Melissa G. Sent on 11/21/2023Local Embers & Co. are an absolute dream to work with!
My husband and I are not comfortable being in front of a camera and they made taking our engagement & wedding photos so relaxed and fun. And our photos turned out AMAZING!!! They even captured some great moments of the guests that were at the wedding and my 3-year-old nephew being his silly self. They were professional, got everything I had asked for, and made the whole experience stress free. Matt & Lindsey are wonderful and we will be hiring them again for all of our photographic needs in the future (we have also taken maternity and family photos with them since the wedding). I cannot recommend them enough! -

Y’all. You need to hire Matt and Lindsey at Local Embers for anything and everything involving your photography dreams and desires. I’ve been following their work for years and hired them for my wedding a few seconds after we got engaged.
My husband and I had never had professional photos done before and were definitely nervous that we would look uncomfortable in our photos. But, these guys are photographic superheroes. They had us laughing and at ease throughout our engagement and wedding photo sessions. The quality of their work will be our most special memories that we will cherish forever. They will go above and beyond to make sure you (look like you) had the most perfect wedding day. Hire these people right now. You won’t regret it. -

Working with Local Embers was nothing short of an amazing experience. Not only did Matt capture all the traditional moments you want to remember from your wedding day, he took so many candids of special moments that I will treasure forever. Everyone was giving us compliments on how lovely our photos were though no one at the wedding could recall seeing him in the middle of the action; he made the day feel natural and special while being there for every moment. In addition to beautiful wedding photos, Matt was so flexible with us. We had bridal portraits as part of our package, but we were planning our wedding from a different state and never made it in to take them. So, he offered to take an anniversary shoot for us instead a year later—it was such a fun, relaxed shoot, especially for my husband and me since we don’t love having our pictures taken. He’s great at keeping a flow of easy conversation and getting a wide variety of different poses. On top of all that, I never had to wait more than a few hours for a response from him, which was the best communication we had out of any of our wedding vendors. I cannot recommend using Local Embers enough! -

Matt and Lindsey were incredible to work with. The two of them together have a way of making you feel so comfortable in front of the camera (genuine belly laughs captured) these photos and the whole experience is one we will cherish for a lifetime. Lindsey pulled me aside several times to be sure if i wanted more solo shots with my groom and timed everything perfectly so we could sneak away during the reception and get some special moments. Even though we had some covid wedding struggles these two were there to support us through all of it and all of the last minute changes. I cannot recommend them enough! -

Matt and Lindsey are legitimate rock stars! They were such a joy to work with through out our whole wedding process, especially through a pandemic! Throughout the whole process they catered everything to our desires and used their expertise to make everything achievable. They are such a fun loving couple and complement each other perfectly in their work! Matt helped us feel so relaxed throughout all of the pictures and had us belly laughing with his fun and vibrant personality. Lindsey was wonderful in helping us manage our time throughout the wedding and breaking up our pictures throughout the wedding reception to cater to our desire to shorten our cocktail hour. We received all of our photos sooner than we would have ever expected and it was easy to access. The pictures truly captured the best moments of our wedding that we will cherish them for a lifetime. You would be missing out on people that do great work and are a blast to be around. We can't recommend them enough! -

Mikaila E. Sent on 04/05/2020They are AMAZING! They truly exceeded all of our wedding photo expectations!
They are absolutely wonderful. We had both our engagement, and wedding photos done with them and they made us feel so comfortable. My husband and I have never taken professional photos so they were so helpful in that aspect! Their work is incredible and unlike anything i've seen. They made us look so good! -

The Very Best!
We could not be happier with our photos!! Matt and Lindsey did both our engagements and wedding, and everything with them was a great experience. We were comfortable throughout our session and on our big day (even my husband who hates taking pictures). They captured our personalities and told the story of our day SO perfectly. You will not be disappointed choosing them to capture your special season of life! -

Katherine Sent on 07/23/2019Fabulous photographers!!
We hired Local Embers to be our engagement & wedding photographers and they haven’t disappointed yet. Our engagement photos came out even better than expected! Their ability to capture love and light and natural smiles and expressions is just incredible (and I myself am a photographer so I’m definitely picky). We can’t wait until our wedding!!! -

Kendall W. Sent on 10/07/2019Amazing photos and photographers
Matt & Lindsay are the best! Having a destination wedding, I had to compromise on a lot of things but the one thing I had to have was good photography. They ended up being amazing! They make you feel totally comfortable and natural when you’re in front of the camera. I wanted natural feeling, candid photos that looked awesome and they delivered. I would book them again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a photographer for their wedding/elopement -

Can we have another wedding so we can hang out again?
So happy with our photos from our engagement session and wedding!! I carefully and diligently researched photographers, looked up prices and portfolios, and had my short list of options but after my husband and I met with Matt we made our decision and told him we were all in before we even left.
Matt made us feel so comfortable, it feels like you have known their family for ages. Their love shines and is just so reassuring through the chaos that is engagement. Neither of us have ever had professional photos taken and having them done is now some of my favorite memories rather than a time that could have been stressful or full of self consciousness.
Matt was in contact quickly and consistently throughout the planning process, let us know what to expect and answered all our questions. Our photography is truly the best money we spent on the wedding and if anything I wish we had another event as an excuse to hire them again. -

Karlie E. Sent on 01/10/2019The dream photography couple
Having Local Embers & Co. capture our wedding day was honestly a dream. Matt and Lindsey are a precious couple to work with. They are so intentional and you can easily tell how much they care about making your big day special. If you have any questions, they get back with you very quickly. They always made me feel like no question was too small. The best part is that you can tell how much they LOVE their job. Matt and Lindsey made us feel at peace on our wedding day and creatively captured all of our special moments so beautifully. It is the most comforting thing knowing that you will have amazing pictures after. We could not have asked for better pictures that we will forever look at to remember the most special day of our lives. -

HOLY COW! the. best. photographers. i can’t imagine having anyone else there to capture our day. matt and lindsey make you feel so comfortable in front of the camera, they are so creative, and are awesome at their job. they also captured my proposal and did our engagement pics. they are so organized and make sure everything runs smoothly. i got married a few months ago and people are still asking us about our pictures because they were freakin awesome. i’m so happy that these are the pictures we get to look at forever. i would have paid 1 million dollars if i knew it would have turned out that good. wow. local embers all the way!! -

Chloe Sent on 09/28/2018MATT & LINDSEY ARE THE BEST!!! My husband and I absolutely loved having them as our wedding photographers! Not only are they incredibly talented and intentional with their work; they are just wonderful people to be around. Matt has a upbeat and funny personality that made our engagement photo session full of genuine laughter and joy. Lindsey is super patient and encouraging which made the hours before and during our wedding, smooth and authentically beautiful. They knew exactly what to do and where to be without being asked and were there for Johnny and I every step of the way. It is so cool to see a sweet couple do what they love together and do it SO WELL. Use them for any event and you won’t be disappointed! I could not be more satisfied and grateful for their selflessness and talent in capturing our special day through photos & videography.

Brooke Sent on 09/30/2018Local Embers & Co. are an awesome husband and wife duo that took our beautiful wedding photos and created a highlight video for us! They were very calm, flexible, and encouraging the whole time. I know for most brides the wedding day can be a little overwhelming and they did everything and more to simply make our time enjoyable and worry-free. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone searching for photographers or videographers---the highlight video was the best decision we made, it captures every little moment of our special day in 8 wonderful minutes! I tear up watching it every time and loved being able to share it with our friends and family! So if you're looking, I would look no further, they are incredibly passionate about what they do and eager to share that with others.

Beautiful Photos and an Awesome Couple
Matt and Lindsey were both so amazing to work with! They were not only responsive and super helpful, but they were so flexible and even made it out to our rehearsal dinner to take photos. Aside from their easy and fun personalities, they take such beautiful photos! I was so excited to work with them, and they did not disappoint! We still get compliment after compliment for our beautiful wedding photos. I am so glad I found them and will definitely be reaching out when we need special occasion or family photos in the future. I can't say enough nice things about this lovely couple or their beautiful photos! -

Danielle Sent on 06/03/2018Everyone tells us, but we already knew, never go for less than the best when it comes to wedding photos. Matt and Lindsey truly are artists at their craft, and their photos are so beautiful and unique. We did not just get wedding photos, we received a story of our day captured in the most beautiful way we can imagine. You will notice right when looking at their work, they are different and unique. What you can’t see, but all the reviews below concur with, is how wonderful they are as people. Matt and Lindsey are also soulmate lovebirds, new parents, and the perfect friendly strangers to have around on your big day. They try to make you feel as comfortable as possible and being yourself and happy on your big day is as easy as if you were by yourselves. We wanted amazing photos, but with an editorial feel and no super cheesy poses and clichés. Matt and Lindsey got that, and our pictures turned out magical!
We had our wedding in Chicago and never for a second doubted that Matt and Lindsey would be dependable. We did not stress about them making their flights or finding the hotels and venues, etc. They made a massive effort to capture the moments but not impose on them.
Their photos speak for themselves, you can see that you should book them. But as people, believe us when we say you can’t find more a more dependable and wonderful couple to work with!
We look forward to having you capture us as a family one day down the line
Richard & Danielle

Rebecca Sent on 02/27/2018I used Local Embers to photograph my entire wedding journey including my engagements, bridals, rehearsal dinner, and the wedding day. Matt was my photographer and he was very professional. He was so fun to be around and made the awkward parts funny. Lindsey did an amazing job at editing all the pictures! They turned out even more beautiful than I could of ever imagined. They were also very flexible on working out times with me and were willing to travel a couple of hours to come do my bridals on my family’s land. Choosing Local Embers as your photographer for your special day will be a choice that you definitely won’t regret!
