Matthew did an amazing job. His photos were beautiful and he provided such a variety of poses and locations. I would love to work with him again given the opportunity.

I got married on 11-19- 2016, and Matthew Rood was my photographer. I honestly couldn't be happier with making this decision to hire him. He was professional yet had a friendly air about him. My husband, mind you, hates taking pictures,but Matt was able to make him feel relaxed/comfortable and guide us both through the process to get the best and most natural looking photos. Also at the Reception, he was ALWAYS WHERE I NEEDED HIM TO BE. He captured all the perfect, beautiful, and funny moments! I could rave on about my satisfaction, but I will just end this with saying, if you need a photographer for any occasion Matt is the one your looking for.

Matthew is a fantastic photographer that really took the time to shoot some professional headshots with some candid portraits for our family owned property management company. He was given the gist of what we needed captured and his creative energy filled in the rest. Matthew is extremely genuine as I learned that he also donates his time to a senior organization photographing the aged population in creative ways to provide them with extremely cherished momentos. Matthew is a fantastic photographer and provided above and beyond our expectations.

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.
