Cody B. says, "I hired Matt to capture candid photos of my engagement, and I couldn't have made a better choice. From the get go he was responsive and thorough, giving me confidence that he was the right guy for the job.
Suffice it to say that there were quite a few variables involved (boat, shot distance, etc.) and on top of that Matt was traveling down the day of from a different city, but his experience and professionalism enabled us to navigate all of these different aspects seamlessly. Matt gave me a call the same day I posted my project and spent 30+ minutes on the phone with me discussing the plan and strategizing. The parts that really stand out in my mind include his thinking ahead to have multiple locations planned out where he could set up for the shot - this came in handy as we were immediately informed upon stepping on the boat that our first option was in a restricted area and we would need to change course. Matt's thinking ahead allowed us to easily adapt by sending a text that we would need to go to plan "B" instead. Another piece I appreciated was his "codified" text messages that he sent regarding his eta at the location and to let me know once he was finally in place. He crafted the messages to look like spam so that my fiance would have no idea that anything was up in the event she caught a glimpse of it on my phone. His approach with the messages was creative and very practical, but also added a bit of levity to the situation as it was a pretty hilarious aspect in recounting the event with others and made it feel like an undercover mission.
I could continue to go on about Matt/ the experience, but I think the highest praise I can give is that I came into the interaction with a very specific idea in mind but unsure of how to make it happen. Matt helped make that vision come to life, and at the end of the end of the day it came out better than I could have hoped for. I'd highly recommend Matt to anyone looking to capture a special moment."See more
