Matt was very easy to work with. He was receptive to what my husband and I were looking for in our photos, was punctual and very friendly. His easy going nature made our wedding day that much easier and fun. I recommend using him for any event, his personal twist on a traditional shoot is very tasteful.

I'm a wedding planner and my couple absolutely loved Matthew! He was so charming and professional. He answered everyone's questions, always had a kind smile on his face, and even made our camera shy groom relaxed. He listens to your requests, his prices are fair, and is just a joy to work with! The couple just got their photos back the other day and they are thrilled with them, as are their guests. I highly recommend Matthew for any photography needs you may have. I plan to use him for more events in the future.

FAQs

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    When beginning a project with a customer, old or new, I like to sit down and listen to what they're hoping to capture. Everyone has a different vision and varying expectations, so it's important for me to understand what I need to do to make you glad you chose to work with me.

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    I've been taking photos since I was a kid, so photography has always been a passion of mine. But more importantly, I've worked hard to develop that passion into a professional set of skills. I've taken many courses over the years to solidify my grasp of the fundamentals and develop the advanced aspects. Approaching each project as an opportunity to learn something new, or refine a previously acquired skill, has also been a great teacher.

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    I've worked with a wide variety of clients: all the way from national beverage account executives down to close friends. If someone is interested in my style, I'm interested in working with them.
