Matt Garofalo
Hello! I’m Penny, the wife and other half behind Carnation Films. I’m a Kent State Alumna with a degree in Business Administration. Go Flashes! A few things about me, I love animals, am a bit of a design nerd, and travel is on my mind 24/7. There’s really nothing I enjoy more than a full tank of gas and the open road with my favorite people. Spending my days with Matt hiking, being homebodies, eating good food, and planning our next spot to explore is pretty much the best.
My name is Matt, I’m exactly one half of the Carnation Films team. The other half is my wife and best friend, Penny. When I’m not filming, editing, or administrating, you can find me hiking with Penny and our dog, Halle. I also enjoy trying new craft beers, a good Netflix binge, and making silly jokes. Oh and I make a mean guacamole.
Make friends, films, and Memories.

Matt and Penny Garofalo Pittsburgh Wedding Videographers
When we started dating one thing was for certain, we knew that we never wanted to be apart. We eloped in Cuyahoga Valley National Park back in 2018 and since then we've developed a passion for wedding and elopement videography. The two of us are inseparable and being able to work together telling love stories is truly our greatest pleasure in life. We really enjoy taking our pup, Halle, for walks through the woods and being bossed around by our cats, Doug and Momo. We love cozy days in bed or on the couch watching tv or playing one of our favorite childhood video games. No matter what, every day that we spend together is the best day ever.
It's all about the journey, not the destination.
