Secret Fire Media

es and wedding day. He and his team made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and delivered the photos and video very quickly! We LOVE everything we received and could not have asked for a better team to shoot our wedding!

ure out a package that fit what we were looking for. We just received our photos and wedding video this week and I can't stop checking them out! Any other couples who are on the fence about video, hire Mat, you won't regret it!

her stuff throughout the entire day. The video and drone footage was of such high quality, the highlight video was so elegantly put together and even after all this - Matt put together something special at our request. Matthew, we want to thank you so much for not just being the videographer, bur for being truly apart of our wedding party. You did an amazing job and we absolutely recommend everyone booking you. I know we will be using you again. If you're ever in Long Island, please reach out and we will grab a drink!!! Thanks again and cheers!

k while we live in Illinois. Matthew made himself available the couple of times we were in town visiting the Academy. We appreciated his professionalism! Matthew did a wonderful job the day of the wedding! He took all our requested photos and the video captured all our beautiful memories! Calling all future West Point brides if you are in the market for a photographer contact Matthew!

d out. We initially booked an engagement shoot to see if we worked well together and Matthew went above & beyond. The photos were BEAUTIFUL! He touched base in the planning process to ensure everything was ready for our special day. Everything was timely, organized and truly beautiful. We can't say enough about Matthew and his work, he's insanely talented!!!

to the wedding day. He arrived early on the day of and was able to get more photos than what we had originally planned and was so great with the speed in which he flew through photos so we could enjoy our cocktail hour. He captured everything we wanted and more and we couldn’t be more happy to have him not only as a part of our wedding day, but to have him as a part of our lives forever! We cannot get enough of Matthew and Barry’s photo and video expertise as we continue to relive our wedding day through their art! We received our videos and photos via download exactly 2 months after our wedding, with a little Instagram teaser thrown in the middle! About 1 month later we received this beautiful box containing our DVDs, USB, a super thoughtful card and even a candle! Even after the wedding, Matthew continues to impress me! Thank you doesn't even begin to cover it…we love you!

easy, but they were there to create a movie with all the highlights that made the day memorable! Don’t hesitate in booking for your video memories, because it’s a valuable video of a day you should never forget, and to have video memories of the day and people who were there to share in it, some of which no longer here with us today. In addition, they helped over 100 guests attend in the ceremony via zoom. It was so important to have this component available because of the restrictions at the time to only allow a 50 person guest list.

ia. I AM SO GLAD WE DID!! As the bride, the day is a blur and goes by so fast, I am sooo grateful to have that footage of the day to look back on and really cherish. He did a lovely job with shooting and editing our video, making sure we could relive the best parts of the day. Overall, working with Matthew was really easy start to finish and he worked with us through some major plan changes.

background, exactly how we wanted but still managed to get some amazing shots. We love our Highlight Video and can't thank Secret Fire Media enough!

rovide us with the most wonderful memories from our wedding that will last a lifetime. He was professional, quick to respond, and overall a lovely human. THANK YOU!

D to keep forever!

d package and felt it was a great value. Highly recommend!

day and gave us amazing direction during the formal photos and blended into the background during the reception. Also the photos, THEY WERE GORGOUS!

greatest due to circumstances but we addressed those and made Matt aware we were concerned. He was great with day-of planning, on our wedding day and we got out video when promised. He kept us up to date as to when our video would be ready and sent in the mail. Additionally, followed up to make sure we received our DVD. I asked for a minor change in out highlight video and am only just waiting for that :)

off Matthew was in the grass while it was raining trying to capture only the best pictures!! Definitely recommend!

y upset that I didn’t have any edits of our special day, and secret fire media worked with me to take that raw footage and create something beautiful!!! His editing, visual creativity, and just everything is AMAZING! Not only did he do this for us but he turned it around in less than 2 weeks!!!!! I am so unbelievably grateful!!!! He has fantastic pricing and to be honest i wish I found him prior to our wedding so I could have booked with him. If you are looking for a videographer who is trustworthy, great at what they do, and great pricing, I highly recommend them!!!!!

n we couldn’t get them in. Matt has been nothing but freaking amazing and I cannot recommend secret fire media more. My family loved him and raved over how amazing he was he even helped out with my dj when our wedding coordinator didn’t show up. HE IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING . Cj and I cannot thank him more than enough . Our videos to photos are gorgeous and like I said we cannot thank him enough. Please book secret fire media !! They do not disappoint ❤️

like we were living it all over again (tears and all)! I cannot recommend Secret Fire Media enough. We planned our wedding in a little less than two months, not many vendors would be up for that challenge. Matt and his team were extremely professional, knowledgable and just great to work with! Thank you guys so much for capturing our day. <3

neither could I. In the contract, it said I would get the footage back 8 weeks after my wedding, yet it took 5 months to get it from him. After the 8 weeks passed, he didn't respond to my emails, and it took months to hear from him. Excuse after excuse. The cheap price is not worth the stress. Hire someone else.

and scheduling is hard to work with! He does not timely respond to emails or phone calls. My media was due on 9/23/22 and he has been ignoring my emails and call prior to the due date, and now! I have not seen any of my photos or videos! I am calling 3x time a day to see if he picks up, or even respond to my email. Nothing! NOT WORTH IT!

re also super fun and comfortable to work with! They are a fantastic team who worked effortlessly to help make our wedding a dream come true! Matt sent over "sneak peak" photos within a few days of our wedding and they turned out beautifully! We can not wait to see the rest! Additionally, they are a reasonably priced company that delivers top-notch results!

most special moments, and did so in a way that felt natural--we never felt awkward, in fact, he blended so well and sneakily that you didn't even remember the camera was on you! We can't wait to see the finished video :)

we came across Matthew from Secret Fire Media. We decided to use him as our videographer and are so happy we did. The day of our wedding it was as if Matthew wasn’t even there, he was able to blend in seamlessly and capture all of our important moments. When we received our videos it was like replaying the best day, and they videos themselves came out absolutely beautiful. If you’re on the fence, do it!

re they got the best shots! I appreciated that Matt had a vision and was able to coordinate all of our pics quickly and effectively. If you are uncertain, just book with them, you will definitely be happy that you did!!

n time and ready to work. Matt was involved and captured all parts of our day beautifully. Additionally, the prices Matt presented were reasonable and absolutely in our budget. At first we weren't planning on hiring a videographer but we are so happy we did! We cannot wait to see the footage from our special day! Thank you Matt for making our dreams come true! =)

ance that used them for their wedding & trusted the recommendation. I had 2 months left to my wedding as my previous photographer fell through. I left a great review for them after our wedding, but now that I’ve gotten all of my photos & videos, I had to update. Matthew is very slow at responding to calls/emails & he would not return calls/emails for days on end. We live overseas & wanted to live stream our ceremony for our family abroad. Matthew says we ran behind schedule so he did not have time to properly set up the equipment. We had 2 photographers, so if he took the time to set up the live stream, we would have managed just fine with the other photographer. But Matthew did not test the sound or camera position so the first 2 minutes of our live stream has absolutely no sound, & he didn’t start recording until my bridesmaids walked down the aisle, completely missing my husband & no sound until I got to the chuppah. The videographer also missed part of the aisle, not getting my husband, or him putting the vail on me, which is a Jewish custom & something we spoke about before. We hired 1 photographer & 1 videographer, but the week before Matthew added another photographer at no cost. It was a wonderful addition that we did not ask for but a shame that important moments were still missed. Matthew gave us a day of schedule & said he would amend it to include the 2nd photographer. I never received this new schedule. I emailed him 3 days before the wedding, but I never heard from him until he showed up at the venue on the day. Another missed photo was our entry way (seating chart, photo booth, etc). I think those shots are pretty standard. For video, there was no footage of the ketubah signing but there were photos. Where was the videographer? We walked down the aisle right after this so the fact that he missed the signing & part of the aisle was concerning. When I got my photos, there was 1 major shot of the whole bridal party in front of the venue but 2 of the people in the photo weren’t ready. He kept saying it was against policy & all to share all photos with me & stated that he gets the final say in which moments are shared of the big day. I expressed concern of 2 photos - family in front of the venue & another of my sister & niece as my niece’s eyes were closed. Matthew said he can’t share other shots with me regardless of my disappointment. I may have misunderstood the meaning of Raw Files, but all I asked about were 2 photos in particular, as they both were clearly not the best photos. After much back & forth he finally gave in & sent me other shots of the group photo & these shots were better than the 1 shot he shared with me. The 1 of my niece he edited sloppily to open her eyes & the photo didn’t improve. I was upset that photos of key people in the wedding only had one shot. For the few missed shots, he offered a $200 refund. We then spoke about this refund for over a month before he finally sent over the $200. Overall, they were affordable & did take beautiful photos. But they missed some key moments that were previously discussed & important to us & we cannot get those back. He could also really improve with communication as you do have to follow up a lot.

les and worked very well with our photographer. We are excited to get the final video!

raphy they also offer great options such as drone video. I think it would have been such a cool touch however our venue would not allow the drone. Barry was our videographer and he was absolutely fantastic. He was so respectful and we got along great. He made the entire thing a very smooth process. After the wedding we received the video very quickly and it was so good. They did a great job.

mmend Secret Media Fire for their professionalism and also for the price!!! Thank you Andrew!!

ng would go smoothly. I haven’t received my video yet, but I have so much trust in Matt and can’t wait to see what he creates for us. He was so patient the day of and I know he got some good shots. During these crazy times, it’s so important to have trustworthy vendors. Matt was on time and ready to work. I highly recommend using him as your videographer!!

ot only did he happily do it but he did it so fast! He was very affordable and gave us the memories we were looking for for our special day. I would definitely use him again!

he highlight video so quickly was an added bonus!

ut Amazing and brought tears to our when I first saw it online. Highly Reccommended!

y, but Matt and his videographer were so good at blending in throughout the reception and wedding day. Would Highly recommend!

work until now. Matt was local to us and our venue, kind and communicative, and captured our big day in a way I didn't think was possible. We requested that he capture drone footage of our venue, and the resulting video was spectacular. When life finally allowed for us to view our wedding footage, we noticed that the ceremony had a glitch in the video. We promptly reached out to Matt, who then sent us a replacement copy of our ceremony DVD, as well as provided us with a digital copy. His kindness and availability to do this for us 2 years after our ceremony is unforgettable. I will always be thankful that we chose Matt and Secret Fire Media to capture our special day :)

ything looked amazing!

received our photos it looked straight out of a fairytale! Couldn't have asked for anyone better to capture those moments!

ch is exactly what we wanted. The wedding video was amazing. We are so hapy with everything. Thank you!!
