Wonderful Experience

I am usually very uncomfortable with having my pictures taken, or being the center of attention - so I was nervous about the photography aspect of my wedding.

I was pleasantly surprised by the whole experience. Once we discussed the vision me& my husband had, I barely noticed Matt was there. He catered the pictures towards what I said I valued, and blended in seamlessly with the background during the wedding event.

He advised on lighting and timing of the pictures when it was appropriate, since it was an outdoor wedding. Both him and his assistant were professional and warm, which put me at ease. I actually ended up having fun through the process!

Quick turnaround for receiving the pictures, and Matt did a great job editing everything to the level that I requested. I enjoy looking back at my pictures and the memories that were captured, and plan to book Matt for future family pictures.

Forever Family Memories

I can’t say enough about how great Matt is to work with. We hired him to document our beach family reunion, and we were also celebrating our daughter’s recent marriage. He came early to work with the newlyweds and suggested a special location for their photo shoot. Later, he was able to coax all of the group, including two collies and several camera shy family members, into both great group and individual photos that we will treasure forever. He did everything we asked for and also came up with great suggestions on the spot to take advantage of the setting and the individuals present. We couldn’t have asked for more.
