In luxury and fashion there are 2 types of buyers. Buyers that buy brand name for the brand name, and buyers that buy brands for the artistry. Mikey Ramirez Films is the latter.
Let’s take 2 watch brands for example - Rolex vs Jaeger-LeCoultre.
I wasn’t much of a watch guy up until recent years, but I knew what a Rolex was. And after taking interest in watches, I discovered Jaeger-LeCoultre and I immediately fell in love.
Rolex have great watches don’t get me wrong! They’re timeless, safe and powerful. However JLC for me shares the elegant yet craftsmanship my soul has always craved.
With JLC, they’re constantly pushing the envelope yet maintaining a timeless and elegant look to them with a focus on artistry and legacy.
That’s where I ultimately want to take Mikey Ramirez Films. Into a place of artistry, legacy, beauty and boldness.
Serving couples that appreciate the artistry behind not just my work, but the depth and meaning behind their story and the story of their loved ones. Me and my couples all have a little “main character energy” in us, but do it with grace, honor and gratitude. ❤️

I want to talk more in depth about what I mean when I emphasize “legacy” in my work and in my business.
Here’s what I mean:
The couples I book, each have a desire to honor something greater than themselves. Whether it’s their parents, their grandparents, their children or even their friendships and relationships. They believe they are a part of a bigger picture and they find joy to be extending and furthering that legacy together.
So for them, having video captured on their behalf, while they get to enjoy the incredible blessing of marriage, is a must have. No “where’s my phone to capture this special moment” anxiety. No “I wish I got the dress with pockets so I can carry my phone just in case”. None of that. They want to witness their day, the joy on the faces of their families, the tears, the laughs. They want to enjoy it first hand with their own eyes. YET reexperience the fullness of it on film because they hired the best to do it.
This next season of your life is an admirable one. Marriage and weddings are a once in a lifetime experience, don’t miss it!

Every year is a year of growth. And every year, my couples teach me more about myself and my business than they might think.
Every year I go deeper and deeper about what I provide and what I want my business to be known for.
One true value I’ve found this past year that I’m pressing into moving forward as a wedding filmmaker, are the values of family & legacy.
One of my driving factors in life, is to lead a life that’s honoring to God, honoring to my family and honoring to myself. I believe each of us have a story tell, and we are a part of a bigger, majestic story.

This year I’m taking a risk, and will be doubling down on my desire to capture the essence of who my couples are and the legacy they want to leave behind. Marriage is a BIG deal! No matter how minimal today’s culture wants to make of it. So it deserves to be celebrated and to be remembered.

My goal as a filmmaker is to capture the essence of your love and your values. What do you want to be known for? What is your family known for? What stories will you tell of your parents? And finally, what stories will your children tell of you? Let’s dream big this year. ❤️ God bless you.

reposting repost of -

My first wedding was in 2016. And the first time editing any video was in 2009. So I can comfortably say I’ve been doing this a long time.

And the longer time goes, the faster camera technology seems to grow.

With the rise of professional quality at the consumer price range, having “good quality” is no longer enough. Anybody can spend $2k on a camera and start making money in a near instant.

And the problem isn’t that businesses are easier to start and thrive, the problem is that we’re now open to this sort of microwave business mentality.

Where good looking but cheap is now more accessible than ever.

And don’t get me wrong - no price point is a bad price point. Even if someone is purposefully driving down the market with unbelievably cheap prices. Eventually, they’ll find it’s either not sustainable, or the quality of service isn’t up to par.

However, I myself, along with many of my friends in this industry, have noticed a rise of new names that are in this industry to make a quick buck, don’t know how to run a business, and the people that get ripped? Brides & grooms. And then the rest of us are left having to pick up the pieces while these companies file for bankruptcy and keep this money.

We even have companies that are beginning to throw in all these “extras” just so they can make the extra money rather than guiding a couple to decide whether or not that’s right for them.

So what do we do? What’s the solution?

Well, as suggested, “start vetting your vendors”.

Don’t be afraid to hold them up to standard. And don’t be lured in by low prices. I understand you have a budget to work within. But at least make sure they are credible. Check their content. Is it filled with their beautiful work? Is it fueled with comments from their community fully supporting them? Or is their content full of a bunch of marketing techniques, bots and bought followers / comments?

Get onto a zoom call or a phone call at the bare minimum and get to know them on a more personal side. What’s their passion? What’s their driving factor?

My post is too long so I end here. ❤️

A little BTS from my brother from one of my childhood best friend’s wedding this weekend in Rosa Rito, Mx.
It was an honor to be there for his destination wedding and get to serve my 2nd family! ❤️
Can’t wait for everyone to see the film. 🇲🇽💪🏽

My heart and my business’ heart is overflowing with time and attention right now hahaha. I can feel the happiness in my business as I’ve been giving it MUCH needed attention!
Been pushing myself a little bit more creatively lately and “sharping my axe” so to speak. So once my wedding season starts up again I’ll be creatively rejuvenated and ready to BRING IT! 🔥
Room to breathe and margin is the life and blood of a premium / luxury business. Yeah money is important, but if you’re too busy making money and not able to love your product and clients well, then you’re TOO BUSY!
One of the best investments you can make into your business, career & wallets is to TAKE. TIME. OFF.

MAN!! I’m caught up on ALL of my editing for the year and have a little bit of extra time to relax a little bit and work on some much needed internal stuff!
I’ve always been a huge advocate for letting your schedule BREATHE so that you can have time to feed yourself AND feed your business. In order to come back stronger and more impactful.
I have some cool stuff in the works right now for you and my schedule for the year is filling in nicely!
I have room roughly for one more booking per month starting in September! So be sure to book a discovery call through my website if you’re wanting that Mikey Ramirez Films experience. We do things BIG over here. 🤩
Here’s to the rest of 2022 🥂🎉

These past few months for business development have been INCREDIBLE. It’s always been my goal to try and achieve excellence in business and my personal life.
And one of my biggest lessons has been that excellence does not = perfection. Nor should it.
Excellence is a mindset & a concept in which to serve others with the best of your capabilities. With a ready to go attitude and an empathetic posture. Ready to solve problems for others and make their lives incrementally BETTER.
Chasing perfection will leave you stressed & burnt out at the end of the day. Wasting energy on the little things and leaving little energy for the big things.
This year I’ve taken on less weddings but have felt for the first time the ability to serve and to serve well.
I’m incredibly grateful for 2021 and all of the lessons my couples & work have taught me, and I’m so excited for this year, to level up together even more!! ❤️

This week I took a few days to travel with my family and it’s amazing how refreshed you feel even if it’s just a couple of days of traveling and enjoying life.
And as fun as it’s been - I’m excited to get back to it and get caught up on some much needed editing.
Sending out a few more collections this week that I’m excited for my couples & for you guys to see! 🙏🏽

6 years ago at my last ever job, I remember talking to God, saying: “Lord the last thing I’d want to be is an entrepreneur.. nothing sounds more dreadful than manipulating someone just to make a buck”

Fast forward 2 months later I’m moving to France to become a filmmaker because working a “regular job” just didn’t feel right.

I finally came to terms with the idea of becoming an entrepreneur but told God on one circumstance - “I refuse to be the sleazy, manipulative salesman. So if I start any business, I want it to be something that will impact lives”

After trial and error, working in most industries, corporate, music, film, real estate, I eventually landed on wedding filmmaking and fell in love… kinda.. the one thing that everyone I had known “hated” - I loved.

I would hear it, “ugh, i can’t wait to get out of this industry” or “don’t get caught in this cause you won’t get to leave!”

But I secretly loved it. Yeah it hasn’t been totally perfect. I haven’t been perfect, but that’s the beauty of it.

I get to film and capture things that are meaningful to my couples. And as I grow and learn more about myself and my couples. Getting to know their needs and even my own. The more I chisel away at this business and God chisels away at my heart, the more blessed I feel to get to capture these moments and produce something that is truly admired by people.

I’ve never really been fascinated by things, but giving people a good experience continues to be a driving factor in what I do. Uplifting people, serving people and being a resource to help inspire.

When I prayed in 2016 and asked God for a business that’s not predatory or manipulative - he really answered my prayer.

I’m so grateful. I love my job. I love my couples. I love my friends in the industry & I can’t wait to serve my couples from 2022, 2023 & beyond. ❤️

Thank you for such a great experience. Here’s to many more. 🥂

Sometimes you can get so caught up in the “common” and “safe” that you forget to portray your uniqueness. Thousands of people, like me, being told “what you should be doing” when you’re 1 “I give up” away from flourishing in your uniqueness and attracting those that are thirsty for their own.

How many times I’ve heard “but this what ‘they’re’ doing”

Who is they? And what do “they” have to do with my story?

Are there certain fundamentals you can learn about life? Absolutely! But to be stuck at the fundamentals instead of venturing off, out of fear of failure, judgement, or fear of the unknown? You can only get so far.

We’re all a little crazy. Me sometimes a little bit worse than others. Or at least maybe I’m just more honest 🤪. But I have no problem being an emotionally creative, expressive person. It’s the moments when I’m on my walks / hikes talking to myself and to God, looking like a crazy person that I achieve my best insights.

There are very few people that know I have no problem pushing the envelope, and may even sound crazy or ridiculous at times, but like I’ve been reading from Napoleon Hill “you’re one crazy idea away from success”.

And in my crazy, creative expressions - I’m my most happy.

How do you express yourself? What ways do you feel you’re allowing other’s to prevent you from expressing what makes your soul joyous?

I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting lately on my last 6 years of professionally pursuing filmmaking. A lot of big moments and some extremely low valleys.

With the new year comes a lot of pressure in reflection. What are my goals this year? What did I not like about this past year that I want to change? Where did things go wrong and where did things go right? Where’s the industry headed?

I’ve even been thinking about things from 3 years ago.

And I can honestly say that one of my biggest “failures” was being more focused on growing a business than being a servant. It was focusing too much on outcome rather than enjoying the process. Taking myself too seriously instead of just having fun.

So this year one of my goals is happiness and servanthood.

I want to take on more projects that pique my interest and will push my soul creatively. I want to be more open about the things that inspire me without fear of judgment. I want to be a better friend to the child in me.

Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned in my studies lately, it’s that not everyone gets inspired by what inspires you. Not everyone appreciates the little things that you do. And that’s okay. Don’t let that hold you back from exploring what inspires you, and producing what you feel you’d be proud of. Even if it sucks. Do it anyway.

I’d rather fail at producing something that excites me and learn from it, than to produce something boring and predictable. Eventually I know the multiple bad attempts, will turn into a masterpiece years down the road. ❤️

It takes a real sense of motivation in the heart of a person to decide to give themselves as a willing sacrifice for the safety and freedom of their family friends and community.
A motivation to be admired and sought. A motivation that brings life and potential for the furtherance of a people.
Lord give me strength to even touch a hint of the boldness these men and women hold who have so diligently served our country and people.
Thank you to all of you, who have given your lives for the safety of your families and even my family. I pray that I never grow entitled or forget why I’m able to grow my business and live my life in peace - because of you.
God bless you and your families and thank you for your service. ❤️

Getting through this backlog one by one without burning myself out like I usually do.
These past few days I’ve really taken more time off of social media and it’s been awesome.
But I’m physically going through some withdrawals.

I’m trying to be better at being present. Being present with work, with community & with enjoyment. Trying to be less “reactive” and more “proactive”.

Instead of immediately responding to a text - seeing the text and thinking “i’ll get to it when I’m done editing”.

Or while I’m reading a book and start feeling hungry, “I’ll go eat when I’m done with this chapter”.

All of this minor goal setting has helped my focus so much and I can’t wait to see how much better it’ll get over time.

Good time to start practicing this cause ya boy’s gotta whoooole lot of editing to get through. 🤪

But I’m thankful for this mug one of my amazing bride’s from last year gifted to me. ❤️ it’s a great reminder to me that what I’m doing is meaningful to all of my clients and that’s what keeps me going.

I may not be perfect but the work I do comes from the heart, and I wouldn’t wanna do it for anyone else other than my amazing couples. ❤️

YEAR 28 🥳
I’ve written about 2 - 3 different texts so i’m just going to stick to something “simple”.
A LOT has happened in the year 27. A LOT.
From working like a dog, to feeling like i’m on top of the world to feeling like i’m in over my head to the Lord taking me to the next level.
I sit back at 28 and think to myself: “what more Lord?”. I’ve legit done EVERYTHING. Why me? What more is there to see? What more is there to accomplish?
If i completely stopped what i’m doing today and chose to do nothing else, i can truly say that my soul is satisfied and content. I’ve done so much!

BUT.. 👀 we all know THAT ain’t gonna happen. This energy i have in my bones won’t let me stop! It’s time to reach even newer heights. It’s time to bless MORE people. It’s time to serve the Lord in GREATER capacities. And it’s time to put some high quality wood into the kindling and turn it into a bonfire! 🔥
Hope you guys are ready. ❤️

Uploading this the morning after a wedding, so I look more like “🤪” than i do in the photo!
But i just wanted to take the time to thank everyone for being apart of my new rebrand and launch!
I’ve never been the “overly-official” or “get it completely right” kind of guy. I mean, I used to be, but all i cared about was just wanting to know that you were a part of it. I genuinely feel overwhelmed with gratitude and the response, the calls and the text messages from you congratulating me.
I’m seriously just a dude from a little town, of one of the hardest working families, that just wanted to do something that had meaning.
So thank you again & again for being a part of this process with me!
I still have a few more things to announce like the podcast AND some extra fun youtube content. Like watching my FIRST EVER wedding video. 👀.
Thank you guys again!! And i’m grateful that Jesus’ faithfulness always outweighs my brokenness. Otherwise, I probably would have completely failed 3 months in!
Can’t wait to see what else the Lord has in store and for you to be a part of many more years to come. ❤️

I'm so excited to be releasing the new official logo / staple for my wedding film business! ⁠
I wanted something that was really going to be unique but also carry a "bold" & "set apart" vibe. ⁠
I want my future couples to know that I'm tirelessly working on creating a wedding film that's just the same. Something that stands out, something that's unique, and something you can't find anywhere else. ⁠
I want to create wedding films that closely match the essence of who my couples are, with the bold "mikey ramirez" twist.

31/05/2021

It takes another kind of person to willfully and knowingly give their lives for the safety and betterment of their communities.
Thank you to all those who have sacrificed, and thank you to the families who make the sacrifice as well. ❤️

I’ve always been a dreamer. Even as a kid. I always wanted to take the reigns and build something awesome. Whether it was starting bands, starting silly little fan pages with relatable titles on facebook. Starting a youtube channel and creating short skits with my childhood friends. Whatever it was and whatever i did, i just wanted to create something meaningful and see people be impacted.
My number 1 fear at the start of my business 5 years ago, wasn’t a fear of failure, but it was a fear of success. I knew that what i was about to build was going to be successful. But I had to make sure it was going to be righteous.
I didn’t want to take on debt, i didn’t want to manipulate people, i didn’t want to sell my soul, or even work on things i didn’t believe in. I wanted my business model to be christ centered, and to be uplifting to people. I wanted it to be a place where people come and know they’re gonna be lifted up.
I didn’t want to be just be another “used car salesman”. I wanted to know that the people who bought my product felt good about buying from me.
Looking back, i think i’ve been able to do just that. That’s what’s kept me going.
And within this next season, things will only get better. I can’t wait to empower people in the decisions that they’re making in their everyday lives. Focusing on creating content that will uplift, equip, build up, and inspire those who listen. This business, this market, this journey is not about me. It’s about people. It’s about giving back the gift that i’ve been given. The spirit of generosity.

Romans 12:10 says, “Love must be sincere. Detest what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Outdo one another in showing honor.”

Thank you for being a part of this journey with me. It’s been a humbling experience, and be excited, because we’re just getting started. And this week is gonna be filled with exciting releases! I hope you’re blessed by seeing them. ❤️

07/04/2021

Guys, i’m so excited. I have SO much happening right now that i’m excited to share with everyone soon!
Many know that i’ve been a filmmaker since high-school (almost 13 years).
Spent about 5 years pursuing it as a career professionally. Traveling the world (Europe, africa, central america), working in the commercial and entertainment industry. But it wasn’t until last year that i decided to go full time with weddings.
This past year has been a foundational year, getting to know the wedding industry, the flows of weddings and how weddings work to the DETAIL.
Well, i’m excited because after all that i’ve learned, i’m finally in the works of building an amazing brand. A brand that produces impactful, remarkable and romantic wedding films, but also a brand that brings outstanding value to engaged couples as they plan their weddings.
I can’t get into too much detail, but just know that i have some MAJOR stuff coming and i can’t wait to share it with everyone. ❤️

01/01/2021

One of the biggest things I learned to cherish and not apologize for the person that I am. It took me 27 years to realize that I’m a lover, a fighter and a conqueror.
The year 2020 for me was a year of conquering, serving and loving.
I got to conquer my business. I got to serve my clients and I got to love my community.
I’ve been feeling the Lord put me into those sort of, strides. It’s been about a month or 2 that I’ve legitimately felt unstoppable. And to that I say “it’s about time”.. all that hard work over 4 years AND random seasons struggling with panic attacks out of no where. I can truly say that I’ve conquered it all.
My most quoted scripture went from “I consider the sufferings of this present time are nothing compared to the glory that will be reviewed to us” romans 8:18

To now being:

His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, - 2 Peter 1:3

My goal this year is to continue to grow my business to higher places. To continue to conquer and to continue to bless the people I work with. To continue to fight the good fight. To provide for myself, to provide for my community and to build up as many people as I can along the way.
This year I’m realizing that God has given me a voice of inspiration, so I’m going to use that voice to inspire others to greatness. Inspire others to Jesus and to make an impact in their own life, their families, and then their communities.
Jesus loves you, and without him I am nothing. Seriously. He is Lord, and I can’t wait to see what we accomplish this year. Anything is possible.
Here’s to another year of being a servant wherever I go, and bringing people together. ❤️

27/07/2020

If you or anyone you know is planning to get married in 2021, please let me know!

I have brides postponing their 2020 wedding to 2021, meaning normally available dates will be fewer and fewer which also means more date competition in general!

It’s important to book now for 2021. Don’t wait last minute! Next year will be EXTREMELY busy!

04/07/2020

Hey everyone! I still have these dates available for weddings and / or elopement!

Please share this with anyone that you know is getting married this year! ☺️ and have them fill out the contact form on my website (www.mikeyramirez.com) would love to create something beautiful for you!!

22/06/2020

After a few months of very low productivity due to the virus, I’m excited to say that the rest of 2020 is slowly booking up with weddings! 🎉 I’m excited to get to serve my couples for their big days and after investing into education and mentorships from other top wedding filmmakers, I’m excited to use everything I’ve learned to bless my amazing couples and their families with an amazing wedding film for them to reminisce forever! 🥳 I’m still taking on a few more weddings for the rest of the year then I’ll only be booking for 2021. So tag a couple and allow me create something amazing for them! 😊

💍timeless wedding films for the adventurous and romantic couples.
There are so many married couples per year that tell me how they wish they could have hired me to film their wedding.
The value of a wedding film isn’t fully understood until after your wedding.
Don’t make the mistake of thinking “we don’t need a wedding film”. If you do you won’t be able to hear the sounds, the voices and the music all intertwined together in a film to remember your wedding like it was yesterday.
Give me a call, or schedule a call through my website. I’d love to chat with you and answer any questions or concerns you might have!
If you’re going to hire someone to capture your wedding, hire the right person. ☺️

Don’t let short term gratification stop you from long term success and steadiness.

I’ve been learning lately that it’s okay to lose money on jobs or come out even. As long as that job is elevating my brand and business to a place where I wasn’t before.

Yeah it sucks losing out on $500 or even $1,000.. but did you build a lasting relationship with a client that will get you more projects? Did you elevate your work / portfolio with this project so you can start landing higher paying gigs?

Don’t think that free work, or even losing money on a project is always a bad thing. If it’s benefiting you in the long term, it’s okay! Just don’t get into debt. Unless you’re really a risk taker.. I’m not. 😜
