cap·ti·vat·ion
/ˌkæp.tɪˈveɪ.ʃən/ noun

The feeling of being drawn in completely — without hesitation and with authenticity.

That which cannot be recreated — only remembered. Felt. Cherished.

Moments that are quiet, wild, ordinary, and profound — deserving to be seen, preserved, and felt again.

I believe that love is your legacy.

Hey friends, my name is Matt.
Every wedding I'm reminded how beautiful and powerful our love stories speak to our hearts.
I love making space for the raw, vulnerable moments. Moments that could often be overlooked but hold deep sentimental value. I deeply value the importance of legacy and I desire to create wedding films that honor and celebrate your story and all of its parts.
My hope is that when you watch your film, you feel seen in a way that is honest and intentional. I create films for couples who are full of heart. Cherishing their love story and all those that are a part of it.

Capturing the raw and intentional moments that speak to the heart.

I’m driven to create films that honor life’s beauties—love being the thread that ties it all together. I focus on capturing honest moments and the raw emotions behind them. Legacy moves me deeply—the foundations laid by your family and how your marriage continues that journey. My hope is that your film makes you feel truly seen and resonates with the intimate power only film can deliver.

HANNAH & PAUL

ARROW PARK, MONROE, NEW YORK

From the moment I met Hannah and Paul, there was an ease—an instant connection that turned a short 30-minute call into nearly an hour of honest conversation and shared prayer. Their story is one of quiet perseverance and unwavering faith, a relationship deeply rooted in Christ. Their wedding weekend was heartfelt and sacred, surrounded by their community on a secluded estate above Arrow Lake, unforgettable and present.

SARA + BRENNAN

BELLEVUE HALL, WILMINGTON, DELWARE

Some people have a way of pulling you in—of making you feel truly seen and heard. That’s exactly who Sara and Brennan are, and their wedding weekend reflected that in every way. Loved ones traveled from across the country to Wilmington, Delaware, where Brennan grew up, to witness their vows—spoken right in front of his childhood home. Their story is one of serendipity and a love that’s steadfast, unmistakably theirs. I left a piece of my heart with them—and they left a piece of theirs with me.

ESTHER & ERIC

TWIN OAKS, SAN MARCOS, CA

Esther and Eric’s love for each other was woven into every detail of their wedding day. From the carefully chosen guests to the Korean traditions they honored, everyone felt part of something truly meaningful. The weather didn’t go as planned—what was meant to be a sunny afternoon in San Marcos turned into a rain-soaked celebration. But maybe that was the point. Call it a blessing in disguise—showers of luck, love, and a ceremony no one will forget, carried through with joy until the very last song of the night.

AMY & WILLIS

HACIDENA ENCANTADA, CABO SAN LUCAS

We’ve had the joy of filming weddings for Amy and Willis’ friends in the past, so when they invited us to capture their own celebration in Cabo, it was an easy yes. Not just for the stunning backdrop of Los Cabos, but because of the deep, genuine love they share—with each other and with the people around them. Throughout the entire wedding week, we felt completely embraced, like part of the family. Fun, adventurous, peaceful, and unforgettable—those are just a few words to describe their celebration, and even then, they barely scratch the surface.

  • "I tear up every time I watch our highlight because all of those little details were noticed and seen. Things that we spent so much time thinking about or working on, that could have been so easily overlooked were captured and artistically weaved together."

    Amy Y.

  • "They were diligent about trying to capture the most beautiful moments, catching the light so that we were illuminated in the most spectacular ways, and having us do certain things multiple times until they got the perfect shot - or until I broke down from laughing too much. What's especially amazing (I'm sorry, I'm running out of adjectives) is that they managed to capture our spirits - including all of our silliest and goofiest moments."

    Tiffany T.

  • "The videos speak magnitudes on their own of how meticulous and detailed they are on bringing that same emotion, felt on our wedding day, into film that we can replay over and over for years to come. We are so grateful to have had them during our wedding and would recommend Matt and their team to anyone who wants a memorable film."
