So fun and easy to work with, amazing photos

Matthew was one of the first vendors we hired for our wedding. After interviewing a couple photographers, we went with him for a couple reasons. First, his style. He took great "standard" portrait style photos but also took some more risks and did some more unique or artistic shots. We love that we got a mix of both. Second, he was generally easy to talk to and funny. We though he'd be a nice calming presence on the day of (we were right!). Third, we thought it was cool that he worked with his wife as a second shooter. I assumed that would mean they could work together effortlessly in a way that another duo might not be able to. Last, we really didn't want to do a first look and wanted to make sure we found a photographer who wouldn't try to convince us to do that and who could work quickly and efficiently after the ceremony to get us to the party as fast as possible!

All the reasons we chose him really shone through on the day of, and everything went perfectly. Matthew and his wife were wonderful and fun to work with. We just got our pictures back this week, and are simply overwhelmed with how many wonderful shots he got. The day goes by so fast, and you really feel like you hardly got to be a part of it. Having all these pictures helps me relive it, and get to feel like I didn't miss anything.

We look forward to working with Matthew any time we need professional photos in the future. We are also happy to share our photos with anyone as I know it was important to me to see full albums, not just highlights, before I selected someone.

100% Recommend!

Matt and Peggy were SO amazing to work with! They captured every moment perfectly, and our photos turned out amazing!! The style of the photos are so natural, and not forced at all. I feel we got our pictures back very quickly with such great quality, and we even received a lot of sneak peaks just a few days right after the wedding. It's been just over two months since our wedding and our bridal party and family is still talking about how fun Matt and Peggy were to work with and be around throughout the day. Not only are they great photographers, but they're genuinely fun people to be around - which is important if you're spending all day with them! I cannot recommend Matthew Thwing Photography enough!

Excellent Photography Team & Experience!

We are so happy to have had Matthew Thwing Photography capture our wedding! Matt was excellent to work with, before the wedding, during engagement photos, and during the wedding. He made us feel comfortable and at ease during the entire thing. He was also very flexible and accommodating as we were from out of town. Matt, and his wife Peggy, captured absolutely everything that happened during our wedding day. They were great at providing direction and making sure everything we wanted was captured, including things we thought of spur of the moment! We love our photos and would wholeheartedly recommend Matthew Thwing Photography. Thank you so much!!
