Amazing team and incredible work!

Brett Matthews Photography was INCREDIBLE! I am not over how truly beautiful the pictures from our wedding have come out. Sheri, Alexander, Juliana and the rest of the team could not have been a more perfect crew to share our wedding day with. We love them! Our parents and friends are all in awe of their work. From the engagement pictures shoot to our wedding day we couldn’t be happier with their work! Thank you Brett Matthews team - we love you all!

Chris from Brett Matthews was absolutely amazing and fantastic and made my wedding day even better than expected. He is super upbeat and easy to work with and so is his team. He taught me and my fiance how to pose in pictures to enhance great outcome of pictures and worked so well with our entire family. He exceeded my expectations and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great photographer in the tristate area. Love Chris and his team at Brett Matthews!!!

Brett Matthews photographed the wedding of a friend of ours over the summer, and our friend raved about Chris and his team so much that when it came time to hire a photographer, we didn't even look around; we went straight to Brett Matthews, and are SO happy that we did. Chris is an absolute pleasure to work with: fun, engaging, energetic -- and extremely talented. As a bonus, he is extremely experienced and helped the entire day to run smoothly. He was a comforting presence throughout the whole day! We could not be happier with the pictures we got, and spending the day of our wedding with him was like spending the day with a good friend. Our friends and family similarly enjoyed working with him that day. We would definitely recommend Chris and his team to any friend looking for a photographer (and have done so already)!

I worked with Toni who was amazing. My pictures are absolutely beautiful and i am going to have such a hard time making a decision for my albums. You get what you pay for when working with them and hands down they are the best on the long island. Thank you for capturing my day and making my photos gorgeous.

After obsessing over the photos from my brother in laws wedding and sister in laws maternity shoot, we knew we had to have Chris as our photographer for out wedding. He shot our engagement shoot and managed to find us the only autumn colored tree in August, uses his creative brilliance to take photos that even an artist couldn't dream of, and is a sweetheart on top of it. Him and his team (Nick and Fabio) we're phenomenal--never intrusive, always professional--made our day so much better by reminding us to relax and laugh. Can't wait to see the photos! Thanks so much for all your help! Love, Fran and joe

I haven't received my proofs yet, but I'm confident based on my engagement pictures and my experience with Brett Matthews that they'll be great. The whole company was a pleasure to work with, and the photographer who I worked with for both engagement pictures and the wedding day (Chris) is fantastic. We had a main photographer, photojournalist, lighting assistant, and videographer. They couldn't have been nicer, and did great work. They were receptive to my requests, and did a great job of managing time to get it all done. At the reception, they were extremely unobtrusive but were easy to grab if I wanted a quick shot of something or someone. I can't wait to see the proofs and video!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
