Matt and his team did an amazing job covering our wedding, and didn't interfere at all. They got awesome footage without blocking the guests and they made us feel totally comfortable. We couldn't have asked for anything more - absolutely flawless!

Such an amazing company! Great people and I didn't even notice they were there!! I highly recommend them!!
GUEST




We were well aware of the expertise of Lifetime Films when we chose them to be our videographer because they had done such a wonderful job on my brother's wedding five years earlier. What we were not aware of was the wonderful way Matt creates a story with our own words and captured the emotions of all our family. Our video will only become more treasured as the years go by. We will always be grateful to Matt Pine for his expertise, his artistry, and his sensitivity

Lifetime Films is truly set a part! The way Matt Pine and his team captured our special day through film was simply amazing and beyond our expectations! They expressed the heart of our relationship by conveying our personalities and raw emotions! Their work is authentic and personal. I especially love how they tied our daughter into our love story in such a beautiful way because she is a special part of it!
I could tell Matt Pine was driven by a unique passion to go above and beyond for his couples when he surprised me with a special tribute to my father who had passed away shortly before my wedding day. Of course, it brought tears to my eyes and was so moving! I will cherish it close to my heart always.
I can't thank Lifetime Films enough for blessing us with their incredible work! We are so happy we get to relive all of the precious moments of our wedding day again and again!

We are 114 days into wedded bliss and we received our wedding video a week ago! I was so excited to open up the mail and see this huge packet of dvds in the mailbox!! I wanted to wait till the hubby got home but I couldnt wait- popped it in the dvd player, turned up the volume and smiled. The music fit the day so well... (the lifetime crew choose for us) but you can pick your own or give them ideas! I started off smiling (who needs tissues)....then I saw that they caught my dad crying and I broke down in tears- who knew?! (where are those darn tissues?!) I found them and kept them close....(cried a few more times!) These guys are fabulous and I didn't know they were there half the time- (they blended into the crowd! and I felt so comfortable with them!) They caught things I never knew even happend and caught some very funny moments for the bloopers at the end. These guys worked with us through the 105 degree heat of the day and made it all worth it. We are so blessed that they shared our story and I can't wait till more family members get married so I can say "Congrats!...Now call Lifetime Videos!!

There are people who have jobs, people who have careers, and people who have passion. Matt and his team define passion. Having several friends and family who have worked with the Lifetime team in the past we knew there was no question as to use for our special day. They are a team of true professionals who do not just capture events on film, they tell a story-one that is unique and special to each couple they work with.
Too many wedding-based businesses try to get you to choose from a limited list of services or options. Matt says "what do you want-I will bring it to life." He did just that on our wedding day and even before, taking time to learn about who we are, what we enjoy, and what we wanted in our video. His intentional, personal approach was so visible in the way he captures all moments, both big and small. He have so much enjoyed seeing the different parts of our day that we were not able to experience directly and that is invaluable!
We look forward to being a part of his next production in our family as he films our sister/sister-in-law's wedding!

When my daughter, Jamie, got engaged she left most of the wedding planning up to her sister and me, but one of the very few things Jamie was truly adamant about was hiring Lifetime Films to capture her and Drew's wedding day. I wasn't too familiar with the concept of having a wedding videographer, but since Jamie and Drew were so determined to have Lifetime Films capture their wedding day, they had my total support.
There aren't enough words (literally, there aren't) to describe how much I LOVE the wedding film!! Watching the film is like reliving the entire wedding day, and I don't think there are enough tissues in the world that can stop the tears from rolling down my cheeks every time I watch it (which is often)! I now see why Jamie was so insistent on having a wedding videographer, and more importantly, making sure it was Lifetime Films! Matt Pine and his team are unbelievably talented, truly dedicated to their work, and are absolutely wonderful to work with throughout the entire planning and wedding day process.
Thanks to Lifetime Films, I can relive every moment of the special day, and I am so thankful my daughter was so insistent on having a videographer! I highly recommend Lifetime Films! I now have this incredible film that I can share with loved ones and watch for many many more years to come! It's truly magical!

Oh Beth, what a beautiful review, thank you. This was one of our favorite weddings of 2012:https://vimeo.com/47458052

Matt Pine and his team are absolutely amazing! My husband and I knew right away we wanted a videographer to capture our wedding, but not just any videographer, we wanted Lifetime Films! We actually were willing to work our wedding date around their availability. I had seen their work through a friend, and knew they were the ones I wanted. Matt Pine and his team are beyond videographers, they are so professional and we were so thrilled they were able to share our big day with us. The reason why we wanted a videographer was to have footage from our wedding that we could watch year after year and that way every special moment and every smile, every laugh, every detail will forever be there to relive as me and my husband share our lives together. The video that Matt and his team put together is beyond words. The day goes by in a blink, and now I not only carry all my wedding day memories in my heart, I can also watch the video over and over again. I beyond recommend Matt and his team. Their work is priceless!

Matt Pine and staff were EXCELLENT to work with for our wedding on 6/9/12. Matt is very personable and did an excellent job of capturing the small details of our wedding. He was excellent at communicating and made sure to really capture what was important to us throughout the day. As a bride, the wedding day flies by and its easy to miss small moments. We are so excited that Matt and staff were there to capture those moments and to create everlasting memories for us. Matt was extremely professional and blended in well with the crowd to where it seemed like they weren't even there. We are so excited to see the final product. I would recommend lifetime films to anyone planning a wedding in the Cincinnati area.
GUEST




Lifetime Films was fabulous! The video was so professional and caught all the exciting moments at the wedding. Matt Pine and his team couldn't have been nicer and easier to work with. I would definitely recommend Lifetime Films to everyone who wants to capture their wedding on video that you will have forever!

Words cannot describe how much my husband and I LOVE LOVE LOVE our wedding video. I am left speechless everytime I watch it! Matt and his team are the most AMAZING people to work with. They are hands down a first class team of professionals! There was not a moment during the day that I really noticed the 4 cameras on me. I don't know how they do that! Matt captured moments that I didn't even get to see that day. FUTURE BRIDES....YOU WILL NOT REGRET hiring Lifetime Films as your videographer. My grandpa who is 78 was crying watching our video. Again, I cannot put into words how much this video means to me. The memories captured on our DVD are PRICELESS. Thank you Matt for making my fairytale wedding into a movie we will watch over and over again!!
GUEST




We absolutely love the video. Highly recommend. Matt and his team did such a fantastic job. They recognized the little details that made our son & daughter in law's day so very special and included them in the video.

After deciding to hire a videographer, we quickly narrowed the search down. We were very impressed with Lifetime's previous work. Although capturing our wedding on video looked to be expensive, we can honestly say after watching the final product that it was worth every penny. There are so many little things you miss on your Big Day, and the Lifetime film crews were on the ball. Very polite and professional, all day long. They definitely have an eye for 'small moments' and we love everything they captured.
Our wedding looks beautiful on Bluray and in HD, as well as on the DVD copies we received. Matt Pine did an excellent job preparing us for what to expect, and worked well with our other vendors. We will certainly recommend Lifetime Films to anyone looking for quality wedding videography. To see the trailer Lifetime put together for our wedding, feel free to visit

Matt Pine and his crew do phenomenal work and go above and beyond any expectations you may have. My new sister in law used Lifetime for her wedding video and as soon as I saw hers I knew I wanted that at our wedding, not only a video,but Lifetime! I have only seen the trailer for our wedding and I was in tears when the music started. I saw so much in that short clip that I had no idea about on the actual day. Lifetime has a way of showing you all of the wedding that you miss because you aren't really "there" on the big day. Thank you for everything you do and we can't wait to see the final product :)
GUEST




I don't even know where to begin...Lifetime Films is AMAZING!!! Matt Pine came highly recommended and I can see why! He is very passionate about his job and it shows in the final product. People who were not at the wedding, but have seen just the highlight reel have been in tears. My wedding was very bittersweet because my mother passed away 2 months before my wedding, but Matt was able to do a tribute to her that let me know that she was still very much a part of the day. Matt and his crew are AWESOME! If you want the best, CHOOSE LIFETIME FILMS!

Matt Pine is a filmmaker god! Not only do they produce amazing product, they have outstanding customer service, and offer an all around enjoyable experience through your wedding planning. As I sat at my computer crying over the poetic and beautiful videos that are on their blog I knew I had to call him that minute. Setting up a meeting, talking over details, suggesting and giving advice on other wedding vendors he has worked with was all a breeze and an amazing help! We signed the contract for our wedding that day and decided to add on a save the date film so an extra special feature for our guests. Today I received our save the date film that had my mother in tears in seconds! Below is the link.

I would highly recommend spending the extra money for your wedding day with lifetime films. As I told Matt during our first conversation, "Flowers die the week after your wedding, this film I can watch and cry over for many years to come!" I can't wait for our wedding day with lifetime films!!!!

I was really on the fence about hiring a videographer for our wedding because it wasn't really a cost we had budgeted for and I wasn't sure it was worth the extra money. Meeting with Matt and seeing his work changed my mind instantly. I knew I had to have THEM at my wedding. The day goes by SO fast & I am so glad I have the film to remember everything. There are also things that you don't get to see as a bride, like the guests arriving, the groomsmen getting ready, the cocktail hour, etc. I was able to see all of this (I had fantasized about my big day for a long time and put a lot of work into it and gosh darn it, I wanted to see it all!) on our amazing film. Matt was easy to work with and get a hold of, whether it was by email or phone. Another thing that amazed me was that Matt told me I would barely notice their presence on my wedding day. Sure enough, the day after I was laughing to my husband, "Are you sure they were there? I have distant memories of saying hello, but are you sure??" They blended in with the guests so spectacularly and captured SO many moments that I do not remember them being there for. Matt & his team are exceptionally talented at what they do and you can really tell they LOVE what they do: it shows throughout each and every video that they make. Thank you for giving us the best time capsule we could have asked for!
GUEST




Where to start? Matt P. and his group from Lifetime was probably the best money that I spent on our wedding. I was on the fence about booking with Lifetime due to the additional fee that I thought I could do without - now I cannot imagine not having our story captured so wonderfully on film. He was great to work with in the planning process and his team was SO easy to get along with on the day of the wedding. Every bride planning should book - I assure you will not be disappointed with Lifetime's amazing work!
Watching the video and trailer with my husband was absolutely amazing. There were so many (thousands) of details that I had forgotten or not even noticed from our wedding day, and Matt so perfectly captured them all. Matt definitely lived up to his slogan of "Making mothers cry," as my mom needed a whole box of tissues :) A+++ to Matt and his entire Lifetime Video team!
GUEST




Matt Pine and crew did an amazing job. There are so many things you don't get to see thoughout the day yet Matt and his crew got it all. They know where to be and when to be there to get everything and at different viewpoints. I love being able to see reactions on faces to whats happening at that time. With 4 videopgraphers they are able to get so much more than you would ever be able to actually see at the time. They are so professional and non intrusive. You don't know they are there and when you see the finished product you are amazed how they got it all and were able to then put it all together so well. The footage, editing and music were perfect! It truly does bring tears to your eyes, and also in our case a lot of laughter! This was one of the best decisions we made concerning the wedding. It was awesome and well worth it! Actually priceless! Thanks so much!!
GUEST




Matt Pine did an amazing job! Matt and his crew were great to have around and were easy to work with. They made the mood light and you actually hardly even noticed they were there. We had seen their work on other couples' projects and were very impressed. With ours they didn't disappoint. It brought tears to my wife's eyes and, I gotta be honest, I teared up as well. You did a fantastic job of capturing the day and couldn't be happier! Thanks again Matt!

Thanks Brian, this was by far one of the most emotional weddings have ever captured. Some great voice over from your father-in-law:

The Lifetime Film crew has done it again! I knew I wanted a videographer from the start because the day goes by so quickly once it finally arrives. I wanted to make sure that the entire day was captured by photo and video. Through the video my husband and I are truly able to live in that moment again. Suprisingly, I didn't shed a tear on my wedding day but just yesterday while watching the trailer for our wedding video, I had a few tears. Matt Pine and the Lifetime Film crew did it once again, not only have they been making mothers cry since 1991, but they made me cry yesterday in 2012. If you are debabting on whether or not to hire a videographer, you have two very important decisions to make. One, you must hire a videographer. Two, you MUST HIRE LIFETIME FILMS as your videographer. No exceptions! Absolutely fabulous work by Lifetime Films. Lifetime Films: Thank you for all your hard work on our big day!
GUEST




To all future brides and grooms: You need Matt Pine and Lifetime Video to be a part of your wedding day! They are amazing!! Not only amazing in talent and the ability to capture moments so beautifully and brilliantly, but in passion, professionalism and character. You are getting the best product and the best experience with Lifetime. Your wedding video is so important-it is a once in a lifetime moment that you will cherish forever. Matt Pine was so wonderful to work with-he is professional, honest, a lot of fun, gives great advice and guidance and has so much experience. Hiring Lifetime was the best decision we made for our wedding, hands down!!
GUEST




You can tell when a person is passionate about what they do. It shines through in their enthusiasm, creativity and overall energy. For this reason, I cannot say enough good things about Matt Pine and his team at Lifetime. Beyond being professional, courteous and an overall pleasure to work with, the product they produced was unbelievable. Way beyond what we'd expected. Way beyond what your photographer or a friend taping the ceremony could every capture. It was a last minute decision for us to hire a videographer and somehow landed Matt & team. I can't believe our luck.
Somehow, Matt & team were there to document every moment, up close and personal, without ever being "in our faces." In fact, I barely remember them being there at all! When we saw our video for the first time, I could not believe all the intimate memories they had captured -- from the look on my husband's face as he fixated on me walking down the aisle, to the "behind the scenes" moments, including my dad and I waiting to make our grand entrance. They truly captured EVERY emotion we felt on our wedding day. What is more, the camera angles, varied filming styles, music selections and voice-overs gave us a film that felt like a professional picture.
My advice to all brides -- invest in a videographer, and hire Matt & team. You will not regret it!

My husband and I just received our wedding video and we could not be more THRILLED! We loved all the intricate details that were shown on the video (and trailer). The Lifetime team truly captured the emotion of our wedding day. They were also discrete (even though we knew they were there) and professional. I highly recommend Lifetime Films! You will not be disappointed!
GUEST




Wow, what can I say about Matt? What an incredible artist he is! Party Pleasers recommended him to us, and we were so fortunate to be able to get him on short notice. I wanted the best, after all when you spend so much money on something, you want to be able to re-live it over and over again. His work is absolutely amazing, and you will NOT be disappointed.
GUEST




I am so glad that I chose Lifetime Films to do my wedding. I saw things on the video that I had completely forgotten about and I have only been married 4 months. I got the same butterflies I had the day I said I do. I could not have asked for more!! My father is not an emotional person, but lifetime films captured my dad crying, him shaking, things I did not see. Watching his face the first time he saw me in my dress and our daddy, daughter dance. Also, getting to see my husbands face when they opened the doors, I could not see it that day, but now I can see it anytime I want. I could not have asked for more! I have tried to put into words how amazing my video is but there are no words! I would recommend Lifetime to any bride! You would have to be out of your mind not to chose Matt Pine and his amazing crew at Lifetime! Without a doubt the best money I spent on my wedding!!
GUEST




Mr. Pine and the Lifetime Films crew are simply AMAZING! The best advice we got when wedding planning was from the list of regrets from couples before us and the number one thing must regretted is NOT hiring a videographer! I knew that a videographer was a must for our special day and after our first meeting with Matt Pine, where he almost had me in tears watching someone else’s wedding trailer, just sealed the deal for my now husband and I! They are simply great at what they do and you will NOT be disappointed! I mean 4 cameras on you (and your party) and a microphone to hear your vowels perfectly? How could you ever replace that! It’s one day that changes the whole rest of your lives and it goes by SO fast that you have no clue what happened, having that video to see all the parts that you didn’t see – its priceless. I think I’m going to go watch ours again… because I can! Thank you, Mr. Pine!
GUEST




From the first time i talked on the phone with Matt Pine i knew he was the right videographer for me. He was so caring and interested in me and Daniel and our life together. He really wanted to know us which was such a great feeling.. i knew with Matt that is was not just a job for him. He was just as excited about our Wedding as we were. He was very easy to work with and was willing to talk anytime i had questions...which was not often because from DAy 1 I trusted Matt and knew he was AMAZING at what he does and i KNEW he would capture our wedding day perfectly. He has giving me moments from my wedding day that I relive every day when i watch my video..... MATT PINE and his crew are a MUST HAVE on your Wedding Day!!! Andrea Durnell

My husband and I just received our wedding video in the mail and could not be more thrilled! We absolutely love it and are so excited to have this as a keepsake for the rest of our lives. Neither of us planned on hiring a videographer for our wedding but I can honestly say that working with Lifetime was the BEST decision we made through the entire planning process. They were professional, helpful, easy to work with and provided us with an amazing final product! Book them ASAP--you will be so thankful you did!!
GUEST




OMG, Matt Pine and his team are incredible. Watching his wedding trailers of his previous work literally made me cry. Now, I've finally gotten to see the results from our wedding. We just saw our trailer (full video not ready quite yet)and I couldn't be happier. Everyone that has seen it, whether they attended the wedding or not, has stated it evokes such emotion and captures the love shared by my husband and I on our wedding day. We can't wait to see the full feature film! Matt was also very easy to work with and accomadating. One of our major criteria was that the photographer and videographers worked well together, and it was a seamless interaction! Thanks for the beautiful preservation of our memories Matt - You guys are AWESOME!!!
GUEST




Matt Pine and the Lifetime Crew are incredible. They are so fun to work with and truly know what it means to balance a professional company, exceed client expectations, and provide an unbelievably creative product. If we had to do it all over again, this is one thing we wouldn't change a thing.
The final video was AMAZING! The things they capture and the way they capture them showcase/highlight all the hard-work and planning that went into getting every detail perfect for the big day, and our video is the ultimate video that enhances all those amazing details of our wedding that we can relive and share with generation to come.
Thanks Lifetime!

AMAZING, FABULOUS, BREATH TAKING AND WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY! My husband and I paid for 99% of our wedding ourselves and didn't have a videographer in our wedding budget. Our photographer and a couple friends recommended Matt Pine and his crew to us, so we looked into it. The minute I started looking at some of the wedding trailers I knew Matt was awesome. I met with Matt and watched different clips of his work and knew I had to find a way to get him into our wedding budget. We did everything we could to get Matt into our wedding budget and hired him. We have had our wedding video for about 5 days now and have already watched it several times. Matt and his crew did an amazing job capturing every single detail about our wedding day and included special things about every location and the surroundings of our day. We have cried happy tears every time we have watched our video so far. After every time watching it, we both say " I can't imagine not having this video". It is absolutely breath taking and was worth every single penny. Our wedding day was full of several storms and the power went out during our ceremony and our reception didn't have power until the wedding party arrived. The video was still amazing and Matt never once looked stressed about the power outage issues. Matt took our pictures, our story and our wedding day mixed it all up and created an AMAZING MOVIE OF THE BEST DAY OF OUR LIVES. If you are the soon to be bride, YOU NEED TO HIRE MATT PINE AND DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO PUT HIM IN YOUR BUDGET. Matt is extremely talented and knows what to do, when to do it and where to put it all......MATT PINE MAKES MASTERPIECES!!
GUEST




I cannot even begin to explain to brides and grooms how imperative it is that they have Matt Pine and his Lifetime Films crew as one of their first vendors for their wedding day!! They were so professional and respectful from the very first phone call until this very day! We wanted to hire professionals to be apart of our wedding and boy did they serve! Not only did they act professional (and sneaky...I didn't even notice them in my face at all) but they dressed professionally and were respectful to our guests. We are giddy about our wedding film and I will use them for our children in the future :) I like to say that Lifetime Films has been "Making Lelia Cry Since 2008" and I will keep up with them for eternity!! Thank you so much for your hard work!! Alex and I are forever grateful and thankful for your talent and that you would share it with us for our wedding day!!

Having Matt and the Lifetime Crew film our wedding was the easiest and BEST decision we could have made, hands down! From the moment I saw a friends wedding trailer/sneak peek online I knew, without a doubt, that I would be calling and booking them for my wedding (which at the time was still 18 months away)! Matt is truly talented at what he does and it shows in all of his work. One stop on the Lifetime blog and it's impossible to not be hooked. Have tissues on hand though! Our wedding video is absolutely AMAZING and nothing short of perfect. The day goes by so fast and there are many things that we weren't able to see that he captured. Not only moments that we missed but also moments that we treasure that can't be re-created are now a keepsake. We have had friends, since seeing our video, tell us they regret that they didn't make the same decision for their wedding. 100% highly, highly, highly recommend!
GUEST




If you are even thinking about hiring a videographer for your wedding, this is a no brainer. Matt Pine at Lifetime Films does awesome work. My husband and I made a last minute decision to hire a videographer for the family who wouldn't be able to travel and this turned out to be one of the best last minute decisions we've ever made! We now have our own movie to remind us of the special day and we still can't believe how good it turned out.
GUEST




Matt Pine was SO much fun to work with. He was recommended to me by my coordinator, and we chose him after watching all his previews on his blog. I spent 13 years in the media production field, so I can be pretty picky when it comes to this kind of stuff. I absolutely didn’t want anything cheesy or anything that looked like a mass-produced “cookie cutter” video. You know, the kind that are pretty much all the same, just drop in the new couple’s video clips. Each of his pieces are unique and you can tell he treats each one with the creativity, care, and attention it deserves. Matt and his entire crew are AMAZING and would recommend them before anyone else.

Lifetime Films did an AMAZING job on our wedding !!! Matt Pine is so much fun to work with. We've had so many people comment on our wedding trailer saying it's one of the coolest things they've ever seen for a wedding. The videos make you feel like you're back in that moment of time and being able to re-live that night all over is priceless. LIFETIME FILMS ARE BREATHTAKING !!!!

Choosing this videographer was probably the best decision that I made for my wedding. So much happens at your wedding that you don't get to see and Lifetime does an amazing job of capturing all those special moments that you want to remember forever!
GUEST




Lifetime video helped make my wedding experience all that I hoped it would be! I was hooked as soon as I saw their work on their website. When it came to our wedding, attention to detail was a must and Lifetime was on the same page. They captured every detail throughout the entire day and I loved the fact that they put in clips of everyone who attended the wedding and reception. I have already watched the video twice all the way through and can't wait to watch it over and over! My entire family loved the video and without it our special day would not have felt so spectacular!
GUEST




I loved working with Matt!!! He was amazing and so comfortable to be around! I loved having him there with us all day! His work is amazing and he is very professional at what he does! I would hire him over and over again!! :)

I can’t say enough about how great Matt Pine and Lifetime Films truly are! They filmed my sister’s wedding in 2005 and my family and I loved the results so much, I knew I wanted them to capture my wedding too. I was a little nervous about having cameras around all day but Matt really put me at ease and was fun to work with during all stages of the process. We just got to see our wedding trailer and it’s an absolute masterpiece! I know the film is something we will cherish forever. I whole-heartedly recommend Lifetime to anyone who is considering capturing their special day on film!

Matt Pine and Lifetime are AMAZING!!! When I first got engaged, I knew that there were a few things I definitely wanted to splurge on. A great videographer was one of them, and it certainly didn't take long to find out that Matt Pine is the best in the city. After having him and his crew around the entire day of my wedding, and after seeing the masterpiece that he created for us, I can truly say that I agree 100%!!!
GUEST




I have to give my wedding planner credit for booking Lifetime for our outdoor wedding. The video shot by Mark and Sam of Lifetime was AMAZING!!! They were so professional and got footage of everything: the ceremony grounds, an amazing sunset that day, my Dad wiping away my tears and my Husband's shocked face when the coordinator told him it was time to get married -priceless. After posting a facebook trailer, I have had numerous friends ask me for Lifetime's contact information. One friend even said "Your video looks like hollywood!" I've watched it so much, it was beautifully shot and tells the story so better than if I had just gotten photographs. I would highly recommend Lifetime to anyone, they are wonderful to work with and the product was phenomenal.
GUEST




A friend of mine had told me about Lifetime when we had got engaged. I went to Matt's Lifetime website and I was addicted watching other people's highlight reels and videos. I knew we had to have him. I still say that the money we put towards hiring Matt and Lifetime Company was the best money spent on the wedding. That is all you have left after your wedding day to be able to look back and see so many wonderful moments were made.
GUEST




Matt and Team are just amazing! The final product far exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend booking Matt to shoot your wedding....we have only been married 4 months and watched our video multiple times! We love that we can see parts of our day that we missed.....it was truly worth it. thanks!!!
GUEST




Our daughter and her fiance had decided to book Matt Pine of Lifetime Films simply by word of mouth and reading others' reviews of him. It was a leap of faith and daring, because we'd seen a few video records of past weddings that were all right....but just "all right". Our daughter was very confident in Mr. Pine's ability to record her wedding, and convinced us to trust her. Naturally, as the MOB, I had to put my two cents' worth in, and contacted Matt several (!) times before the wedding. He was so very patient with all of us, attentive to our desires and reassured us that we would never regret having him record the biggest day in our child's life. To say what Matt Pine and his staff produced for us was magnificent is indeed an understatement~~~~the DVD record of our daughter's and son-in-law's wedding is a masterpiece! It took our breath away; it was stunning! Matt's motto "Making mothers cry since 1991" should include doting fathers, too, as my husband's tears flowed as heavily as did mine and we heard that the groom's parents sat and watched the entire DVD twice, back to back! All to whom we have shown this wonderful piece of work, this piece of fairy-tale magic, have been so moved and enthusiastic. He has trained his staff of friendly, extremely professional people to be as unintrusive and quiet as possible; half the time, we didn't even know they were around! The wedding story had just the right amount of tear-filled moments, balanced with uproariously funny segments to keep it from being a weep-fest, to make the experience of watching Matt Pine's work a thrill for the viewer after which we felt as if we'd been to Karla's and Phil's magnificent wedding all over again. To all Brides- and Grooms-to-be~~~Do yourselves the favor of a "Lifetime" and contact Matt Pine for your wedding as soon as you can! Both Lifetime Films and Brian Harris Entertainment made this one day the best it could possibly be----we were so incredibly fortunate to have made the exact right decisions for a perfect wedding. Thank you, Matt, from all of us, and to the staff of Lifetime Films. We have a record of this most important wedding to live on for generations!
GUEST




I was one of those skeptical brides who didn't want to hire a videographer; I never thought I would want to watch my wedding video. But hiring Matt was one of the best decisions we made. Everyone told me how quickly the wedding day would go by; we had four days of celebrations and they seriously flew by. I'm so so so happy I have a video to see all shots I missed, all our friends and family enjoying themselves, and to be able to watch (and one day show our children) the day we got married. Matt and his team did a fabulous job. The music and editing were amazing. It is emotional without being cloying and sappy. It is simply perfect.
GUEST




When I was starting to plan my wedding, I was overwhelmed since I was fairly new to Cincinnati and the US, and didn’t have family nor friends in the area. So, I decided to just pray and rely on divine guidance to lead me to the right wedding vendors. I think my prayers were answered because we were able to find good vendors including Lifetime.
Without knowing any vendors nor having any referrals, I picked up the black book from the Wedding Mafia and called Lifetime Films. I was moved and impressed with the videos I saw on the website! We also contacted other vendors, but Lifetime was just different. The price almost prevented us from working with them as we tried to stick within our budget but I’m so glad I trusted my instincts and booked them, as our wedding film was great! We hardly remember anything that day and since some of my immediate family was unable to attend due to visa issues I knew filming it was a must. My wedding was also a joyous reunion from relatives from the US, Manila and my husband’s family that capturing it is a memory we will cherish forever. Lifetime Films captured not just the scenes but also the essence of each moment and the subtleties that go along with it set to a cool soundtrack. My mother was teary-eyed and chuckling (funny scenes) throughout when we watched our video. Matt Pine has an eye in capturing what matters and putting them together in a classy, and cool way. I’ve watched our video with our 2 families together and it was a very heartfelt and boisterous occasion each time. Everybody who has watched it has wanted to see it some more! After everything’s said and done, hiring Lifetime Films was really well worth the investment.
GUEST




I'm going to be honest, when my daughter told me the cost, I about hit the floor. She then made me go to the website and I was very impressed but still concerned with the cost. My husband even said, do you want to spend that much for something you are going to watch one time. I showed him the website and looked at him and said you know our daughter, she will watch this everyday, she was already watching the videos on the website every chance she got. The day of the wedding, Matt Pine and his crew came and they were just amazing, actually they were quite fun! I knew then we made the right choice. They were like part of the family, in fact there were times we even forgot they were there filming. There were so many people with cameras there that day, we even made a joke about our daughter and her entourage. The final product, absolutely AWESOME!!! The moments that were captured that would have been missed, a look of a proud grandpa, grandpa getting released from a stuck elevator, the grooms face when he first saw the bride, a tear in a mothers eye, all of this would have been missed. Not only did Matt capture it, he put into a final product that we'll never get tired of watching. When the trailer was posted I think I watched it 50 times, that was just the first day. I've watched the dvd twice now and we've only had it a little over a week. I cry just like it was the wedding day all over again, it is just so beautiful. There is no way to thank anyone for the work and creativity that was put into it and no way to explain how much having this memory to hold on to means to us. Thanks you so much for this very special gift!

When I first began wedding planning, I (eager and naive) didn't want to spend the money on a videographer. I would say, "All a videographer does is film the wedding. What's the big deal? I can have a family member do that!" When I ran into a friend's father (who had used Lifetime Video) in the grocery store, he said, "We had a videographer and it was worth every penny. Think about the people who will one day no longer be with you. Don't you want them, their voice, and their actions captured forever. We are so glad that we had a videographer at our daughter's wedding because they captured 'grandpa' on film. A couple months later, grandpa passed away." Right then and there I made my decision. I would have a videographer...but which one? I watched my friend's video and instantly loved it. I visited Lifetime's blog and was amazed at all of the works of art. The Lifetime crew was truly a gifted group of people! However, the price of the work scared me and I began to shop around at other vendors. The problem was--I kept comparing every vendor to Lifetime and they just weren't measuring up. What made my final decision was that this was my wedding day and I didn't want to have any regrets. I booked Lifetime that day. Their quality of service is unmatched. The wedding video I received has exceeded all of my expectations. It is so much better than what a family member could have filmed because it is such a masterpiece of camera angles, colors, and music. As I sit here, 4 months after my wedding, I can honestly say I have no regrets. I highly recommend Lifetime Video for your wedding. Throw your qualms out the window and just hire them! You won't be disappointed.
GUEST




How could anyone ever put a price on a Masterpiece? You can't! Because it's PRICELESS! And that is EXACTLY what you will get and MORE! I am a true Type-A personality bride who requires excellence and nothing less. Originally from CA, I seriously doubted I could find "true cinematography" here in Ohio - I was ABSOLUTELY wrong! What Matt and the Lifetime crew delivered to me not only was a work of art - but a priceless documentary of the very first day we became husband and wife - something that will definately be passed down for generations! I interviewed others, but always KNEW in my heart Lifetime Videos was the was to go - besides marrying my husband, it was, hands-down, the BEST decision and money spent on my wedding day!
GUEST




I can't tell you how happy we are to have this keepsake. You get so caught up in the day that you miss so much. I do not remember many of the things that you captured on video and for that I am forever grateful. Sorry to sound so sappy, but hey it's a Mommy thing!!! You can be sure that we will recommend you to anyone we know that is having a wedding!! And Jenni is right; best money I ever spent!!!

We used Lifetime Video for our wedding day. The entire day was wonderful. The videographers were very professional and became like part of your wedding party. You actually forgot they were there at times. The final product looks great. Some of the reactions and casual shots are wonderful. We have shared this with our families and they love it and can't wait to share it with friends soon. I would totally recommend Lifetime Films to anyone
GUEST




Matt Pine did an amazing job on our wedding video. He captured so many emotions. I cry everytime I watch it. We are totally satisfied with the dvd. It was worth every penny! Matt also made us all feel very comfortable, which is so important. Highly recomended!
GUEST




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!
GUEST




Matt Pine, you are a creative genius! I just watched the video for the 100th time and still can't get enough of it. And, yes you sure did make the mother AND the father cry! You were able to capture all the moments of our daughter's beautiful wedding day but in such a way that captured all the emotions and personalities of the people. It is so wonderful!! It truly does not just chronicle the day but it is a movie that truly tells the unique love story of Em and Tim. I love how you were able to capture all the guests in candid moments and then sprinkled those in throughout the video. The voice overs and flashbacks were special touches, too. In additon, you were fun to have around that day and it amazes me how you were there to get it all and we hardly noticed. We feel so lucky to have found you to provide such a keepsake of one of life's very special days!
A heartfelt thanks! Eileen and Mike Shapiro

At the end of your wedding or event, all that remains is a memory, and we all know that memories fade...unless Matt Pine has produced your video! Matt managed to capture the essence of the day. Somehow, he captured ALL of the beauty and happiness and poignancy. He is not a videographer; he is a poet!
I was delighted with all the vendors I chose for my son's wedding, but I was THRILLED with Lifetime Videos. Thank you, Matt...from the bottom of my heart!

If there were a ten scale, Matt Pine would be a twenty.....When I first thought about a videographer, I went online to find one....two... then five or six. When I found Lifetime Videos, I viewed a featured video and burst into tears.... my daugher, the bride came racing down the stairs wondering what had happened to me... I told her that I had just seen a wedding video. She asked whether I knew the couple and I said through my tears of joy, "NO, it was just so special!" Matt could not have been nicer or more sensitive to our wants for our only daughter's special day.... The photo montage watching the bride and groom grow up was a huge hit at the reception. Every detail was captured.... Moments that would have been lost or forgotten were preserved in HD!!!
When people asked about fitting in the budget, I could not even imagine not spending to preserve forever that moment in time.... Truely priceless.....

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!!

My wedding was one of the most beautiful and joyous occassions of my life, and Lifetime video was able to capture all those moments, memories, and emotions and weave them together into a beautiful fairytale-like story. Thanks to Lifetime video, I get to relive the best parts of my wedding day just by turning on a tv, and actually witness aspects of my wedding that I would have otherwise never noticed or gotten a chance to see! Matt, my videographer, is truly an artist. He is tasteful, tactful, flexible, and dependable. He has been involved in so many weddings that he knew where to be and what to do without instruction, and he even gave us helpful recommendations and advice. He created a beautiful slideshow of our baby and then couples pictures that everyone loves. He chose the perfect music to suit my husband's and my tastes and the flow of our wedding. The videography captures beauty and detail that photography just simply cannot. I highly recommend having a videographer, and Liftime Films is simply the best.
GUEST




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)!
GUEST




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!

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.

Lieftime Video has made a video for our wedding that we will cherish for a lifetime!! Their professionalism and workmanship was superb!! On the day of the wedding they never interrupted us, but were there and videoing every detail of our day. When we watched it, we cried all over again. It was very creative and professional. Definitely worth the money!!
GUEST




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!
GUEST




As mother of the bride tending to many details, I can't tell you how much iIenjoy watching the video of my daughter's wedding. The video captured everything that day. My younger daughter gave Lifetime Films as a wedding gift to her sister, thank goodness! To think we would have missed capturing this day on video. All I can say about Lifetime Films is excellent work! The separate cd of just the music is so special, since the bride missed most of it. I am planning giving my daughter and son-in-law the cd for their first anniversary. If your budget does not allow for a videographer, find a way to include it. You will not regret it. Job well done Lifetime Films. Janet King

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!!!!!!

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!
GUEST




The decision to hire a videographer was made about a week before the wedding. So, it was very fortunate for us that we found Matt and that he was actually available to work with us. His work is impeccable, sensitive, and creative. He is a true storyteller and craftsman, and he shows a completely new perspective of the event from his unique point of view. His timing is perfect which allows him to capture moments that we didn't even know happened. We couldn't have been happier with the final product.
GUEST




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!
GUEST




I was not budgeting for a videographer until I saw the blog of Lifetime Films. I was hooked. I did all my reasearch and talked to a few different videographers but already had my heart set on having Lifetime for my wedding. It was a hard decsion- because money was definitley and issue. I talked back and forth with Matt Pine (owner) and we finally agreed that we wanted to work together. Once I saw the final production I was blown away. Choosing Lifetime was the best decsion of the entire wedding! Besides choosing the husband if course :)
GUEST




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!
GUEST




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!

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

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!

I agree 110%, Rob had a fantastic reaction to seeing how absolutely stunning you looked coming down that aisle. This has to be in Lifetime's top three of all time. His quivering lower lip is just priceless. More people have commented on how much they LOVE this clip:

Words cannot express how grateful we are to Lifetime Films for capturing our wedding day. After seeing several of the blog trailers posted on their website, I knew Lifetime was one vendor that would go out of their way to make sure our day was absolutely perfect—and six months after our wedding, I can honestly say that the Lifetime team captured each absolutely perfect moment (and then some!) from our wedding way. Our wedding video is a masterpiece and by far the best keepsake from our wedding. Check out Lifetime’s blog. You’ll be hooked!

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!

Matt Pine was the videographer for my daughter Julie's wedding in June 2009. He was wonderful. He captured our beautiful daughter and her special day from morning preparations until the end of the reception. When we received the video and immediately viewed it, I was so overwhelmed at the amazing story he portrayed. The video had footage from events that I had missed during the day. One of the most memorable being,at the church after I was seated. I missed those moments of her, the attendants and her father getting ready to walk down the aisle. Matt captured awesome footage of her first reaction to a beutifully decorated church, the excitement of seeing all of her family and friends watching her and the emotions of finally joiing her life with her best friend. As I watched the entire video, Matt caught the entire day for us. The quality of the video was excellent, and the music was spot on. He is an expert in his field and I couldn't reccommend him more. Thanks Matt for letting family and friends see what you did that whole day. We'll definetly use you again. Gayle Jett

Lifetime Films and Matt Pine are AWESOME! I chose to hire a videographer very early in my wedding planning because I knew that photos alone were not going to capture all of my wedding memories. Matt and his partner were very professional and punctual. They listened to what was important to me and also added so many additional special memories. Ryan, myself, and our families were so excited when we got our videos. The videos exceeded our expectations! We are so happy we chose to hire Lifetime Films because there are so many moments that we missed or forgot about. We are going to make it a tradition to watch our video for our anniversary every year. You can compare Lifetime Films to other videographer companies, but you will be surprised to see that other videographers can not even compete with Matt Pines final product.

What can I say about Matt and Dan. One word "WOW"...of course I will say more, but really 'wow' is the first thing I think of when I think about Lifetime Films. We worked with Matt in the beginning and he walked me through everything with ease. I didn't meet Dan, our videographer, until the day of my wedding, which scared me, but I had nothing, absolutely nothing to worry about. The product that came from the most magical day of my and my husbands' lives was truly amazing. We watched our wedding trailer and cried every time. We watched the video, which we just got, and have cried every time while watching it. It is a beautiful, moving, piece of artwork that we will cherish forever and watch every year on our anniversary for sure. Thanks Matt and Dan for everything!

Lifetime Video was an excellent decision. I, like many brides were unsure as to if I wanted to hire a videographer. Many people noted that I would miss out on many memories by not getting a video. They are right, the night goes so fast that it is was great to have a reminder of how wonderful the evening was for everyone. I live outside of the area and have a busy work schedule. Matt worked very well with my photographer, coordinating the day. I was completely stress free and had an amazing time. The videographers were very unobtrusive but were able to get so much great footage of the ceremony and reception. The final product was outstanding! My husband and I were so happy with our decision. We are looking forward to watching our video over and over and making it an anniversary tradition. Both of our parents were so pleased with the service and the video. Lifetime video comes highly recommended!!

I was basically forced to obtain a wedding videographer and did not think it was worth the hassel, money. I hated the idea of being followed around by camera. Matt promised me it would not feel posed or scripted, he was right! Dan was very respectful of my wishes and to be honest I didn't even know they were there most of the time. We just watched our video yesterday and it's amazing all you miss in the whirlwind of the day. I am so grateful I have this video, it's a wonderful reminder of the best day of my life. I would reccomend Lifefime Films to anyone its well worth the price you pay to get the best.

Your clip Camie, remains one of my favorite pieces Dan has edited. The trumpet solo & his incredible camera work during your first danced is just brilliant:

I am so glad that we went ahead and got a video done. Lifetime did a great job and I can't wait for ten years to go by so that I can pop in the video and relive every moment.
GUEST




We had Dan from Lifetime as our wedding day videographer, only 2 weeks ago so we have not yet receieved our video, but he was a joy to work with - super friendly. He even stayed half an hour past the end of the reception while we saw all of our guests out so that he could get a post-wedding comment from my new husband and I for the end of the video. We were very impressed!
GUEST




Let's talk about quality first: Matt Pine and the rest of the Lifetime Video staff are geniuses. What they produce from wedding footage is a pure work of art; they aren't a "Knot Pick" for three years in a row for nothing! Every single video they create brings tears to future brides' eyes. When I sat down with my Mother and Matt, I was totally thinking there was no way in the world we were going to fork over that kind of money just to get a video of the ceremony and reception. Honestly, my Mother and I were just planning on viewing some of Lifetime's work, and then asking Matt for some cheaper recommendations.
Then, we watched one of his highlight trailers. I just about lost it. It could have been playing in a movie theatre. My Mom and I just looked at one another and had an unspoken agreement: this was the man that was going to shoot my wedding.
I am so glad I went with Lifetime. The team was AWESOME! to work with on my big day. They were all so laid back, and I didn't even know the camera was there most of the time. They even captured an incredible shot of my hubby shedding some tears before the ceremony. Now THAT was worth every penny spent.
Kudos to such a brilliant company. They are, by far, the best videographers in the city of Cincinnati. The video that they created will be one of the most cherished keepsakes from my wedding. I love you, Matt Pine and Lifetime!
BOOK THEM. You will NOT regret it!

Matt Pine with Lifetie was the very first vendor we booked, even before the fabulous Ms. Steph Carson (our photographer) his work is really that good. Matt is a visionary and an artist, and his ability to capture the (T)ruth of a moment is unmatched in the videography world. He was my go-to person throughout the planning process for suggestions on vendors and other wedding ideas, and I am incredibly grateful for his recommendations.
If you havent seen Lifetimes work, stop reading this review and visit their website NOW. The work in their blog is STUNNING.
Also, Im actually shocked that Lifetime is still charging as little as they charge. Maybe Im biased from my time in Manhattan, but the quality of work that they provide would easily be worth double or triple their rate here in the city. You Cincinnati gals are getting a steal.
GUEST




A no-brainer for Cincinnati brides! Lifetime was so wonderful to us during the planning process and on the day of. My family was amazed at how un-intrusive the cameras were, but how they seemed to get every shot! We have seen a small preview from our wedding and we are begging for more! Very highly recommend - BRIDES, HIRE A VIDEOGRAPHER!! More importantly, HIRE LIFETIME!
GUEST




We absolutely loved Lifetime Video! We were introduced to them thru my niece whos wedding they did and we were so impressed that we knew we did not want to use anyone else. Matt and Dan were great to work with and our video was an absolutely perfect way to remember my daughter's wedding. They made my daughter's dream wedding something she will be able to cherish for the rest of her life. You do not need to look any further than Lifetime Video if you want something you can cherish for a lifetime!!!!!!!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!!

I had Dan as a videographer for my recent October wedding. I couldn't have been more pleased. I haven't seen the final product yet but as far as his conduct and class, Dan is second to none. I love him!
GUEST




Absolutely incredible artist. We had Matt, the owner and he truly loves his work. He also knows many of the other vendors in the business and works in concert with them. We had a fabulous team. Matt is personable and pays attention to the small details that make the footage a unique memory. He is extremely creative and I wish I had another daughter so I could do this all over again. I plan to hire him for future events. I cannot imagine having an important function without his special touch to capture it all.
GUEST




I Love Matt Pine and his team! My husband and I got married Aug 2nd 2008 at the Hilton Netherlands. Matt did both a slide show of baby photos as well as our wedding video. I know the prices seem daunting when you start looking for Videographers, but Matt is one of the few that I would say is worth MORE than he charges! Our video turned out better than I ever could have imagined. Matt and his team know how to make a bride truly feel beautiful and to capture the little moments that make the day amazing! I would recommend Matt Pine or anyone of his group to any Bride that wants to look back on their day and always feel the joy in it over and over because of how it was captured on film!
GUEST




Dan and Matt, WOW, WOW, WOW!!!! It is so wonderful! I have watched it 3 times so far! I just can�t get enough. My mom is soooo thrilled and happy too! It is such a work of art! I can�t wait to show all the bridal party and the rest of the family! I feel like all I can say is THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!
This is something that we will cherish for our lifetime! Every bride should come to Lifetime Films. You all are so professional. Believe me, any bride I come in contact with, I will tell them they have to use Lifetime Films!
Thanks again for making our day so memorable!

Matt and his team make the best chick flicks that will make you cry happy tears!
Lifetime Films would be a great choice for your wedding event. They are very professional and know exactly what to do in order to capture those moments every bride and groom are wanting in a videographer.
matt is so much fun to work with. Professional and just so talented!
Matt and the whole Lifetime team do an amazing job capturing all of the drama and emotion of a wedding day in a way that still photographs struggle to do. As a photographer, I've worked with dozens of videographers in the Dayton and Cincinnati area and I've seen what there is to see. Matt produces exceptional work on a very consistent basis and knows how to work with a photographer so that both the photography and cinematography are complemented. I highly recommend Matt and look forward to working with him in the future!
Matt Pine and the staff and crews at Lifetime Films deserve Six Stars on a Five Star Scale. We LOVE working with them and I highly recommend their services. When you want the best, Lifetime Films.
Matt and his crew are top notch. Brides love his charm and professionalism. Not having a videographer for my wedding was one of my biggest regrets. Make this experience last by choosing Lifetime to capture one of the biggest moments in your life.

You can't put a price on emotion! Matt Pine and the guys at LIFETIME FILLS are simply amazing. I can't tell you how many times I've teared up seeing their trailers. And I don't even know the people in the video. They're simply amazing, you won't be disappointed!
Lifetime Films is fantastic!!! Matt is very unassuming, so you won't even notice that he is filming. His products are amazing, you will cherish them forever!! Great work ethic, too.

I love the review from Tracie you have highlighted. I don't know that I could say it any better. However, I'll add my two cents as a photographer. I've photographed many couples and been part of many very special moments. But seeing them put to music with Matt's unique storytelling abillity have now three consecutive times on the same video brought tears to my eyes. I was there in person and it affects me now more in hindsight the way it was caputured. True quality Wedding Films are severly undervalued by most couples and it's a shame. As a still photographer i appreciate capturing the moment and the power associated with that. It however does not replace the storytelling ability of video and Lifetime video is proof of that.
Matt and his crew do a fantastic job creating beautiful work for their clients. His film making reflects the love and pure emotion of the wedding day.
We love working with Matt and his team! If you go with Lifetime you will not be disappointed!
The excitement of working with Lifetime Films is beyond words. As a part of Weddings Unlimited's team, I always know the client is in the best of hands. Kudos to you!
we have been working with lifetime for 12 years always a pleasure to work with& their video work speaks for its self brad smith/photosmith
What breathtaking films they make! I have worked with Matt Pine and he is personable, professional and takes great care in making your experience memorable and fun. The end product is stunning and a must have to add to your wedding day!
Matt is completely committed to his craft. He loves his work and his clients benefit from it. I enjoy the opportunity to be on any event with him. Thanks Matt for always being "on" and being a joy to work with.
I have had the honor of working with Matt Pine / Lifetime Video out of Cincinnati and during the reception, their professionalism is impeccable. They aren't in the way, but capture every moment. I can also say that their final product is powerful enough to make this guy cry! After all, a wedding is an emotional celebration...before, during and even after. Lifetime Video has an attention to detail to highlight all those special moments.
Matt at Lifetime Films is a gifted artist who makes wedding day films come alive! His many years of experience allow him to anticipate, down to the smallest detail, everything that MUST be captured so that it can be remembered! I love working with Matt! He is hands down one of the most creative videographers I've ever worked with!!
Working with Matt is a always a great time! The passion he has for creating beautiful, meaningful memories for his clients is contagious. He truly cares for his couples and their families, and it shows in the final product, which usually has people in tears (happy tears of course!). I enjoy collaborating with Matt during the wedding day and having some laughs too!
Matt is professional, creative, and fun to be around! And most importantly, he creates beautiful wedding films that you'll watch over and over.
What can I say about Matt & his staff? I could probably fill an entire page with the glowing reviews I've heard and the first hand experience I have with them. Matt is unbelievably creative, fun & in touch with his couples. Each video reflects the style & essence of the couple & their wedding day. The finished product is brilliant. I haven't come across many videographers so dedicated to their couples. I can't say enough about Matt & his team.
Matt is always professional, and great to work with- and a genuinely nice guy. His work looks great, and I've heard nothing but positive reviews from brides.
We've worked with Matt, Dan and the Lifetime Video team on many weddings and our clients have been nothing short of pleased! They're so happy they cry! I would highly recommend Lifetime Video to a bride looking for a top-notch videographer.
Lifetime video is exceptional! Just watch their videos and compare them with other products. They seem to capture ALL the little moments. It's not just footage of your wedding but it's the emotion of your wedding day. I would recommend them to anyone!
Matt is professional, trustworthy, and turns out an otstanding product. plus he is a lot of fun to have around!
