Matthew Blake Photography

Hey, you!
Yes, you.

Stop stressing about planning, it shouldn't and won't be this tough when you find your perfect photographer who knows a thing or two about a thing or two.

(This is where I come in ;D)

My name is Blake (Matthew if you're the Government....) - I'm a wedding and portrait photographer based out of Northeast Alabama whose focus on photography is centered around one concept. "Create with Intention"
I've been doing Wedding Photography since 2020, and I've become a master at rolling with the punches and making sure you, The Bride & Groom/Groom & Groom/Bride & Bride, get what you want and not necessarily what tradition or social media tells you you need.

Example, if you don't care about a photo of your rings on top of the invitations with your shoes placed to one side... then I'm not going to take that photo. BUT if you want me to make sure I get a picture of Grandma's Face as she sees you for the first time, then I AM ON IT. What's important to you is what's important to me.

What do I bring to wedding days? A positive attitude with a knack for making sure everything happens on time. I've been known to remind a wedding coordinator a time or two what time it is and what's next on the agenda. I love a schedule, but I also love making magic happen even when things might go awry.

My style of photography is adaptive to the situation. I love more documentary-style coverage with a few dramatic portraits thrown in for some spice. I don't ask too much of my clients, just come ready to have some fun. I love to have more natural colors in my work, and depending on the mood, I may throw in moody edits or even brighter and more airy stylized options if it seems appropriate to the situation. I don't limit myself to a certain style, and if my clients want something particular, I've got you. (Yes, I've done long exposure sparkler photos at a wedding, and YES I don't mind photographing your dog, the ring bearer lol)

I really love what I do, and better yet, I love meeting new people and just having a good time. Though I may be a paid vendor, I don't want to walk away from your wedding without you knowing that I got you and your partner's backs. (Seriously, I don't mind photoshopping a mustache on that weird, dramatic aunt if she gets on your nerves too badly. I'll add 40lbs to your brother if he doesn't act right.)

So let's get this party started. Let me help make your wedding day magical.
Thanks,
Blake w/
