We are so grateful we booked Matthew for our wedding photography. His thoughtfulness, professionalism, and organization were exactly what we were looking for. His eye for scenery and lighting also really set him apart.

Throughout our wedding journey, his thoughtful planning helped set a timeline for our big day. He listened to what we wanted, and his personalized schedule allowed for plenty of time with our guests while also composing beautiful shots.

On the day of the wedding, he made us feel comfortable just being ourselves and blended seamlessly into the background when needed. He also did not hesitate to suggest the small adjustments we needed to make a beautiful shot. We truly meant it when we told him we were most excited to work with him out of all of the vendors, and we would book him again and again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Matthew!

Matthew was the absolute best choice to capture our special day. He was thoughtful and warm while being extremely well-prepared and professional. He guided us through a seamless experience including advising us on when to take our pictures and where. He captured our very large family without forgetting a name and we ended 10 minutes ahead of schedule on a very hot day. Thank you, Matthew!

We had the pleasure of having Matthew be our wedding photographer on 6/20/2026. Leading up to the day, he was nothing but helpful and informative in providing us with information for how the day would go and how he would be a fly on the wall. He had previously worked at our venue which meant he was able to give us plenty of guidance on where the best photos would be for not only first look but also family photos. On the physical day, Matthew not only helped with last minute set up at the venue but was absolutely incredible with all our family. He made taking all the photos so easy and organized that it made the day run so smooth. We had let him know how we wanted to incorporate as much of the scenery around the venue into our photos and he absolutely crushed it. Every single photo from the beginning to end of the evening is incredible. He did an amazing job capturing all our friends and family throughout the event and we have so many candids that we’ve gotten to share with everyone. His talent is also unmatched - the lighting, the sunset photos, the aesthetics, all 10/10. Besides being an incredible photographer, he is also an incredible person. All our family and friends had nothing but the best things to say about him and those praises continue to come as people see the photos he took the day of. We couldn’t recommend Matthew more - absolutely incredible and we’re so thankful.

From our very first meeting, Matt took the time to get to know us as a couple. He wanted to understand our personalities and the kind of photos we actually wanted instead of giving us the same staged, cookie-cutter wedding pictures you see everywhere. We knew right away that he was the perfect fit.

At our engagement session, we had a fun idea since we were getting married on 7/11—we asked if we could take photos inside a 7-Eleven, and without hesitation, Matt was all in. That perfectly sums him up. He’s creative, flexible, and always willing to embrace your vision, no matter how unique it is. To make things even better, our engagement shoot ended up taking place in the rain. Instead of calling it off or letting the weather get in the way, Matt embraced it and created some incredible photos that we absolutely love. He truly knows how to make the best of any situation.

On our wedding day, everything ran so smoothly. We hired two photographers since the bridal party and groomsmen were getting ready in different locations, and thank you Matthew for bringing along Kevin. He was an amazing addition to the team. The groomsmen absolutely loved him. He brought such a relaxed, fun energy that made a room full of guys—who definitely weren’t excited about taking pictures—actually enjoy the experience. He encouraged their goofy ideas while still making sure they got great shots, and it made a huge difference.

Another thing that really stood out was how great Matt is with kids. If you have children in your wedding party, you’ll appreciate his patience and ability to keep them engaged. As a teacher himself, he’s organized, professional, and incredibly calm under pressure.

One thing we specifically told Matt was that we didn’t want to spend our entire cocktail hour taking photos. He completely respected that. He kept everything organized and efficient, and because of that, we actually got to enjoy our cocktail hour with our guests—a memory we’ll always be grateful for.

The finished photos are absolutely stunning. His editing style is timeless and natural, and every image feels authentic to us.

At the end of the day, beautiful photos are the goal, but the experience matters just as much. You spend more time with your photographer on your wedding day than almost anyone else. If you don’t feel comfortable with them, it shows in the pictures. Matt is easygoing, personable, and someone who genuinely makes you feel relaxed and like yourself. That’s exactly why our photos turned out so naturally.

We can’t recommend Matthew Rigby Photography highly enough. If you want photographers who are talented, creative, organized, and genuinely fun to spend your wedding day with, they’re the team to book.

I cannot recommend Matthew enough! For my surprise proposal to my girlfriend, he literally went above and beyond. On our video call consultation, I had suggested a viewpoint on Bull Hill in Cold Spring but we couldn't find a lot of photos of the exact spot—so Matthew actually hiked all the way up there a few days early just to scope it out and make sure it was perfect!

On the day of the proposal, he arrived early to ensure everything went flawlessly and blended into the landscape beautifully. My now-fiance remembers noticing him but thought he was just another hiker enjoying the views. The natural photos he captured of us at the viewpoint and in the surrounding area are stunning. Matthew's dedication and meticulous preparation made us feel totally at ease. If you want a photographer who is adventurous, professional, queer-friendly, and willing to put in extra mileage (and elevation!) to get the perfect shot, Matthew is your guy!

Couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Matthew Rigby Photography. They totally understood our vibe and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. The photos are everything we hoped for — natural, joyful, and so us. We’re beyond happy with how everything turned out.

Matthew Rigby Photography is the best of the best and is unmatched in professionalism and true passion for capturing the perfect moments. Over the last few months, I had begun my process of looking for the right photographer to help me perfect my dream proposal for my girlfriend of 7 years. Having no experience in looking for photographers, I sent out inquiries to many local ones. Within an hour of sending these out, I received an email from Matthew who asked to set up a zoom meeting the next day. After jumping on the call, it was evidently clear that Matthew shared my vision of creating a great proposal and was willing to help in any way possible not just as a photographer but also as a proposal planner.

Over the next few weeks, we talked almost daily about different plans and eventually settled on one that seemed best. Being unfamiliar with the venue I planned to propose at; he even met me there a week prior to do a walk through of the entire property, so I was prepared for the big day. With weather jeopardizing the proposal, Matthew had come up with plan A, B and C to ensure the day was still special, despite the rain.

The weather ended up holding out and the proposal went even better than planned, thanks to Matthew. Less than 24 hours after the proposal and our photo shoot, Matthew sent us our photo album so we could share with friends and family. The photos came out unbelievable, and Matthew helped us capture a moment we will never forget!

We LOVED working with Matthew for our wedding photography! He was so professional, skillful, and caring and was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was incredibly organized leading up to the wedding, making a schedule together with us and answering any questions we had. He helped the day of the wedding run very smoothly and made sure we got all the pictures we wanted. Him and his team were amazing at blending into the crowd to capture every moment without being in the way. Matthew even got some preview photos back to us right after the wedding which we already LOVE! We highly recommend working with him!

My husband and I are both graphic designers, so we had high expectations — and Matt absolutely delivered. He documented our elopement so beautifully; every photo feels like a piece of art and a true reflection of the day. He was incredibly easy to work with, made us feel totally comfortable in front of the camera, and brought such a positive, calm energy to the experience. Matt is both enthusiastic and hardworking, with a sharp eye for detail and a real gift for framing moments in a way that feels natural and cinematic. We’re so grateful, and frankly honored, to have had him capture our day.

My Husband & I had the pleasure of working with Matt from our Engagement Shoot to our Wedding day 10/12/24! He is so organized, creative, and fun to shoot with! Our wedding photos are above and beyond anything we hoped for. Matt truly captured our vision start to finish. I can’t say enough about how professional Matt is and the quality of work that he provides. He worked with us step by step creating and altering our wedding day timeline making sure everything fell into place perfectly. Matt captured the most special day of our lives, We are forever grateful for the beautiful pictures he took. So glad that we chose him! Highly recommend Matthew Rigby Photography!
