Couldn't be happier

We couldn't be happier with our experience! From our engagement photos to our wedding day, working with Matt was an absolute pleasure. He was friendly, professional, and incredibly easy to work with every step of the way.

Neither of us is particularly comfortable in front of a camera, but he made the entire process feel natural and stress-free. He gave great direction, helped us feel relaxed, and somehow made every photo session feel fun instead of awkward. On our wedding day, he kept everything running smoothly and made it easy for us to focus on enjoying the moment.

Most importantly, the photos are absolutely incredible. He captured so many genuine emotions and special moments, and the final images exceeded all of our expectations. His talent and attention to detail truly shine through in every photo.

We are so grateful to have these memories captured so beautifully and would highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for a talented photographer who is not only amazing at what he does but also a joy to work with.

Phenomenal photographer!

Matt Montalvo is a true gem of a photographer. He is talented, down to earth, and takes the time to get to know you so he can capture your love story in your own personalized style. I had a detailed list of photos I wanted taken and he definitely took those and they were AMAZING.....but if I'm being honest, my favorites are the ones he just captured in the moment that are so incredibly real that you can't deny the love that was present that day. He is reasonably priced and delivers EXCEPTIONAL work in a short period of time---we had our sneak peeks by the end of the week! The quality of his photography is priceless and we will always be eternally grateful for the pictures he captured of our wedding day. I can't recommend this guy enough....book him, I promise you won't be disappointed!

Best Austin wedding photos for the best deal!

Matt was absolutely tremendous from start to finish. From our first call --- which he took while pulled over on the road between two other weddings because that's how dedicated he is --- he showed his passion for his craft, his commitment to excellence, and his genuine concern for making sure that we as a couple got the wedding photos of our dreams. On the wedding day, Matt was there early on the wedding day and made sure that every moment of the day was covered, and was happy to quickly pivot to cover shots that weren't on the original plan. He managed to both be present and also disappear into the day, so that despite knowing we were being photographed, both myself and my husband were fully able to lock in on the wedding. The photos themselves were utterly stunning, some of them truly took our breath away, and since we got them back, we can't stop going through them over and over, finding new dynamic details every time, and loving the way he edited them. He gave us more than 1,000 photos within a week and a half of the wedding --- with around 220 premium edits with black and white options --- and they are photos we will always treasure. On top of everything, Matt is a fantastic person, so upbeat and friendly, and a joy to be around! Matt, thank you so much for documenting one of the most special days of our lives, and we wish you only the best! -Maggie and Alex

Michael & Robby's Wedding 2025

Matt was very easy to work with and very efficient! The day of our wedding Matt was on time and made sure the whole wedding party, family and friends were on schedule with the sequence of the photos. Matt took in-the-moment photos and knew the right angle to take them from. The quality and professionalism is superb! Our friends had recommended Matt and we couldn't agree more that he was the best fit for our wedding needs. Me and my husband will 110% recommend his services to our friends, family and relatives who are looking for professional shots! Matt is very detailed-oriented, very direct with positioning you to make sure the photo captures every essence of what we wanted, including highlighting specific pieces in our wedding layout. Matt also has a secured gallery where the photos are stored and you can go back to order prints if you wish. Matt is very family-oriented and was a fan favorite at our wedding. Thank you Matt for capturing me and my husband's ceremony and milestone to cherish for years to come.

5/5 stars for Matt Montalvo!

Matt was amazing. He was friendly, professional, and took amazing photos. He got our photos to us less than a week after our wedding, which was a pleasant and welcome surprise. He checked in with us several times before the wedding to ensure he understood our vision and the shots we knew we wanted.

He knew that we wanted to attend our cocktail hour, so he worked really efficiently to maximize our time with out guests and we really appreciated that.

Matt even knew how to bustle my dress and helped me button my buttons with a crochet hook! A true Renaissance Man :)

Matt really captured the essence of our special day in his amazing photographs. We are thrilled with the quality of his work and his warm, friendly personality made us feel totally at ease.

Magician Matt!

Matt is a storyteller with his gadgets. From the time we had our zoom meeting with him, we got really comfortable with him. He knows what he is doing and he does it with a smile.

We were lucky to have him photograph our wedding. He had a game plan and we did first look and many of our pictures with wedding party before the ceremony. That gave us good amount of time to enjoy with our guests without worrying about missing any picture with closed ones.

Within 10 days we got all our pictures and we can just always relive that day through his captures. He was quick on his feet, moved around relentlessly and captured all the precious moments. He got our best angles and most of the pictures were candid which we loved! After looking at the pictures, we caught up on many moments which we missed as there are so many things going on during your wedding day.

If you are trying to decide your event photographer - just hop on a call with him and I'm sure you will feel at ease. And working with someone with a smile on his face will make your day better too.

Photos for a lifetime

Matt was absolutely amazing to work with and even better, our photos are stunning! He has an eye for detail, especially on the couples portraits to make sure that everything is just right. As someone who does not know their best angles, it was great to have him make those small adjustments so that he captures you at your best. He was not overly directing or posing so that everything felt very natural. Matt was also great at being at the right place at the right time to capture those priceless candid moments.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
