About Lifetime Video-”making mothers cry since 1991″
Lifetime Video is a group of three teams of highly skilled and experienced videographers providing bride & grooms and their families and friends with artistic and creative video memories of their biggest and most exciting day to date. This is our passion… to take the frenzy and blur of your wedding day and turn it into a cherished memory you’ll actually want to watch. And we’re not the only ones that think that! Not only do our brides rave about our work, but we have been voted “BEST” wedding videographer in Cincinnati an unprecedented three years in a row (2007-2009) by the Knot Magazine! No other wedding videographer in Greater Cincinnati or N. Kentucky has ever accomplished that.

Now, about the three team leaders. Let’s start with Matt Pine, the owner/founder of Lifetime Video and creator of all things Lifetime (the guy on the left in the photo). He started the company in 1991, and has been shooting wedding videos ever since. And if I say so myself, he’s quite good! He runs the day to day operations of the business and meets regularly with clients and potential clients, in addition to regularly shooting weddings. He also keeps his hands dipped into editing to keep himself fresh and express his creativity. You can see some of his work in our Screening Room (once the page loads, click ‘Screening Room’ in the main navigation). Matt’s fort-ay is working with and recommending some on Cincinnati top wedding photographers, but also helping brides and moms with absolutely anything wedding related. Matt says he loves seeing the stress of the day disappear off the bride’s face as she realizes how perfect her day is coming together. “This isn’t a job, it getting to witness and document the greatest day of a young couple lives..is that cool or what? After nearly 20 years I never grow tired of the fun.”
Let’s move on to the other team leaders, Mark Fortner and myself, Dan Shallenberger. Mark’s been with Lifetime Video since 1995 and is practically a legend among his clients. I’ve been with Lifetime Video since 2003 and I’m still working on the whole legendary status thing. Mark and I do the bulk of the shooting, editing and authoring, while I do most of the online work, creating and managing all things web. We’re both tech geeks. Yep, geeks… it’s ok, my wife calls me that all the time. We can talk tech (particularly Apple) throughout an entire ceremony. Except that we don’t. But we could. Anyhow, some may think that geeks can’t be creative. Well, they’re wrong. Our right-brains are so exercised and tuned that creativity sometimes leaks out. Yeah, kinda messy, but it makes for an emotional, beautiful and cherished memory on DVD for you, your new spouse and families. And it’s all because we love what we do.
