About

We're Matt and Paulette, partners in life and wedding photography.

We met when we worked for the same photography studio, fell in love, and married in 2008. Two dogs, four homes, and many adventures later, we’re still following our hearts. We LOVE photographing weddings, even when we get a bit competitive with each other (it's in a fun way, we swear). It's such an honor to be able to spend a day with a couple and the most important people in their lives, and we do our best to blend in and make sure everyone is comfortable.

We'd love to grab a coffee or connect online to learn more about your wedding vision and see if we'd be a good fit for your vibe!

10/10 experience, 10/10 people

Novella Photography was a great experience! They are so much fun, and are so very sweet. We explained to them that we wanted a lot of candids, and not spend a TON of time in formal portraits. They did just that! They were so fun, Paulette got on her husband's shoulders for some dance floor shots and that was honestly the coolest thing I ever saw. They crawl in bushes, roll on the ground, whatever they need to make sure you get the best photos! Loved it. AND we got so many sneak peek photos the day after the wedding! I was amazed at how quickly we got those back. So many people commented on how quick they were, and how amazing they looked. We just love them, and it is so hard to not want to put all of them up in our house. We got so many wonderful and beautiful photos to look back at, and we were so very happy with our experience! Would 100% recommend to any and everyone looking for photographers. They are both wonderful!

The perfect calm, gentle, loving, joyful energy for our wedding day

Wow, wow, wow!! We could not have been happier or more impressed with Paulette.

When choosing a photographer, we focused on finding examples of photos we loved (which we absolutely do!), but we had no idea how much more she would bring to the day. Paulette added the perfect mix of calm, collected confidence and joy—from the morning portraits to the last moments by the lake.

She took care of countless details we never would have thought of: finding the perfect path for couples photos, adding lights on the dance floor, hopping in a canoe to capture lakeside fun, and even sharing in the little moments that made the day so special.

We’re both normally awkward in front of a camera, but Paulette made us feel completely at ease. Many guests commented on how fantastic she was even before seeing the photos—and once we shared them, everyone agreed she captured the true feeling of the day.

If we could give more than five stars, we would. Highly recommend Paulette to anyone looking for stunning photos and an incredible experience!

Bride Tess

After booking our venue, photography was my number one priority and Novella and Paulette was easily the best decision I could have ever made. Paulette is a true talent and her unique perspective, experience and love for her craft came through in our gallery of wedding photos. I could not be more pleased, each time I look at our wedding photos I find a new favorite, and I cannot wait to start getting the printed and framed to display all over my house! Paulette made us so comfortable throughout the whole process and she had a true eye for capturing the most special moments of our big day. I’m so grateful to truly be able to relive the day through her photos.

Perfect experience

Paulette is amazing to work with! We wanted a candid approach to our wedding photos & she absolutely nailed it! Nothing was forced & it was all seamless. She was flexible with our schedule & went above and beyond. She has an incredible eye and captured our weekend perfectly! She even sent a ‘sneak peek’ the very next morning- which was an added bonus! She loves what she does and it shines through her photos!

Plus, she is a total sweetheart and EVERYONE raved (& are still raving) about her! Thank you so much, Paulette!!

Such a fun experience

This was such a fun and easy experience. Paulette understood exactly what we were going for, and she executed it to the highest standard. We couldn't believe we got to see a selection of photos a day after the wedding, it felt like such a privilege. The rest arrived promptly, and they're gorgeous. She captured the vibe of our day beautifully, and we can't recommend her enough.

Great Energy, Great Pictures!

We were the second couple in our family to choose Novella and we're so glad we did! They brought great energy to our wedding, and took some excellent photos too. They are fun, flexible, and took some awesome shots.

Dream Team!!

Paulette and Matt are the absolute best. We hired them for our wedding this past June, and they were beyond wonderful to work with from start to finish. Obviously their photos speak for themselves - they capture the candid moments that are full of heart, which is what we wanted most. They're also just lovely to work with - kind, fun, and communicative! They sent us a sneak peak days after the wedding, and our full album in just 4 weeks. We can't stop looking at the galleries, and we're SO glad we hired them. Look no further - Novella is the dream team!!

Novella Photography is the BEST choice!

Matt and Paulette were simply the best wedding photographers we could have asked for! It can be so difficult to truly take in all the moments throughout the day, and we are so grateful to both of them for capturing our guests and moments that we wouldn't have seen otherwise. It has been a treat to go back and look through photos, each time we see something new! So many beautiful candids and shots, we don't have a single photo we don't love. Thank you Paulette and Matt!

Incredible--we HIGHLY recommend hiring them!

We were SO happy with Novella Photography! We hired Matt and Paulette for our wedding, they were fantastic. They were so professional, communicative, and easy to work with, and their photos were incredible. They did a great job of capturing everything we wanted to get photos of, and a lot of things we hadn’t thought of but were great to have. Their photos are stunning–they’re lively, really well framed, and genuinely captured the love and excitement of our wedding. They took a great mix of portraits, staged photos (family shots, etc.), and action shots that captured the energy of us and our guests. And they sent us a sneak peak of some of our favorite photos almost immediately after the wedding, so we could share them with family and friends right away while we were waiting for the full album (which we got a few weeks later). We genuinely have only great things to say about Novella Photography–do yourself a favor and hire them!!

Oh my goodness. If we could give them a hundred stars we would!!! My partner and I could not have dreamed of a better duo to capture our wedding day.
