A True Artist
My fiance and I had originally planned to get married in Ireland but after the Covid pandemic, we switched gears quickly and decided to plan a Manhattan wedding with only a few months notice. We found Matthew Sowa online after doing some research and were blown away by the quality of his work that we saw on his website and social media outlets. He was kind enough to meet with us ahead of time via FaceTime to discuss the details of our wedding day. On the day of our wedding he arrived 15 minutes early, with his assistant, and got right to work. He was completely hands-on, rearranging furniture and such in order to capture the best pictures he could in the space provided. He captured not only the first look with my father in an authentic way, but the emotion on both of our faces. He then sent me those photos on Father's Day, even though the rest of the photos were not edited yet, so that I could share them with my Dad! I knew after about 30 minutes with Matthew that we made the best decision hiring him. The pictures that he captured from our big day are pieces of art. He does incredible work with lighting and is able to capture moments in a way I have never seen before. Everyone at our wedding was also raving about him and wanted his contact information! He also made sure to get one of my most wanted shots perfectly (church exit with flower petals) and was clear with directions to the guests in order to execute it properly. His directions and prompts for photos were clear and direct. My husband and I are already brainstorming when we can hire him again for a future event! -

Giselle Sent on 09/05/2014If you are looking for high quality wedding photos that can be featured in top magazines then Matthew Sowa and his team are amazing!! They will not stop taking pictures...I don't even remember them taking a break at our wedding. They captured every person I invited to the wedding and every moment I hoped to see in print. I was so impressed with his work that I wish I was getting married again to get even more pictures. All the photographs really capture the moment in a fun, drama-filled and/or romantic way. Matt see's what no one else see's...until you get the images after your wedding is over...then you really appreciate the talent he has. He is not an ordinary photographer...he is an artist that always has to get that perfect shot...it really shows in the final outcome. -

Adriana Sent on 12/27/2011I am speechless when it comes to Matthew Sowa. A. I can't believe I found him. B. Our pictures were exactly what we wanted and more. EVERYONE was floored by our pics. I've had numerous people come up to me and say they were the best wedding photos they had ever seen. Besides being ridiculously talented, Matthew is reliable and efficient. He listened to what we wanted. He responds immediately. My father -in- law is a professional photographer and he was extremely impressed with the amount of detail Matthew focused on in post production. We are so happy that we not only have candid weddings photos to remind us of that amazing day, but we have great art to hang on our walls. If you want out of the box wedding photos, look no further. I already have family members talking about using him. -
Melissa Sent on 09/10/2018I cannot express just how pleased my husband and I are with Matt's photos. We just received our full wedding photo set a few days ago and are is awe of the one of a kind talent that is Matt Sowa. He was able to capture every magical moment and emotion of our special day and in such a raw, beautiful, edgy and artistic way. He was also an absolute pleasure to work with, extremely professional, and personable. I highly recommend him and his team and plan to work with him again on any upcoming special events.

Christina Sent on 06/30/2011We are so LUCKY to have found Matthew. Photos were definitely my biggest concern. I'm not someone who loves to pose for photos and I also find the "traditional" wedding photos to be cheesy so we really spent alot of time meeting with different photographers that were more editorial style. We were definitely looking for someone more creative. Matthew came hihgly reccommended and actually was able to EXCEED my expectations which I thought would be impossible! I can honestly say that I think we have the best wedding photos I've ever seen. I hope every bride can say that about their photos too. Matthew was so easy to work with. He met with us multiple times in advance and after and was very patient and accommodating. Day of he was very professional, discreet and was really able to capture our day with photos, catching every moment and telling a beautiful story. I can really say that I think Matthew works really hard for you to make sure he is getting the best shots and also to capture everything. I would also HIGHLY reccommend doing the day after shoot!! This was really the best part AND so much fun. It takes the pressure off day of. You don't have to worry about traveling to different locations and worrying that you didn't get enough portraits. We were able to get a lot day of but nothing can compare to the day after shoot. Plus you get to wear your dress again!! Matthew's albums are also gorgeous, we had never seen albums like them. Again, top notch. His second shooter was great as well. I'm so grateful we found Matthew. I don't think anyone else would compare. If you're lucky enough to have found him, hire him! You will be grateful too.
