It all started with a simple favor.

And a heart for captivating stories.

It all began in 2016.

I entered the wedding industry thanks to a thoughtful request—re-editing my sister’s wedding video into a story-driven film. Saying yes to that favor was one of the best decisions I’ve made. I was just starting my undergrad in Cinema and Television Arts, with little more than intuition and a deep desire to create something meaningful. Nearly nine years later, that passion for honest, emotional storytelling still drives my work.

A heart for Jesus and for people.

I have a heart after Jesus and see my work as the ministry He’s called me to. I used to wonder where He would lead me to serve, and I truly believe filming weddings is part of that calling. I’ve always been deeply moved by people—the heart of family, legacy, and the stories that bind us together. I believe love is one of the greatest gifts we’re given to create and share, and weddings are some of the most beautiful moments where we get to celebrate that.
When I’m not filming weddings, I’m creating commercial content or making music. I love the legacy I’m building with my family. I’ve been married to my beautiful wife, Adri, for nearly six years. We have a bright and curious son, Kailo, and we’re excited to welcome our daughter, Raya, later this year. We also have a sweet rescued terrier named Lyla—though honestly, she rescued us.

“I remember searching through many different videographers and not finding any suitable. However, when I found Call It Captivation, I knew they were it! The work they do definitely brings out the wonderful emotions you expect from a wedding film. These guys are definitely great... from initial meeting, to email communication, to the day of the wedding. They are professional yet friendly, and help make you feel as comfortable as possible. Matt was also very easy to reach whenever I had a question. I am patiently waiting for our wedding footage, but I know I will not be disappointed!”
