Throughout his career he has worked to blend vérité filmmaking with a production value those stories and emotions deserve, while never getting in your way. Providing painterly and elegant coverage with an unobtrusive but attentive presence that documents every unique detail is Paul’s goal with every film.

“We could not have asked for a better wedding videographer! From the very beginning, he was incredibly communicative and got in touch within just a day or two of my initial inquiry. He asked thoughtful questions and really took the time to understand what we were hoping to get from our wedding video. Our ceremony was at a Greek Orthodox church, and our reception included many traditional Greek wedding elements. He made a point of asking what traditions, details, and moments were especially important to us so he could make sure they were highlighted. That level of preparation really stood out to us. On the day of the wedding, he arrived early and was completely prepared. He made sure to capture everything we had specifically asked for, along with so much footage that we didn't even realize we'd want until afterward! He and his second videographer were extremely professional and worked seamlessly alongside our photographer. They somehow managed to capture so many details and special moments, yet I barely remember seeing them throughout the day—which, to me, is a sign of true professionals who know how to blend into the background while still getting incredible footage. One of my favorite touches was that before leaving the reception, he made a point of saying goodbye and asking if there was anything else we wanted him to capture before they left. It was such a thoughtful and generous thing to do, especially at the end of such a long day. We received our highlights video within the timeframe he had outlined, and the final product was beautiful. I requested a couple of small changes, and he was incredibly quick, responsive, and accommodating throughout the process. I had never hired a videographer before, and I really wanted to make sure that all of the special moments from our wedding were genuinely captured—not just the big moments, but the little details and memories that we might otherwise forget. He went above and beyond to make sure that happened. From our first conversation through the final edits, the entire experience was amazing, and we are so grateful that he was the one to capture our special day. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding videographer!”

I became indulged in the story-telling of my wedding couples. Being surrounded by the excitement, sometimes nervous couples, and their loving families and friends made the filming such a rush. Then to have the honor to edit a film where their personalities and love shine through is the greatest privilege. I want to take them on a journey back in time to the most epic day where they laugh and cry with all their family and friends. I make films that last the ages. I love to think about how my couples might show their kids or even grandkids someday.

“We had such a great experience working with Trevor from Maloch Media! From the start, he offered a wide variety of package options, making it easy to find exactly what we needed. The team is incredibly easy to work with! They are friendly, professional, and genuinely invested in bringing your vision to life. Communication was seamless the entire time. He was ALWAYS quick to respond, organized, and made the whole process feel stress-free. You can tell he truly cares about his clients and the work he and his team produce. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and would highly recommend Maloch Media to anyone looking for high-quality, reliable, and creative services! Also, if you are reading this, PURCHASE THE WEDDING TEASER!!! WE CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE OBSESSED WITH THAT!!”
