally edited version of everything that happened at your wedding, lasting about 90 minutes to two hours.
I often hear a bride say that "it was all a blur" or "it went by so fast," and how grateful she is to have this keepsake that allows her to view all the wonderful moments she missed and relive the others. Consider your wedding
video a "family record" to share with relatives and friends down the line. Years from now, you and your children will be thrilled to be able to sit down and watch your wedding -- scene by scene -- all over again.
