Visual Artist | Wedding Cinematographer

Matthew Van Ness, owner of MV Film Productions, LLC has only one thing when it comes to the digital age of wedding and event filmmaking. PASSION. There is no other way of explaining what this visual artist displays for the industry. Van Ness created the business back in the spring of 2007, when still in high school. "I have always loved motion picture media and the idea of capturing moments to replay forever. It's something that has been a part of me ever since I was a child." Matt enjoys creating pieces by going out and filming, editing, and producing what unfolds in front of the camera. "To be honest, I don't like writing and directing films. I'm the type of guy who likes being creative when working in the live environment and having the stress from the idea that anything may happen." He credits is awesome team for helping him produce what you see today.

Matt has had opportunities to capture incredible moments at some of Connecticut's top-notch venues and grounds, With the digital age ever expanding, video/cinema has become one of the leading ways to relive the moments of the past and being able to produce high quality productions is what Matt strives to accomplish.

Matthew graduated from the New England Institute of Art located in the Boston area with a Bachelor's Degree of Science for Digital Video Production and Audio.

He currently resides in Meriden, Connecticut working out of his home-based studio.

Beyond Spectacular!

Matt Van Ness is incredible! I am so glad we decided to hire him because he captured all the amazing moments of our day. He is an artist and a true pleasure to work with. He made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. He sent us a preview/trailer of our wedding video THE NEXT DAY and it was beyond my wildest dreams. I can't stop watching it - it is gorgeous, creative, and captured all the feelings of the day. Do not look any further because MV Film Productions is the best videographer in the area. Choosing him was the best decision we made in our wedding planning!

Speechless

Matt was recommended by our photographer in 2020. We only met with two videographers and, without hesitating, we knew we needed Matt at our wedding. From his remarkable talent, down to earth personality, and dedication to us as clients.. it was an easy decision. We barely made it to the parking lot before deciding we wanted him at our wedding.

While we knew Matt was awesome, he blew us away on our wedding day. He showed up at 8am, and didn’t leave our side until almost 11pm. From drone shots of our church, outdoor shots of the hotel we got ready in, to shots of our wedding reception, he didn’t miss a beat. We gave him a vision and he went above and beyond our expectations. By 7pm the next day, we had a mini film that allowed us to re-live every single moment front the time we woke up until our guest departure.

Matt and his second shooter Max made us feel like we were the only wedding they have ever shot. They made us feel comfortable in moments thah could feel awkward, made sure they were capturing things we envisioned, and overall exceeding our expectations. I have to mention that Matt even went to the front desk of our hotel to get windex to clean the window my wedding dress was hanging on. Our guests couldn’t believe that our photographer and videographer teams were two separate companies that’s how well they worked with one another.

Matt will be a lifelong friend of ours and the main reason why our memories never fade. Putting our gratitude into words is challenging, but we hope he knows how thankful we are. We would highly recommend Matt and his team for your wedding. Thank you Matt and Max, for absolutely everything.
