Megan A. Sent on 08/22/2023Wonderful 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. -

We loved working with Matt! I haven't really hired a photographer for a professional photoshoots before, so I wasn't really sure how it would go or what the session would be like. Matt immediately made us feel comfortable and at ease and had some really cool and creative ideas for different angles and environments. We drove around to a couple outdoor spots by the beach that Matt suggested and they were really lovely. He also seems to have a natural instinct for how to frame couples (I am almost a foot taller than my wife haha). The finished products came out amazing and I am so pleased to have these honeymoon photos to look back on.
TLDR: The photos turned out *beautifully* and Matt was super easy to work with and had great energy. -

Matt is the best photographer I have ever worked with. My husband is not normally comfortable being photographed and I didn't really have any photos of us together I liked until this photoshoot. For the first time, I have a collection of pictures of us together that I genuinely adore. Our experience has left me absolutely thrilled, and I couldn't be more delighted with the outcome. -

Absolutely a joy to work with, could not have been happier. Matt and his assistant did our wedding April of this year. We had already talked to a couple of people and when we had a chance to chat what he was all about and how he liked to handle photos and what all everything would entail, I felt comfortable leaving it with him and not stressing leading up to the wedding or the day of. We were able to talk through what little bits we might want to add or not include like bridal portraits, types of group photos, key people or points we wanted to capture, how much time we wanted him on site and whether or not we wanted to bring in an assistant. With that he was able to pull up a really well priced contract/quote for everything. Day of, Matt and the assistant were on time, checked in with me to see if there was any updates to anything we'd already chatted about, he went over a few bits about what they were going to be doing and their timing so we were able to make the best use of time. Throughout the event they got some absolutely gorgeous shots that made picking my favorites very very difficult. From the group shots to the ceremony to the reception to the exit, they caught all of the little moments that I'll treasure for a lifetime. 10/10 would recommend to anybody that was looking for a wedding photographer. -

Quality, flexibility, and quite possibly the NICEST guy we've ever met.
We had the pleasure of working with Matt during our vow renewal ceremony in March 2023. What struck us most about Matt was that he is such a kind and respectful person, and we could tell that he was just as invested as we were in making our wedding memorable. Matt is incredibly easy to work with and very personable. It felt more like a good friend was taking our pictures instead of a vendor! We secretly thought that he must have the ability to clone himself because he captured quality pictures from literally every conceivable angle during our 4-hour event! We highly recommend Matt!! -

Matt was on point with every single thing we asked of him! No pun intended!
His attention to detail and listening to us was 10/10!
The day of he made sure to make myself and the wedding party super comfortable; the shots were all gorgeous and not once did we feel awkward!
I was also gifted a boudoir shoot with Matt and every second of it was just pure comfort! He made sure to make me feel right at home and super confident! -

Matt is an incredible photographer to work with. His personality shines brightly, and makes you feel comfortable in the moment. His passion can be seen through his photos, and through the way he captures moments. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone seeking the highest quality in photography. -

Matt is an amazing photographer and excellent listener. I met him through mutual friends and have followed him through his career. I can say without a doubt the best decision I made when it came to hiring him for my wedding photos. He was honest, kind, and flexible. We had some changes to the size of the wedding a couple of times and he just rolled with the changes. They say if he captured over 700+ photos (mind you this was 16 person wedding so the fact we had so many made for a wonderful selection). He gave clear expectations, met with us before the wedding to discuss the details, and got the full 700+ back in two months. He provided 30 ish edited ones in the interim. He really took our vision and made it shine. I think key takeaways are: he’s reliable, flexible, and easygoing— and you cannot beat the quality. Choosing your photographer is so important, and I never regret the money I spent on him. -

Matt is amazing! He was very professional and was able to photograph every aspect of my wedding. The price we paid was for engagement, wedding, and wedding reception photos. He setup and was ready to go very fast and was very knowledgeable about what lighting worked best at different times! You should really hire Matt for your wedding! -

An amazing photographer
My husband and I hired Matt for our wedding! I legit can not say enough amazing things! I’m still insanely obsessed with all my photos! The weather was rainy and dreary and the photos were just breathtaking. Matt was fun and creative! We also announced our pregnancy in our wedding photos and he was really prompt on producing those specific shots for us to share. He is very timely and very easy to communicate with. Matt is really laid back and easy going. He really is amazing at getting all perfect shots so you get the most out of it all! I’m telling you HIRE HIM!!! -
