Micheal just did all the photography for our wedding and it turned out better than expected! We let do his thing and he captured our special day beautifully! We couldn't recommend him more!

Do NOT book with Michael Garza, MVP, or nontraweddings, for anything. This man is a scam artist. Excuse after excuse, 8 months since our wedding and a year since our initial engagement shoot and he still hasn't delivered what we paid him $6190 for. The pictures he took are not at all like what he advertises. Those are staged for a bait and switch. That's not what we received. It took over 2 months for our pictures, then another 2 months for our raw footage which is so terrible we can't share it. The raw video he had filmed by his "intern" who couldn't hold the camera steady and filmed the ceiling during speeches. We were in disbelief, a child could have held the camera better. The angles are weird and uncentered, parts are missing, it's just awful. He never provided our drone footage, our feature video, or any of the edits we asked for that were included in the price. We gave him a final deadline last month and he assured me he would meet it, but added in that he was bankrupt. He did not meet the deadline. We don't have much because we asked guests to be present with us and not film since we had a "professional". Very sad overall. We ignored red flags and went with Michael because he was recommended by our venue, and had these raving, probably fake, 5 star Google reviews. He was not punctual at our engagement shoot, and that bubbly personality he has disappeared once he was paid in full. We are not the only couple he has recently scammed. Book anyone besides Michael Garza and his team. The wedding industry can be so predatory toward couples, and Michael is one of those vultures. If you already booked him, back out! He'll lie to ruin your memories to make a quick buck.

Michael, the brains behind MVP is a great guy. If it was just his responsibility, communication skills and respectfulness, it’d be enough to entrust him with capturing your special moments… but he’s also got vision. Ringing true to his company name, Michael’s an artist - he won’t miss a beat with his camera, but what he’s capable of doing in post (and how he sets himself up for it while shooting) exceeds any expectations you might have when hiring him. Implementing both his creativity and technical skills, he tells the story behind the visuals with flawless and breathtaking ability.

I hired Michael to film and take photos for my friend’s bachelor party and could not be more thrilled with the results!

My friend wanted a music video style memory of the weekend and MVP exceeded expectations!

Michael is professional, efficient, respectful, personable, energetic, and just really good at what does. He takes pride in his craft and it shows in his work.

Will definitely being hiring MVP for my wedding!

Michael Garza is one of the most personable and professional people that I have hired. He has the ability to make you feel relaxed during a session. When you first meet him it’s as if you have known him forever. He communicates well during the session but also after the fact. I had several questions that I emailed him. He responded immediately. During the session his energy is contagious. My family of 8 had so much fun. Taking pictures can be stressful but with Michael as the photographer we did not feel that way at all. The end result was an indication of his skill. The pictures were amazing! I want to hire Major Visionary Productions again.

Michael and the MVP team are next level. I think some photographers/videographers have just got it, and they’ve got it. Their work is timeless while simultaneously pushing creative boundaries. It’s lively, artful, and candid. I think their willingness to goof around and have fun with their clients is the secret sauce.

As a client, what I want from a photo/video team is this: people I feel at ease and can let loose around, whose skill I have complete faith in. This is that team. So glad to have hired Major Visionary Productions for our wedding day 🙂
