About

I specialize in relaxed and natural wedding photography. My approach is that by allowing you to be yourself, your natural smile and laughs will come out. None of that stuffy rigid posing here. Be yourself - dance around, hold each other and let me take care of capturing those moments. Rates start just under $3,000, but most couples choose to invest more for a complete package with a 2nd photographer and complete album.

I love the Philadelphia area and all of the different locations that we can make some very special images for you. I like to get to know each of my couples, to the point that I can show up on your wedding day being thought of as a good friend with a fancy camera. The more relaxed you are with your photographer, the better pictures you'll get, so lets meet up sometime and talk about your wedding.

Erik did a terrific job with the photography at our wedding! My sister had hired Erik for her wedding two years before and the pictures were amazing! He is very flexible, upbeat, took the time to learn everyone's name in the party and paid close attention to detail. THANK YOU ERIK!

I would absolutely recommend Erik Matey!!!! He is wonderful, extremely talented and very professional! He did my boudoir shoot and our wedding and I couldn't be happier with the photos he produced! He captured the beautiful moments I will always remember! His assistant was just as great and they worked so well together! I highly recommend Erik for future weddings and boudoir shoots! I can promise we will be using him for future special moments like maternity and family photos!!
