We hired Matt and Mary to photograph our wedding this past April - and words cannot describe how incredible they are! They are passionate and in love with their craft - it shows, in every thoughtful detail, moment, and interaction. My husband and I felt amazing in their hands. They ensured the photography experience was fun, and carefree. There was not a moment where I was concerned with what I was doing or how I was looking; as they gave subtle prompts and photographed at different angles. Our guests felt special; they made everyone feel included.
They are both talented photographers and artists; their compositions are well thought out and attractive. They capture so much breadth, and so well - stunning portraits, candid moments, and subtle details.
For our initial consultation, Mary got to know us, and our story. She was genuinely interested in names and details, and it was fun sharing with her. She even volunteered and accompanied me and my coordinator to the venue to do a walk-through, scout photo locations, and play with light settings on her camera.
On the day of, they learned that my favorite number was on a heavy theater chair in the downstairs section of the venue. They hauled two of the chairs up to the rooftop to take golden-lit portraits. It is this kind of thing... they go above and beyond.
Photo processing was exceptionally quick. We received our photos less than 5 weeks after our wedding date. The digital images arrived on a beautiful wooden USB, with thoughtful packaging, and sample studio prints. The prints were excellent reference for understanding the finishes, as well as high quality, and useful in explaining to family members who wanted to order photos.
Picking Matt and Mary of Luminous Photography was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day.
