We hired Editing Life as the videographer for our wedding day and could not be happier that we did! We absolutely love the sneak peak and the preview reel we've received so far and can't wait to see the rest. Matt and his brother Wade were the videographers on the day of and they both did an amazing job. When they arrived, they had already taken some drone footage of the Airbnb where we were getting ready and doing our first look shots at and then they came in and got right to work on taking videos of my dress and other details, and even took my dress outside to get some beautiful shots of it hanging from a tree with the flowers in the background. (Of course he asked first if I was OK with him taking my dress outside). They were super professional the whole time and you can tell they knew exactly what they're doing, but you hardly even knew they were there. They worked great together with our photographer and captured all of our special moments and more while somehow managing to blend into the background. They were also super affordable which is amazing given how much is included in the price and the quality of the videos. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a videographer, you won't be disappointed!
Matt was amazing with helping us through the planning process! We also were in love with the two videographers we had! They were so outgoing, funny, helpful, and still professional! Can’t wait for the videos!!!!
I searched and searched for a videographer that would give us everything we wanted for the price we wanted to pay. Matt & his team was able to provide that. We knew our wedding day would go by fast and we didn’t want to miss a memory. Yes photography is wonderful, but videography is such a wonderful addition. My husband, mom and I met Matt and his wife Julia at a wedding expo. At that point I had already contacted over 5 videographers and wasn’t 100% satisfied with any of them. The packages and quality of work that Matt and his team do is most definitely top notch. The team at Editing Life Videography were able to provide extensive knowledge about their services and what to look for and what to stay away from with other videography businesses.
His wife Julia and dad Mike were the two videographers we had. Julia’s eye for those special detail shots and Mike’s friendly personality made our day great! Mike convinced even our camera shy guests to leave us a video memo. In 7 days from our wedding, we got a sneak peak preview which exceeded our expectations! It was so wonderful to re-live that special day in just less than 30 minutes. We CANNOT wait to see the final product as we know it will be just as wonderful and more!
I could not be happier with our wedding video! If you are on the fence about hiring a videographer, book Editing Life!! The value for your money is incredible. Some moments just call for videography, rather than photography. Julia, our videographer, so effortlessly captured our day and those small moments. Little glances with each other, dancing, hugs with family – all these things look great in photography, but even better on video! Matt and his team are true experts. I loved speaking with Matt during our initial call. I found his honesty and transparency so refreshing in a sea of people trying to “sell you” on their wedding services. His wife, Julia, captured our wedding and we could not have been more impressed. She was so discrete, I hardly noticed her at all! She worked efficiently and was able to flip between the me as the bride and my groom to capture soooo many moments. The “sneak peek” video was worth what we paid for the entire service, in my opinion, and was ready in a matter of days!! So, to receive all the wedding content in addition is just magnificent. Hiring Editing Life should be a no brainer!!! This was some of the best money we spent on our day!!! It is so painfully true that the day goes by in a blink of an eye! I could not recommend enough having Editing Life capture your day so you can relive it over and over 😊
Editing Life Videography is fantastic! They are always on time and professional, and their videos are the best. We got married in our backyard in 2020 with only 2 guests due to covid, and Matt and Julia were able to get us our ceremony video so quickly to share with family and friends. Having the video of our wedding also allowed us to share our special day with our grandmothers before they passed, which we will always cherish. We then got married again in 2022 with a full ceremony and cerebration with family and friends, and of course had them for video coverage again. We got our sneak peek video so quickly and were able to share it with family and friends again. I should also mention that Matt has a drone - which makes for really cool footage of your venue. Editing Life Videography is the best and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for video for their wedding.
We have been so happy with our experience working with Matt thus far. Matt's friendly personality is obvious in all his email communications, so I knew pretty quickly he'd be a great fit for our day. Matt has always been quick to respond to emails, open to requests/seeks your feedback during the editing process, & has been so helpful and accommodating with all that has come with COVID rescheduling. Despite the crazy COVID wedding season, we received our sneak peek video in < 2 weeks! Day of, Matt & Sandy arrived early, were fun to work with, gave good direction/recommendations, and left us forgetting there were cameras on us all day. Packages are more than reasonable & include more features (like drone footage) than you will find anywhere else! We were so pleased with our experience & the high quality audio/video we've seen so far & we can't wait to see the full video!
Matt was our videographer for our wedding and he did an amazing job! My husband and I booked Editing Life Videography in February 2021 for our wedding in October 2021. Matt was so great to work with leading up to the wedding, during it, and after it! He was one of the preferred vendors for our venue so he really knew our venue and the best places to shoot! We are so glad that we went with Matt and his company and recommend him to anyone looking to hire a videographer!!
Matt was our videographer and he was great! We were originally supposed to get married in 2020, but covid.. there was no hassle or charge to move our date and contract to 2021. Day of, he arrived promptly at my parents house where the girls were getting ready and during a monsoon, left my parents house to head to the venue to get setup for footage there. During the ceremony and reception, I hardy noticed he was there, and that’s a great thing! While we were on our honeymoon, I received an email that our sneak peak video was posted- less than a week after the wedding. While just a sneak peak (about 15 minutes long), it was amazing to see what he had done in a short time and I loved being able to look back on our big day so quickly. I can’t wait to see the rest of the video footage, and definitely recommend Matt and Editing Life Videography!
Matt was a great addition to our wedding! He was very helpful throughout the planning AND postponement process! He was always ready to answer any questions we had. Our day of was very stress free from our vendors! Matt made suggestions for us to make the best moves for our video! We received our Sneak Peek just a few days after our wedding, and it is something our families will treasure forever!
Matt and Sandy from Editing Life were phenomenal to work with! They responded to all of my emails in a timely manner, they were professional, kind, and best of all was no one even noticed they were at the wedding! The duo blended in and worked flawlessly with the photographers. Matt even sent me a sneak peak of the video 4 days after the wedding. Couldn't ask for better service!
Editing Life was highly professional and did an excellent job capturing our day. Brandan filmed for us and he was a pleasure to work with. He blended right in and was never in the way. The audio recording of our ceremony and vows is so nice to have and I am very thankful my mom pushed me to book a videographer for my big day! We received our sneak peek less than a week after our wedding and I can't wait to see the full length film!
I can’t say enough good things about editing life videography! They are professional, easy to work with, and great for couples with a budget to stick to! They were super quick getting us our sneak peek video and the footage was absolutely stunning!!!! They are absolutely the best!
My wife and I were very pleased with Editing Life Videography. Brendan and Mike were very professional and put together an excellent video of our wedding. They additionaly provided a short film that we were able to share with our friends and family who were not able to attend.
We weren’t going to select videography but did not want regrets. For the price, this was a sure thing. We weren’t certain how great the footage would turn out. I was wrooong. Our teaser video brought me to tears all over again. Matt was so easy to work with even though we booked last minute and Greg was the best. Will be recommending them to all of my friends.
They were amazing! Great people to work with!! Video quality was amazing!!! Highly recommend!
My husband and I were unsure whether we wanted video coverage of our wedding and I am so glad we decided to hire Editing life. Editing Life is simply the best! Matt was extremely flexible when it came to rescheduling our wedding multiple times due to COVID. Matt was very communicative and quick to respond to my emails and questions. On the day of our wedding, Matt and Julia were amazing to work with. They captured every moment of our special day and you couldn't even tell they were there. We received our sneak peek within a week of our wedding and the highlight and full film within two weeks. We were blown away by the drone footage and attention to small details captured in our video. We absolutely LOVE our videos and can't recommend Editing Life enough!
We reached out to Matt about two months before our Sept 2020 wedding, right as we were making the difficult decision to drastically reduce our invite list for our ceremony and to push our reception out to 2021. He was so responsive, welcoming, and flexible right from the start. We still wanted our friends and family to be able to take part in our day, and Matt and Julia not only flawlessly executed a livestream to allow everyone to join from home but also produced beautiful long and short-format footage that we can't wait to show at our 'sequel wedding' reception this year. The drone footage to set the scene was absolutely fantastic, and their work truly shined especially in the long-format film! We couldn't recommend this team enough!
Very professional and courteous, adapted to a last minute time change with no issues.
Thanks again.
Matt is awesome! Pandemic wedding means the stress is always at the surface. Matt was awesome he was a nice steady presence to have nearby and was so helpful! It's like your friend showed up to help out! The video process was unobtrusive and just saw our sneak peek which looks great!! You can't go wrong with Editing Life!!
We loved working with this vendor!
Super friendly and made our day that much more special!
I loved how the video captured all of the special and important parts of our big day. Brandon was punctual, flexible, and professional. He captured everything we wanted, and he was discreet in his filming. Would recommend & use again!
Oh my goodness- where do I begin? First of all, planning a wedding during a pandemic is no easy task. If there is any silver lining, though, it is that you really see what these vendors are made of. When you have to plan a wedding THREE times, you see just how much patience, flexibility and professionalism is out there, and Editing Life was absolutely incredible.
We were recommended Editing Life by good friends of ours back in 2018, and made the decision to use them based off of Matt's quick communication and excellent work. When we were forced to make many scheduling/location changes, we saw just how great the Beurhauses were.
Before our wedding day even arrived, I was SO impressed by the quick communication, understanding and flexibility of Editing Life. I know that this year has been so tough for wedding vendors, but you would never know because of how great their attitude was during the whole process.
When our wedding day got here, I already felt like I knew Matt and wanted to give him a HUGE hug for all of the help that he had already provided. Like I mentioned before, we had many changes, and he was able to add a live stream and PA system as well for those relatives who weren't able to make it.
The day of the wedding, Matt and Julia were absolutely amazing. They are true wedding professionals and went above and beyond their job descriptions. Julia fixed my dress, Matt fixed the fence at the church, they helped with flowers, I mean they are truly just amazing.
On top of this, we quickly got a sneak peek video that we are absolutely in love with. I really can’t recommend them enough. If you are on the fence, let this be a testament to HIRE THEM NOW.
After our original wedding in Florida was postponed to February due to COVID, my fiancé and I decided we couldn't wait any longer and were going to have a micro ceremony with only our parents at his family home in Maryland. I was totally unfamiliar with the area and did not know any local vendors. My Officiant recommended Matt to me, and I am so happy that he did.
At first, we were imagining this micro-wedding to be simple and were not going to have any photos/videos taken. After taking look at some of the samples of Matt's work, we quickly reconsidered and knew that we had to have him for our small yet special day. From the very start, Matt was amazing. He was patient, listened to my concerns, clearly explained his process and my options, and took the time to listen to our story.
On the day of the wedding, Matt's parents, Sandy and Mike shot the video and were a pleasure to work with. They made us feel relaxed and just like any couple should feel on their wedding day, no matter how small. The videos were turned around and shared with us in no time and immediately brought smiles to our faces and tears of joy to our eyes.
No questions asked, book Editing Life Videography for your next function. You won't regret it!
Matt and Julia were extremely responsive and professional. We felt at ease during the entire process, and could not be happier with the product! We had a very small wedding, and they still managed to capture all of our special moments without having an overly noticeable presence. We both cried when we viewed our our sneak peak video. Highly, highly recommend!
Words can not do justice to the Fantastic Job Done by Matt and his Editinglife crew .From the music selection to the drone flyover video and the Superb editing it was all we could of asked for and then some ! Very Pleased First Class company !!!Rest assured he will be my other daughter’s wedding in the near future!!!
Tom and I highly recommend Editing Life Videography. They made the whole process effortless! They were responsive, kind and professional. Brandan filmed our wedding and we couldn’t be happier with the results. It’s hard to remember all the precious moments on the busy wedding day so the film is something we will cherish forever! Thank you Matt & Brandan!
Matt was very informative and had excellent communication from start to finish. The day of the wedding their experience and compassion showed. We could not be happier with their work, it is amazing! They helped make our day absolutely perfect!
Thank you!
Jessica and Sean
Matt was great to work with! He was very quick on responding back to emails, and really gets to know what you’re looking for. I absolutely love how our wedding video turned out! It captured everything I was looking for and was so creative. Definitely would recommend working with Matt. It would be one less thing you’d have to worry about on your big day, and he captures all details excellently.
Editing Life Videography is absolutely wonderful and I would recommend them to anyone with 100% certainty. Matt Buerhaus was very quick to respond to all of my emails, questions, and comments. He was very nice and professional. On the day of my wedding he was early and from the moment he arrived he was quiet, professional, and perfectly blended in with the events of the night. He quickly got us a sneak peek video (while we were on our honeymoon) and I CAN’T STOP WATCHING IT! It is brilliant work and will be worth every penny of the affordable price! Definitely check out Editing Life Videography. It’s a timeless investment I know I am excited to have in my possession!
Matt and Julia did such a terrific job working with us throughout the planning process and the day of. They were so communicative and quick with responding to my emails and questions. They took the stress out of the process.
They were awesome, I would differently use them again if I needed a video done, I e-mailed them several times before my daughter and son in laws wedding with many questions, would respond back immediately. Mrs. Buerhaus showed up at the wedding worked well with the photographer and I hardly knew she was there. You will not be sorry if you select "Editing Life Videography".
Matt and his family were great to work with! We spoke with Matt before signing and he was really great with explaining their processes and really convinced us that it was worth it to add a videographer to our budget! I'm so glad that we did as he was able to capture additional moments that pictures did not. Matt's dad and wife were there filming the day of and gave us plenty of footage and memories!
Matt Buerhaus and the rest of his team were a great choice for our wedding. We worked with Matt for all the planning prior to the wedding and for the editing after the wedding. On the day of, he sent his parents, Mike and Sandy, to shoot the wedding at the Naval Academy. They were both very kind and helpful and we hardly even knew they were there! Somehow, they stayed completely out of the way but still got all the perfect shots. They were very familiar with the rules at the Naval Academy, and you could tell they were very experienced. They captured so many wonderful moments of our day and it has been so much fun to look back on! We received a sneak peak just days after the wedding, and Matt was also able to provide us with some special footage of a funny and memorable moment during our ceremony. The whole team was great to work with - very responsive, friendly, and helpful in all aspects. We couldn’t have made a better choice!
My husband and I were so happy that we chose Buerhaus Design Video for our wedding videography. The planning process with Matt was really easy, the price was very reasonable, and Mike and Sandy did a fantastic job capturing all of our wedding day memories! They were very professional and we hardly knew they were there during the ceremony and reception. They helped to make things run very smoothly throughout our entire wedding day, and the final video that Matt created for us is even better than we had hoped for! Getting a video of our wedding day was an extra expense, but 100% worth it! We can now share our wedding day memories with friends and family in a way that pictures do not always capture. We highly Buerhaus Design Video for your wedding day videography. Thank you Matt, Mike, and Sandy!
Matt was our videographer for our wedding 9/21 and from the sneak peak it looks like him and his wife did a fantastic job at capturing our special moments. I really loved how the camera zoomed in on me and my dad's face during an emotional moment during the father-daughter dance. The quality of the film is movie like and clear. Exactly what I was hoping for. Matt is also SUPER quick at returning emails and phone calls which was so refreshing. I cant rave enough about Matt! He and his wife are so great. I would absolutely recommend them.
A videographer was the last wedding vendor that I researched, because at first I thought I would be fine with just having a photographer for my wedding. But after further consideration, I realized how invaluable it would be to actually be able to re-live my wedding day by hearing the sounds of it on a video, and so began my search for a videographer. I actually met with a few different videographers, but was not all that impressed with their work from what I had seen on their website. We were looking for someone who would provide us with an edited video, but who would not cut out important things and just set the entire video to music selections. We wanted to actually hear the song playing for our first dance, and the voices of our MOH and Best Man delivering their toasts, and not have the entire video set to music. And so my search for this landed me upon Matt Buerhaus. We emailed back and forth a few times and then set up an initial consultation. Right from the start, I could tell that videography was a true passion of Matt's. We decided to book him as our vendor about a week later, after the holidays. In the time that had elapsed from my initial contact with Matt to when we officially booked him, I noted that his package prices changed on his website. He had been having a fall sale when I first researched his company, but the sale was no longer in effect. I inquired about this, and Matt very willingly honored the sale price for us, which I thought was very professional of him. We didn't need to speak with Matt much until closer to the actual wedding, at which time we filled out his planning worksheet with details about the wedding and also our editing preferences and then submitted it, and that was it! Matt showed up earlier than our contracted start time on the day of the wedding and took some video of my bridesmaids and I as well as my husband and his groomsmen getting ready before the ceremony. We opted for a 2-videographer package just before the wedding as well as a copy of all of the raw footage. I can honestly say that Matt and his assistant did a wonderful job of blending in with the crowd at the reception and even at the ceremony actually, because I have to admit that I don't recall seeing much of him! He definitely did not interfere with any candid moments of the wedding, and I can just recall him circling the dance floor with his camera elevated on a pole to capture all of my friends' amazing dance moves (haha!) but completely unobtrusively, which was wonderful. Within like 48 hours of my wedding, Matt posted a "First Look" video on his website, which is our entire first dance. It was so awesome to get that sneak peek while we were on our honeymoon, and only makes me more excited to see the video in its entirety!! I am so thankful that I decided to book a videographer, and am so happy that I chose such a wonderful company to use for my wedding! For any bride who is on the fence about whether to book a videographer or not, I would wholeheartedly say Do it!! You get something from the video that photographs just can't transmit.
I found Matt through Weddingwire and I was very impressive with his website and great reviews. We found out right after that one of our best friends had Matt videographing their wedding and they HIGHLY reccommended him. I had no doubts that he would be the best after exchanging few e-mails with him and watching few of his samples.
Matt was always VERY responsive and super helpful. I had so many questions, requests and he was always the sweetest person! It was really a pleasure to work with him. He did an amazing photo montage, exactly how we wanted and I did not even need to tell him “much”. He was so patient dealing with so many Brazilian girls (bridesmaids – some did not speak a word in English) during our getting ready. I loved our “highlights” and was already crying watching it. He was able even on the highlights to use all the special moments. Watching our wedding video I am almost speechless. It is just PERFECT! He was able to capture every single moment, all the details! He did an AMAZING job. I cried from the beginning to the end and was impressed with all the details he was able to capture. My husband, who did not want a videographer is so grateful and also loved watching our special day. I am VERY grateful to have found Matt. We could not be happier! Matt is awesome, generous, extremely informative and helpful, very talented and pay really attention to the details.
Brides, PLEASE have a videographer on your big day! It is so special and priceless to be able to see all you can’t on the day of your wedding. And if you want peace of mind and an amazing wedding video, go with Matt Buerhaus. Thanks Matt forever for all you did!
Matt was awesome to work with! He came highly recommended from our photographer, Larry Huffman. We knew that we wanted Matt for our special day once we saw his work online and metting him in person. We are looking forward to watching our special memories for years to come!
Matt was a great videographer. He kept my husband cool, literally and figuratively, while he waited at the church and it was 115 degrees outside. He is easy to contact and willing to answer all questions. Matt really loves what he does and I can't wait to relive our big day!
Matt is so easy to work with and to get a hold of. After many questions we decided to hire them. Although we are still waiting on our video (it's only been a month), he has been very active in communicating with us. We are very excited to see the final product!!! :)
I absolutely loved EVERYTHING about Matt! He was AWESOME! Very accomodating & personable! We even had him redo my sisters wedding video from the raw footage.
Oh my god, he was the BEST. Our video is fantastic and looks like a movie, I watch it every 6 mos. I can't say enough great things about him.;Book early, he is popular.
Unobtrusive, video turned out really good.
He provides such a good product and is so inconspicuous I had no idea he was even there. I LOVE the video!
he was just all round great! punctula, courteous, professional, unobtrusive
