"We would like to thank you again. I showed this to friends at work yesterday and everyone was blown away by the artistry and quality. We’ll treasure it forever and I’m SO GLAD we found you!"
Ronnie & Trevor Hatley Castle,Victoria BC May 23rd, 2009
"We were blown away with our wedding video. It captivates our emotions perfectly. This is a priceless masterpiece. Thank you so much for your professionalism, it was so great to have to deal with people such as yourself. You made a wedding day a beautiful memory
"We were so pleased with MBS Video Productions work. We hardly noticed they were there thoughout the whole day - which is how I think it should be 'non-instrusive'. My husband didn't even want a video, until he saw the quality of Michael's work & changed his mind. After we saw our wedding for the first time, we were so thankful we had it done. We think it was money well spent and will definitely recommend them to friends!"
Marg & Tim Saturna Island, British Colmbia August 1st, 2009
"- you guys did a great job! Really glad we decided to get the video done, as it was fun reliving the day."
"We are thrilled to recommend Michael Barton's MBS Video Productions based on our exceptional wedding video and our experience with Michael.
Right from our first meeting with Michael to discuss videography for our wedding we were impressed with his pleasant and respectful manner, his professionalism and his thoroughness. Michael's clear and comfortable manner and his extensive experience helped us choose the package that most suited out needs and helped guide us in discovering the type of wedding video we wanted, the moments we felt we most important to capture and the music we wanted on the video.
In the months leading up to the event Michael stayed in touch, requesting vendor information and song choices, which made me feel secure in knowing he was prepared.
On the day of our wedding Michael and his co-videographer arrived on time and prepared. They arrived with state of the art equipment and did not experience any equipment delays or technical difficulties during the entire day. They were calm and professional, easy going and positive and were both a joy to have on our team during our special day. Both videographers seemed to to be everywhere, moving into the right place at the right time, and yet they were unobtrusive, never in the way and barely noticeable. It is evident in the final product that they worked very hard to capture every intimate, every important and every fun moment for the video.
Our wedding video is, by far, our most treasured keepsake from the wedding. From the professional DVD packaging, to the spectacular main movie, to the DVD scene selection and special features (full unedited ceremony, speeches, etc.) the final product exceeded our expectations. The cinematic style of the main movie is truly spectacular and goes above and beyond a regular video-taped documentary of the event. The flow of the movie, the scenes he chose to include, the smooth transitions, the clarity of picture and sound and the soundtrack all contribute to the superb quality of this priceless video.
We are thrilled with our wedding video and cannot thank MBS Video Productions enough for their talent, dedication and hard work to produce such a great product."
"MBS Video Production did a very competent job of videoing our wedding which took place on an acreage on Vancouver Island but was planned from afar by internet. The finished product is a delight to watch - excellent quality + selection of footage - good sound and lighting. The icing on the cake was that they are such delightful people to deal with - interested, enthusiastic and discreet."
Alexandra & Kristell Personal Residence, Nanaimo BC July 5th, 2008
"Thank You so much for such a lovely keepsake of our special day. Your professionalism and discretion was much appreciated. It was like you weren't even there!! Our video is great and brought a tear to our eyes! We love it!"
"We were very pleased with the excellent DVD that MBS produced with such professionalism and creativity for the 20th anniversary celebration conference of our global organization. MBS captured a wide variety of topics, presenters, and the very spirit of the conference itself."
Linda Kavelin Popov, CEO (Virtues Project International)
"... what can we say? It was just so awesome. So amazing to be able to relive the moments that went by so quickly. Thank so much for everything!"
Carmel & Dave Hatley Castle, Victoria July 7th, 2007
"We were very happy with MBS Video Productions, without them our wedding would not have been so smooth! They worked well with our guests and other vendors; they were very professional, helpful and kept everyone happy and calm. The finished product was spectacular! We would definitely recommend MBS Video Productions to anyone getting married! Thank you so much Michael!"
Melissa & D'Arcy Family Church / Hotel Grand Pacific, Victoria August 4th, 2007
"We loved our wedding DVD & it was a pleasure working with MBS Video Productions. The only regret I have is that I didn't choose a larger package from MBS!"
"Thank you so much! We got the video and we LOVE it. We're very excited to show it to our family."
Danielle & Greg Hatley Castle, Victoria March 28th, 2007
"MBS Video Productions taped our wedding on July 2nd, 2006... and exceeded our expectations in every way. Mike displayed efficiency and professionalism at all times and we really appreciated his creativity, patience, and passion for the work. Our wedding video is a work of art and has captured every important moment of our special day. We are so lucky to have all of these incredible moments captured so beautifully on film."
"Michael's sense of humour, warmth and expertise put the participants at ease and helped to contribute to the success of the event. The keepsake videos he produced for our participants are unique and everyone is very appreciative of the effort he made to capture their experience. Michael was able to capture the event for our participants in a way that was unobtrusive, creative and fun. Working with Michael has been extremely positive, and I would recommend him without reservation."

"Jason and I wanted to take this time to personally thank you for your services at our wedding in February. So much time goes into the planning and preparation for one's wedding that when the day finally arrives, it goes by in the blink of an eye. You captured not only the things we saw and experienced, but also the many, many other elements of our wonderful day that we did not get to see, We have shown our video to at least two dozen people. Since we've started showing the video, we've also been getting calls and e-mail asking for your contact information for engaged couples. We've also had many comments that this was the best (most unique)wedding video our family and friends have ever seen. You are a fine artist who created a phenomenal video album for us with beautiful photography and professional editing with fit perfectly with our music selections. What was even better was the story that you put together for us, our friends and families. I cannot tell you how much we enjoyed watching the DVD. And how much pleasure we will have watching it through the years. We are truly overwhelmed and can't thank you enough for capturing memories for us that will last a lifetime. We are also looking really forward to the "Baby Story" you will be filming for us next year. I have complete confidence you will capture those precious moments with equal style, originality and professionalism. Please do not hesitate in using us as a reference for your future clients. We would be overjoyed to share our wonderful experience with them."

"We were originally one of those couples who thought a wedding video was an extra that we would only pursue if the budget allowed. Looking back, I can't believe we didn't make it a priority from the start. Michael did such an amazing job at capturing every moment of our special day and edited it all in such an artistic and memorable manner. He demonstrated such professionalism, passion and commitment to his job which was evident to even our guests as many of them commented on how wonderful he was. The time he put into our video not only on the day of the wedding, but also the countless hours during the editing process are so much appreciated. The video far surpassed any of our expectations and allowed us to see many of our favorite memories as well as some of the details we did not have a chance to see at the time. It is truly a work of art that we will enjoy watching for years to come. We will not hesitate to recommend Michael to our friends for the many weddings that are sure to come in the near future, and look forward to working with him again ourselves with other projects. We cannot thank you enough Michael...you are phenomenal at what you do"
"You are an extremely talented person! I would recommend you to anybody, especially to family & friends! You have been such a pleasure & joy to deal with. Not only have you been extremely accommodating but the most important quality that we loved about you was how you listened to our wants & simply delivered! Peter & I feel so lucky and fortunate to have been blessed with such an important memory filled video that we will forever cherish. This experience will be shared - guaranteed!"

"I just wanted to say how much I appreciated your willingness to assist me in creating a fabulous intro piece for my lectures and seminars. You listened to what I wanted and your collaborative approach helped bring my vision to life and what a wonderful, polished piece it turned out to be judging from the positive feedback I've received. Thank you for being available on short notice and following things thru to the end like a true pro. I'm happy to recommend you and know with your dedication to excellence that you will continue to delight other clients."

"An excellent video of my mother's life so far. Michael captures the essence of the subject and is quick to realise the most important aspects of the story in the creation of the video. Thank you Michael for all your hardwork."
Paul Barton
"When brides-to-be ask me what is my favourite part of my wedding, I tell them my wedding video. It's my permanent memory of the entire day and I can watch it over and over again."
"Just wanted to Thank You for being such a pleasure to work with. Frank & I were so comfortable with you. Frank especially enjoyed goofing off with you:) We will highly recommend you to any/all of our friends."
"MBS Video Productions created a superb memorial photo-sideshow of my mother who recently passed away. Michael was amazing while he viewed many volumes of photos of my Mom; his patience, opinion and sense of what images would work best is paramount. Our family truly love the slide show; the technique was developed in a way that lent one to feel as though it was a video. His style of portraying the images is first-rate, along with his choice of music; it was very emotional but absolutely beautiful. I love how he enhanced our photos of my Mom into this wonderful slide presentation. MBS Video Productions will work endless hours to make sure that their customers are 100% satisfied. It is truly a treasure for our family and I can't express how great it was to have worked with Michael to create this memory."
"We hired MBS Video Productions for our wedding in the summer of 2005. It was one of the best decisions we had made because the video turned out much better than we ever expected. They were able to capture so many moments and details that you wonder how they did it. The editing and music they add to your video makes you feel like you are a star in a movie, letting you remember all the things that happened that day. They also made a video montage that was played during the reception. Everyone loved it and commented to us how they had never seen anything like it. We fully recommend anyone to hire MBS Video Productions.
"Videography was not something that we considered having at our wedding, for budgeting reasons. Now that we have the end results and are able to look back at our special day on DVD, I don't know what we would do without it! The final product blew me away! How did you get all those angles? I urge couples to, at the least consider, having videography of your special day. Moments caught on photo are nice, moments captured on video is like living the day all over again. The best part of having MBS Video Productions there was, we didn't even notice that he was there. mike was very courteous, professional and showed great dedication to his work. The hours he devoted to film our wedding day was beyond belief and not to mention the hours to edit the footage... I don't know what to say. Thanks Mike!"
"We found MBS Video Productions amazing to work with. They were very interested in hearing exactly what we wanted and were more than happy to make it work. During our wedding they were very professional and went about their job almost completely unnoticed. When we received our wedding DVD we were floored with the quality of the finished product. it was even more amazing than we could have ever imagined. Already we have recommended MBS Video Productions to a number of people & will continue to do so. "
"Spectacular! You are truly awesome at this kind of thing! The way you opened it up is out of this world - with the airplane sound and the toast... oh yeah that rocks! And the music you picked is beyond cool! I especially loved the last bit with Gail and me dipping! I can't possibly thank you enough for this. See you Saturday! And thank you, thank you, thank you so much once again."

"Just wanted to let you know how delighted I was with the video documentary that you made of my mother's life! You have very carefully and thoughtfully captured not only my mother's life story, but also the essence of who she is, and put it into a meaningful and touching presentation that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Even though my mother is suffering from both short term and long term memory loss, you effectively and sensitively brought her story out of her. Your film made me laugh and cry, and brought back so many precious memories. It was truly a wonderful documentary of her life and far exceeded any expectations I had for it. I am so grateful for the priceless gift you have given to me and my family. Thank you so very much."

Tony & Erinne
"Our wedding video far exceeded expectations. Our wedding day went by so quickly, our nervousness and feelings of being overwhelmed cause much of the ceremony to be a blur. The video captured moments from our special day that we, as the bride and groom, had missed. Watching the video we were able to see for the first time what our wedding day really looked like and appreciate how beautiful the really was. We look forward to showing the video to our future children and grandchildren. The technical quality of the video was superb. The image, colour and sound quality was excellent. The editing was artistic and the video flowed smoothly. Music from our wedding was incorporated in the video, along with instrumental music that helped set the tone of the video - romantic without being cheesy. The highlights DVD was a surprise bonus. The kid-cam was hilarious and the montage to our wedding song really blew us away - beautiful. MBS Video Productions was fabulous throughout the whole process From our first meeting they displayed enthusiasm and professionalism. They attended our rehearsal so they could scout out the location and plan their shooting according for our ceremony plans. This pre-planning enabled them to shoot our wedding in a way that captured everything without being intrusive. They used two cameras throughout the ceremony and reception, ensuring nothing was missed. We received the finished video package sooner than expected. The video arrived in an elegant DVD book cover, wrapped in a beautiful flower basket. We could not be happier with our wedding video. We highly recommend MBS Video Productions. You can trust they will memorialize your special day in a professional, artistic and touching (yet not cheesy) way."
