Never enough I can say about Courtney & Balin. Just two quality human beings....with great taste in music I might add. Enjoyed every minute of this amazing wedding at the Curtis Arboretum in Wyncote, PA. From the decor, to Courtney's Dad's little Sweet Child o' Mine toast which was amazing, to the food to the phenomenal @ryantennismusic band who totally burned the place down! Thank you guys so much for including me in this stellar day!!

I believe there's a great deal of individuality in every couple, therefore, I hinge on getting to know you the best I can! From first inquiries through final deliveries, all I do is custom tailored to ensure that your entire Jason Matthew Films experience is one that emulates my motto of "Personal Cinema." I take the time getting to know my clients through a series of questionnaires, Zoom dates, phone calls, brunches - whatever the distance allows - so that by the time my cameras roll, we have established a comfortable relationship that allows for natural reactions in front of the camera. I can assure that your films will be unique and different from any other. I only commit to a handful of weddings each year so I can deliver my absolute best work for you. By now, I’ve made friends behind the lens with so many wonderful people. I hope you'll be my newest members!
