About Me

My obsession with the lens started early. Growing up in Port Moody, I was the kid who was constantly borrowing my parents' camera to document everything around me. What started as a childhood curiosity quickly evolved into a lifelong passion for visual storytelling and a relentless drive to film the world.

Before I moved behind the camera full-time, I spent years on the other side of the curtain. With a professional background in acting and as a performing musician, I developed a natural instinct for rhythm, timing, and stage presence. This history is my secret sauce as a cinematographer. I don't just see a shot; I feel the beat of the moment. Whether I am helping a couple feel at ease during an intimate wedding or editing high-octane footage for content creators, I make sure the visuals hit with the same impact as a live performance.

Today, I’ve traded the suburbs of the Lower Mainland for the rolling vineyards of the South Okanagan, but my work knows no borders. My love for travel takes me wherever there is a story to tell, from documenting the rugged beauty of remote landscapes to capturing the fast-paced energy of global brands. Whether I’m filming a destination wedding in a Penticton winery or a cinematic project halfway across the globe, my goal remains the same: to tell your story with that same sense of wonder I felt holding my first camera years ago.

I believe high-end cinematography should be about the connection, not just the contract. That’s why I offer the Matty P Guarantee, which is my commitment to providing world-class quality and professional storytelling at a price that actually respects your budget.

Let’s make something timeless.
