Matt Lusk is a wedding and portrait photographer based on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. He realized his passion for photography on a solo backpacking trip through Australia and Indonesia. He is a self-taught photographer with a tireless work ethic and is known for braving extreme conditions to get the shot. His work is regularly featured in local, regional, and international publications, including Surfer, Surfing, Surfers Journal, Sport Fishing, Marlin, Eastern Surf, Our State, Outer Banks Wedding Guide, and Outer Banks Bride Magazine. He was awarded ''Photographer of the Year'' by Eastern Surf Magazine in 2014. Matt spends his free time outdoors surfing, fishing, and diving.

''My approach to documenting weddings is simple: have fun and tell your wedding story in a unique, creative, and unobtrusive way. I’ll make you laugh and bring out the best in you. Often times you won't even know I'm there. I work very hard behind the scenes to capture the emotion and feels of your day. Your final collection images will include a blend of artistic details, intimate candid moments, dramatic pulled back scenics, and timeless portraiture highlighting your love and connection. Not only do I want you to be extremely happy with your wedding photographs, I want you to have fun taking them. Can't tell you how many times I've heard, ''Wow Matt, I'm not a picture person, but you made that really fun, quick, and easy! Thank you!'' I believe every wedding gallery should not look the same!! You only get married once. Wedding photography is an investment. How do you want your story to be told? Look forward to hearing from you!''

Matt is the literal best!!

We are soo happy with our wedding & engagement photos! Matt pays great attention to detail, like the 30mph winds blowing my hair the wrong way or making my dress train look weird. He is really good at guiding you through posing when needed, and he was always there to capture the candid moments. I can be pretty uncomfortable in front of the camera, and my husband isn't the most fond of having photos taken, but not with Matt! Matt made us both feel so calm and comfortable, it was so much fun having our photos taken by him. We truly had a blast at our engagement shoot and when he was taking our wedding photos. It felt like we were hanging out with an old friend. During the ceremony & other moments Matt blended in while he did his thing. I wasn't even aware of his presence a lot of the time, but he was always there capturing the moment. I love the way Matt incorporates the landscape into his photos, it's one of my favorite things about his style. The Northern Lights showed up on our wedding night(!!), and Matt knew exactly what to do to capture that moment beautifully. We got our photos super fast and couldn't be happier with them and the experience! We are incredibly grateful to have our memories captured so perfectly. If you want to have fun, feel comfortable, and quickly get the most amazing photos, Matt is your guy!

Above and Beyond Amazing

We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Matt Lusk Photography. Matt went above and beyond every step of the way. He met with us before the wedding to walk through the timeline and help us plan out the day in detail, which gave us so much peace of mind. On the wedding day, he truly stepped up, driving us in his truck to nearby locations for some incredible local shots and making sure everything ran smoothly. His calm, professional presence and eye for detail made all the difference. We received photos quickly after the wedding and any additional requests we had he answered quickly as well. Amazing digital access to all photos that allow for easy download. We’re so grateful to have had him as our photographer!

Grateful Beyond Measure!!

We got married on April 12th, 2025 in the place where I grew up going - Corolla, NC! When we were searching for our wedding photographer we were fortunate enough to come across the vibrant and stunning portfolio of Matt Lusk!!

From the first time I inquired, Matt was on top of everything!! He kindly kept in touch with me all along the way to our big day, even when my wedding brain was taking over and delaying my response time! 😄😁

Matt was just as genuine as he appears in his photos and captured our special day perfectly!! He was beyond accommodating and did not bat an eye at special requests we made last minute, ensuring everyone was apart of our wedding day memories!!

While our review is not as timely as we would have liked, we can assure you that Matt's followup time is nothing like ours!!! We had our entire wedding album barely one week after our wedding WHILE WE WERE ON OUR HONEYMOON!!! Just unreal how wonderful it was to get that email while sitting on the sand of St Lucia!!

Matt, we thank you from the depths of our hearts for your incredible work capturing our day, and we also thank you for your genuine spirit and incredible personality throughout our day and experience working with you! We are grateful beyond measure for you and highly recommend you to anyone searching for their wedding photographer!!



We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
