    In the Moment: Our Wedding

    Thank you so much for the lovely photos. We have access to our own album and are able to share with family and friends.

    We chose Matthew because he does an amazing job with catching "in the moment" action photos. His creativity and professionalism is natural. Thank you again for capturing our special day!

    Best Wedding Photographer!

    My husband I were married in Asheville on 7/4/2021 and hiring Matthew as our photographer was one of the first and best decisions we made when wedding planning. We met with 2 other photographers before making our decision. We loved Matthew’s style and we enjoyed talking with him during our initial meeting. We decided to go with the 10 hour package and the engagement session. We didn’t really think we needed to do an engagement session but we’re very glad we did. The pictures were taken in Greenville, SC and it was a great opportunity for us to interact with Matthew a little before the big day and practice taking photos together. The pictures definitely exceeded our expectations and Matthew made the experience not as awkward as we were expecting. For the wedding day Matthew came to my Airbnb to capture getting ready photos and his assistant photographer went to my husband’s Airbnb. They were both extremely professional and very flexible, especially when our ceremony went 90 minutes over. He kept checking in to make sure we got what we wanted and made the most of our shortened timeline. He sent us a sneak peak of about 70 photos a few days after the wedding and the rest about 6 weeks later, right on time despite the fact that it’s wedding season and he likely has a lot on his plate. We were blown away by the photos and we’re so glad we went with Matthew. Would 100% recommend!!

    Surpassed our expectations

    Matthew did an amazing job and really flowed with the punches throughout the day. Between wardrobe issues, people not meeting time hacks, and the change in venue from the ceremony and reception. He just made everything work and we even got our sneak peak within a few days.

    Matthew is extremely talented, organized, professional and so kind!

    We first learned of Matthew when our friends hired him as their photographer for engagement photos and their wedding. When I saw their engagement photos, I immediately felt like his style was a perfect match for what we were looking for—candid, beautiful and artistic. I found that I couldn’t stop smiling when looking through his various galleries and seeing all the incredible emotions and moments he captured. When we learned he had availability for our wedding date, we had a virtual meeting and from our first meeting felt very comfortable. Throughout the entire lead up of a few months to the day, he was excellent at communicating and preparing for everything. We really liked his approach to shooting the day and it was amazing how I even forgot that the camera was there!! During the wedding, we loved when he took some time with us to do some interesting shots. He brought an assistant photographer, Cassidy, who was very nice and helpful. We are so thankful we had the opportunity to have him as our photographer, and we highly recommend Matthew Pautz Photography!

    Super Hero Photographer, Stunning Masterpiece Photography

    Matthew is incredible! We originally hired him for our engagement photos in Asheville, NC. He blew us away with his artistic skills and comforting and fun personality. We knew right away we would not have anyone else capture our special day. Great news is that Matthew travels and has a special package for travel weddings, because we live in another state. Matthew is so good we even have friends booking him now from our area. The Wedding Day- Matthew and his team were phenomenal, nothing short of raw talent, hard work, and super hero abilities. I felt very comfortable with Matthew and team in our bridal suite, capturing precious memories with my bridesmaids and my mom as we got our hair and makeup done. The day had a perfect flow. Just like the drummer keeps the band together in rhythm, Matthew keeps the day together with his experience and direction. Matthew has the talent to capture real in-the-moment, raw, candid photos like no one I have ever seen. We are in love with our wedding photos, and we get so many compliments on them. I can't get over how superb the photos are and how many photos we got, I can't choose which ones I like best because everything from the first look, the ceremony, the reception and beyond are all equal contenders. We are super happy with Matthew and our photos, would book him again in a heartbeat.

    Matthew's Amazing!

    Matthew is absolutely amazing. His work is beautiful and he is a chameleon... on the wedding day I'd forget he was there because he's so calm and quiet. His easy going personality was the perfect fit for my now husband and me. We are so happy we selected Matthew to do our engagement and wedding photos -he is a true artist and such a kind person. I absolutely cannot recommend him enough!

    wonderful!

    Matthew is a total dream! His talent is incredible and his work is so unique. He already had 23 photos ready for me to see two days after the wedding and they were absolutely beautiful. Our bridesmaids and groomsmen loved him, as did our families. When my husband and I met him, we knew that he was going to be our photographer! Since we did not have a videographer, I wanted a photographer to make up for that and he sure did!

    Incredibly perfect service!

    Having representative, engaging, amusing, and high quality pictures of our wedding was one of our top wedding day priorities. We searched and contacted A LOT of photographers. When we found Matthew's website gallery, we reached out. He is so polite and his energy is incredible. We were quickly sold. Matthew is quick to communicate, incredibly polite, and shares a great energy. Leading up to and on our wedding day, he was wonderfully respectful, professional, and he engaged with us and our guests exactly as we requested. He is so creative and captured everything we asked for, as well as everything important that my wife and I never thought of. He captured our wedding in VERY high quality. He had a great turn-around time on the photos and he did not skip a single step. They all look fantastic! We were provided photos with the highest resolution, as well as a matching photo that is formatted perfectly for sharing on social media - what a smart idea. He also photographed my wife's bridal session and those photos are absolutely flawless. He fit his way in with all our other vendors, namely the videographer and DJ. The wedding went seamlessly, and we have Matthew to thank for a lot of that. Top notch guy. I recommend him to everyone.

    Choosing Matthew as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions my husband and I made! Working with Matthew was very easy. He really took the time to get to know Greg and me, which made us more comfortable when he was photographing our wedding. He really went above and beyond, and captured all the special moments of our wedding day! Matthew got our photos back to us so quickly, and the photos are absolutely stunning! I am so happy I'll have these photos to look at for the rest of my life!

    We couldn't have found a better photographer/artist to capture our special day!! Matthew is extremely talented and literally captures your wedding through the eyes of an artist. He doesnt just take pictures, he is able to capture the emotions of you, your guests, and the overall beauty of your venue. We had a wedding in the mountains at Pretty Place Chapel and the reception at Table Rock State park. To us, these places are beautiful and mean more to us than just a location. We love that his pictures reflect how beautiful we see these places in our eyes. We wanted more candid pictures than posed pictures and man did he do an amazing job!! I have so many pictured of my guests that they want printed for themselves as well. I also have to note that Pretty Place is a very challenging venue to shoot, as the background is very bright in contrast to the chapel. This was no problem for Matthew. He captured the amazing view and our faces in the posed pictures of our wedding party and family pictures.

    Matthew goes out of his way to be as creative as necessary to get the best shot. He is engaged and passionate, and that's what you hope for. Someone who is passionate and loves their job.

    He is worth every penny!! Don't skimp on your photos!! If you're going to spend money somewhere, spend it here!!

    Exceptional Photographer and Person

    Matthew was excellent before, during, and following our big day. The wide array of memories he provided from our wedding was exactly what we wanted. We were looking for more natural pictures from the day and did not want the typical variety of "posed" pictures, and he more than delivered.

    Once we received our printed album there was a small mistake with it - from the third-party vendor not Matthew. However, he sprung to action and made sure it was immediately corrected. I highly recommend choosing Matthew for your photo needs. He exceeded expectations.

    Matthew was so incredibly professional. It was an absolute breeze to work with Matthew. During our meeting we shared with him a little about us - even with that one meeting he was able to capture the very essence of us as a couple. His pictures came out better than I could have ever imagined.

    Best Decision  When looking for a wedding photographer, I wanted two things. I wanted beautiful pictures (obviously) and I want pictures that captured actual moments, not staged representations. Matthew does both of those things impeccably. As I look back on our wedding photos, I tear up every time, reliving each moment as if I was there. This is because the photos capture the purest of emotions, they aren’t staged, but rather Matthew expertly captured each special moment as it happened.
    I truly could not recommend Matthew more highly, he was a pleasure to work with, timely, communicative and our photographs are more than I could have ever asked for! Prior to the wedding, Matthew made us feel comfortable as we took our engagement photos. He took time to get to know our personalities and make sure that our relationship and love were the focus of our beautiful photographs. Because he did such a wonderful job with our engagement photos, I had no worries that he would do a wonderful job at the wedding. I have been to so many weddings where I see the photographer everywhere – they are in the middle of every special moment, making sure they get it on film. But to be honest, I can’t remember seeing Matthew once during the entire wedding, yet every moment is expertly photographed.
    In my personal opinion, wedding photographs are one of the most important decisions you make for a wedding and I believe I made the best choice possible in choosing Matthew Pautz to do our wedding photographs.

    Matt was awesome! From the start, he responded quickly and answered the million questions that I had! He was always there to give advice and share tips. We did our engagement and wedding photos with him and they are beautiful! He's laid back and relaxed and makes photographing you as comfortable as possible!
