We heard about Matt through friends of ours, after he photographed their wedding in Italy. After we got engaged ourselves, we shopped around for a photographer local to us in Philadelphia, but couldn’t get Matt’s photos (or Instagram feed) out of our minds. His work is so distinctive. So moody. So stunning. So unlike 99% of everything else that’s out there.

For someone who has been named one of the best wedding photographers in America (according to Brides, three years running), Matt is impossibly humble and down to earth. There are very few people we would have wanted to be in such close proximity with for so much of our wedding day. Flying him out to Pennsylvania to document our big day was one of the best decisions we made in the 12+ months we spent planning. This became even more clear after we had an unexpected 90-minute timeline delay and Matt single handedly got us back on track, with a Plan B that surpassed everything we’d envisioned for Plan A.

I don’t know what we were more impressed by: his speed/efficiency (especially with family photos!) or his skill (especially his ability to find the best light, frame the shot, and get two people who are admittedly camera-shy to relax and just be in the moment).

We wanted the opposite of a cookie cutter wedding album, someone who would put us both at ease in front of the camera, someone who would be great with our guests, and someone who would capture memories made to last a lifetime. Matt (over)delivered on every front. If he has your date free, waste no time getting that contract signed!

Matt is hands down one of the BEST photographers I have had the honor of working with. His has the ability to capture some of the most stunning photos I have ever seen. Every couple is floored with their wedding album and have nothing but great things to say about it. I trust him to take care of the couples I send his way and know that they will cherish those photos forever. And I love having his work in my portfolio :)

Matt is the best in the business, hands down. He flew with us to St. Lucia for our elopement and he was an absolute pleasure to work with. He is so extremely talented in all ways. He is also a really cool guy and makes you feel really comfortable while he makes you look like a movie star on camera. I would highly recommend him, whether in the USA or anywhere in the world.
