Weddings are
not About
1. Say Hello
I absolutely believe that no two weddings are the same, just like no two couples are alike. Every couple I work with is unique and special from Day One. I’m here to ensure that you and your fiancé have an incredible experience, and that connection shines through in every photo and video.
Your wedding deserves nothing less than the best, and I want your experience to be as unforgettable as the memories we’ll capture. After all, you’ll be reliving these moments for a lifetime and passing them down through generations! So reach out, let's start get to know each other.
2. Consultation
I’m thrilled you got in touch! We’ll schedule a call where we can get to know each other better. It’s a chance to discuss your love story, explore which packages best fit your day, and answer any booking questions you might have.
Given that details will be fine-tuned later, I'll help in creating a timeline, discuss the possibility of engagement or bridal sessions, and/or any other pre-wedding films you might want.
After all, we’re going to be best friends for 6+ hours on your wedding day, so let’s make sure we’re the perfect match for each other.
Once you're ready, I recommend booking as soon as possible. Some couples even secure their date with me before choosing their venue! I don’t mean to add pressure, but my calendar fills up quickly—especially for peak dates, which are often booked 8-12+ months in advance, and 6+ months for non-peak dates.
In short, book early to reserve your date and ensure you get me for your special day. There’s only one of me, and dates fill up fast!

Mente and his team are so professional and so kind and SO talented!! They had a way of making everyone feel comfortable and they captured the most beautiful, authentic moments. I showed Mente an example of what I wanted our video to be like and he nailed it - and it's even better than I could've expected. He even provided a preview of our video just TWO DAYS after the wedding! I am so grateful I went with this company. If you're on the fence about getting a videographer.. don't be. DO IT! It's worth EVERY penny. (And go with Mentopia) 10/10 recommend :)
"very impressed. blown away, actually"
Incredible! Mente and team exceeded our expectations in every way. You can tell Mente is a master at his craft. Before our wedding, my wife and I had an intro call with Mente where he got to know us and what we were looking for. He was well prepared and a pleasure to have with us the entire day of our wedding. He got everything we wanted, but also went above and beyond to direct us and capture additional footage. Everything from rehearsal dinner speeches, family interviews, drone shots, and detailed shots of the venue/decor. He was extremely friendly/professional, worked well with our photographer, and made the process so seamless. The quality of his work far exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend Mente for anyone’s wedding you won’t be disappointed!
"Mentopia exceeded our expectations"
Mente and the Mentopia Weddings team were one of our favorite and most important vendors we hired for our big day. We hired the full photo and video package, and every single photo and moment captured felt like we were reliving the magic all over again. We cannot thank Mente and his team enough for creating such special content for us. Mente was highly organized, asked a lot of great questions to get to know us, and he captured both sides of our culture at our wedding. On top of that, we received photos, highlight films, and full-length films in such a timely fashion - Mente works fast! We cannot recommend his team and their professionalism enough.
"We're all smiles every time we see our photos and videos"
Mente is such a warm, kind, talented soul. He & his team far exceeded expectations with their talent, professionalism, & efficiency! I am so beyond thankful I chose Mente to capture my wedding. I have such beautiful photos and a mind blowing video to remember my big day by, thanks to him! At the end of the day, the photos and video are all you have left of that day. Do yourself a favor and hire Mente, you won't be disappointed! He is so personable and such a pleasure to work with.
"stunning photos, an incredible video, and an unforgettable experience."
So SO many good things to say about Mente and Mentopia productions. To start, Mente is extremely kind, patient, and EXCELLENT at his work- you can tell he loves what he’s doing and is very passionate about it. I cannot express the emotions from seeing the highlight video he created for our wedding. I had tears as I got to relive the best day of my life all over again. Chills!! And the compliments from friends and family about the video has been nonstop! I’ve watched our highlight video probably 100 times and will no doubt watch it 100 more. It was so beautiful. Thank you Mente, it's worth every penny!
"Mentopia’s work is priceless!"
Mentopia was truly the best vendor we picked for our wedding. Mente and team did our engagement and wedding photos! My husband (fiance at the time), forgot his belt for the engagement shoot and without missing a beat, Mente offered his own belt to him. Clearly just one example where he went above and beyond. We just received our wedding photos back (only took one month after the wedding) and are LOVING these pictures! I can't wait to decide which ones we print for our house and family. I could not recommend them enough.
"the best decision for our wedding—
beyond amazing service and stunning photos!
