    The photographs of our engagement session came out great. Matt has been incredibly professional and easy to work with throughout this process. Not only has he proven a great resource, but he is incredibly flexible (our first location for the engagement shot was closed due to the triathlon, but Matt was able to change to a new location that morning and already had ideas for pictures). We are looking forward to seeing the photographs from the wedding!

    Matt takes great shots and is very flexible and easy to work with. He also has a great eye. I will definitely recommend him to my friends.

    While Matt was capturing photos on our wedding day, we both couldn’t help but think, “He’s great to work with, and seems like he really knows what he’s doing- but how will the photos look?”

    Now that we have them, all we can say is, “THANK YOU!!!!”

    Matthew is an excellent photographer, totally beyond my expectation. I am so glad to have him as our wedding photographer. I am from Hong Kong, and my husband is from Taiwan. In respect of our cultural background, we decided we want to do a mix of traditional Chinese and contemporary American wedding.

    On our wedding day, he came fully loaded with professional gears, traveled with us to 4 different locations to take pictures for door games, 2 Chinese tea ceremony, outdoor park pictures, 1 American ceremony and Chinese reception. Our wedding was a really busy day. Matthew stayed fully energetic the whole day, had some interesting posing ideas, and also he was open-minded & flexible to do whatever & however we want. He even didn't mind to stay longer outside of the contract hours to make sure every photo we wanted were all covered & taken; he wanted all his clients/customers happy & satisfied. :) Moreover, he thinks outside of box, I was amazed when I saw him bringing a step ladder when we did the traditional chinese table greetings and group pictures. That way, he could have more guests and more actions taken in the picture. His passion was on fire during my wedding reception even some of my friends ask me where I get him.

    Before we came back from our honeymoon, we got email from him that all our wedding photos are ready. It was unbelievable, in less than a week, and we were provided with about beautiful "2,000 photos" from our wedding day. He gave us all digital negatives, every good photo he took from our wedding days. That is one of our best gifts we got after we came back from honeymoon, took us hours to look through all wedding photos. I love all my wedding photos, and I would highly recommend Matthew to people looking for wedding photography services. He is so open-minded that he can work around with people from different background with different wedding traditions. And, he even can speak a little bit of Chinese too. :)

    Matt's team coverage was fantastic! They were professional and easy to work with. He was quick to reply to requests I made for detail shots.

    Photos looked great, even though it rained. Matt was able to capture our rather spontaneous first kiss, and helped us to look our best, just like we asked him to. I was really surprised by the ring shots- they looked like they had been taken for an advertisement!

    Matt is an incredible photographer! Not only are his skills as a photographer flawless, but his professionalism is outstanding. He's has tons of suggestions for fun photographs and willing to incorporate important shots that I request. He's been generous enough to walk through each location and meeting with us multiple times, while always being professional and creative. He has made himself constantly available with prompt responses to any and all questions. Matt has been great to work with every step of the way!

    We hired Matt for a photo shoot off the beaten path.
    We are glad we did this. Matt loves the outdoors. He is not afraid
    to get dirty (while we stayed clean) to get a better shot. He is
    very enthusiastic. He has a keen eye for good shots, like a fallen tree
    or the sun shining just right through a bunch of leaves. He also has
    a sense of humor and is very professional. Love his work and the
    final outcome. I recommend him to all my friends.

    Matt was extremely helpful, was able to adapt to our "go with the flow" personalities and managed to get some amazingly beautiful shots. AWESOME! We are thrilled with our photos and Matt's amazing customer service.

    Thanks Matt - Bridgette

    Govt. shutdown (and my resultant "vacation") could have me down... unless I chose to look over my wedding pix, which reminds me that I ought to be saying "Thank You" to Matt for having shot them.

    Great job, Matt- thanks for the memories and great service!

    Matt's photos turned out great! He was punctual, captured both lots of great candids and the "gotta-gets" after our ceremony. I especially liked the fact that he made our venue look better than it really was.

    Originally, I was going to go with an "affordable" (less than $1k) photographer. But my Mom insisted that I and Brian choose someone with experience. This may be a one-time exception, but we're both glad for her "meddling".

    Matt provided an onsite consultation at no charge, and was willing to accept the numerous examples of images I liked from my Pinterest. He was respectful to my church's request to capture the ceremony without causing a commotion. We particularly liked his sense of humor- it was an added bonus!

    Matt was great! The day of our wedding was extremely hot and we were outside for most of the shots. He did a wonderful job trying to work around the blazing sun and heat. The end result was awesome--if you love candid shots and photojournalistic style, Matt is your guy!!

    As far as communication, I was so impressed. With the pros the vendors call the week of and Matt called nearly every day to see if there was anything else that I had thought of. He was also very creative--loved it!!

    I would definitely recommend him.

    Matt was one of the many vendors I enjoyed working with. He even offered practical tips on how to make The Day go more smoothly. But most important of all, we now have images to remember it all.

    I still can't believe that all went as planned... but when I look at our photos, I know that it did.

    Matt did a great job with our wedding photos. He was very professional, prepared, and responsive. He listened to what we wanted - a balance of candid and staged photos - and we were very happy with the results.

    Before our wedding Matt went out of his way to meet with my at the ceremony and reception locations so that we could go over what would be good spots for photos and what I had in mind. On the day of the wedding Matt showed up promptly at the time indicated and immediately began to take photos. We got great shots of me getting ready and amazing shots of the ceremony. During the reception he did a wonderful job of getting candid shots of all our special guests as well as us. We were a little disappointed with the lack of bridal party shots we were able to get between the ceremony and reception. Most of this was because of limited time we had slotted between the venues but part of it was because of set up. I wish that Matt had an assistant with him to help with that.
