Professional and High Quality Photography!

I 100% recommend booking Matthew Rigby as your wedding photographer! He was in the truest sense the definition of a professional. He has all of the qualities that make a wedding photographer amazing. My wife and I were instantly impressed by his organization and communication. He took the time to get to know us over the phone by asking questions about our lives, our story, and what photo theme we were interested in. He had examples on his website for different styles that made our decisions easier. Prior to the wedding, he had an organized and detailed questionnaire that would ensure the wedding day goes smoothly. He made one of the most essential parts of a wedding (photography) so much less stressful on us. On wedding day, he continued to impress us. His organization, positive attitude, ability to stay structured, but also be flexible to our last minute requests was remarkable. We were able to enjoy part of our cocktail hour thanks to his quick work after the ceremony. One of my favorite qualities about Matthew was his ability to capture special moments and allow the bride and groom private and intimate moments to share on the wedding day during the reception. He pulled us aside to capture the most stunning sunset picture that is one of my favorite pictures and moments together! Later in the night, he reminded us again to have a moment outside of the venue to cherish each other as newlyweds, and yet again, captured incredible moments that I will always remember. The quality and artistic nature of Matthew's photos are exactly what you want on your wedding day. We will have these incredible pictures for years! We can tell that Matthew does wedding photography for the right reasons. He spent so much time with the bride and bridesmaids for the getting ready pictures prior to the event. He captured every important moment during the ceremony. He continued to spend hours at our reception capturing the party atmosphere during dancing, cake cutting, and all of the moments I will be able to remember and relive thanks to his attention to detail and experience as a wedding photographer. One unique feature at the end of the night was he printed and framed a few of the best photos from the night and gave them as gifts to the bride and groom, and parents of the bride and groom. Seeing the photos in person so quickly the night of the wedding and having something to take back with us was remarkable. We cannot recommend Matthew more highly. He is a true professional, and the photographs that he took, edited, and delivered to us for download are flawless! You will not regret for one moment booking Matthew Rigby as your wedding photographer!

Matthew Rigby Photography Review

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!

10/10 Would Recommend

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!

I HIGHLY recommend hiring Matt!

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.

Phenomenal photos!

Matthew was phenomenal. From our first meeting through the end of our wedding, Matthew was calm, friendly, organized, and professional, and he worked well with everyone from our grandparents to our 3-year-old ringbearer . We felt at ease with him in control of our wedding photos and could not be happier with the results--absolutely beautiful photos that tell the complete story of our wedding. Highly recommend!

Magical Kent Falls Wedding

Matthew was absolutely amazing from start to finish. I knew from our first phone call that he would be able to capture our photos exactly how I envisioned - and he exceeded my expectations!
Our engagement shoot in Coldspring was a great way to get to know each other and “break the ice” before the big day. We were comfortable being ourselves around him, and spent a majority of the time laughing.
Our wedding day at Kent Falls State Park was nothing short of magical. Matthew captured all of the details, emotions and more! We are extremely happy with the final photos and can not wait to display them and share them with our friends and family!
In between both photo shoots Matthew was always very responsive and quickly answered all of my questions and concerns leading up to the big day.

Amazing Photos

Working with Matt was an incredible experience. From the moment we found his website, we were immediately drawn to his style. About a month before the wedding, he took the time to go over every family and bridal party photo combination we wanted, creating a detailed, organized list. He also asked about any special moments or details we wanted captured, ensuring nothing was missed.

On the wedding day, Matt was exceptionally organized and efficient. The whole process felt seamless, which meant we spent less time posing for group photos and more time enjoying our day. He captured everything we asked for—and more.

When we received the photos, we were absolutely blown away by the quality and quantity. Every special moment we could have imagined was captured beautifully. Matt’s eye for composition, his artistic style, and the way he brings out colors in his photos really showcase his talent. If you're looking for an incredible photographer, we highly recommend booking him as soon as possible!

Hire Matthew!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Matthew for our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. From the initial call, every step of the process was seamless, organized, and professional.

Matthew made us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the day. Even during our first look, we truly felt like it was just the two of us and that we could be ourselves without cameras in our faces. During your wedding, you are with your photographer all day long, and to have someone as calm and patient as Matthew is a must.

One of the things we appreciated most was Matthew's ability to blend in with our guests while still managing to capture all the key moments. He were unobtrusive yet always in the right place at the right time.

The photos that we have already seen capture so much emotion and joy that take us back to moments we shared.

In addition to the amazing photos, Matthew went above and beyond printing two photos for us and placing the photos in frames the very night of our wedding. This extra step and attention to detail is a testament to his passion for the work and care for his clients.

We highly recommend Matthew to anyone looking for a wedding photographer who will go above and beyond to ensure your day is captured perfectly. Thank you, Matthew, for giving us such beautiful memories of our special day!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
