    Wedding Photographer

    Matt was a great photographer for my wedding. He really captured the love that day. He was very quick to respond, professional and very talented. I would recommend him if you are looking for great photography at a reasonable price. :)

    Matt makes wedding photography easy and painless

    Matthew and the photographer he brought with him (I forget her name, but she was amazing too) were so incredibly kind, fun, and professional. Working with Matt was a total breeze and one of the few painless processes we went through with our wedding. I can't recommend Matt enough.

    Great Photographer!

    Our photos were great and didn’t have to wait 2 months to get them. Matt was always super responsive and flexible. Great personality to work with and have around in your big day.

    Talented, professional and WOW the photos

    Matt was an amazing photographer for our wedding day. I was so impressed with his professionalism and flexibility as we dealt with COVID-19 requirements and changes.

    Matt was low-key all the way-- just what a bride needs as she's suffering from decision-fatigue from planning every other detail. He arrived early on the wedding day and was such a professional the whole time. I hardly knew he was there as he snapped the most precious pictures of us and our families before the ceremony. He travelled between where I got ready and where my husband got ready without a hitch. And again at the venue, I hardly knew he was there.

    BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE-- Even though all of that was fantastic, THE BEST PART were the pictures. He got the perfect lighting and the perfect poses. Cute ones, serious ones and ones that we will treasure forever. Matt really captured how happy and grateful we were just to get married during the pandemic. I highly recommend him. He is a talented photographer and a joy to work with.

    Amazing wedding photographer

    Matt was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. He was extremely communicative with us after we had to postpone our wedding multiple times due to covid. He showed up exactly on time, got all of the photos that we had specifically requested, and so many more beautiful moments. The area around our venue wasn’t exactly the best for photos but he worked with us on the space we had and made everything look beautiful. We’re not the type to have our photos taken often and I was nervous about it being awkward, but he made us feel at ease and told us exactly what to do!

    On top of all of that, he got our edited photos back to us SO quickly! Definitely can’t recommend him enough :)

    I have to say that Anna was probably the most beautiful bride that I've encountered since covid! Not only is she beautiful but she is kind and is a pleasure to work with.

    Beautiful Photos

    Matt was absolutely amazing, I am so glad we found him to photograph our wedding. He was professional and also easy to talk to. There was a mask mandate in effect during our wedding and he had no problem following guidelines. The photos are unbelievable. He managed to capture every moment and we have a great mix of fun and serious photos. I highly recommend him!

    Great photographer!

    Matt was amazing to work with! He was professional, yet laid back and easy/fun to work with not only on my wedding day, but also during my wedding portrait session. He always seemed to be in the background covering as much as he could. I would definitely recommend using him!

    Amazing and personable

    Matt was an amazing photographer for our micro wedding. He was so professional, punctual, and personable. He made us all feel comfortable on our wedding day and we were able to do things how we wanted. I love how our pictures turned out. To me, this is one of the most important vendors for a wedding, since it captures the memories of your day & Matt didn't disappoint

    Perfection

    Matt was the perfect photographer for our wedding! He went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and was extremely easy to communicate with. His photos turned out amazing and he captured a good mix of candid shots that we couldn’t be happier with. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone in the area!

    Such a great experience with Matt! So laid back but seriously knows what he is doing! He captured all the important moments but didn't even feel like he was there. Love reliving my day through the wonderful photos!

    Would hire for future events!

    Matthew completed my bridal portrait shoot and took photographs at my ceremony. He is very professional and an attentive photographer. Matthew was very patient and understanding when we postponed our initial wedding date due to COVID-19 restrictions. He was very flexible with his schedule and was able to accommodate the wedding date change. I had a great time working with him and will highly recommend if you are in need a photographer. I will also keep Matthew in mind for my own future events!!!

    Highly recommend Matthew!!

    Matthew was great from the beginning! We met with him for our engagement pictures which looked great! He did an amazing job for our wedding we had in October! Matthew and Xylvia captured our wedding day perfectly! We have 500 pictures and they are all our favorites. He also put together an album that came quickly after getting our pictures. He is great with the camera and very flexible to work with! I would recommend him to anyone needing a great photographer!

    Fantastic Photographer

    We cannot say enough great things about Matt. He is wonderful to work with - professional, has great ideas, and he makes you feel at ease. We decided to go ahead and get married during the pandemic, and Matt came through for us, never hesitating. We love our pictures and glad we chose him as our photographer. You can’t go wrong with him!

    We LOVED working with Matthew Danser!

    Matthew Danser was a wonderful choice for our photographer. Matthew worked with us to find our perfect package, took our recommendations of photos we wanted, and was patient with us during the wedding day! We loved our photographs! They were perfect!

    Wonderful Experience!

    My husband and I used Matt for both our engagement shoot and our wedding. \We loved our engagement photos and used them on our invitations and save the dates. We also got them printed to display at our wedding. When our wedding day finally came, Matt showed up early - which spoke volumes. We got our photos back incredibly fast and let me tell you....THEY WERE GORGEOUS. We have so many favorites. Overall, Matt was incredibly professional and did a phenomenal job at capturing our special day. Seeing that photos were on of our top 2 priorities, we highly recommend!

    Above and Beyond

    How can I even begin!? Besides marrying my husband, hiring Matthew to be our photographer had to be one of the best decisions I made. He went above and beyond and captured a side of us, our family and guests that we would never have been able to see without him. We will treasure the photos he took forever. Do not hesitate.... Matt is who you want!!! KILLED IT.

    Best of the best

    Matt did an amazing job capturing the joy and emotion of our day! He and his cophotographer were at the venue early to capture the preparation moments of the day. His photographs allow us to relive the emotions of the day and are all beautiful. The turn around time was excellent

    Perfectly captured candids!

    We met Matthew six months before our wedding based on his impressive portfolio. We wanted "in the moment " pictures , which he excels at . He walked us through his services and was very professional from the beginning. He spent a lot of time capturing every possible important moment the day of our wedding and we could not be more happy with the results . He did a great job of being present while allowing us to do our thing . Highly recommended!

    Matt Danser and his assistant, Carlos, where so much fun to work with!! They fit seamlessly into our wedding day... and honestly felt like part of the wedding party by the end of the night (in a good way)! They were never in the way of a guest's line of sight during the ceremony, however, were always present in the correct place at the correct time to capture the moment. They were there for ~8 hours throughout the entirety of our wedding day on 4/8/2017: makeup application through the sparkler getaway at midnight. I would choose NO OTHER photographer.

    Let me preface by saying that I'm really picky when it comes to photography - I'm actually a 5 star photographer on here myself :-) Saying that, Matt is a photographer's photographer. He has great packages, is flexible and very professional. He did everything I wanted to do if I could clone myself and more. He was non-intrusive, but managed to get every important moment and the photos came out fantastic. The lighting and composition are spot on his technical skill are good enough you won't see overly photoshopped images in his portfolio. He is consistent and every image is solid. I am glad that our special day has been documented by someone so talented. Beyond being skillful Matt is just a nice guy. He's the type of person you'd be happy to kick back and have a drink with. You can tell he really enjoys what he does and it shows in his work ethic and attitude. To sum it up - check out his work and talk to him. You won't be disappointed!

    I simply cannot imagine having picked a more amazing photographer to work with for our wedding than Matthew! From our first meeting at Whole Foods, I was beyond excited. Matthew's work speaks for itself, and I had zero doubts that he would create anything less than the best memories. Matthew shot both our engagement and wedding photos, and it was great to get to know him in a more relaxed fun setting first. When I saw our engagement photos, I was in love and knew we'd made the best decision. Throughout the entire process, Matthew was very professional, knowledgeable, and obviously passionate about his work. When it came to our wedding day, he put everyone at ease while still capturing the most beautiful shots, usually when we didn't even realize he was there! We loved the second photographer, Carlos, as well. We are simply blown away by our gorgeous wedding photos and I can't recommend Matthew and services more highly!

    Matt took the photos for our small "outdoor" wedding last March. We got POURING rain all day and moved the event inside where the space was quite tight and the light wasn't so great. But somehow, in that cramped, dim space, Matt captured the day in amazing bright colors. And when we did family pictures on the covered front porch... Matt stood back in the rain to shoot them: he was drenched but totally cheerful and patient and still got the babies to smile. We couldn't have asked for a nicer, more accommodating, or more talented wedding photographer. The pictures are more beautiful than I ever imagined. Thank you again and again Matt!!
