hey Johnson Thnk u So much! ❤ From Pakistan

[@mattisland]

Hey Matt, I don't know if I'm having some weird Dejavu but I swear I've seen this video before. Is this a reupload?

[@whoismatt]

thanks Shakeel!

[@whoismatt]

Hey Matt! You probably are, some pieces of this video were in my "How to film a wedding trailer" video from several months ago. This is just the full version of that video.

[@mattisland]

Thanks for the clarity, massive inspiration mate. Keep doing what you're doing, appreciate all your hard work!

[@justinezapata8556]

You the best Matt! Love it! Part 5? Part 5: How i edit Wedding Videos

[@AXPorto]

Justine Zapata I agree would be great

[@shaloop007]

Please. Yes, please! :)

[@SoCalAeroViews]

Yeah buddy!

[@whoismatt]

+Justine Zapata thanks Justine! Planning on covering that in the future for sure!

[@AsherSmithFilms]

Do it!

[@MartenKaehlert]

Thanks so much for these giant 4 part behind the scenes. I learned so much from you in the last 4 hours (including your audio guides and lots of other stuff from you). I record my first wedding film in around a month (after my own wedding in one week, that a buddy filmed for me, so that I can edit it by myself) and there are so many things that I didn't know how to do.... And you only have one attempt in some situations and I have not the time to test all things on the wedding day:-). Now, I know most of these things and only need to learn how to use this knowledge. Another big deal, but the first big step is gone. BIG THANKS FOR THAT! Wish you both an awesome weekend. Cheers

[@dragonflymedia3979]

Matt, how did you not scream with absolute ecstasy at the lighting when they left. Once in a lifetime for a wedding videographers career. I would have screamed for an hour. Great work my friend, watched all four and loved them, you two are total pros, Mark

[@MichaelLemley]

This was incredible Matt! Appreciate how thorough you are in your process. It helped me out in refining my process as well!

[@whoismatt]

Thanks Michael!

[@JDIGHALL]

This is truly the best BTS series I have ever seen. Seriously watch closely and learn. You won't be disappointed!

[@aROARahVyePer]

The best piece of advice from your videos is having a light for the reception. It has saved me so many times.

[@whoismatt]

+GrantiverusRex haha yesss!

[@Yew-Tyewbe]

I’m late to the party but I have recently started videography, weddings in particular and this type of content….LIFE SAVING! it’s priceless! No college or school could give you this kind of incite so I thank you sir!

[@BuckBowen]

This is absolute gold, and you're giving it to us for free. Thank you so much Matt. You guys are wonderful. This has inspired me to be more creative and proactive/assertive in my requests for certain shots. Thank you. P.S. I didn't see a PayPal or Venmo link in the description, do you have one?

[@whoismatt]

No PayPal link, but you can click the join button below next to the subscribe button to support me. :)

[@510visualz]

Matt... I really appreciate you having this channel man!! As someone that wants to get into wedding films, you have single handedly filled in all the gaps for me. I can't wait to put your tips to use! I got to tag along with a friend of mine at a wedding she's shooting this weekend and I am going to try my luck at filming it!! You and your lady rock!!

[@whoismatt]

Thanks Bryce! So glad I've been able to help you! Best of luck with filming the wedding!

[@MrRobthedude]

Dude! I was only disappointed that all 4 parts weren’t 45min. Loved watching an expert explain their craft in so much detail. Can’t wait for more like this.

[@whoismatt]

+MrRobthedude hahaha thanks!

[@BruceLeroyUK]

Omg, I’m in love with that couple. I enjoyed this video. Great job, Matt.

[@bradweiergallery]

Matt, I cannot thank you enough for all the time you spend giving tips to everyone!

[@b-rollfilmstudios6358]

You’re BTS videos are awesome....Noah and Mal’s wedding film was amazing!! The exit shots were phenomenal (thank you Mother Nature) but you captured it so well that the only way i can explain it is that you are a divine soul who is doing only what God meant for you to be doing. I am moved beyond words. Thank you.

[@ZealousJudoka]

This is so golden and can't appreciate enough all the information in this video! Two weeks till my next wedding gig and my confidence grew just watching this. Thank you good sir. Teach us more!!!

[@sirericwilliam]

Matt, I'm so glad I found your channel. This BTS series has been a huge help as I'm preparing to shoot my first wedding. I like you.

[@seangarcia4388]

Fantastic series Matt and it's really helpful to see the behind the scenes of the weddings you've shot. Please keep making this type of content and I certainly appreciate it!

[@chrysbalbzstillsandfilm8915]

You are absolutely doing the right thing for your channel doing behind the scenes. I watched all 4 parts and the wedding video you produced and they were all awesome. :)

[@shaloop007]

LOVED every minute of this BTS series. Great job, you three! Matt, I have been shooting weddings for 5 years now, and yet, I find this to be so refreshing. Watching you do some of the things I do is a confirmation for me. Watching you do different things from what I do helps me learn to correct what I'm doing wrong or to add more arsenal to my craft. Thank you, thank you, thank you for giving back to the community. I sincerely appreciate this. Blessings!

[@whoismatt]

+Paul Stewart thanks so much Paul! 😁

You are hands down my biggest inspiration when I comes to filming weddings. I’ve only filmed 3 but been an assistant photographer on 4 and your attitude is one I wish I could see more of in this area! I love seeing that even you big timers run into random misfortunes while filming, and manage to power through it!

[@jansimko955]

[@evafilmsmtl]

Thank you so much for this video and the gigantic work you put on each of them. This BTS is way more closer to "reality" for everyone. Very honest and you make us feel like if anything goes "wrong", is like normal and everybody faces this things... like oh, I should not feel bad because this or that doesn't goes as planned... as you said. You need to be prepared. That will make the difference. Thank you so much Matt. You are a great guy.

[@whoismatt]
