Frequently Asked Questions

LET'S CHAT ABOUT YOUR WEDDING

Here is a list of the questions I’m asked a lot as a wedding videographer. If there is anything else that you need to ask or curious about, feel free to hit me up.

What is the typical length of your films?

Do you ever make longer films? (I don’t want to miss anything!)

What if my fiance doesn’t want videography?

Why hire a videographer? Isn't photography enough?

My little cousin has a video camera and I can pay him $200. Why shouldn’t I just do that? 

How do we reserve our wedding date?

How long after the wedding will we get our wedding video?

Have you ever worked with X photographer or Y venue?

Do you travel?

What do you NOT include in your work and why? 

What do you ensure you include and why? 

Can we pick our music?

What happens after we inquire?

Even if I haven’t, I’ll be doing my work to get familiar with them. Before the wedding, I typically reach out to the photographer to coordinate a game plan, so that we can be on the same page all day. I’ll also chat with your DJ since we will be working together to capture great audio, the coordinator for details of the day, and the venue to check for any limitations that I need to know about. On the day of your wedding, I show up early to scout the property for perfect locations.

What happens after we inquire?

While most couples trust me throughout the creative process (and I haven’t received a complaint about music choice yet,) your suggestions are always welcome. I will do my best to work with your ideas but keep in mind that to use music in a wedding video, it must be legally licensed (and most mainstream music is not available to license.) I typically pick music based on the vibe and emotion of the wedding day. This is usually the first thing I do when I start to edit your wedding video since it is the driving force behind your video. If you have a mood or genre in mind then we can discuss this before your wedding day.

My mission is always this: to leave such an impression on each person I serve so that their legacy and our culture are impacted in a positive way forever.

“I am so glad I found Matthew. Not only is he the friendliest person ever, but he is also extremely talented. Multiple people cried while watching our 1-minute instagram teaser video. Matthew is hard-working and thoughtful, and he made us feel special during the entire process. He openly communicates and spends time getting to know you and your preferences, which is probably why all of his videos are so intimate and special. It really is true when people say the day is a blur and goes by way too quickly. Thanks to Matthew, we were able to relive our day over and over.”

“We cannot believe how amazing our elopement video turned out! Matthew captured the day so beautifully and showed how magical it really was! He portrayed our story so beautifully. He took the time to call us and get to know us so he could capture everything we are about on film. Since we chose to elope, we didn’t plan too much, but Matthew was there to help us plan as well! He helped us sort out all the little details of the park as well. He really made our day special and better than we ever could have imagined.”

"He portrayed our story so beautifully."

– Kennedy

“Working with Matthew was an awesome experience from start to finish. Even though he maintains a busy schedule, I still felt like we were his only clients. He was always available for calls, he checked in on us frequently via email, and he went above and beyond to help and calm our concerns. He was even able to live stream our wedding for all our remote family. Because of him, my 86 year old grandmother was able to watch me get married!”
