Proposal photoshoot

I reached out to Matt and Ruth for a secret surprise proposal photo shoot with my then girlfriend and now fiancé. He is really good at being an incognito professional photographer and made us feel super comfortable. We had a photo shoot after the proposal and the pictures, angles, and scenes were amazing. They were so warm hearted and honestly, the communication with them prior to the proposal and during the photoshoot was everything. They exceeded our expectations and we highly, highly recommend them.

Highly recommend!

We cannot recommend Matt and Ruth enough. They were an absolute pleasure to work with, and their photos are amazing. Matt took the time to speak with us before our big day to walk us through the package details. We also had them shoot our engagement session which came out perfectly! Both our wedding day and engagement photos will be treasured forever! We cannot thank Matt and Ruth enough!

Clendaniel’s 9.24.23

Matt and his wife were absolutely amazing on our wedding day. We knew them from my sisters’ wedding and we just knew they were going to be our number 1 pick for photographers. They go above and beyond and even brought props to make our wedding photos personable, i.e. a soccer ball since my husband and I both love soccer. Matt does not make you feel awkward at all if you aren’t used to having your picture professionally done and makes the whole experience easy and fun. You can’t go wrong with Matt and his wife. Having a team is better than just one photographer, you get the best candid photos everywhere!

Great Experience

Matt and Ruth were very professional and accommodating to our requests for our engagement session and wedding day. We aren't typically comfortable in front of a camera so they did a great job guiding us and the photos came out great!

Very pleased

Matt and Ruth were absolutely fantastic! They made everything so easy and comfortable. We really didn't have a specific vision for photos but they figured it out. Our engagement session and wedding photos were out of this world. One of our biggest requests was to have pictures of our fur baby at our big day, and they got some awesome shots of him that everyone still raves about. We have so many memories captured from our perfect day to look back on and enjoy! Thank you again!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
