When it came time for us to look for our wedding photographer we did not have an easy time that is until we found Matt DeBackere. We were looking for someone who could match our wants and styles and Matt fit the mold perfectly! He was able to work with our busy schedules and exceed our expectations. Our first meeting I thought for sure he would high tail it out, since I had so many different thoughts and ideas; instead he assured me that all my thoughts and ideas were possible and even gave me more. Matt is a blessing to work with as he makes every detail count and the entire time you work with him a breeze. Him and his wife understood our visions for the day and made it happen. The whole day was smooth, easy, and comfortable thanks to Matt and his wife! We would recommend them to anyone for any occasion.

I had headshots and photos done with Matt Debackere back in 2008- thus I knew that when I got married I would reach out to him! So 10 years later, this phenomenal photographer was called and our wedding photos were amazing due to his guidance, leadership and experience! All those that attended our small wedding ceremony continue to tell us how blessed we were to have Matt as our photographer and how beautiful the photos were that resulted!

I strongly believe that the most important aspect of wedding planning is picking the perfect photographer. I would absolutely, no questions ask, pick Matt DeBackere again as our wedding photographer. He did an amazing job and I have so many cherished photos from my wedding as well as our engagement shoot. He was worth every penny and then some

Matt was the photographer for my wife and my wedding in June 2014. From consultation through delivery, Matt was the consummate professional. His attention to detail and willingness to work with us on the various challenges of our wedding was fantastic. Highly recommended.
