The Elm Creative

Where creativity and marketing intersect

Elliot Kennedy

I graduated from Northern Michigan University with a degree in Digital Cinema and a minor in Marketing. Post graduation I’ve worked as a real estate photographer and have worked on my own freelance projects.

My passion for video and photo comes from a desire to tell stories that aren’t being told. Whether that be an amateur climber finishing their project for the first time or helping a small business tell their unique story.

When I’m not grinding behind a desk you can find me catching waves on the Great Lakes, climbing rocks, and documenting it all.

Matthew Hill

I graduated from Northern Michigan University with a degree in Digital Cinema. Since then, I have used my degree to build @matthew_hill_creative , a wedding film business. While I love weddings, I wanted to be able to use my skills in different ways. @elliotjkennedy and I decided to start a business that focuses on video content for businesses. I have a passion to help others be successful and if I can do that with my video skill than that’s even better!

I am married and have a four year old daughter. We love hiking, biking, and playing at the park. You can also find me some weekends at the paintball field playing paintball as a part of the UP’s 906 Army team.
