Dan H2024-12-19 We are super happy with LJ Morelli work. We have done several parties, and John has always done a masterful job. The final product is great!. Mia Pitsironis2024-09-07 Finding John to be our videographer was truly a gift. I had a specific vision of what I was looking for in my wedding video, I wanted it to feel real and authentic. When I found example videos from John, I knew his style was exactly what I was looking for! From my first interaction with him, he was so knowledgeable, helpful, and flexible. He was the vendor I was most excited about going into my wedding day. On the day of, John was early, and his crew was more than helpful. They kept the day feeling light and we couldn't even tell they were there, aside from his team member basically being MY assistant, carrying my dress for me so it wouldn't drag on the floor, holding doors for me, holding my flowers, and more. John & his team went above and beyond what I could have imagined, and I am over the moon with my video. We got our first sneak peak almost immediately & while we were on our honeymoon and it was the best feeling getting to rewatch special moments so soon. John was asking for feedback/edit requests along the way to make it perfect for us and I can't wait to share it with my family members who weren't able to attend the wedding, and to watch for years to come. Thank you so much, John!! Mike and Jinia Gulshany2024-06-12 John was the best! Made our special day even better! He’s such a great director and captured every moment. His video editing as well is superb and we can’t thank him enough! We will always be able to relive the happiest day of our lives. He was very easy to talk to as well and before the wedding made us feel confident! Simply the best!! Jamie Scheinthal2023-12-15 We could not be happier with our choice of hiring John Morelli as the videographer for their September wedding. Every so often I am pleasantly surprised and thankful that a vendor not only keeps his promises but goes the extra mile. His work is creative and beautiful. He puts his heart and expertise into capturing the specialness of the day. He was the first vendor to show up in the morning and the last one to leave at the end of the evening. Before and during the event he gives 100%+. He is kind, caring, calming, dependable, hardworking and delivers! There is no chasing him down leading up to the event or once it is over. He proactively sends clips quickly as they are ready, seeking feedback, requests, and suggestions as he only wants you to be happy with what he creates. He is amazing and I would highly recommend him to anyone that is looking for a videographer! Michael Ripa2023-12-14 We first reached out to John the day before our wedding. Without any hesitation, he agreed to be our videographer. He was continuously responsive, making preparations and confirming with us how we wanted our wedding to be shot. On the day of the wedding, he showed up early and provided a drone to capture the ceremony. Throughout the day, he was quick to capture the best moments and was not afraid to get into the mix during the reception. After the wedding, he worked diligently to edit and finalize the videos, sending us samples of his work so that we could get a sense of what the final video would look like and suggest any changes. Our final video was beautiful and succinctly captured the most memorable moments from the wedding with seamless transitions. He also provided us with the raw footage on our own flash drive. John is an incredible videographer who is up for any challenge, and we recommend his expertise at any event. Angelica Ferstenberg2023-12-04 John was amazing and professional. He always communicated well. Him and his team did a great job and captured some moments I had completely forgotten about. It was a great day and happy John and his team was able to record everything that we can share and rewatch in the future. Rita Mondello2023-11-08 John was better than expected! He captured my daughter's wedding day and was so professional from the moment he arrived. We have such a high-quality video. John suggested to add a drone and we couldn't be happier with the drone footage as well. The edited video is beyond a lasting treasure. I highly recommend him to everyone! M.2023-11-07 John's video services were wonderful. He was professional, reasonably priced, punctual & amazing to work with. He captured my daughter's wedding beautifully. I would definitely use his services again. Joanna Galano2023-11-07 John and his team were amazing on our wedding day (6/17/23). John is extremely professional and precise. From our first meeting over the phone to this very day, communication with John was easy - probably the easiest of all of my vendors. My husband is extremely camera shy and John made sure that he barely knew he was there. While we were away on our honeymoon, John reached out with some sneak peak videos - we were able to relive the day while sitting in paradise. His work is absolutely amazing; within a couple of weeks, we had separate video clips of our first look, first dance, ceremony and then we had an AMAZING full video of the entire day. We are able to relive the day perfectly thanks to John. You absolutely WANT and NEED John and his team at your event. I promise you that. P.S. - Don't sleep on the drone, you'll need one of those too!!
