About Us



Matthew, Jamie, Marianna, Daniel - The Players

Believe it or not, Absolute Productions and Media is a small company consisting primarily of two people; myself, James and my wife, Marianna. While we do have a few select people who work with us, we typically film and edit 99.9% of what you see here on our website.

Our background with wedding video is certainly not glamorous. In all truthfulness our passion for our work started with unfortunate events related to our own wedding video.

In 1998 Marianna and I were married. Unfortunately, like so many weddings, video was not a high priority item on our list of things to have, but we did have a friend that knew of a company that provided cheap wedding videos so we arranged for them to cover our wedding

On the wedding day the guy arrived and had cameras, so we thought all was well. However, after the wedding day passed we quickly learned that something was amiss.

The problems began with not being able to get in touch with the guy and this continued for 6 years!! YES, YEARS!!

Around the 6 year mark, we were finally able to obtain the video but much to our dismay it was horrible. Although they had multiple cameras, the wedding video that got back to us was only one angle, and that angle truly didn’t show anything. The audio was non-existent and you could only hear distant mumblings, sneezes and coughs from inside the sanctuary.

We watched it once and threw it in a box to be stored in the attic. How horrible, considering this could have been a precious keepsake!

While normally this would be the end of the story it was only the beginning of ours. We had seen quite a few other friends’ wedding videos. A few of them were nice and showed us what an awesome preservation of a special moment we missed out on, but on the flipside a majority of the videos we saw, quality was absent, just as in our case.

Then and there our passion and desire to produce great wedding videos was lit.

By realizing what we missed out on it forces us to new levels of creativity purely out of the desire of wanting every couple we work with to be floored at the quality and long term emotional value of the video that they receive from us. While creating and watching the videos we produce, we can’t help but wish we had something of equal quality to show our boys so they could see and hear us on our wedding day.

Thanks for reading about us. We hope you enjoy watching clips on our website and if you are looking for someone to produce a high quality video of your wedding, please contact us. We would love the opportunity to speak with you about our wedding video packages and to see if we are available for your wedding date.
