how it all began

History of TruVision

Matt started TruVision Studios in 2003, after graduating from high school. Originally based in Holt, Michigan, he ran the business while he studied Motion Picture Production at Lansing Community College. The business grew quickly in those first few years and took on a wide variety of projects. Matt produced music videos, TV commercials, corporate projects, and medical and surgical videos. TruVision Studios eventually found a niche in wedding videography, and by 2010 wedding filmmaking had become the primary focus.

Matt got into wedding videography during a revolutionary time and shared a vision with several other young wedding filmmakers around the world. They wanted to bring the techniques and tools of Hollywood to wedding videography. Wedding videography was moving away from just being a long recording of the day’s events, and the vision was to tell deeper, more meaningful, emotional, and entertaining stories! 

In 2017, Matt met wedding photographer, and now wife, Layla. The two decided to take TruVision Studios to another level by adding wedding photography and expanding the team.

Layla carried the same vision for storytelling and artistry into the photography side of the studio. She is constantly perfecting and evolving her style and expanding creatively by attending wedding photography workshops and pushing the entire photo team to the next level.
