    So great!

    Matthey was easy to talk to and made us feel like partners in the creative process rather than just clients. What really set them apart was their willingness to give us the raw pictures, which meant we could edit them exactly how we wanted. Even though we booked them on short notice, they stayed flexible and worked with us. After the wedding, they remained friendly and collaborative, making it feel smooth. We would recommend Matthew to any couple looking for photographers.

    Recommended for your next event!

    We had an amazing experience working with Golden Thread for our wedding. We had a gap between our civil and symbolic ceremony, (our wedding wasn't structured like typical ones) but Matt and his partner were very flexible. They allowed us to feel comfortable when taking photos and helped guide us with poses as my now husband and I are NOT great picture takers lol. Thank you so much!!! We absolutely love our wedding photos.

    Fairytale wedding

    Matt and his team were hands down the best pick I could’ve made for my special day. He communicated with me the whole day and leading up to our wedding. He was transparent the whole time and was open to my crazy ideas. I couldn’t me more happy with the way our photos and video turned out.

    A very happy bride

    We cannot recommend Golden Thread Cinematography highly enough! From the very first consultation, they made us feel completely at ease and genuinely excited about our big day. Their professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail were absolutely exceptional. On the wedding day, Golden Thread Cinematography captured every moment flawlessly—from the intimate, emotional glances to the joyous, candid celebrations. Each photo tells a story, and we are in awe of how beautifully they preserved the essence and magic of our day. Not only are the images breathtaking, but the photographers and videographers' friendly and calm presence made the entire experience fun and stress-free. We now have a collection of memories that we will cherish forever. If you are looking for a wedding photographer/videographer who is talented, reliable, and truly passionate about their craft, look no further. Golden Thread Cinematography will exceed every expectation!

My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 2-4 weeks after your wedding. Within this time, you can also expect to receive a Google drive folder with high-resolution image files, so you can share the photos with your loved ones and order prints through our online gallery.
We are a team of four professionals, able to back eachother up in case of sickness or injury prior to the wedding date. The full team is never booked on a single day to make sure there is always some available to cover.
Yes! We are a team of four offering photo & video with our largest packages included 2 photographers & 2 videographers on your wedding day.
You can expect about 80 to 100 images per hour of photographing. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors.
I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.
Definitely. All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful. I also offer retouching services like blemish removal and teeth whitening for an additional charge.
Typically, couples book me about 12-18 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.
