About

On WeddingWire since 2019

My focus is to photograph your day authentically and organically -It’s my goal not just to capture gorgeous photos, but to make your wedding day an incredible experience. I believe that your love story deserves a hand-crafted, consistent, one of a kind approach.

I’m big into photographing real moments, real emotions, and natural, candid wedding photography. I’ll help guide and direct you to set up shots that look amazing. You’ll be coached through the whole process. Relax and enjoy – the pressure is off! My style is more about getting you interacting with each other, rather than a lot of really formal posing! I love to mix elements from styles old and new to create a timeless, consistent look, that you’ll love the day you receive the photos and for years to come.

I'd love to hear all about your wedding plans! Contact me for more info!

The Very Best There Is!

Working with Matt was amazing from beginning to end. When our hunt for a photographer began, we were looking for bold and moody colors created by dramatic and magical lighting. We found our perfect match in Matt and, after receiving our images back, we know that we made the best decision. His images speak for themselves. (Cue the oohhs and aahhs.) They are absolutely stunning, and we could not be more grateful for the work that he did. Beyond his technical expertise, Matt was also a joy to work with. He knew when to blend in and when to step in and direct guests and subjects in order to get the best images. He truly put us (the couple) first. He was capable and efficient throughout the day and truly impressed us with his competence and professionalism. We would recommend him to anyone, and we will treasure the images he captured for us forever. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Best Decision!

Meant to write this review a lot sooner, but better late than never! If you don't want to read my whole review, just know that you should hire Matt for your wedding photography needs!

I personally had a unique situation in that my brother was getting married in a courthouse in March 2021 with just our families to witness. I didn't want the date to go undocumented, so I contacted Matt and from the very beginning he was the most responsive, easy-going, and understanding photographer I talked with. I probably over-explained the situation like 5x, but he made me feel heard and understood and I was completely at ease hiring him. Not to mention, his pricing was more than fair!!

On the wedding day, he met us at the courthouse and followed through on everything we had requested ahead of time. Even though never have met or talked with my brother and the bride, he made them feel completely at ease and led them to a spot nearby the courthouse even for after-ceremony shots. Above and beyond what I could've asked for.

I know there are a ton of choices for photographers out there, but do yourself a favor, and make sure Matt is one that you inquire with for your big day! Thank you for everything, Matt!

Seriously, Hire Forte

Matt at Forte Films & Stills is honestly phenomenal. He did our engagement AND wedding photos and we could not be happier with them! He is very professional, yet still so calm and personable which makes you comfortable in front of the camera. He is excellent in giving direction while also catching many natural moments.

Our wedding photos turned out better than friend's who were paying way more for their photographer. You honestly cannot go wrong hiring Forte Films & Stills.
You get:
1. Great photography; absolutely beautiful work
2. Professional photographer who gets your photos back to you super quick!
3. $5,000 quality photography at a WAY cheaper price.
4. You're gonna look super hot in all your photos.

Seriously, all of my friends were so jealous when they saw my photos and found out how much I paid compared to what they paid for theirs. STOP LOOKING AND BOOK HIM NOW BEFORE EVERYONE ELSE REALIZES HOW GREAT HE IS.
