About

I am a wedding photographer based in Southern California. I have two beautiful daughters, I’ve been married to my wonderful wife for 14 years and we have a fluffy Goldendoodle named Bacon. Family is at the heart of everything I do.

I’ve always been an observer and when I was around 8 years old, I asked for my own camera and began my photography journey. I went on to study film & video production and eventually ended up at Art Center in Pasadena for photography. I then headed off to NYC and lived there for 9 years. While in New York, I began my journey by working with several top photographers, learning from their expertise. Eventually, I transitioned into conducting my own photo shoots, honing my skills and developing my own unique vision

While living in NYC, I met my wife and to her surprise, I proposed after dating for just 9 months. I just knew she was the one and we got married 2 months later! Our own wedding photos ignited a passion for documenting love stories and lead me to over 250 weddings through the past 13 years.

Great Photographer!

Matthew and Inese are such a wonderful couple! Matthew did our engagement shoot and Inese was there to assist with our two dogs. They were so great to work with! Matthew later photographed our wedding! Both experiences were great! He was very accommodating, easy to work with, and the photos came out wonderfully! I love the style of his work and so happy with our photos!

Love & You Studios are the only videographers I will hire due to the incredible quality of their performance, product and passion for what they do.

We hired Matthew and Inese to capture memories for multiple family events, including engagement session, Love Story, 50th anniversary/vow renewal, family legacy film and my sons’s wedding. They are professional, fun, kind, patient, creative and the best I’ve seen in the industry. Matthew and Inese recorded, perfectly edited and presented our family with stunning videos of our events and we are so grateful. We also feel like they have become an extended part of our family. They are truly one of a kind and I highly recommend hiring Love & You Studios. You will not be disappointed.

Love & You Studios is amazing! When we were researching photographers for our wedding, it was tough so there's so many photographers out there. However Matthew's work speaks for itself when you look at his photos. When my husband and I met him, he was so friendly, warm and accommodating to our needs. During our wedding day, he was easy to work with and captured everything we wanted.

After our wedding, Matthew provided us a sample of photos so we can immediately share with our friends and family. They are amazing, and better than we expected. We got a remaining photos in a timely manner and was surprised to see he captured so many candid moments through our day. My husband and I can't believe how beautiful the photos turned out. If you're looking for a top notch photographer, definitely hire Matthew and his team!

We used Love & You for our videography for our wedding and we were absolutely blown away. Wedding videos are VERY important to me and I spent a ton of time researching videographers, and I could not be happier with our choice. Inese and Matthew were amazing to work with, and produced an incredible wedding video along with an incredible preview that we received a week after our big day. We watch our video regularly and we absolutely love it- I highly recommend Love & You for anyone looking for a wedding videographer.

Inese and Matthew with Love & You Studios were recommended to us by both our wedding planner Maria with Top Event Planner and Thu with Lace and Stems Wedding & Florals. We immediately booked them to do our wedding photography for our outdoor ceremony and indoor reception at the Avenue of the Arts. Since we decided not to do a first look and our ceremony was later in the evening, we booked a separate post wedding session at the beach. Inese and Matthew's responsiveness and professionalism via email and text made the whole process so pleasant and enjoyable. They were very accommodating to every request we made and suggested the perfect location for what we were looking for to have our post wedding photo session. The most delightful parts were the seriously speedy sneak peeks delivered after each event while still fresh in everybody's mind & then when the final photos were delivered, our expectations were exceeded! Love & You Studio's quality of service and value are worth every penny. We are in love with our wedding photos that we will cherish forever.

Very incredible couple. Matt & Inese are amazing. They are super sweet and friendly and took the time to really get to know us. They're work is amazing. They are very flexible and willing to work with whatever you want/throw at them. They were quick to get pictures back to us from a pre wedding session and our sneak peak wedding photos came the very next morning.

They are worth every penny and we couldn't be happier that we picked Love & You Studios to capture our special day. We are excited to see the rest of our pictures and our video.

They brought out 2 extra photographer to make sure everything was captured!! After our family pictures and first look we had a few extra minutes before needing to get out of the space for guests could arrive and they encouraged us to do even more pictures.

Highly recommended. Would use them for any type of event!

For a number of years even before I got engaged, I had become a bit familiar with "love and you" videos from accidentally stumbling across some of their work on YouTube. Their videos are really hard to forget-they always captured and told a great love story.

The first time we met Matthew and Inese, we connected right off the bat as if we'd been friends for years! Inese is so bubbly and super sweet! Seeing the support system that Matthew and Inese have for each other on and off work was really inspiring! They will be one of the sweetest husband and wife teams you'll ever meet!

I can't reiterate enough about how important it is to work with people you feel very comfortable with and will also make you feel that way in front of a camera. When it comes to capturing genuine moments, you need that trust and comfort. Matthew and Inese totally exude that. They are TRUE professionals-they were always very responsive to our emails, VERY attentive to details, and they never made us feel bad about any last minute requests.

With much anticipation prior to receiving our wedding video, my husband and I definitely had some fear that some of our footage would be super awkward to watch. Now I have to say this-on my wedding day, I almost cried but found the strength to hold it together. When we received our finished product from Inese and Matthew, we watched it with my parents for the first time-a few minutes into it, I broke down in tears...

I cannot express enough how incredibly talented these two are!!! They have created such a timeless and gorgeous video for us that we will cherish forever not only with our family and friends, but hope to one day if/when we have kids, be able to give it to them as a keepsake.

I am so blessed to say that I now have my very own "love and you" video! Thank you soooo much Matthew and Inese for creating such a beautiful love story for my husband and I! You guys are the best!!!

If it's your wedding, you're looking for guaranteed results. They are hard to find. How do you know who is good? How do you know what reviews are real? Did they just shoot one good video, or even taken someone else's and post it? You literally never know. Maybe you're a pessimist like me and think everyone is out to defraud you of your hard earned money and ruin your wife's big day (or a future husband trying to find the perfect videographer to impress your wife, since every venue you've recommended is somehow magically atrocious, like you're Harry Potter of terrible taste). Well, look no further. Love & You Studios is AWESOME. I don't easily dish out praise. I never give 5 stars. But L&Y has earned it. No, I'm not an employee of L&Y. Yes, you can see my wedding video on their FB page. Let's start from the beginning: Matt is incredibly responsive. But, let's face it, at first, everyone is. They want your money. But, they fade fast. I have annoyed this man to absolutely no ends with minutia of details, requests, shot and song request, everything, both before and after the wedding. He has not lost his step the entire way. That's an impressive feat in and of itself. When you meet Matt and his crew, they are really easy going, laid back, kind, and very professional. We made them stand in the cold rain in November for 8 hours. No complaints. No leaving early. No irritation. No annoyance. They truly support you on your wedding day. They don't get in the way, but they get what they need. They are everywhere but nowhere. Continuing on, to what really matters, the video. You will LOVE what you get. Men, you may cry, be forewarned so you can hide it. I couldn't be happier with our results. 110% satisfied & ecstatic. WORTH EVERY PENNY (and more).

Don't take my word for it - my preview is currently on Love & You Studios facebook page. Follow them and check it out. Our caption starts "Yesterday's wedding was cold with a lot of rain..." on November 27, 2016. Hot wife, I know!

We found Love and You Video through our amazing wedding planner, Jeannie Savage, and I can honestly say that having Love & You studio's at our wedding was one of the best investments we made. Inese and Mathew were a pleasure to work with, they were nice, polite and professional. They arrived at our wedding location in the early morning when we started to get ready, and stayed with us through the ceremony and party which didn't end until 10 or 11 at night. The way they filmed and captured our wedding made them appear as guests instead of videographers. They have two packages a quick ten minute clip package and a 90 minute documentary, we chose the 90 minute documentary and it was well worth it. Every time I watch our video I smile and fill up with joy. I can't thank Inese and Matthew enough for the great job they did. If a future bride or groom asked me for advise on what is most important for a wedding I would say location, a great wedding planner like Jeannie Savage and Love & You Video to capture the event so you can rewatch the ceremony again and again.

Matthew and Inese of Love & You did an AMAZING job for my husband and me on our wedding day. They were timely, professional and accommodating...all qualities that you would expect of a videographer. But these two were different than the rest of the videographers I was contemplating hiring. Matthew & Inese are an inspiring couple themselves, and they used their own love and creativity to capture the best and most personal moments of our wedding day. Their teamwork was flawless and seemingly effortless...our video came out so good that I upgraded our package once we saw it. We wanted to see more and more! They did unique edits for us and accommodated our requests without complaint or hesitation. They are seriously the best and I highly recommend them!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Working with Love & You Video was an absolutely pleasure from a Wedding Planner's standpoint. They worked really well with my team & watching them maneuver through the wedding they captured all the necessary moments without overwhelming the Bride & Groom or getting in the way. You almost didn't even notice them, so from my standpoint they did a fantastic job! Great work Matthew it was wonderful working with you & you will come highly recommended to my future clients.

Matthew was fantastic to work with, he has this innate knowledge of being in the exact right place at the exact right time, while simultaneously blending into the background. He managed to run across a field and capture a spontaneous conga line, no one else saw, that didn't last for more than 15 seconds. Add to that his brilliant editing skills, and his marvelous personality, you can NOT go wrong hiring or working with Love & You video.
