We were originally not interested in hiring a videographer until our fabulous wedding coordinator, Alison Wenstrup from Aviva Events recommended contacting Lifetime Film. My mom and I were in tears watching the videos on the website! We immediately contacted Matt at Lifetime to see if it was something we could fit into our budget. My husband and I have several friends who have no interest in watching their low-quality wedding video, but we have already watched ours several times! I shed a few tears every time we watch it. The wedding felt like an out of body experience to me, and it was so great to relive the feelings of the day when we watched out video.Matt and his team are AMAZING. They captured emotions and memories that photographs cannot, and their quality of service is outstanding. I have recommended Lifetime to all my bride-to-be friends. Contact Lifetime to film your wedding... you will be SO grateful!

Hiring Matt was one of the best decisions I could have made for our wedding! He was great to work with and very professional! He was able to capture on film what pictures couldn't. I was very surprised how little I noticed Matt and the other videographers while they were filming. They weren't intrusive but still were able to catch all he perfect shots. I would recommend Lifetime Films to anyone!!

Hiring Matt was a last minute decision, after seeing his trailer from a friend's wedding. It was also a decision we will forever be grateful we made. The entire wedding and all the vendors did their VERY BEST! Robyn at the Netherland Hilton, Folchi's, Jeffrey Greene w/ Benkin's Flowers..he was also the Day of Coordinator...made everything flow. Mark McFadden kept everyone dancing, the other musicians were exceptional too. The cheesecake...perfect! And the wedding dress from European Bridal...stunning. Thanks to Jean and Jen for making us look good! We had the most amazing wedding, thank goodness we picked Chad Moon for photography and Matt Pine for video to keep the day alive forever! Do yourself the biggest favor and have Matt make Your Wedding Movie!

I cannot say enough about Matt Pine and Lifetime Films! My husband and I did not originally include a videographer in our wedding budget; however, after seeing the trailer from a friend's wedding (3 months before our big day) I decided I had to have Matt. Fortunately, he was still available so we booked him. It was one of the best decisions! Matt did such an amazing job. I was afraid that having a videographer would fell intrusive, but Matt had three videographers at our wedding and there was absolutely no sense of intrusiveness! The whole day felt so surreal and many parts I didn't remember, but Matt caught all of it on video so I can forever remember my wedding day (and also see the things I missed)!The planning process was so easy and he worked very well with us. It was such a pleasure to work with Matt! I would highly recommend Matt and Lifetime to anyone looking for a wedding videographer (and even those who like me, didn't think they need a videographer)!

My wife and I were absolutely satisfied with Matt and his staff at the wedding and were more than satisfied with the finished product. He and his staff are full professionals and have captured one of the most memorable events in our lives to it's fullest capacity. Hey, I'm a guy and even I looked forward to watching the wedding DVD when it got to us in it's special case. Proof is in his work. You get one chance to capture the day, moment, and event. Go with a professional and put the worry out of your minds. Cheers!!

My husband and I were somewhat unsure if we wanted a videographer during the early stages of the wedding planning process. I decided to to ahead and meet with a couple of them just to see what they offer. When I met with Matt from Lifetime, I was in absolute awe of his talent. He showed us a short clip from a wedding video he had produced, and despite not knowing the bride or groom, it brought us to tears. It was then that I knew I had to hire Lifetime to capture our day. And let me tell you...I was not disappointed. Matt and the entire Lifetime team was so professional, fun, and easy to work with both during the planning process and the wedding day. And most of all, they created a masterpiece that we will cherish forever. I cannot begin to tell you how happy we are with our decision to use Lifetime as our videographer. They truely are an amazing and rare talent.

I have used Lifetime Films twice, my son's wedding in January 2008 & my daughter's in November 2009 & I am so happy that I did. The video for each wedding was fantastic! Matt captures so much at the wedding & reception, moments that are so happy, funny & poignant. The editing that they do makes for a unique & memorable wedding video. Matt goes out of his way to be sure that the video is exactly what you want & that you are happy with it; he is very easy to work with. I highly recommend Matt Pine & Lifetime Films. After planning 2 weddings, attending many bridal shows, etc. I haven't seen anyone that compares to Matt & Lifetime Films & their excellent videos & service.

Using a videographer was never a thought for us, but we are sooooo glad that we changed our minds! Matt w/ Lifetime made us feel like we were the ONLY people in the world he was taking care of. He made sure we never felt like we were being pressured, always kept in touch throughout the planning process, and went above (way above!) and beyond to make us happy. I have never seen such dedication from a vendor in my life. Matt became more than just a vendor to us; he is now a friend. We are so thrilled that we chose to use him and will always recommend him to anyone. Definitely consider Lifetime because you will not regret your choice!

Choosing Matt Pine and Lifetime Films was one of the best decisions we could have made for our wedding. They created a MASTERPIECE for our wedding video and everyone who has watched it has laughed and cried. And all of our friends and family who have already had weddings say they wish their wedding video was of this quality. If you are considering a videographer...Lifetime Films are the ones that you want doing your video. In addition, you may actually get some tears out of your husband like I did.

Working with Lifetime was the best choice I made while planning my September wedding. They were super fun and creative..and the film they created for us was absolutely perfect. They truly captured the spirit of our big day...something that is not always easy to do!

The first time my husband and I watched a video by Lifetime we knew we had to book them for our wedding. Lifetime has been so great to work with and we cannot thank them enough for giving us an everlasting memory of our wedding day. I would recommend Lifetime to every bride and groom, they are awesome!! Our video is everything we wanted and more! I love that I can watch my video and not only relive the entire day, but also every emotion. Matt and his team are professional, great to work with, and in my opinion the best in the business. If you are planning a wedding you should seriously consider Lifetime. If for some reason you are not sold, just watch a few videos on their blog and I promise you will fall in love with their work. Thank you Lifetime!!!!!!Claire and Brad

Hiring a videographer was not originally part of our budget. Many of our family friends had used Lifetime and we loved their work, but when it came to where we could cut costs, videographer was one of those cuts. The week OF our wedding, my mom surprised me and called Matt Pine on a whim to see if they were still available for Saturday. Well they were, and the rest is history. From the moment we spoke on the phone, to working with Matt the entire day of our wedding, I had so much fun working with him! More than our photographers or any of the other wedding vendors, he made us truly feel like this was our special day. In the end, we ended up being very disappointed in our wedding photographer, and couldn't imagine if we didn't have a movie to watch, because there were so many moments that our photographer missed. We continue to say, that hiring Lifetime Films was an instance of where "everything happens for a reason." When my mom watched the dvd, her comment through her tears was simply "best decision we ever made." Sums it up right there. You simply cannot put a price on the memories a Lifetime Film will give you of your wedding day!

Video was a last-minute addition to our wedding plans ... about 2 weeks before the wedding. We were so lucky that Dan from Lifetime was available to film on such short notice! Between photographers and videographers I was worried about having too many cameras around, but I never even noticed Dan and his partner during the day. When we did interact, they were professional and fun. Matt Pine stayed in touch in the weeks of production and sent along a few "teaser" highlights to keep us satisfied during the wait. We just got our finished film, and we LOVE it. The Lifetime team did a fabulous job consolidating a day's worth of activity emotion into one hour -- it really captures the essence of our day. We even through a curve ball by asking them to incorporate some unusual music, and they did a great job. We definitely recommend the Lifetime Films crew!

I can't tell you how happy my husband I are that we used Lifetime Films. Originally, we were not going to hire a videographer. The entire day of our wedding I kept thinking to myself how glad I was that we did hire Lifetime Films so that I could relive the day again. Matt and Dan were wonderful to work with. I was so impressed with their kindness, their obvious passion for what they do, and (best of all) the finished product. While watching our video, my husband and I kept commenting how we never even knew the cameras were there during those little moments that were included. Lifetime Films was so worth it - I highly, highly recommend them!

Matt and his team were wonderful to work with. My husband and I got married on August 8, 2009. When we began planning our wedding over a year ago, we decided against hiring a videographer because we thought that photographs would be enough to capture the memories of our special day. But, at the very last minute (as in a few weeks before our big day), we decided to get a videographer. Fortunately for us, Matt was able to help us out and we couldn't be happier with our special wedding video. From beginning to end, Matt was professional, easy-going, and creative. He is an expert at his craft. My husband and I get to relive our wedding day whenever we want to. I got to see the look on his face as he first glanced at me walking down the aisle. I got to see my first dance with him, as well as my father/daughter and mother/daughter dances. So much that was a blur in the excitement of the day was captured on film. I recommend Matt and his team to capture your special moments. You won?t regret it!Kim Hubley

Words can't describe how much we love the wedding video that Lifetime Films designed for us. The crew captured the most meaningful aspects of our wedding day and the emotion that was displayed. The crew put us at ease all day and fit in well with the wedding party. We have many favorite parts of the wedding film.... one being our first dance. Lifetime Films played our wedding song and showed us slow dancing, but then showed flashbacks of little clips of the entire day and it was absolutely perfect! My other favorite clips include the beginning of the wedding day when all of the accessories are focused on around my house as I'm getting ready, me looking into my parents' wedding picture, my groom's reaction when I was walking down the aisle, the surprise on my face when my parents surprised me with a horse and carriage, the father-daughter dance and the slideshow of pictures from our lives. Matt Pine was and still is wonderful with communication. He is very quick to respond and to get the film created. The small clips of videos that he posted on FaceBook got me through the waiting period for my wedidng film to be finished. My three siblings will be using his company when they get married, that's how good he is!

I am writing to all of the parents of their engaged children. My daughter chose her own videographer as that was an expense we did not beleive was a necessity to make her dream day come true. When she asked me to go to the other side of the city to interview a videographer on a snowy night in January, I was less than enthusuastic. I cannot tell you how unbelieveablly impressed we were with Matt's presentation, professionalism, and personality. Our video has to be worn thin as we play it for everyone that walks through our door. The treasured memories he captured throughout our special day are right at our fingertips any time we want them. Skeptics had told us that we would watch this video once and file it away. Nothing could be farther from the truth. We pop it in whenever we want to feel close to our daughter who moved far away and she does the same when she misses her family. The finished product was so beautiful. I want everyone to see what he did with our wedding. It is so amazing. The whole team was like part of our family for that one special day. They fit in with the wedding party and created incredible images. The video was the best inestment of our entire wedding. What Matt provided to us forever was so worth the money. I never thought I would be looking so forward to another one of my children getting married, but that is what Life Time Films has done for us. One child down, three to go. Thanks Lifetime Films

Matt and Dan, After working with you several times over the past couple years, I knew when it was time to plan my wedding you both had to be a part of it. I’ve always enjoyed working with you and knew the professional service you give is unbeatable. I’ve seen many examples of your work and knew exactly what to expect. Well, at least that’s what I thought! Our wedding video turned out better than I could have imagined! We’ve received so many compliments on your work from our friends and family. And yes, you made my mom cry. Thank you so much for our video! We will cherish it always. Fondly, Robyn Adinamis

We had not considered using a videographer for our wedding, until we realized that my Dad was not going to be able to attend, due to a serious illness. I contacted Matt just a few days before the wedding, and he rearranged his team's schedule to help me, so that I would have something to share with my Dad once he recovered. The video is beautiful, and happily, almost 8 months after our wedding my Dad was able to view it. I cannot express my gratitude for being able to share these memories with someone so dear to me.Thank you Matt and team for making a significant difference for our family!

Some people believe that hiring a videographer is unnecessary and that pictures alone will suffice for memories. In my case, without Lifetime Films, I would never have been able to capture the reaction on my husband's face as I walked down the aisle (most of which I missed on the day of because I couldn't see him fully as I was walking down the aisle). Matt Pine did a fantastic job of focusing on my husband to fully capture that once in a lifetime moment. Now, I can watch and relive that moment through our wedding video; I would never have that if I had not booked Lifetime Films. I knew immediately that I wanted to book Lifetime Films when I first met with Matt. My mother and I were blown away by his professionalism and his artistic vision. The day of my wedding Matt was completely professional and managed to be in places that I didn't even know he was until we received our final product. Our final wedding product truly captures the emotion and the mood of our wedding day and of our personalities as a couple. I could sit and watch it over and over again (and I have!). Lifetime Films went above and beyond my expectations, and I am very happy that we chose them. Booking Lifetime Films is a decision not to be regretted!-Lori and RobJuly 18, 2009
