Matthew Thomas Media was better than we could’ve imagined! From the moment we met him on a Zoom call we knew that he was the perfect videographer for a wedding. Prior to the wedding, he made us feel super comfortable by meeting on a video call more than once to discuss logistics and details about the day and what we wanted to have captured. He helped me have my dream of having a drone capture a moment of our wedding come true! The day of our wedding they were punctual and helped Andrew and I feel at ease. They captured everything that we could’ve wanted and were flexible when we asked for a different or extra shot of something. Matt has been incredible with communicating about the video and the details. He has wanted to make it be as perfect as possible for us which is one of the many reasons why I could not more highly recommend Matthew Thomas Media for anyone getting married and looking for a videographer!
Matthew Thomas Media was all that we could have asked for and then some in a wedding videographer. Matt and his team were on time, easy to communicate with, and worked their butts off capturing all the moments of our big day. There were so many times I would see Matt running around to make sure he was right in the middle of everything, because he knew how important certain moments were to us. He made us laugh with ease and felt like a friend by the end of our wedding. We cannot recommend him and his team enough if you are looking for a stellar videographer.
They were truly amazing! I can't say enough about how everyone loved our videos and complimented on the quality of them! They responded back VERY quickly to every and any question I had, and they really helped make the wedding day go a lot smoother than I could have imagined!
Any questions?
Matt was an absolute gem as our wedding videographer on October 21st in Milwaukee. His attention to detail and passion for his craft were evident from our first meeting. Throughout the process, he was not only attentive but also responsive, ensuring that he understood our vision for the video and offering valuable suggestions to enhance our day.
What truly set Matt apart was his professionalism and warmth made him an absolute pleasure to work with. He made it a priority to establish a genuine connection with us, ensuring that we felt comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process. His passion for his craft was infectious, and it was evident that he poured his heart and soul into every frame he captured.
In the end, the wedding video that Matt created surpassed our wildest dreams. It was more than just a compilation of footage; it was a work of art that beautifully captured the emotions, love, and joy of our special day. We are forever grateful to Matt for his dedication, talent, and unwavering commitment to creating something truly magical. He is not just a videographer but a storyteller who has immortalized the most beautiful moments of our lives in the most breathtaking way possible.
Matt didn't just create a video; he crafted a beautiful narrative of our love story!
Matt was the absolute best to work with!! He captured our day so perfectly! We have been watching our videos on repeat ever since we got them! I can’t thank Matt enough for all he did to give us the greatest gift - a beautiful way to relive the best day!

Thank you, Alexa! I am so happy to hear that you and Aaron and all your family have enjoyed watching your wedding videos - over and over again:)
I HIGHLY recommend Matthew Thomas Media to capture all of your special moments for your big day. He listened to all of my requirements and must have shots. He was extremely thorough and our video was beautifully put together. He was EXTREMELY prompt with answering questions. He was professional, knowledgeable, and very easy to work with. We’ve received numerous compliments on our wedding video. We were going back and forth on deciding to get a videographer but I’m so grateful we did because your day goes by so fast and it was beautiful to sit down and watch it with the ones you love. It’s a beautiful keepsake and I’m so glad we had Matthew Thomas Media there to capture it all.

It was such a pleasure working with you and Brandon! You both knew exactly what you wanted filmed during your special day and we are so happy that we were able to capture your “must have shots”!
Matthew was the perfect videographer for our wedding from start to finish. He communicated early and asked all the right questions we didn’t even know needed to be asked in our first meeting and followed up with anything he thought necessary for a successful day. On the day of, he struck the perfect balance of capturing everything we wanted in the day while never getting in the way and kept us on time when we lost track. His video incorporated music that captured the vibe we wanted while throwing in live audio and showed the sweet, happy, and funny moments of the whole day. Overall amazing experience and would recommend to anyone!

You and Tiffany had such a unique and wonderful wedding - I am glad that the music we selected for your Deluxe Highlight captured the vibes of your day!
Matt was so easy to work with! He communicated before hand about the process and what things in particular would help us make a beautiful lasting memory. He also worked really well with our other vendors to make sure all things were covered!

o come!
Choosing to work with Matt for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! He was incredible to work with from start to finish. We had a few calls before our wedding to talk through the plan for the day and to brainstorm ideas for the videography. He had amazing suggestions we ended up integrating into our day. Matt is fun and thoughtful and a great presence to have with us throughout our day! He also worked so collaboratively with our photographer to make sure they could each get the shots they needed.
We just received our Deluxe Highlight video and it is incredible! From the quality of the videography and editing, to the moments he selected, the amazing perspective he captured, the speech voiceovers he chose, and the background music he used, we couldn't have imagined anything better.
We also so appreciated the sneak peek video Matt sent a week after our wedding! Finally, the ceremony keepsake video is also amazing to have, as we've been able to look back on memorable parts of the ceremony.

I can't say enough about how much we loved working with Matt and his team. They beautifully captured our day - making sure all of the special moments were included in our final wedding video. Furthermore, they were meticulous about sound and lighting quality, which made the video's quality truly exceptional. I would encourage any bride and groom to hire them - you will not regret it. We are so happy to have this special keepsake to look back on. Thank you again Matt!!

ur heartfelt comments and enthusiastic recommendation!
Matthew was great to work with from start to finish. He was patient, flexible, and lots of fun. He and his team worked flawlessly with our other vendors to make for an awesome day. We love what he and his team captured and we are grateful we were able to work with him.
Matthew knocks it out of the park. I just received my sneak peek and he had me on the edge my seat wondering what happens next, and I’m the bride! Wedding day Matt was kind and fun. He took us aside one by one to go over vows and I immediately felt comfortable with him. He felt like family and for as much as he’s around you, that’s a good feeling to have! Every special moment Matt and his team was there capturing it, without being invasive or in the way. While getting ready he suggested fun poses and ideas! He even made the groomsmen laugh. Matt stayed for our whole wedding capturing the emotional raw moments, the silly moments, the fun moments but most importantly the love shared with everyone in that room. Matthew Thomas media is the team for your special event as he makes the whole day so special.

I’m so happy that we added to your enjoyment of an already wonderful day! Working with you couldn’t have felt more natural - we had so much fun being a part of your special day!
We could not have asked for a better videographer experience for our wedding than Matthew Thomas Media! Matthew went above and beyond to capture our vision of our day! He was a pleasure to work with, and did a great job working with our family, friends, and guests. He captured tons of amazing footage during our wedding day, while also giving my husband and I space to enjoy special moments throughout the day. The videos we received back could not have been better!! Matthew Thomas Media far exceeded our expectations and we will treasure our wedding videos forever. We are so proud to show them off to family and friends. Cannot recommend enough!!
We met Matthew because he did my sisters wedding and we knew already that he did amazing work. When we asked him to be our videographer he immediately put us at ease with his down to earth personality and was very personable. He was a great communicator and we felt stress free when it came to the big day. Matthew offers more to the shoot than your typical videographer. He makes you feel special and relaxed. The day ran so smoothly with no hiccups. The quality of his work is stunning from every angle and he captured our day PERFECTLY. We have received SO many compliments for our wedding video from friends and family. We are so lucky that we got to work with Matthew. We will treasure our wedding video forever! Thank you Matthew Thomas Media.
I found Matt just by searching (on Facebook) “videographers near me”. My husband and I decided to get married within 3 months of getting engaged and didn’t decide that until almost a month had passed. We were SCRAMBLING to throw everything together and Matt made me feel like I wasn’t scrambling. He made the whole videographer experience SO easy. Communication was awesome, I had his phone number and never felt like I was bothering him with a late night question. Even with my ADHD absentmindedness he was always there with quick answers and follow up. We went with his Premium Package and received our sneak peek just days after the wedding. We were so enthralled with the results of that video and were looking forward to seeing our whole video eagerly. Matt captured every intimate moment of our day and brought out who we are so well and I cannot imagine having gone with someone else. The way he used the voice over of our vows to fit the clips from each part of the video was just incredible. I cannot recommend Matt anymore than 5 stars, but would if I could! If we ever have use for a videographer again, I will definitely be texting Matt to make sure he is available. Thank you, Matt, we are so thankful for you!

He was fun and professional and made you feel totally comfortable throughout the entire process.

Thanks so much, Kristin! Despite a few raindrops, your wedding day was absolutely glorious, filled with love, laughter, happiness, and touching remembrance. It is said that rain on a wedding day brings good luck – but you and Frank have no need...
for luck: you have each other!
It's difficult to explain the gratitude and emotions that are evoked every time I watch the video Matt created of our wedding. My husband and I had wanted a small and simple wedding and when asked about having a videographer, my immediate response was no. It seemed to add a level of complication that I wasn't interested in managing. But the reality is that there were no added complications to having Matt join our team of wedding vendors and what he created for us still makes me cry two years later. Matt was able to capture our most intimate moments in a way that the photographers weren't. He captured the true essence of our wedding day without asking us to move or pose for him but instead captured the day as it unfolded, displaying all of the love and joy that filled it. Matt documented our day in the most beautiful way, giving us the most precious gift we didn't even know we wanted.

ften think of you and Steve and her words to you on your wedding day:)
When we got engaged I knew right away I wanted a video. I knew I’d look back on it every year. Five years later and that stands true. I always love to watch it. Matt was amazing to work with. He was more than accommodating and went above and beyond for us. He has done a Love Story for us, a highlight and a full wedding video. I have also seen his other work with a music video and a commercial just to name a couple. You will not regret hiring Matthew Thomas Media for your special day. Hands down the best videos I’ve seen.

Always looking for my next adventure or story to tell! Music has always been close to my heart so I always let it guide me in my cinematic productions. When I'm not behind the camera - or in the editing studio - I love to find tranquility and inspiration outdoors - hiking, mountain biking, paddling and camping.
