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.

Matin found us a great secluded area for my fiancé and I to take engagementphotos. 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 just did my engagementphotos when I proposed to my now Fiance. He was amazing to work with, very quick to respond, very professional and so easy to work with. He made the planning behind the scenes so easy for me and I would hire him again in a heart beat. He captured every part of the special day and I couldn’t be happier.

Matin provided well over exceptional work. His photograph speak itself. Outside of the photos, the time and effort he put in with the surprise engagement was amazing. He is very communicative and cooperative to work with on planning the location etc. he went the extra mile and help scout the location leading up to the engagement and help make the appropriate adjustment on the fly. I totally recommend using Matin not just with engagementphotos but with any form of photography needed. 10/10!
