We literally cannot wait to see our video! We can already tell from the level of professionalism and how on point they were for the whole experience that it will be amazing. Matt and his team didn’t miss one important second and captured it all without intruding. I don’t know how they did it so well! Really down to earth people with good hearts and will be a part of our family and will hopefully continue to capture our special moments for life!

I was initially on the fence about having a videographer at our wedding but boy am I glad we did! It was the absolute best investment we made in the entire day. I have a gorgeous, top-notch-quality video that I can replay at any time to relive a day that went by way too fast. Without this professional documentation I wouldn't have the clear memories that I do today. The final product is better/more than I could have ever dreamed of. Absolutely beautiful work that exceeded every expectation I had.

Matt was an absolute pleasure to work with. Not only was he professional, but he was truly interested in us as a couple and in documenting the things that were important to us. Aside from that, he documented all of the details that I would have never thought to ask to be a part of the video. He worked alongside the rest of our vendors seamlessly. He is the best in the local business without a doubt.

"It was the absolute best investment we made in the entire day."

I found The Good Life online and couldn't get enough of their videos. When my husband & I, who had done long distance when he was in the Marines chose to get married in NC I knew I wanted The Good Life. They were so responsive, detailed and listened to everything I had envisioned. We just got our highlight back and I honestly couldn't stop crying. It's the MOST AMAZING work! I can't thank them enough. You won't regret choosing Good Life Film Company honestly!

My husband and I loved working with Matt and The Good Life crew! We met Matt at Courtyards and Cobblestones and were blown away by his work. We knew instantly that we wanted to secure him as our videographer. Each time we talked over the phone or sat down in person, it felt as though we had known each other for years. Matt is incredibly down-to-earth, easy to work with and dedicated to capturing the best footage possible to tell a beautiful story about the wedding day. He was also always timely in his communication (even when he was sick!), professional, thorough and flexible. We could not have been happier with our experience with Matt and The Good Life Film Company and would highly recommend them for any videographer needs for weddings, special events, organizations, initiatives and companies!

Matt and his team at The Good Life Film Company went above and beyond any expectation we had. Matt took the time to get to know my husband and I leading up to the day; learning our style, preferences, and personalities. On the actual wedding day Matt and his team seamlessly blended in with the other guests. They were able to capture irreplaceable moments and in the final product overlay them with elements of spoken words from our ceremony and speeches. Their work will be cherished for years to come.
