About

On WeddingWire since 2011

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 best!!

I was familiar with Matt Lusk through his landscape pictures so when I saw he did wedding photography as well, I knew I liked his style! Matt was awesome to work with and took amazing pictures! His attention to detail with every picture really comes through in his finished products. He helps everyone relax and helps with the poses while also just capturing natural shots. Matt did our engagement shots and wedding pictures and I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. I am so glad to have these pictures to remember our special day and all the friends and family that were there. He got so many great shots of not only us as bride & groom but the whole party! He was super timely with getting everything back to us. We love all of our pictures and working with Matt! 5 out of 5 stars and will totally book him in the future!

Five Stars Aren't Enough for Matt—He Truly Captured It All!

Matt is hands down the best photographer on the Outer Banks! We first worked with him for our engagement shoot during Golden Hour in the summer of 2023, and it was an unforgettable experience. He immediately made us feel comfortable, keeping us laughing the entire time. His ability to capture our personalities while making the most of natural light and finding perfect poses truly impressed us.

When it came to our wedding at the Sanderling Resort in October 2024, Matt exceeded every expectation. Not only did we receive our photos incredibly quickly, but each image captures the joy and beauty of our day so perfectly that we felt like we were reliving each moment. Our family and bridal party couldn’t stop raving about how relaxed and fun he made the photo sessions feel—stress-free and full of laughter. We couldn’t recommend Matt more highly; he is truly the BEST!
