Matin was amazing to work with. He made my proposal easy and even suggested the place where I do it. He was an amazing photographer and the poses he had me and my fiance do came out incredible. I can’t recommend this guy enough!

Matin found us a great secluded area for my fiancé and I to take engagement photos. Was able to turn around our photos quicker than we thought possible. Got engaged Sunday, inquired on Monday, scheduled photos for Tuesday, by Wednesday afternoon had over 120 edited professional shots in hand!

Matin did an amazing job capturing my engagement and made the entire experience stress free from start to finish. He was incredibly helpful with coordinating the proposal and even suggested a beautiful location that ended up being perfect for the moment.
During the proposal, he did a great job capturing everything naturally while still staying out of the way. The photos turned out fantastic and really captured the emotions of the day. On top of that, he delivered the photos with a very quick turnaround.
I highly recommend Matin to anyone looking for a photographer for a proposal or special event. He was professional, helpful, and a pleasure to work with.

We had an absolutely incredible experience with Matin during our vacation in Carlsbad! From the very beginning, he was highly responsive, punctual, and incredibly professional. What truly set him apart, though, was his dedication to customer satisfaction. When the first batch of photos didn't come out quite the way we had envisioned, he was incredibly understanding and gracious. Without hesitation, he actually drove back out to our resort three days later to retake the photos just to ensure we were completely happy with the results. The new photos are beautiful, but his outstanding customer service is what we’ll remember most. If you need a vacation photographer who truly cares about his clients, look no further! Highly recommend.
Details: Family or children's portrait • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Artistic (focus on composition, lighting) • Outdoors • My home, venue, etc.

Matin was such a pleasure to work with! He was very responsive and easy to get a hold of and so kind. On the day of my husbands and I wedding he was on time and immediately knew what to do and started capturing our special day! He took so many great photos and shot such beautiful moments that will forever be cherished! It was my first time hiring a photographer and Matin made the experience so great and smooth! I highly recommend Matin as your next photographer.(:
