At Paul Matthew Media, we believe your wedding film should feel like your story — not just a highlight reel. Our films are cinematic, emotionally rich, and intentionally crafted to capture the essence of your relationship, your wedding, and every moment in between. We focus on storytelling that feels real: the small glances, the loud laughs, the soft vows — all woven into a visual experience that’s as warm and authentic as your day felt.
Since 2018, we’ve filmed several dozen weddings across Michigan and beyond, specializing in outdoor celebrations, golden hour vibes, and couples who bring a little wild energy and a lot of heart. Whether your day is filled with sentimental moments or high-energy dance floors, we bring it all together in a way that feels like a movie — one that you’ll want to watch over and over again.
What sets us apart is that we’re a team of passionate filmmakers dedicated to creating something unforgettable. We go beyond beautiful visuals to understand your vision, connect with you, and craft a film that reflects the unique emotion, energy, and experience of your wedding. From the first call to the final delivery, our goal is to make you feel comfortable, seen, and celebrated.
Paul Matthew Media is an experienced wedding videography business based in Grand Rapids, MI.

- Paul MatthewCreative DirectorI started filming weddings in 2018 because I fell in love with telling real love stories — cinematic, emotional, and personal. What I enjoy most is seeing couples react to their film with joy and excitement. My style is authentic and unobtrusive. I focus on emotion, storytelling, and the little moments that make your day unique — especially those dreamy sunset shots. I’m not here to capture just the “safe” stuff — I’m here to tell your story. Based in Grand Rapids, I lead a talented team of filmmakers and editors, ensuring every film reflects the beauty and emotion of your wedding. Couples often tell me they barely notice we're there — and that’s the goal.
- Troy MeekhofVideographer2025 marks my 9th year filming weddings, and I still get just as excited as I did on day one — especially during speeches. From hilarious roasts to heartfelt moments, they’re my favorite part of the day (and yes, I’ve had to fight to keep the camera steady through the laughs). Couples often tell me they love how much energy I bring during their portraits. I’m not shy with compliments or excitement — if you’re glowing, I’ll let you know! When I’m not filming, I’m probably on the road. Road-tripping is my hobby, and I log anywhere from 20,000 to 35,000 miles a year across the Midwest and beyond — always chasing good stories and great light.
- Bradley MansourVideographer2025 marks a special milestone—over 100 weddings filmed in my 13-year journey capturing love stories. My path into weddings began in 2012 as a photo assistant to a luxury wedding photographer in Metro Detroit. After a brief break during college, I returned to weddings in 2019, this time behind the video lens—and I’ve never looked back. My favorite moment to capture? That emotional first look—whether it’s down the aisle or before the ceremony, I’m always ready to preserve the magic of that once-in-a-lifetime exchange. Couples often say they appreciate how I guide them with ease, offering gentle direction that keeps everything feeling natural and relaxed. Fellow vendors know me as someone who pitches in wherever needed—when my camera’s not rolling, I’m tying ties, moving chairs, or helping the day run smoother (ask me about my record for tying groomsmen’s neckties!). When I’m not filming weddings, I’m likely hiking a local nature trail in Grand Rapids with my mini Bernedoodle, Koda, or trying out a new recipe in the kitchen. I look forward to capturing your memorable day!

So… you think adding a videographer isn't worth it? Just another expense?
Wrong. Period. Especially with Paul.
Here's why:
-He's a natural and enjoys what he does:
Paul and I...
met at Swing Dancing in Grand Rapids mannnnny years ago, and when I heard he was venturing out into Videopgraphy. I saw an example of his work--and immediately knew this was going to take off and that he had found his calling. I wasn't even engaged yet, and I knew I found my videographer, didn't even look at any other company or videographer--true story.
-What he's like:
Throughout our process, Paul was an incredible listener to our needs and even more to our wants. His pricing fit our budget perfectly, and even if it didn't--Oh I would make sure it would lol. He's worth it.
-Day of:
He showed up early, making sure he captured all the detail shots, and during the ceremony and reception is where his energy really shined! He captured the *ENERGY* of all our dancing, and even joined in on the dance floor--which was a personal highlight for me on the day. He got all the speeches, and the edits were incredible to make it all flow.
-Following the Wedding:
48HR SNEAK PEAK??? UM WHAT?!?!?! This was SO much fun to revel in the day and keep our wedding vibes going. AHHH!!! :D (honestly it might have been sooner, but I probably didn't notice it in my email)
-Two hiccups and how Paul fixed them:
1.) My dad had flubbed his Father of the Bride Speech hard. He still regrets it. I came to Paul with my dad's regret, and Paul sweetly had offered to record my dad giving a speech separately (I'll be honest, if there was an additional cost, I didn't know about it, as my dad agreed to pay anything additional like this for messing up.). My dad had met with Paul on another day, and Paul even included this recording in our final package / page--it was like a full 15 minutes, I was so surprised, and I know this additional recording will be an incredibly precious time capsule for me when my dad leaves this earth. So if you have any flubs, speech mistakes--Paul will absolutely help and see what he can do. <3
2.) I feel bad about this one, as I'll be the first to admit I felt like the anxious bride who didn't know what she wanted. The editing on the video (I think it was the song choice or something) I wasn't fully satisfied with, but I was afraid to say anything (again, totally a me thing, as Paul is super approachable). After breaking down and crying, ashamed I didn't want to bring it up--I finally did. Paul IMEDIATLEY went over options until I was satisfied, explaining that it was my day, and it was his job to make sure I was 110% happy. He was no less than professional, but also so kind and understanding that hey, sometimes we really don't know what we want, but it's his job to help find it. I felt better, and the video of me and my husband's wedding day? Hell Yeah.
TLDR?
-Get a videographer.
Sorry, let me say it again:
*Specifically* book Paul and his team's talents.
You won't regret it. <3

dding, he scheduled an in-depth call with us to learn about our vision, priorities, and the special moments we wanted to highlight. His attention to detail and creative eye truly set him apart. Paul offers packages including drone footage and a one-minute recap video delivered within 24 hours — which was such a fun way to relive our day right away! His ability to capture both the big moments and the small, heartfelt details was amazing. We couldn’t be happier with how beautifully he preserved our memories, and we highly recommend Paul Matthew Media to anyone looking for a talented videographer!
