P.S., I’m Gonna Marry You | Cute & Tearful Wedding in Dallas, Texas

📷 Favorite Wedding Filmmaking Gear
Caitlin and Tanner warned Rachel and me that there would be tears at their wedding. I didn’t know how true this would be until we showed up and Tanner started tearing up while reading a letter that he wrote to Caitlin, to which she soon followed suit when she read hers as well.

This tearful trend continued throughout the day, with the culmination point being when they saw each other for the first time. Even as Tanner heard Caitlin’s footsteps, happy tears began to fall. Looking back, it may be easier to list the parts of their wedding where someone wasn’t crying.

Couples like these two are why Rachel and I film weddings. We are so thankful that they let us share and capture these moments with them.

Getting married? Whether you’re a cryer or not, we would love to film your wedding. Please get in touch!

A Wedding Filmmaker’s Review Of The Panasonic GH5

💡 Download free GH5 video clips!
The Panasonic GH5 has amazing specs, but is it the best camera for wedding filmmaking? And how does the GH5 compare to the Sony A7Sii?
In this review video, I will answer those two questions! As well as tell you:

😲A feature of this camera that will make you throw away your monopod
💡How the camera handles lowlight, and how it compares to the A7Sii at higher ISOs.
📱Your new iPhone shoots 4K at 60fps, is it any better on the GH5?
👍An awesome GH5 capability that guarantees you’ll never deal with flickering or banding from cheap lights again.
🔟What is 10-bit color, and why is it so amazing on the GH5?
🤔I answer the question, “Will I switch from the A7Sii to the GH5?”

And you’ll also see tons of gorgeous wedding footage from the coast of Portugal!

No, I Love You More | Oceanside Wedding In Corpus Christi, TX

For Zac and Lindsey, it was their quiet moments that Rachel and I wanted to capture the most. Yes, their wedding had loud dancing (with some crazy moves), and exuberant shouts of joy when they were pronounced husband and wife, but for every one of these moments, there was an equally smaller and more intimate moment that no one saw but us and them.

In lieu of funky dance moves, there were warm embraces in the sunset, and though no one knew except for those closest to them at the time, their pronouncement of marriage included them whispering, “No, I love you more,” back and forth.

These quiet moments are what Rachel and I endeavored to capture on Zac and Lindsey’s wedding day. If you are getting married, whether you are loud and wild, or quieter and intimate (or both!), we would love to talk about filming your wedding. Please get in touch!

How To Film A Wedding Reception

Wedding receptions are one of the most fun parts of a wedding day. The ceremony is behind you, food is being served, and everyone is getting ready to party! But what happens when everything goes wrong? What about when a massive lightning storm rolls through and makes an outdoor reception an indoor? Today you get to see exactly how I filmed a wedding reception that was anything but ideal. In this video I cover:

  • The exact audio gear I use for recording reception toasts
  • Fun techniques I use to pose a couple after their wedding ceremony
  • How I setup my lighting equipment for toasts and dancing
  • Angles for incredible reception exit shots
  • Ways to make your dancing footage look fun!

And you’ll also get all my camera, lens, aperture, and ISO details listed with every shot I use.

How To Film A Wedding Ceremony

One of the questions I'm asked most often is, “Matt! How do you film a wedding ceremony?!”, and today I'm going to answer that question in the most detailed video I've ever made on the subject!. In this video, I cover:

  • Angles I use to make it look like you're capable of time travel and teleportation during a wedding ceremony.
  • How many cameras you'll need to cover everything (it's less than you think)
  • Where I stand to NEVER have photographers get in my shots.
  • Ways to get amazing shots while being unobtrusive (no need to block anyone's view)

And you'll also get all my camera, lens, aperture, and ISO details listed with every shot I use.

I Will Always Use Our Love As My Compass | Bohemian Elopement in Colorado

After spending four days in the mountains of Colorado with Mallory and Clay, we felt more like family than friends. From whitewater rafting in the ice cold San Miguel river, stuffing our faces with cheesy hot dogs (Clay’s family tradition!), off-roading over mountain passes, and celebrating all over the town of Ouray, we know both them and Mallory’s two sons, very well.

When you see their film and hear their story told through their letters and vows, you’ll see how these two were lost until they found each other, how Mallory’s free-spirited nature melded so well with Clay’s adventurous spirit, and how an immeasurable, never-ending love can be formed between two people. You’ll also see Clay giving some of the sweetest vows we’ve ever heard, as a father to Mallory’s sons. Maybe by the end of their film, you’ll feel like family too.

Planning on eloping to Colorado (or anywhere else?) sometime soon? We would love to film it! Please get in touch.
