Perfect for our winter wedding

Matt and Kendra were the photographers for our wedding back in February in Rochester, MN and let me tell you... these two rock! We were very picky when choosing vendors and their style perfectly matched what we were looking for. They made photos a fun and exciting part of our day. They captured our ceremony and reception just how we wanted it and we hardly knew they were there. The pictures turned out beautifully and we could not be happier. These are two of the nicest people you'll ever meet and I guarantee that you will not regret choosing them. We can not thank them enough!

Summer street

We were so lucky to have Kendra and Matt involved in our wedding day! Prior to the event, I was very nervous about planning around several complex family relationships during photos, and Kendra very generously spent significant time on the phone with me workshopping ideas for how to make the day go smoothly- and it was successfully drama free!
Unfortunately Kendra and Matt had to send in substitute photographers for our wedding day- for a reason totally out of their control - but thanks to the extensive notes and their excellent choice in substitute photographers, the experience was seamless and the photos turned out wonderfully.
Kendra and Matt still did the post-processing on our photos, and we were really grateful that they were willing to send a few photos early so we could use one on our thank you card. They provided us a huge gallery of amazing photos, every time we look through it we remember another priceless moment. They were also very helpful in getting us some last minute edits just in time for us to take advantage of Black Friday shipping deadlines. Thank you for everything Kendra and Matt!!

Love them!

We were married in July 2018 so this is embarrassingly late, but: Hiring Summer Street Photography was one of the best choices we made for our wedding. Kendra and Matt came recommended from another wedding photographer I know who said they had the storytelling, unposed, light-filled vibe we were looking for. We planned our wedding from afar, but Kendra was always easy to communicate with and worked with our budget. Even though we didn't meet Matt until the day of our wedding, he was truly wonderful at directing/posing us but also took some of the best candid/fly-on-the-wall photos that I've seen. I'd emphasized that my big desire was to have candid photos of my dear family and friends and he delivered! I have several photos that bring tears to my eyes because they perfectly capture the joy we felt on that day. Oh -- And after talking with friends who have gotten married, the preplanning they do with you sounds to be one-of-a-kind!

I honestly would have paid much more to hire Kendra and Matt than we did. Highly, highly recommend!

Beautiful photos and wonderful people

Matt and Kendra are an amazing team and very kind people. Everything about the way they organize, communicate, and provide information to clients is very well thought out and organized. They did our engagement and wedding photos, and we were blown away with them. They are both very artistic in the way they take photos and use the environment around them. We also really appreciated their coaching through the process and during the photo shoot. They are very responsive to email and great about giving feedback. They made planning our out-of-state wedding easy. They also do beautiful prints of the photos afterwards. We speak highly enough of our experience working with Matt and Kendra. We would highly recommend them!

Fantastic!

We were recommended to Summer Street Photography, by a friend, and they were fantastic! They were very personable throughout the whole process, sending a welcome packet, creating a photo shot list, and even coming to Chicago for our engagement photos and wedding. Matt and Kendra are also great photographers - we loved how the photos turned out and have gotten several compliments on them. They also delivered them so quickly, less than 2 weeks after the wedding. They are great at capturing candid moments. They made us feel comfortable, and we never felt like we were in unnatural poses. We would definitely recommend to anyone!

Summer Street Photography Will Make Your Wedding Vision Come to Life through their Immense Talent and Exquisite Professionalism

Summer Street Photography will make your wedding vision come to life through their immense talent and exquisite professionalism. In addition to their beautiful photography, Kendra and Matt are extremely thoughtful, communicative, and detail oriented – characteristics that were apparent from the first video conference we had to discuss our wedding vision. From that moment on, our relationship with Kendra and Matt felt more like a friendship than a vendor/client relationship. I recommend reaching out to Summer Street regardless of where your wedding location is, because Matt and Kendra travel often and may already have plans to be in your area. (Our wedding was on Cape Cod in September 2018).

Matt and Kendra worked with us to design a custom photography package that was within our budget and encompassed all of our photo expectations. Kendra and I talked several times on the phone leading up to our September wedding, and she patiently explained how the photography would be incorporated into our schedule so that I could make informed decisions about our photography needs. Summer Street also provided a schedule that we filled out and had access to leading up to our wedding. Knowing that we were all on the same page prior to our wedding day alleviated a lot of stress and anxiety for me.

Matt was our photographer on the day of our wedding and he was masterful in skill and professionalism. Our ceremony and reception were at New Seabury Country Club on Cape Cod, and we had several unique photo requests (including golf cart rides across the course for photos on the beach). Matt handled all of the day’s scheduling transitions seamlessly. In addition to our beautiful portrait shots, he took amazing candids during our ceremony and reception that perfectly captured the spirit and emotion of the day. Several of our guests commented on how Matt never got in the way of important moments or disrupted the flow of the celebration. When we received our wedding photos (only a few weeks after our wedding!), Matt had managed to capture so many moments and details during the 5 hours he was with us. After our wedding, Matt and Kendra quickly communicated when we could expect our online gallery and our thumb drive of photos. When the thumb drive arrived in the mail, it was tucked inside a beautiful case containing prints from our wedding that Matt and Kendra had prepared for us; the gift is now displayed in our living room. That thoughtfulness was the perfect culmination of our wonderful and personal experience with Summer Street Photography.

Reach out to Summer Street if you’re looking for a wedding photographer who will work with your budget, talk through your photo expectations, and produce beautiful photographs that capture the beauty and emotion of your day.

Fabulous Experience with Summer Street Photography

We got married a month ago, and we had such a great experience with Summer Street Photography! From our first meeting we could tell that Kendra and Matt really understood our vision, and they went above and beyond in researching vintage photography poses in keeping with our Victorian theme. Matt was our photographer on the day of, assisted by Amie in the photo booth, and we could not be happier with the final results – gorgeously shot photographs that captured not only how we looked but also how we felt that day. I can absolutely recommend Summer Street Photography to other couples!

To select Summer Street Photography for your wedding day is to give yourself a priceless gift.

As someone who has worked in the wedding industry for a number of years, I have had the opportunity to work with many fantastic photographers throughout the Upper Midwest. Kendra and Matt, however, are whom I recommend to my family and friends. I can speak from both professional and personal experience (they have photographed both of my sisters' weddings) that they are top notch in every.single.way. Their detailed and timely correspondence, timelines, and shoot lists help one feel calm, organized, and well-cared-for throughout the planning process, and their professional, friendly, and efficient demeanor on the day of the wedding is reason alone to select them for your special day.

But truly, the magic of Kendra and Matt is their artistic vision. Their photographs manage to encapsulate not only the beauty of how the day looks, but somehow also contain an essence of how the day FEELS. They are fantastic at photographing the details and finding the beauty in every "scene", and they are ARTISTS when it comes to capturing the candid moments that truly tell the story of the day -- moments that contain the unique spirit of the individuals the photograph.

To select Summer Street Photography for your wedding day is to give yourself a priceless gift.

Kendra from Summer Street Photography is great! She is personable and professional, she was very easy to work with to ensure we stayed on our timeline for the day and got all the photos the couple requested. Her photos were beautiful and I am excited to have them as part of my portfolio of work. I will definitely recommend her to future clients looking for photography needs.
