There's more to wedding photography than taking a pretty picture. While Matthew is an outstanding photographer (he really knows how to capture emotions like no other), he's got this ability to really connect with you and understand exactly what you want.
Full disclosure: I wasn't the easiest client, and I wanted everything to be perfect. Working with Matthew was probably the easiest part about coordinating my wedding. I met and spoke with tons of photographers before choosing him, but Matthew and I instantly clicked. I have a huge family, and I wanted to make sure everyone was prominently featured, especially my grandparents, who have limited mobility. Matthew was friendly, knew peoples' names, and treated everyone with respect.
The best part, though? The photos. Everyone looked absolutely stunning in the pictures, and while I'm normally a bit camera shy, I absolutely loved how I looked in my wedding gown. Matthew also captured such intimate moments that I can now cherish forever. He was able to fully preserve our beautiful ceremony, not to mention our incredible reception.
And Matthew's professionalism continued after the wedding. He was always available to talk on the phone, and he delivered our photos on time. I'd say if you're going to invest in one thing for your wedding, make it your photographer; they help you cherish your wedding for the rest of your life. Thanks, Matthew.
