    Amazing photos!

    Matt and Nicole photographed our NYE wedding in the Catskills and they did a wonderful job! The pictures turned out beautifully. We were impressed with how quickly they were able to get our group photos done even though we had a big wedding party. This was especially appreciated since we opted for outdoor photos and it was cold! They were also very communicative throughout the process, including leading up to the wedding and during the wedding day. Despite our large wedding (185+), they captured almost everyone in attendance in at least one picture. We know we’ll really appreciate that in the years to come as we continue to look back at the photos in our album.

    Highly Recommend Matt Stallone!

    When I started planning my wedding, photography was my #1 priority. The way I see it, our photos are the only tangible things we'll still have when the day is over, and I want to love them! So I spent A LOT of time researching the perfect photographer, and once I saw Matt's photos, I couldn't get them out of my head. He is so incredibly talented, and yet extremely laid back and easy to work with.

    I was super nervous about our engagement session since it was my first time posing for a photo shoot, but the second we met Matt in Central Park, my fiancé and I both felt relaxed and ended up having a blast! The whole process felt natural and fun, and at times I forgot we were posing for photos.

    I had also been worried because I had done a makeup trial that morning and really hated how I looked. I was concerned that it would ruin the photos. But Matt is such a magician that despite my makeup mishap, the photos came out looking absolutely stunning! He is such a wizard at capturing light and striking natural, candid poses.

    I also really appreciated his creativity: Right as we were leaving the park, Matt spotted a flower bed. Most people wouldn't have even noticed it, but Matt's brain works so quickly and finds inspiration and opportunity in the smallest things! He asked us if we'd be willing to lay down in the flowers (which of course we were), and I swear those are some of my favorite shots from the session.

    Finally, Nicole, Matt's wife and partner, is an absolute doll! She has experience as a wedding planner/coordinator and it really shows - she is so organized and such an amazing communicator. She'll also be taking photos at our wedding, and I could not be more excited to work with both of them. Highly recommend hiring this power couple for your wedding!

    Our favorite vendor (two years in a row)!

    We had the BEST experience with Matt and his team for both of our wedding celebrations (2020 minimony and 2021 vow-renewal/reception). They are SO FUN to work with, and their photos captured our big days in such a magical way that looking through them takes us right back into those special moments.

    Matt and Nicole are true professionals - very communicative leading up to wedding day, prompt in their responses and always paying close attention to detail. They worked with us to design an overall package that worked with our vision and budget, and they had great ideas when it came to scheduling photos around our main events. They were very patient and flexible as we changed our plans, and their ability to go-with-the-flow on each day-of avoided a lot of potential stress and ensured we had more than enough spectacular photos, even when things didn't go according to plan.

    Matt has a great eye for capturing joy, and we appreciated his ability to set up spectacular portraits while blending into the background for the more candid shots. He is open to new ideas and isn't fazed by goofy poses, chaotic families, energetic puppies, or accidental projectiles. We loved working with him and cannot recommend him highly enough!

    The best!

    Hiring Matt and Nicole was absolutely the best decision we made for our wedding! From the moment we had our first phone call, they made us feel like friends and throughout the entire planning process would check in to see if we had any questions or needed advice. On the day of our wedding, they were so organized and ensured that we stuck to our timeline, all while taking the most incredible photos that tell the story of our day. Matt is truly a magician with the camera. Hire them, you will not be disappointed!!!

    Highly recommend!

    Working with Matt and Nicole was one of the easiest decisions my (now) husband and I had made throughout our entire wedding planning experience. In fact, they were the first vendor that we hired once we saw a “sample” album at our venue - it was amazing!

    We started working with them shortly after our engagement in 2019 and they immediately made us feel comfortable despite my husband and I being totally awkward in front of the camera. But with Matt, it just felt natural and his vision is like no other! He makes suggestions, he takes suggestions but he also keeps it fun. So much so, that we have now worked with him on 3 separate occasions - our engagement shoot, the ceremony day and the reception day!

    That being said, they have been so flexible and accommodating throughout the many changes we had to make to our wedding day due to the pandemic. And as if that’s not enough, they made sure to check in with me to see how I was doing as I worked throughout the entire duration in my position as a night RN. So if that’s not a testament to their character, I don’t know what is.

    I truly couldn’t imagine working with anyone else, and would highly recommend! As a matter of fact, my family hired them again for my brothers recent wedding which took place in a completely different season, and it was equally as beautiful. Two different seasonal vibes, but undoubtedly the same amount of love and happiness captured.

    Our beautiful album will be cherished for years to come! And we are forever grateful.

    Exactly who we wanted!

    Matt knew exactly what kind of pictures we wanted. Partially because he, and Nicole, talked to us a lot before the wedding day, asked all the right questions, and had us fill out an online questionnaire to be sure they got all the details right. Matt is a brilliant artist, who can see the beauty in all people, places, and situations, and capture that on film. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone who wants to preserve their memories with pictures!

    Exceptional, artistic photos.

    Matt and Nicole love love and you see that in the photos. Our photos are spectacular. They are truly beyond anything I could have dreamed.
    Matt and Nicole let us get specific with our requests and honored them ALL perfectly. However it's the photos that were Matt's ideas that are the best - like the photos that led us to hire him.
    Pre Wedding:
    We did not meet Matt or Nicole until the day of. Engagement shoots are not a part of his wedding packages. Prior to the wedding, we spoke on the phone twice & filled out a survey. I decided to let go and trust and I'm so glad I did.
    Day of: Matt and Nicole were prepared, calm, easy-going, (yet authoritative with where to stage photos and how to coordinate group looks.) They were great to talk to - especially during the bride and groom photo shoot. We spent a lot of time laughing with them.
    Post-wedding: It took about five weeks to get our photos. We went to their studio and had champagne and hors d'oeuvres. It was wonderful. We ended up spending half-again what we paid for the photos on our wedding album (through them) but that is because we loved the photos so much. I am sure if we had told them we didn't want to spend that money, they would have helped us trim down the album size. We are thrilled with the results and would recommend them to everyone we love.

    Magical Photos

    Working with Matt and Nicole at Matt Stallone Photography was a no-brainer. From the moment we saw their portfolio and the beautiful images they produced for good friends, we knew we wanted them on our team. They were so responsive, professional, and organized. They scheduled a call early into our planning to assess what we wanted to capture with our photos. My husband and I shared how important capturing authentic photos was to us especially since I am camera-shy and don’t know how to pose for a camera. Matt and Nicole calmed our nerves and made us feel comfortable on our very first call. This ability to ease nerves carried onto both our engagement shoot and wedding day photos. Struggling to feel comfortable in my skin, I was on edge during our engagement shoot. However, you would never be able to tell from the beautiful images Matt delivered. It was clear that he could sense my hesitation and anxiety and did his absolute best to make us comfortable and relaxed. We couldn’t believe how stunning the engagement photos turned out. The lighting, vivid colors, and authenticity were just palpable.
    Matt and Nicole are such a great team and so in tune with each other and their clients. They truly understand that each couple is unique and can capture that well.
    Fast forward to our wedding day, Matt and Nicole scoped out our first look location, even though it was an additional 45 minutes from our getting ready location. Matt and Nicole are easygoing, willing to try anything, and listen to the client. Even though the first-look location was out of the way and had the potential of delaying the wedding, they were on board. They were well prepared after having done several walk-throughs to find us the best shots at the location.
    They were prompt and ready to rock and roll when they arrived at the hotel. However, on our wedding day, my dad ended up in the hospital. I was extremely heartbroken and a mess, but they were supportive and empathetic while ensuring we captured beautiful images that could be shared with my dad proudly. There were several changes to our original game plan and they rolled with the punches. They were so good about keeping my husband and I on track and reminding us of our shot list request. They were determined to capture all of the photos we had requested. It was such a pleasure working with them and we can't wait to work with them again soon when we do our family portraits with Dad. We plan to work with Matt and Nicole for years to come!!!

    Hiring Matt for our engagement photoshoot and for our wedding was easily the best decision we made! We actually found Matt (before we even found our venue) at a bridal show. He wasn't recommended to us by anyone, his photographs speak for themselves. They are absolutely stunning, and our engagement and wedding photos came out so perfect, my family and I will treasure them forever. Matt is extremely nice, professional, and our families loved him. He is one person, and it amazed me, and everyone that was at my wedding, how many candid shots he got. He's quick and quiet, and you barely even know he is there taking pictures during the ceremony and reception. We will have flawless, timeless, perfect photos of our wedding for the rest of our lives, and we have Matt to thank for that. He is an amazing artist, and everyone should book him for their wedding. I recommend him immediately to everyone I know once I hear they are getting married, and will continue to always do so. Thank you, Matt, for being apart of our big day!

    So excited that we are using Matt Stallone Photography for our wedding! Our wedding is next summer but we just took our engagement photos a few weeks ago. I have to say I have a hard time being the center of attention and having photos taken of me. Matt put my fiancé and I completely at ease and was so laid back and easy to work with. We just got our engagement photos back and we cannot believe how incredible they came out! I posted the photos on Facebook and my family and friends cannot stop commenting on how beautiful and romantic the photos are. My one friend said they even brought her to tears. Choosing Matt was once of the best decisions we have made so far in the planning process and we cannot wait until our wedding so we can see how he captures our special day. We would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone! Thank you Matt!!!!

    Choosing a photographer for our wedding was one of the biggest decisions we had to make during our wedding planning process. We took our time speaking with many photographers and after talking to Matt, we knew that he was the photographer we wanted for our wedding. It was truly the best decision we made!
    Matt and his wife, Nicole, are the most AMAZING team! They are so incredibly friendly and easy to work with, it is like having two more of your friends with you on your wedding day. Matt and Nicole helped to make our wedding day as incredible as it could be with their experience, creativity, and ability to capture each and every emotion and detail. Matt is extremely talented and has creative ideas that capture amazing shots, while Nicole has an eye for detail and the ability to make everyone feel comfortable and excited throughout the day. We were able to relive our wedding day, laughing and crying (tears of joy), looking through our wedding photo album. We highly recommend choosing Matt and Nicole, you will not be disappointed!

    Look, I want to do more than just echo the rave reviews that are already populating this page and make something perfectly clear: Matt Stallone, and his amazing wife and partner Nicole, are artists, and geniuses, and pros, and when your day is over and gone you will only have your memories and THESE PHOTOS. Anyone can document your day and who was there, Matt will bring it to life for you over and over again. He captured our feelings and our personalities in these photos, and I feel humbled and proud to be the subject of such incredible art. Your day is magical, but imagine the power to relive it anytime you like for the rest of your life. To be able to share the images of those memories with your children in a way that will truly transport them to your moment. To be able to say that your day and your love was the subject of this sensational artwork. I have a very short list of possessions that I would say I deeply treasure, one or two family heirlooms, letters from my grandfather, my engagement ring, my pets and these photos. So if you are reading this and looking for a photographer I recommend the following: Step one: check Matt's availability. Step two: change your wedding date to coincide with Matt's availability.

    Dear Matt and Nicole, Andrew and I could not have been happier on our wedding day, thanks to you and Nicole. You blew us out of the water with your flexibility, kindness, promptness, attention to detail, and overall professionalism. Our day was so so perfect, and we are elated that we chose you to capture the moments that we will cherish forevermore. I will happily pass your name along to friends for their upcoming weddings. You guys are truly amazing! Thank you so much!

    My husband and I are SOOOO Grateful that we picked Matt to shoot our wedding. From our first meeting with Matt, we knew that not only was he super friendly, laid back, fun but also that he was very very passionate for photography and telling our wedding story. His photos captured all the details and emotion from the day that we forgot even occurred. Matt was straightforward, open, honest, and detailed with everything we wanted to know and more. We had done our research and came with a ton of questions... all of which he was ready and able to answer, and it was so nice to feel like there were no catches or hidden loop holes like so many of the photography companies out there.

    Matt was a little higher priced than some of the other wedding photographers that we were originally looking at, but you absolutely get what you pay for. If photography is important to you, we highly highly recommend going with Matt Stallone Photography!

    Just wanted to say thank you for taking the most BEAUTIFUL pictures a bride and groom could ask for. And not only did you capture our big day perfectly, but you made the entire photography process a wonderful experience. You are so easy to talk to and work with which made everything so relaxing for us. Your talent really shines through in our candid shots. You were able to capture the emotion of the day in every shot you took. Everything we have seen so far is more than we could have asked for and we cant wait to see the rest of them!!!!!!! I am so happy we chose you to be our photographer

    Just stopping by to post a review, Matt is in general a great easy to get along with person that will make you feel super comfortable even when you are awkwardly posing at events! We had our engagement photos and wedding done by him and the photos are truly amazing. He gets the best shots without you even realizing he's there! Anyone who's looking for wedding engagement, maternity etc photos you need not look further. You will have a fun great time taking them and end with photos you will cherish forever!!

    Matt and his assistant were so cool to work with! They are not the typical stuffy wedding photographers from yesteryear, Matt's passion for photography really showed during our wedding and he made the whole process very fun. He got some amazing photos from our wedding and even gave a preview within a couple days after. We are recommending Matt to everyone we know!
    Thank you Matt and Nicole!

    Matt photographed our wedding over the summer and did an amazing job, I was amazed when we got to see the pictures for the first time. We originally wanted to go with a local photographer who was much more, but after finding Matt we had him come down to us in New Jersey and are so glad we did. Will definitely be recommending him to friends and family.
