About

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.

The BEST! So professional, creative, and beautiful

Highly recommend booking MV Film Productions for your wedding! Matthew and his team were so professional and accommodating and their work is incredible. The second that Matt sent our video over I forwarded over to my family and friends and the feedback we got back was amazing- so many people said they were moved to tears from watching. His attention to detail and creatively is one of the best I have ever seen. So happy that we booked him for our wedding!

Matt is a Genius

I highly recommend MV Film Productions! Matt was incredibly responsive, so wonderful to work with (my other vendors said as much as well!), and is so incredibly talented. He said he would be a fly on the wall the whole day, and he and his 2nd shooter really were. We loved spending time with them, but as promised, we didn't feel like we were being filmed or being hovered over. The final product was so amazing and so perfect as well! Matt has such an eye for detail, and he gifted us such a wonderful video to look back on for years to come. Watching the film was like reliving the day, and it was so wonderful to be able to enjoy it all over again and to see moments that I previously had been unable to.

Matt - thank you SO MUCH for you hard work, attention to detail, and kindness throughout the months leading up to our wedding and on the actual day. We were so happy that you were able to be with us to perfectly capture our day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
