About
I'm Matthew Rigby, a Hudson Valley wedding photographer based in Garrison, NY, documenting weddings across Westchester, the Hudson Valley, and New York City.
With a decade of wedding photography experience and 15 years as an educator, I bring two complementary skill sets to every wedding day. I prepare thoroughly, communicate clearly, and stay calm when the day doesn't go according to plan.
On a wedding day, I document events as they unfold rather than directing them. About 90% of the day is candid, documentary-style coverage. For a small, planned part of the day, we create portraits together, but the rest of the time I'm working to be present without being in the way. Couples consistently tell me they didn't know I was there, but that I documented all the feeling of the moments that mattered.
I've photographed at venues throughout the Hudson Valley including Boscobel House and Gardens, The Garrison, The Ruins at Sassafras, and The Barn at Villa Venezia. I work with a small, trusted team and bring a second photographer to every full-day wedding.
Collections for full wedding day coverage start at $4,000 and are built to fit each couple's day. I customize every collection, because no two weddings are the same and the coverage shouldn't be either.
If what you're looking for is someone who will document your wedding honestly and be there without making it feel like a photo session, I'd love to hear from you.
