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! -

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.

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. -
User1365876 Sent on 10/06/2013Based on all of the previous reviews here on The knot it should not be a surprise that Matt really is one of The BEST NYC photographer!
We didn't have a location in mind to shoot on our wedding day . We really relied on Matt and his ideas to come up with unique, beautiful locations and he came up with some amazing locations for us and our large bridal party to shoot at.He made the entire process enjoyable and comfortable both for us and our entire party. Both him and his assistant Ralph were amazing to work with and helped us out. We are so thankful that we chose to work Matthew Sowa Photography and we would recommend them to all our friends in need of a photographer. Best choice ever! -
User1269377 Sent on 08/02/2013Matt & his team did such a great job on my wedding and the engagement session. They were always very professional and responsive.. Ralf the second photographer did an amazing job, shooting the guys durring the preperation. I have gotten over 1000 pictures to choose from for my album and am definitely having a hard time with it, because they are all so great. I would highly recommend Matthew Sowa Photography... -

User1058942 Sent on 01/03/2013I got married on November 17th 2012. When my husband and I were in the process of looking for a photographer, we came across Mathew Sowa. From the moment we looked through his photos, we knew we had to have him be apart of our wedding day.
A few words that could describe Mathew are amazing, an artist and a true gentlemen. He did everything on our wedding day to make us feel comfortable while at the same time capturing our special moments with his camera. Mathew made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera when otherwise I am quite shy. Time went so fast on our wedding day, but I am so comforted to know I will always have these beautiful moments captured in these amazing pictures. I can honestly say it was a true privilege to work with someone so graceful and talented. I look forward to working with Mathew again and would recommend him to any bride that is getting married. -
User1047540 Sent on 12/17/2012My husband and I just got married about a month ago. We are so very grateful to find Matthew Sowa.He and his team are very professional and super duper nice to work ! He responded to our correspondences very promptly. Some photographers took days to get back to me. And accountability is so important of being a pro photographer. In addition, Matt is extremely good at journalistic photography. My husband is very camera shy. So I need Matt to capture my hubby's emotions naturally instead of having him posing in front of the camera. And he did it beautifully!!! The wedding pix turned out to be gorgeous! I am having a very difficult time to pick my favorites to go into the album! I also highly recommend to have Matthew Sowa to design the album. The sample he showed me is top notch!!! Matt thank you so much for being part of our wedding! You are always highly recommmended !Best Iwon & Rob

User920355 Sent on 09/03/2012It was an absolute pleasure to work with Matthew on our wedding day. My wedding party said it was the first time they actually had fun while taking pictures. He didn't make us stand in ridiculous poses, he shot mostly candids - and when he did direct us to do something, it was enjoyable. He is a true artist and his passion for photography is evident through his amazing pictures. We cannot wait to get our album!

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.
