Small Studio. Big Focus.
Margen Productions is a videography and photography studio based in Angier, NC, serving Johnston County and the greater Central NC area. We work with small businesses, local brands, and individuals who are serious about how they show up visually.
The studio is run by Mike — an Angier-based videographer and photographer who grabbed his dad's camcorder as a kid, pointed it at everything Star Wars-adjacent he could find, and never really put it down. Over the years, a love of capturing moments turned into a genuine craft, and a craft turned into a business. These days, Mike shoots both video and photo for clients across Central NC — but if you ask him, video has his heart. Photos freeze a moment. Video brings it back to life: the sound, the motion, the feeling of actually being there. He thinks of it as living memory, and that philosophy shapes every project he takes on.
Every project starts the same way: figuring out the goal before picking up the camera. We think about platforms, audiences, and what needs to happen after someone sees your content. The result is work you're proud to put out there.
Margen Productions is a small studio on purpose. Every client works directly with Mike — not a coordinator, not a hand-off. You get the same person in the planning call as you do on shoot day.
Common Questions
Based in Angier, NC — comfortable working anywhere in Johnston County, Wake County, and Central NC. If your project is further out, just ask. Travel is usually not a dealbreaker.
Turnaround varies by project and package — it depends on the scope, the amount of footage, and how much editing is involved. We'll lock in a clear delivery timeline together before the shoot so you always know what to expect.
You do. Once final payment clears, all deliverables are yours to use however and wherever you'd like — no licensing fees or restrictions attached.
Yes. If you have a tight deadline, rush turnaround is available for an additional fee. Just mention your timeline when you reach out and we'll see what's possible.
Color grading and sound mixing are included in every video package. Brand photo packages include color correction and standard retouching.
Not much. A quick pre-shoot call covers the details. If you have a mood board or reference images, bring those along — otherwise, prep is my job.
