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!
