Amazing Wedding Photos and Experience

I can’t say enough good things about Matthew Foster Photography! Our wedding photos are amazing, better than we could have even imagined!! Matthew and Liz were a joy to work with. They made us feel relaxed, and we especially loved the candid photos they took! They captured the essence of the day with their photos! Their photography style is so unique and truly magazine quality. Matthew has a keen eye for the right lighting at the right time. He also has expertise with setting sunlight and he uses that natural light to amplify and catch tender moments with stunning imagery. Matthew and Liz move about without being noticed and position themselves for action shots that reflect the evening's fun and festivities. They experiment with light in fun and creative ways -- with alternating lens effects that create an other worldly feel. We highly recommend Matthew Foster Photography for your wedding and reception.

Thank you so much for being the BEST vendor we hired

We had the most incredible experience with Matthew and Liz for our wedding. They somehow were able to make us all look like movie stars while still capturing real moments and genuine emotions. Hiring different vendors for a wedding can be daunting, but I can assure you that if you book with this photography team, you will have one piece of your wedding anxiety lifted. They were quick to respond to me throughout the year leading up to our wedding and helped us feel relaxed/comfortable/& excited throughout the day despite never meeting them in person prior (due to our wedding being a destination wedding); they were absolutely worth every penny. The turnaround time for the photos also was so quick (which was great because I am extremely impatient and nit-picky)!
Per Matt’s expertise suggestion (due to the early ceremony time), we had both Matt and Liz for the morning, ceremony, and portrait sessions and then just Matt for the reception and second line. Despite being one less a photographer for the second half of the wedding day we still got amazing photos. The reception images allowed me to see the parts of the party I missed and our guests at the reception kept saying “your photographer seemed to be everywhere at once!”. If you want your photos to not only be beautiful pieces of art work but also spark memories and emotion, look no further. They are a professional, friendly, experienced, and extremely competent team—you should certainly hire them.

I also had Matt do our engagement photos which were amazing! I have a million great photos from the wedding it's so hard to pick out my favorites! He has such an artistic eye and you will not be disappointed !

Hire Matt and Liz Immediately!

Matt and Liz are a terrifically talented and dynamic photography duo. We would hire them again without hesitation, and would also encourage anyone reading this review to STOP your search, and HIRE THEM! From the planning process to the event itself, Matt and Liz were attentive, accommodating, professional and very comfortable to be around. They captured so many special moments and expressions. We are truly thrilled with all aspects of their work: details, getting ready, first look, wedding and reception photos. They even managed to capture great images of our very large families with speed and ease. Thank you Matt and LIz, you were a fabulous addition to our wedding experience!

Incredible

Matt and Liz were absolutely incredible on our wedding day. They made us feel so comfortable and special and tended to. Little tips they had to help us relax for the photos were fun and helpful. They have a really great energy, and we’re absolutely in love with our photos. 10/10 highly recommend

Photography superhero! Wow, amazing, incredible, professional and fun!

Absolutely in awe of the photos Matt took! We came to Matt because we had an awful experience with our wedding photographer and no good photos from the actual wedding day. For our 1 year anniversary we traveled back to NOLA to re-take our wedding photos and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! Matt is so easy going and makes you feel so comfortable. He directs your poses in the best way and gives you the confidence of a super model! He recreated an experience we thought we had lost out on and my husband and I couldn't be more grateful! I would hire Matt again for anything but especially a wedding! 10 Stars for sure!!!

Phenomenal hands down

Duff/Dolan Wedding: Matt and Liz did absolutely phenomenally on our destination wedding in New Orleans which ended up falling on Sugar Bowl weekend. They were so attentive and fit in so naturally with our group. It was a perfect fit for our occasion. We genuinely had so much fun with them as people and individuals, not just photographers. They felt like part of the gang. Would love to work with them again if I had the opportunity. Can’t recommend them enough!

The best wedding photographers!

Matt and Liz were fantastic. You will definitely get your money's worth!! Matt and Liz shot our wedding a few weeks ago and not only were they super fun the whole day, but we got our pictures back only 3 weeks later. They shot and edited over 1300 pictures. The portraits look like art work and like they belong in a bridal magazine. The reception photos are fun and hilarious and truly capture the essence of the day. Would recommend over and over!

Amazing!!!

I cannot say enough great things about Matthew!! We met Matthew almost 2 years ago. With COVID our wedding was canceled twice but this past April it finally happened. Throughout all that time Matthew stayed in touch and was committed to our date. He was so easy going and flexible which made my life a little less stressful. We had a small destination wedding in NOLA and wanted our pictures to be more spontaneous and non-traditional. Matthew did an amazing job of capturing the essence of our wedding, the special bond we had to each of our guest and all without us even remembering he was in the room LOL We just got our pictures a few days ago, reviewing them brought my husband and I too tears at how amazing they were. Thank you Matthew for sticking with us all this time and for making our magical evening one we will be able to look back on and remember for forever!!

Look no further- Matt and Liz are the best!

Matt and Liz did a FANTASTIC job photographing our wedding. Literally could not have been better.

I would hire them again without hesitation-- here's why you should, too:

- They were just lovely, warm people and brought the kind of energy you want on your wedding day. Liz even helped the groom get his boutonnière on straight.
- They were able to wrangle my family and get the shots we needed quickly and efficiently while maintaining a relaxed, upbeat environment. (And that was challenging! Several family members were REAL late for group portraits and we had to get them done quickly because guests were arriving!)
- I wanted beautiful formal portraits, but I also wanted tons of candids of our guests-- I wanted to see the wedding through their eyes and really remember what it felt like to be there. Matt and Liz absolutely share that vision. They gave me about 1500 images, hundreds of which are of our guests dancing and visiting and laughing and... seriously. It took my husband and me hours to get through them all the first time because we had such a good time reliving everything.
- Matt and Liz are talented artists. They know how to work with the light and gave us a wide array of beautiful, nuanced, interesting portraits. We had the classics, but we also had some really neat, magazine editorial-style shots as well. As I was making our wedding album I really appreciated having so many different options to choose from.

In short, Matt and Liz were everything I had hoped they would be-- they are professional, wonderful people to work with on such an important day. They were easy to communicate with, got our photos back to us super fast, and turned out images I am absolutely thrilled to share with others.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
