Words cannot say how pleased we are with Matt and
Sandy’s superb work! Here is our story: Vincent and I were engaged at
the stroke of midnight as we rang in the New Year of 2009. Two weeks later,
we decided to get married on Valentine’s Day (2009). All of our wedding
plans were falling in line quite nicely however, I noticed that booking the
videographer/photographer was one of the last tasks on our “to do list”
that still needed “doing”. So, with Valentine’s Day fast
approaching, my loving fiancé, Vincent (now husband) researched the
best video-photographers in the area and surrounding areas, and then told
me all about Matt and Buerhaus Design. Vincent felt most confident about Matt,
over all the other video-photographers, so with only 3 weeks ahead of us,
we booked him! Now, let me tell you what a day with Matt and Sandy was like.
While I waited in the limo, Matt hopped into the limo driver’s seat,
introduced himself and Sandy, and the n said, “Pretend we’re not
even here”. He th en began videotaping and snapping photos. What I immediately
noticed about Matt just then, was his energy. He had such an electric energy
that surrounded the entire limo, which immediately made me feel at ease. Meanwhile,
Sandy was capturing photo shots from outside the limo.
Throughout the ceremony we mostly caught just glimpses of Matt and Sandy.
They were always on the go and ready to catch every possible shot, and speaking
of catching shots… I can’t forget when I was upstairs checking
myself out in the mirror when in the reflection, I saw this beautiful white
cat (It looked like a Persian cat) just sitting contently in the chair behind
me, and watching me get ready. I happen to love cats, so naturally I walked
toward it to try to pet it and maybe try to kiss it on the nose. I think the
swishing of my dress is what scared it out of the chair and down the stairs.
This is when I saw a side of Matt that made me think he was either crazy in
love with photography or just plain crazy. I could tell that he must have
been just as excited about the cat as I was or maybe more, just by the way
he scurried to get a shot of that cat before it ran down the stairs. I did
not suspect that Matt would go after that cat like he did, but he did, and
it made me laugh to witness Matt’s exuberant passion for capturing great
photo and video moments. I t was a fun and relaxing moment.
After the ceremony, Matt and Sandy clearly communicated to us, how they wanted
us to pose. We were never left wondering what to do next. Matt got creative
with the poses and made our after ceremony photo/video sessions spontaneous
and fun.
As far as the video and video service, the video quality is excellent, and
we are really pleased with Matt’s artistic touch. Plus, we love the
cinematic style. Furthermore, Matt is a fine person to do business with and
truly wants you to be happy. If you are unsure about hiring a video-photographer,
this is a part of the wedding you don’t want to leave out. The wedding
day goes by fast and you will be glad you got it all on tape. The two of you
can then enjoy the memories whenever you want for the rest of your lives,
and your kids and grandkids can too. Thanks Matt and Sandy for capturing such
beautiful memories and for bringing tears of joy and laughter to our home!
We love you!!
Linda and Vincent

P.S…We just wanted you to know that our nieces and nephews really got
a kick out of seeing their names in the video credits. I think they felt like
movie stars!
Peace, love and blessings,
