WED IN MOTION.
I’m Matthew. You know what I love? That your love is worth making stories about. I hand make genuine and thoughtful small films.
HE IS
THIS THING + THAT THING
I am the youngest of five. And that gave me a love of three things – conversation, making others laugh and being the one with the video camera.
As a kid we used to spend weekends making videos. I loved sitting and watching what we’d just done and getting that instant feedback, the laughter and the happiness. I quickly realised how much we all loved watching slices of time that we didn’t even realise had become moments; our moments. We were making history as we lived it.
Film. I love the word. Yes I’m a videographer, because that’s the tool we use. But I make films, crafting personal stories to be re-watched for years and years that I know are going to evoke the feelings, the beauty and the atmosphere of the day they were shot.
I shoot personal stories. The depth and breadth of a relationship essentially and effectively told through the power of film.
One bride has described it like this, “I used to watch my parents video when I was young. It was deeply personal. But I wish the quality was better. I saw Matthew’s work and they (the films) are incredible. And now with our own wedding it’s not just a video that my family says is nice. They say it’s amazing.”
They’re amazing because they’re entirely influenced and injected with your personality. In simple terms, the films are you – your story. I pay attention to the small moments, the connections made, not just the checklist stuff since weddings are so much more than the sum of their parts.
