  The best decision we made

  We heard about Matt through friends of ours, after he photographed their wedding in Italy. After we got engaged ourselves, we shopped around for a photographer local to us in Philadelphia, but couldn’t get Matt’s photos (or Instagram feed) out of our minds. His work is so distinctive. So moody. So stunning. So unlike 99% of everything else that’s out there.
  
  For someone who has been named one of the best wedding photographers in America (according to Brides, three years running), Matt is impossibly humble and down to earth. There are very few people we would have wanted to be in such close proximity with for so much of our wedding day. Flying him out to Pennsylvania to document our big day was one of the best decisions we made in the 12+ months we spent planning. This became even more clear after we had an unexpected 90-minute timeline delay and Matt single handedly got us back on track, with a Plan B that surpassed everything we’d envisioned for Plan A.
  
  I don’t know what we were more impressed by: his speed/efficiency (especially with family photos!) or his skill (especially his ability to find the best light, frame the shot, and get two people who are admittedly camera-shy to relax and just be in the moment).
  
  We wanted the opposite of a cookie cutter wedding album, someone who would put us both at ease in front of the camera, someone who would be great with our guests, and someone who would capture memories made to last a lifetime. Matt (over)delivered on every front. If he has your date free, waste no time getting that contract signed!

  My Go To Photographer for all my couples

  Matt is hands down one of the BEST photographers I have had the honor of working with. His has the ability to capture some of the most stunning photos I have ever seen. Every couple is floored with their wedding album and have nothing but great things to say about it. I trust him to take care of the couples I send his way and know that they will cherish those photos forever. And I love having his work in my portfolio :)

  Matt is the best in the business, hands down. He flew with us to St. Lucia for our elopement and he was an absolute pleasure to work with. He is so extremely talented in all ways. He is also a really cool guy and makes you feel really comfortable while he makes you look like a movie star on camera. I would highly recommend him, whether in the USA or anywhere in the world.

  If you are looking for the world's most incredible photographer... Here he is!
  
  I never wanted the "normal" wedding photos, I want bold, striking, unique, gallery worthy photos of my wedding day!... That's what you'll get with Matt Lien.
  
  But if you just want the boring, traditional wedding photos, Matt can do that too! ;)
  He is creative, imaginative, and professional! I wouldn't trust any other photographer.

  Still waiting to get all of our photographs from the wedding, but I expect nothing but excellence when it comes to Matt and his work. He has such a great talent with wedding photography, capturing our personalities and love so perfectly. Our engagement session with him was amazing too!

  Matt is great! I would recommend him to anyone. He is great at capturing the story of the day. He isnt big on the formal pics (which he certainly does) but his specialty is the pics where you dont know he is there. He captures BEAUTIFUL images and his outdoor pics are nothing short of amazing. He has a wonderfully artistic eye and will keep you calm and relaxed. He is easy to work with and loves to be creative. Affordable and worth EVERY penny. He is up and coming and please check him out.

  Matt Lien did an absolutely amazing job with our wedding! He was super flexible and fun. I love the way he is able to capture personalities, and not just posed smiles. He was also great at reading me when i was unsure about sitting in the grass in my white dress... We found a sweatshirt for me to sit on so I was able to get the cool shots, but didn't have to worry about getting my dress dirty. Definitely recommend him for MN weddings. Go check out his blog!!

  Matt was a great value and really laid back. He did a great job of capturing the day and being flexible. I know he worked really hard that day and am very grateful for his services. He also did a good job positioning us best as possible to look good and was very congenial. You may have to wait a bit longer to get your photos returned, because Matt was soooo busy, but that may have just been this year. However, I also appreciated that he'd weeded out most of the "junk" so I didn't have to do it. I was really happy with each and every photo. Only difference: Wish I would have gotten a second shooter to make it easier on him and get more good stuff!

  We absolutely love our wedding and engagement photos by Matt Lien! They are exactly what he hoped for and capture our wedding and our relationship so perfectly. He was wonderful to work with, always pleasant and flexible. He made us comfortable in front of the camera and made our photos look nature and genuine.
