We hired Matt to shoot a variety of different groups and poses at our family reunion. We were incredibly impressed with his professionalism and quality of his work - everyone in our family loved the pictures. Matt made the drive (hours) out to our family ranch to do this. Further, he was extremely responsive with questions we had. Lastly, Matt was very enjoyable to be around and patient as we had a very large group that was hard to wrangle at times. In summary, I would highly recommend Matt for all of you photography needs.

One of the hallmarks of a good party is the event photography and the story that a quick snapshot tells after an event is over. Vitae Photography, Matthew, brought my mother’s 70 birthday celebration photos to life. My family’s event photos exude good vibes, good energy, and a good time. My event photos have great composition, captured emotion, and captured a unique perspective of the party. During the initial consultation with Matthew, I communicated the importance of blending bursts of color that would unify the guest to the party venue. Matthew used a hybrid of Cinematic, Traditional and Candid photography along with the perfect lighting to capture amazing shots!!! I highly recommend Vitae Photography. You will not only receive beautiful photos, but you will also work with someone who has good business acumen and on-time delivery of services. Thank you again, Chatammour

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My prices may not be the lowest but my service is some of the best. Each session has professional editing worked into the price, as well as access to an online gallery for life.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I always talk with any client over the phone to see what the goal of their session is. If I know what you are looking for I can gauge what equipment to bring and what to look for. After we speak and the session is complete I will edit the images and post them in an online gallery.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I studied fine art at UT Arlington. I then moved on to work at a local camera shop for 3 years. Then I taught commercial photography for 7 years. While working in those industries I also photographed weddings and portraiture.
