    Amazing quality of work

    Matt and his team were so great to work with, from our engagement shoot through our wedding day! Matt was super flexible with our ideas and can make any shot look beautiful! Matt and his team were professional and kept the day and shots moving so we were able to get everything we wanted. He made us feel super comfortable in taking our pictures and the wedding party loved working with them.

    most talented photographer & videographer!!

    I found Matt through one of my best friends over two years ago! It was an easy decision to choose Matt for what would've been Sept 2020 wedding. Matt was so flexible and accommodating during COVID postponements. Finally July 2021 we were able to get married the way we wanted to and it was unbelievable and our photos and videos are AMAZING. I cannot stop sharing and watching our video and photos. Truly the best money spent for our wedding was having Matt & his team capture our day.
    Matt also captured my best friends wedding two weeks prior to my wedding day and he captured her day beautifully as well!! He is so talented!!

    Awesome experience and photos

    Matt was absolutely amazing to work with. He is extremely accommodating, professional and creative. He taught us how to pose and had a lot of great ideas to make the photos interesting. He cared about the vision we had for photos and did the best he could to realize it. The outcome was fantastic, everybody loved the photos and complimented on the unique aesthetic of his work. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a photographer.

    So easy & fun

    Matt is a gifted photographer that has such an easy way about him that comes through in his pics. He gets everyone to relax and enjoy themselves and then he captures wonderful moments and memories. Though his style is relaxed, he's very professional and clearly knows what he doing. He shot our twins graduation pics and they are amazing! He's brilliant! I would strongly recommend Matt Warren for any of your photographic needs.

    Thank you so much, Greg!! I had a wonderful time capturing their photos and appreciate the kind words! :)

    Best Photographer!

    Matt was a pleasure and a blast to work with! Both our engagement session and wedding photos turned out more perfect than we could have asked. His creativity and flexibility in the rain made things completely stress free. We highly recommend choosing him as your photographer!

    Matt Warren Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much, Tressa! It was a pleasure being able to capture yours and Grant's wedding day! You guys had the most amazing attitudes when it came to the rain! I wish the best to the both of you! :)

    So thankful!!

    Matt was amazing start to finish. I could not be happier with how our wedding pictures and video turned out. They are gorgeous and the video is something I’m always going to cherish. Matt is one of the best decisions we made for our wedding hands down. He was a blast to work with and it was awesome to see how passionate he is about his work.

    We are so thankful!

    Wedding Photos and Video

    Matt and his team were FANTASTIC! He has a very creative eye and made us feel so comfortable. We knew we wanted someone who captured natural beauty and Matt is the guy! He was well organized, sent us an itinerary, and even meet us for Brunch to go over any other details we may want. He even asked us to send over photos that we like and would want to recreate. He was early to our wedding and was able to scope out the area to find amazing places to take photos. He and his team were always there capturing special moments that we didn't expect! He captured the pure happiness and joy or our day! The video he did was out of this world. We cannot stop watching in and every time we catch something new that he had a creative eye for. I would recommend Matt and his team to anyone for their big day because he made ours so special!

    Matt Warren Photography's reply:

    Oh my gosh. Your words... You are so kind!!😭 Thank you SO much. My team and I had an absolute blast capturing your day!! You and Alex are so down to earth and I’m beyond honored to have captured your day for you! Wish you both the best! 😊

    Best. Photos. Ever.

    I cannot tell you how amazing Matt's photos are. He is so creative and artistic! So many people have commented on how incredibly stunning our photos are. Matt is more than just a 'wedding photographer' he is an artist. Not only are his pix amazing but working with Matt was so much fun. We tried to get him to stay at the end of the night just to hang out. Great photos, great guy. Highly recommend him!

    Matt Warren Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much, Natalie! You and Joe threw an incredible party for everyone!😅 Your love for one another was so obvious and genuine! I loved being able to capture that!

    Went above and beyond

    Matt was a great photographer for our wedding! He really works hard and loves what he’s doing. I believe the key to a great photographer is the love that the person has for what he or she is doing. Matt has that love, ambition, and creativity that makes him the great photographer for whatever needs you are looking for. I would recommend his services in a heartbeat!

    Matt Warren Photography's reply:

    Thank you guys so much!! So cool to have captured a friends wedding. I remember years ago when I was just getting into and you told me I’d be the one capturing your day for you. Crazy that it came so quickly! Thanks again, guys!

    Amazing wedding video

    My husband and I are so thankful that we hired Matt to create a wedding video for us. The video captured a lot of the special moments throughout the day that pictures would not do justice! Matt was pleasant to work with and comfortable to be around during the wedding craziness. Matt loves what he does, and he’ll make sure you love your product too!

    Matt Warren Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words, Jenny!! You and Travis were so much fun to work with! So happy I was able to capture your big day for you :)

    Wedding Photographer

    Matt did an amazing job capturing both our engagement and wedding photos. Could not be happier!! 5 stars for sure!!!! He was very professional and took the time to ensure that he captured everything we requested. So impressed with all the shots that he set up! Seriously the best photographer I have ever worked with!

    Best Photographer

    Matt was amazing to work with start to finish. Not only is he flexible, responsive, professional, and extremely talented, but he is also genuine and kind. His passion for his work is exciting and it was a blast working with his assistant and him on our wedding day. We received a TON of compliments on our wedding photos. Now 3 months out, we still have people coming up to us telling us how amazing our wedding pictures are. Matt made us feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera, and he so beautifully captured our day. I would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer to capture their day!!

    Matt Warren Photography's reply:

    Emily, thank you so so much for your kind words! That honestly meant so much to me. You and Matt were incredible! So thankful you were both willing to brave the snow for a few amazing shots as well! :)

    Creative, affordable, stunning photography!

    My husband and I were blown away by Matt’s creativity, organization, and flexibility on our wedding day! I messaged Matt the day before worried about the rain, but Matt was not at all bothered by it! His confidence reassured me and our photos turned out amazing! He even pulled my now husband and I aside for a special romantic photo shoot in the foggy evening. I will certainly be going to Matt again for our photography needs and would recommend him for anyone who wants to make their wedding day special.

    Matt Warren Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much Brianna! I am so happy that you were pleased with my work. It was so much fun working with you and Cristian! Congrats again on your marriage :) I hope to work with the two of you again in the future!

    Great addition to our wedding day!

    Matt is a great guy! I met him playing soccer together in college, so we asked him to shoot a same day video for our wedding! He was super easy to work with and worked extremely well with our photographer. If you want some who will deliver a great product and be out of the way, he is your guy!

    Matt Warren Photography's reply:

    Thanks, Ethan! So glad you and Britney were pleased with the video! I had an absolute blast filming that with you and your wedding party. It was such a fun day!

    Matt was great

    Matt was great with doing what we wanted for our wedding day. We have a big family and even with a bit of a time crunch we made it work. He’s creative with his ideas and got some shots we probably wouldn’t have gotten otherwise.

    Matt Warren Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much, Mikaela! You and Dillon were so amazing! I had such a blast :) And thank you for allowing me to experiment a little and be creative!!

    Fantastic Photographer, incredible service & amazing photos/video

    I struggle finding only a few things to say about Matt – he’s ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE to work with and the finished product was IMMACULATE! Matt is a consummate professional who made us feel extremely comfortable on our big day - his creativity, confidence, kindness and attention to detail made for an incredible experience and we will cherish our photos and wedding video forever. Matt captured both our engagement photos and was also our wedding day photographer/videographer and we have been complimented by every person that has come across our photos/video. The same-day wedding video was a game-changer; the entire ballroom was blown away by his ability to create such a captivating wedding video and present it only an hour after the ceremony. From our wedding alone, we’ve had more than five couples reach out for his information as they were taken back by the quality of his work. Not only do I highly recommend working with Matt, he is assuredly our surefire contact for all photography needs in the future. I simply cannot illicit enough good things to say – we cannot wait to see you capture our friends’ upcoming weddings. Thank you for truly a special experience!

    Matt Warren Photography's reply:

    Wow... I am absolutely blown away by these words. You and Ines have been my biggest fans since you had found out about my services. Thank you SO much for these incredibly generous words. Your referrals and excitement towards my business is immensely appreciated. I am so pleased that you and Ines were this happy with my services. I can't wait to shoot for at least three of your friends/family next wedding season! It will be so cool to see you all there again :) I wish the best to the both of you.

    Beautiful Photos!

    Matt is one of the most creative and professional photographers we’ve ever worked with. My wife and I were lucky enough to have him as our wedding photographer, and we couldn’t have been more blessed! As the Groom, I didn’t realize how important it was in finding the perfect photographer, but I’m so happy that my wife did! We get compliments all the time that our photos look like they belong in a magazine, and it’s all Matt’s visions. He had so many creative and beautiful visions throughout our day, the pictures prove that Matt loves what he does. Highly recommend!!!

    Matt Warren Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much, Lawrence! I am so glad you ended up loving the final results of my work! It was an absolute pleasure to work with you and Jackie on your special day. I had a blast! And thank you for also trusting me enough and allowing me the freedom to cast my visions. I truly had a ton of fun at the wedding :)

    Stunning Wedding Photos!!!

    Matt was the photographer at our wedding last month. I can’t say enough positive things about him!! Completely professional, our pictures looked straight out of a magazine!! His visions/ideas were incredible!! He would lay on rocks, in the grass just to get the perfect shot! Such a genuine guy, it was such a pleasure working with him! Absolutely incredible, we get the best compliments on our pictures! We can’t thank Matt enough!! Highly recommend!!

    Beautiful captured moments

    Matt took very BEAUTIFUL pictures of me and my husbands wedding. Matt was very prepared and time oriented that it made our day so much easier, it was truly seamless. The pictures that were taken were so creative. Parts of our venue weren’t the nicest but Matt had wonderful skill to even make those pictures look beautiful. I highly highly recommend Matt to everyone who wants to make any day for pictures a special day.

    Matt Warren Photography's reply:

    Thank you, Mackenzie! I had so much fun at this wedding and loved how creative you and Hayden allowed me to be. I truly appreciate your trust in me to capture this day for the two of you. Thanks for allowing me to have the best job in the world!

    Professional and Friendly

    Matt's photography qnd service was greatly appreciated for my wife and I. He provided wonderful images in a timely matter. What I loved the most though, was how humble and kind he was. He was just as willing to help us set up chairs or move a table quickly, as he was to preserve our special day. 100% would hire again.

    Matt Warren Photography's reply:

    Parker, thank you so so much for these words. They truly mean so much to me. I loved being apart of your wedding. You and Laura were both so kind and laid back. I loved how you both did not stress about the storm that had happened on your big day and cheerfully embraced the poor weather. It made the day that much better to see your happiness and joy even in the midst of poor conditions :)

    An amazing photographer!!

    Matt is an incredibly professional, flexible, and easy to work with person. I can not recommend him enough. Not only will you get amazing and unique photos, you will get to work with someone who truly cares for his clients and the quality of his work. Matt was overall extremely flexible. When we were planning our engagement photos we had to change the time three times and each time, Matt was still super excited and never made us feel like a burden. Furthermore for our wedding, it was supposed to rain all day and even though Matt had planned the whole day out, we changed the times around according to the weather. I have beautiful photos that perfectly capture my wedding day that I get to look at for the years to come thanks to Matt Warren Photography. It was a fantastic and positive experience working with Matt.
