About

100% Authentic. 100% Film.

The word "authentic" gets thrown around quite a lot these days. It seems like every major brand, from jeans to cars, wants to seem authentic.

Of the many wedding photographers you've looked at, how many would you describe as "authentic"? You see lots of Photoshop, instagram, contrived poses, uncomfortable-looking brides and grooms, and images that don't seem to tell the story in an honest and beautiful way.

My one and only goal is to tell the story of your wedding with honesty and beauty. All the love, all the humor, and without fakery. And to do that, I shoot entirely on film.

Film is real. It's physical. You can feel it with your hands, or hold it up to the sun and see the images it contains. Film captures an image in a way that a digital camera just can't. And unlike a digital image, it looks so beautiful right from the start.

Do you want your wedding photography to be as authentic as you are? Come see my site here.

Reviews of Matt Haines Photography

Matt was our wedding photographer for our wedding back in 2013. He also did our engagement photo shoot several months prior. Matt was absolutely incredible. From the very beginning he was very, very nice and he was so easy to work with. My husband was deployed through the whole wedding planning and engagement process and Matt made doing everything alone a million times easier. He communicated with me very well, stayed in touch constantly and always made himself available for everything I needed. Then, in the end, on top of all of that, his photos were absolutely breathtaking. He captured everything for what it was and these are photos I am obsessed with admiring and will admire the rest of our lives.

Matt is an excellent photographer and a pleasure to work with. He photographed our wedding in Ojai and we are just thrilled with the results. He is a great communicator and very professional--we felt like we were in good hands throughout the whole process. We chose him initially because he shoots on film--a rarity these days--and his photos have that extra creamy glow only possible on film. He also has a great sense of humor, as evidenced in his awesome photos of kids. We couldn't be happier with our choice of wedding photographer.

Matt takes the MOST beautiful pictures and he has a way about him that allows him to work with any personality type and work through any situation. His style and creativity made going thru our photos a delight. He captured everything. The lighting was always perfect and the framing of each moment was spot on. You only get one chance to capture one of the happiest days of your life...I'm so glad we relied on Matt Haines. We will refer all of our nearest and dearest to him as he is so talented and AWESOME!!

Matt is always where he should be... but is like a fly on the wall. He takes beautiful photos and is a joy to work with. His photos are romantic and fit each bride perfectly. As a day-of wedding coordinator, I work with a lot of photographers and I am always happy to refer Matt to my brides!
