DEAR LOVER

DEAR LOVER Sydney-Based Video Creator. Specialising in capturing sincere moments between real couples. I want to tell your authentic story!

My name is Matt, and I'm a passionate South African-born, Sydney-based video creator. From the very start of my journey, I was captivated by the power of visual storytelling to capture raw, candid, and heartfelt moments between couples. With each project, I pour my heart and soul into creating a timeless and exquisite representation of the couple's unique love story, allowing them to relive those

precious memories for years to come. With meticulous attention to detail and a deep understanding of the significance of these cherished moments, I take pride in crafting videos that evoke genuine emotions and leave an enduring impression.

A day that didn’t slow down for a second.

Full of energy, laughter, and moments that just kept building.
This one leans into the fun of it all. The movement, the noise, the feeling of being right there in it.

Exactly how the day felt.

March, as it unfolded.

Four weddings - for friends, in a new country, and through word of mouth that keeps travelling.

A Brands vision brought to life, surrounded by the people that made it all possible.

And, in the middle of it all, two years of something that matters most.

A full month, in every sense.
Grateful for all of it.

Dear Lover,

This was never just about creating something beautiful -
but about capturing a feeling.

A curated bridal campaign where every detail, every frame, and every moment is considered.

An expression of our signature: romantic, timeless, and deeply felt.

February Reflections

February brought some beautiful momentum for Dear Lover. We locked in a few more weddings with couples who connected with the heart behind what we do, and it’s always such a privilege knowing we’ll be trusted to capture such meaningful moments in their lives.

This month also gave me the chance to experiment a little creatively. I spent some time testing black and white film, exploring the texture and emotion it can bring to a wedding story. There’s something timeless about it - raw, romantic, and incredibly honest. After seeing the results, I’m excited to begin weaving more of this into future weddings.

One of the highlights of the month was capturing a vibrant Jewish wedding right in the heart of the city. The day was filled with incredible energy, tradition, and celebration - the kind of atmosphere that reminds me why I love documenting weddings so much.

Looking ahead, March is shaping up to be a special one. We’ll be heading across the Tasman to New Zealand to capture a couple of love stories there. Shooting overseas has always been something I’ve dreamed of, so being able to take Dear Lover beyond Australia and document weddings in such a beautiful place feels incredibly exciting.

January, you were good to us.

We welcomed three couples into the Dear Lover story this month. Each one trusting me with a really meaningful part of their day, which I never take lightly.

I moved house and finally set up a dedicated home studio. Having a space to edit, plan, and meet with couples properly already feels like a big step forward.

I bought my dream lens after having it on my list for a long time. Excited to bring a new look and feel into the films this year.

1,000 Dear Lover Handbooks were printed for upcoming wedding expos. The first one is this weekend at Wedding Expo Australia at Royal Randwick Racecourse - keen to finally get these into couples’ hands.
