About michael freund films

michael freund films

director

i grew up in europe and from the age of 10 used analogue film cameras. i eventually became a fashion/people photographer in milan, austria, new york city and LA. the nostalgia of polaroids inspired me to make weddings films in a more abstract and ephemeral way, like dreams. my films aim to provide a glimpse of what it felt like on your day, conveying an unmistakable essence about you and the experience.

in a world of perfectly crafted videos, i think the less perfect ones tell a much more important story. the focus should be on you and not on how extravagant the video production was. your wedding film deserves to be unlike any other.

  • Fantastic Wedding Video!!

    Michael is absolutely the right person to produce your wedding video. We hired him, and we were completely blown away by the result. His unique style and overall creativity captured all the important and touching moments, and he then merged them into a beautiful, stunning, and memorable video that was as much fun to watch as it was being at our actual wedding. It has become our tradition to watch it every year on our anniversary! Michael is passionate about his work, he’s a perfectionist, and he’s dependable. I recommend him to every couple I meet who plans to get married. (:

    Michael is truly a master of his craft and such a pleasure to work with. My husband and I hadn’t initially planned on a video, but as soon as we saw Michael’s work we knew we wanted him to capture the moment. The end result was a stunningly beautiful and perfectly portrayed the feeling of our wedding. We are forever grateful for what he’s created.

    Working with Michael from start to finish was absolutely lovely! He is a true artist. He genuinely got to know us and our story beforehand, and by the time we finally met - he felt like an old friend. From the moment they arrived, he and his assistant were ninjas, getting everything from drone shots (!?) to go-pro footage of the groomsmen in the pool. He never hesitated to throw out amazing ideas and things we could capture. Once we finally had the video - we were ecstatic. It blew our minds! It basically should go to Sundance. But really... wow, we wept looking at the most joyous day of our life be reflected to us in such a cinematic and intimate way. This was not your regular wedding video. It was spectacular! We had a chance to show some of our closest friends right away, and of course, everyone was in love with it, and the consensus was, "This is LITERALLY A FILM!" "This filmmaker is incredible," lots of tears, laughs, smiles etc etc :) We absolutely agree. I can't express enough how awesome Michael is; we LOVE his work! Thank you, thank you, thank you. We are so grateful to have had him as part of our day! To sum it up, he is an absolute pleasure to work with; he has an incredible eye and is professional, collaborative, and kind.

    Michael was amazing to work with and captured our day perfectly! We didn't want a cookie cutter video, we wanted something with personality that authentically reflected us and our wedding. We got that in spades with Michael! The video we received was emotional, real, charming, and stunning. We will cherish it forever. If you're looking for something that not only captures your day, but also captures a feeling we highly recommend Michael. He was also extremely easy to work with, attentive, and made us feel at ease.
