“I would like to say a BIG THANK YOU for doing an exceptional job filming and streaming live online my mother’s funeral and celebration of 90 years’ of life. I was struggling to find someone, with the required knowledge, in the U.K. Hours after praying, I connected with you. I just knew your company were God sent and more than equipped to do the job. You made contact with me swiftly, talked me through the process so that I could understand, and made every effort to connect with the other parties involved to ensure you had the capacity to film, and record well. Because of it being covid season, it was crucial to have a good live recording for those who could not join us in person. You did more than good; you did an excellent job, and I’m very grateful. You also expressed sympathy and warmth. On behalf of me and family, thank you so much for helping us to create a final memory - not just for the day but one we can look at in the future.”
“I'm so glad I decided to have my late father's funeral live streamed , it really was a wonderful way to allow those who couldn't attend be part of the celebration of my father's life. The video recording was beautiful as were the photos and the professional courteous service was ten out of ten! I whole heartedly recommend this company.”
“Schmittat Photography was absolutely fantastic & gave 100% wonderful service from beginning to end
The video streaming quality was first class, everyone who viewed said it was so clear and sharp and felt as if they were there in person
We can’t thank them enough, and would promote and encourage anyone to book them for their services offered, we certainly would be booking them over and over and over again
Excellent service

“We could not be more positive about Moritz's work at my father's funeral. He filmed at the graveside (it was a burial) and then at an event with speeches and music in my parents' garden. We were very nervous about doing a livestream due to concerns about it being obtrusive, but in fact this wasn't an issue at all - Moritz was very inconspicuous. The quality of the broadcast was excellent and we were very surprised at how many people either joined online at the time, or viewed the videos afterwards. We felt that it made the funeral significantly more effective as a way of remembering my father. A final comment is that Moritz is a really nice guy. Very highly recommended.”
“We wanted to live stream my fathers funeral as we have many family abroad who couldn’t attend, and Covid restrictions meant we were limited to 30 people. So we needed a way for them all to be able to take part. Moritz was recommended to us and he was great on the phone, explaining everything he could do and providing examples of the service on his website. We booked and the process was very easy and his and his Wife Aldona were really friendly when dealing with everything that needed to be done. On the day, Moritz was all set up in advance and we hardly noticed he was there. The cameras and microphones were not intrusive at all.
The live stream itself was unbelievable. It was respectful, emotional and captured the service perfectly. The multi camera view meant Moritz was able to capture the different angles required to focus on different aspects of the funeral, the speakers and the coffin when required. The sound was fantastic as well. The funeral director watched it outside and commented afterwards that it was the best video she had seen, and she has seen a lot!
Moritz was the able to edit the final version, build in picture and video tributes at the start and save the whole service to download or view at any time (some others we looked at you couldn’t do this).
Overall, we highly recommend Moritz and this service. If you want someone to capture the emotion of your service and personalise it for you, you won’t have to look anywhere else!
Thank you Moritz (and Aldona) for allowing all of our family and friends to take part virtually and say goodbye!”
“Moritz and Aldona at Schmittat Photography were so professional in their approach in live streaming my father's funeral. We had a large audience abroad and everything had to be right on the day, and everything was right on the day.
The service was personal and bespoke in nature, and they responded to queries and questions in an efficient manner - highly recommended.”
“We were so grateful to have Moritz Scmittat ‘live stream’ Mum’s funeral.
His filming was uber-professional and deeply compassionate.
He captured every aspect of our moment with an astonishing creative eye. Yet, I was never ‘aware’ of him filming. He manages to be both present and (almost) invisible in a good kind of way.
The end result was both beautiful and deeply moving. Mum was a legend and got the send off she deserved, with family, friends and colleagues joining us from all around the world.
My favourite part was the ‘Home to Church’ walk. I have never seen my cousins look like that. It is quite simply astonishing. The love and care are palpable through the screen.
We could not have asked for more.
Thank you, Moritz Schmittat, for making the saddest of moments bearable.”
“Moritz provided an excellent service filming and streaming the funeral of my brother. He was professional, unobtrusive and discreet. The video and audio stream was of a very high standard. This service allowed many more friends and family experience the service that could not attend due to Covid. I would absolutely recommend to anyone requiring a live event streaming.”
