If you or someone you know is getting married this summer, and wants an incredible wedding video to capture the day, you need to know about Hyline Media.

Hyline Media is run by Matt, a Montana native and MSU grad who specializes in wedding films that feel cinematic, emotional, and true to capturing your special day.

Matt focuses exclusively on video for weddings, giving his full attention to telling your story through movement, sound, and feeling, so you can relive the laughter, nerves, vows, and dance floor chaos long after the day is over.

He’s currently booking wedding video dates for this year, so if you’re looking for someone who can do a fantastic job, now’s a great time to reach out!

You can see his work on Instagram at @hyline_media and inquire on his website here.

(Outside of weddings, Matt also offers photography and videography for brands, real estate, families, and more!)
