We immediately knew we hired the right company when we signed on with Matthew. He was flexible, thoughtful and clearly loved his work. Best of all, he wanted us to be happy. My wife and I immediately felt comfortable with him during our engagement shoot—Matthew had a way of making us smile and laugh whenever we got too serious or in our heads.

Obviously, the wedding to come would not turn out the way either party expected. COVID changed everything, but Matthew not only understood, he made it even more special by partnering with a videographer to make up for the lost hours and time of our original ceremony. The incredible result helped us show ourselves off to the friends and family that couldn’t be there. It made me cry, made my wife cry, and our parents cry, and I’m tempted to submit it for the Oscars.

My wife and I got married with Matthew, his videographer Kaleb, and only four other people in attendance, two of whom were vendors. That we don’t have any regrets about it, and that it felt like we had the wedding of our dreams anyway is in part due to the work Legacy Union put into the photos and video of the event.

Matthew did not treat us like clients, but as friends, and that’s exactly what we needed in 2020. We’re so grateful to have found him.

Matthew is an amazing wedding photographer and I highly recommend him and his company Legacy Union Photo Co. to anyone looking to beautifully capture their wedding day. My wife and I were initially nervous as we had never worked with a professional photographer before. But Matthew's friendly personality and his experience allowed us to be comfortable and trust that we would end up with spectacular photos. Our video chat and engagement photo shoot experiences helped solidify that comfort and trust for us and we went into our wedding day knowing that we were in good hands. On top of that, Matthew made it easy to coordinate for the wedding as he is a great communicator and follows up quickly with emails. We couldn't be happier with our choice in wedding photographer.

The perfect team! My fiancé organised a surprise proposal, I didn’t see the team until after THE moment! They were discreet, friendly and helped us be comfortable for the shooting after! The pictures were so good, created happy tears for our families! I asked for some retouch (I scratched my hand right before the proposal of course) and they made everything work to the tea. The video looks like a film trailer! Matt was so professional and sent us the results very quickly! So from a very picky French lady, if you want your Pinterest inspiration to come to life they are the way to go!

WOW! Just, WOW! Matthew exceeded all of our expectations and more. From the moment he arrived, he and his team made us feel completely at ease, allowing us to be ourselves and enjoy every moment. We couldn't stop smiling and laughing the entire time! Matthew has an incredible and unique eye for capturing those candid, beautiful moments, and his creativity shines through in every shot. We feel beyond fortunate to have had him document our most special day—he truly brought it to life in a way we'll treasure forever. HIRE MATTHEW FOR YOUR WEDDING AND DON'T THINK TWICE ABOUT IT!!!!

We're so happy we chose Matthew to photograph our wedding and engagement photos. He was so responsive and easy to work with from start to finish. He showed up early to both events, and went above and beyond. We got SO many compliments on both sets of photos, with so many people saying "wow you had a great photographer!" Matthew caught amazing pictures of us, all of our guests, and all the details of our wedding! His turnaround time for engagement photos, wedding sneak peak, and wedding album was also super impressive. Such an easy and great choice choosing legacy union for our wedding!

Immediately, YES. A million times, absolutely, YES. This will be a long one, but it’s impossible not to rave about the experience we had with Matt and his team for our wedding! From the very first response from Matt, it was the most seamless experience. We had a five-day Indian-Mexican fusion wedding to plan and regardless of how many questions we asked or how chaotic the days seemed, Matt never took longer than a few minutes to respond and was beyond flexible and accommodating when working out schedules, he also always made himself available for phone or video calls to talk through things. Matt also heard us out on what type of photography styles we wanted (mostly candid with some portrait). When it came time to finally shoot with him and see the results, we were completely blown away.

During our engagement shoot, Matt proved to be such a seasoned professional by directing us so well and even had fun ways to make us laugh throughout. He immediately helped to break the ice, calm the nerves, and made us feel extremely comfortable! Not only was he mindful and knowledgeable of the space for the best shots, but he intentionally made sure to get shots of poses I had originally sent him for inspiration – he pulled them up during the shoot and made sure he got each one without me having to ask which I didn’t expect but deeply appreciated! Even though he had travel plans (the very next day) he still managed to edit and send our gallery over within a week. We were so impressed, thankful, and completely in love with his work!

Finally, for our wedding, we had the pleasure of working with him, Kelly, Arielle and Caleb (for video). No one ever tells you how important it is to have a good team with you on these big days, and Legacy Union was exactly that and so much more. This team was incredibly kind, friendly, fun, and (arguably) most importantly, ALWAYS on time and well-prepared each day. Matt is so knowledgeable about off-site locations, not only did he find us the perfect spot for our Indian wedding shoot, but he and Caleb also thought outside the box for ways to get unique, iconic shots for us. They also took our suggestions throughout, never said no to trying something new and did everything to make sure we got the shots we wanted. Some of the only time you get alone with your partner in between ceremonies is during these photo sessions, and these were the most memorable and intimate moments we still think about thanks to this team!

Whether it’s your wedding, engagement shoot, or family portraits, PLEASE BOOK LEGACY UNION. If not for the unmatched skill, results, and customer service, for the chance to meet and work with genuine human beings who truly love what they do. I promise you are in the best hands. Thank you Matt and team for everything – best decision we ever made!!!

Matthew and his second shooter Ariel were incredible. My husband and I are speechless at our photos. Matthew was able to capture our love in a way that felt so natural and easy. He was organized, timely, and professional. The cocktail hour was shot by his second shooter and our guests RAVED about her!

I wish I had more words to describe the experience we had working with Matthew!

He is open to adjusting your package if needed (which we did) as well as so helpful with consulting on the wedding timeline, shot lists, etc. We did not go with videography but we’re nearly kicking purselves over it because we can tell it would have been perfection!

Our experience was nothing short of amazing. The level of professionalism is astounding and the care they take into making sure we are comfortable is nice as well. Our friends and family absolutely loved our photos as did we.

We booked Matthew for our wedding in DTLA and he was awesome! We weren't sure initially how he would be since his services were so affordable but the photos ended up super polished and beautiful. He took instruction and feedback and ideas super well. That is, we had an idea to do selfie style photos for everyone and he understood the assignment and knocked them out of the park. On the other hand, he gave guidance and direction while taking photos very well. He's super nice and easy to work with. Highly recommend! 

Matt is the best! He's experienced, very responsive, flexible and organized, answered our many questions and gave us recommendations that really help us calm our pre-wedding jitters. The day of our wedding was 90F+, but that did not deter Matt one bit, he is extremely hardworking and efficient, we were amazed at what he was able to cover as a solo photographer for our wedding of 150. As for the photos, WOW!! they were beaaauuutiful! We are noramlly not good photo posers, but somehow we look relaxed and great in every shot ;) We are going to have so much trouble choosing which ones to print. Thank you Matt for giving us photos to cherish for life! Highly recommend.
