A True Artist

My fiance and I had originally planned to get married in Ireland but after the Covid pandemic, we switched gears quickly and decided to plan a Manhattan wedding with only a few months notice. We found Matthew Sowa online after doing some research and were blown away by the quality of his work that we saw on his website and social media outlets. He was kind enough to meet with us ahead of time via FaceTime to discuss the details of our wedding day. On the day of our wedding he arrived 15 minutes early, with his assistant, and got right to work. He was completely hands-on, rearranging furniture and such in order to capture the best pictures he could in the space provided. He captured not only the first look with my father in an authentic way, but the emotion on both of our faces. He then sent me those photos on Father's Day, even though the rest of the photos were not edited yet, so that I could share them with my Dad! I knew after about 30 minutes with Matthew that we made the best decision hiring him. The pictures that he captured from our big day are pieces of art. He does incredible work with lighting and is able to capture moments in a way I have never seen before. Everyone at our wedding was also raving about him and wanted his contact information! He also made sure to get one of my most wanted shots perfectly (church exit with flower petals) and was clear with directions to the guests in order to execute it properly. His directions and prompts for photos were clear and direct. My husband and I are already brainstorming when we can hire him again for a future event!

I cannot express just how pleased my husband and I are with  Matt's photos.  We just received our full wedding photo set a few days ago and are is awe of the one of a kind talent that is Matt Sowa. He was able to capture every magical moment and emotion of our special day and in such a raw, beautiful, edgy and artistic way. He was also an absolute pleasure to work with,  extremely professional,  and personable.  I highly recommend him and his team and plan to work with him again on any upcoming special events.
