Wonderful!

I was nervous on who to hire for our wedding. Matt was wonderful the day of the wedding and all the photos came out gorgeous, even though it poured down rain! I have received so many compliments on our photos, because they look so timeless and beautiful. There were SO MANY photos and I swear every one came out beautiful. Matt was also extremely flexible with us moving back from overseas and changing numbers. It saved us a lot of stress. I promise you, you will not regret using Matt for your big day!

A True Artist

Selecting our photographer was the most important wedding decision we made. We knew we wanted to capture genuine moments—not forced, overly posed images. I specifically sought out a documentary-style photographer who could archive our day with authenticity.

After an extensive search, I stumbled upon Matt’s portfolio—and I immediately knew he was the one. His work struck the perfect balance between candid storytelling and artistic composition. I was already so impressed, but he still managed to exceed our expectations with the images he delivered.

It’s worth noting: we didn’t meet Matt in person until our wedding day. Despite the distance, he made us feel completely confident through thoughtful preparation and consistent communication. When he arrived, he brought a warm smile and a calm, grounding presence—exactly the kind of energy you hope for amid the whirlwind of a wedding day.

Matt completely understood my desire for natural, candid photos. While nothing ever felt staged, he gently offered subtle guidance when needed, leading to truly stunning results. He captured the day from every angle, and yet somehow never made us feel like we were being photographed.

By the end of the night, it felt like Matt had become part of the family. He shared in our joy, laughter, and love—all while quietly creating an unforgettable record of our wedding day.

Afterward, he delivered both sneak peeks and our full gallery ahead of schedule. The final photos absolutely blew us away. We’ve cherished every single one since.

If you’ve found your way to Matt—don’t hesitate. He is a true artist, and he won’t disappoint.

Matt—thank you. We will never be able to fully express how grateful we are for the way you captured our love story.

Dream Team

Matt and Sam were an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. They brought such a calm, creative energy to our wedding day and made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. Every photo feels intentional, emotional, and so true to who we are. We’re beyond grateful to have had such a talented and kind team documenting our day—these memories mean the world to us, and we’ll treasure them forever.

Cannot recommend Matt enough!

My sister isn’t the biggest fan of photos, but we knew she would want her engagement captured. Matt was so flexible as we worked through the logistics of keeping the surprise (down to dressing the part and hiding in our neighbors boat, bless him), and he was so discrete my sister didn’t even realize he was a photographer until after the proposal was over. He waited with our family while the happy couple went on a boat cruise, and then captured so many beautiful moments of them and our family celebrating when they returned. Matt has such great energy and made everyone feel so comfortable, so all of us (but most importantly the new fiancés) could really live in the moment.

The photos came back quickly and are absolutely stunning. He got the most amazing shots and didn’t miss a thing. I had sent inspiration photos and he was spot on (I’m sure he didn’t need them, but if you are like me and are into that stuff he is on board!).

A true pro— we are forever grateful!

Highly recommend Matt as your wedding photographer!

We hired Matt for our wedding in May and he truly exceeded every expectation! Matt and his assistant Sam captured each moment of our day perfectly, even with the inclement weather we had! They had great suggestions for poses, areas to shoot, and they also took detail shots of the decor which was important to us. They really captured our day as a whole through a lens. I would highly recommend Matt, he was responsive and such a pleasure to have photograph our wedding!

Great experience with even better photos

Great professionalism, prompt communication and extreme timeliness. Couldn’t have asked for a better photographer experience.
Matt went through every detail with us and adjusted his services and coverage as needed throughout the planning process.
He arrived ahead of schedule on the day of, made everyone feel comfortable and confident, and captured every moment of the night, beautifully.
He had my sneak peeks to me within 2 business days, and all my photos within 15 days- WAY sooner than I would have thought.
Would highly recommend.

Extremely happy and grateful

To say Matt was an amazing photographer is an understatement. I’ve followed his work for a while on IG and was super happy I was able to book him for a proposal shoot in Nashville. He was he super easy to get a hold of and was an awesome help in suggesting ideas for locations and best times to pop the question. Matt endured so many layover delays and cancellations to meet me in Nashville that I sincerely thought the shoot was a bust. He didn’t arrive more than 24 hours later than intended but despite those challenges he remained upbeat and professional while I was nearly losing my mind. I don’t know how he did it but photos look like something out of a dream. They have this amazing sunset glow and he meticulously timed and captured the best candid moments which is perfect because unlike my fiancée I am horrible at posing for pictures.

I cannot recommend Matt enough, go with him you will not regret it!

Simply amazing

My fiancé and I never had any professional photos taken of us. We were both a little nervous going to our engagement photo shoot, but Matt was absolutely amazing! He made us feel so comfortable and was so patient with us the entire time. We had a great time at our photo shoot with him and our photos were everything we could have ever dreamed of! We highly recommend Matt, he is such a pleasure to work with and you will absolutely love your photos!!!
