If there's one thing you should take away from this review - it's that Matt is an incredibly…read moretalented photographer and you'll have no regrets hiring him for your wedding. Read on to learn why! We found Matt after admiring his work on Instagram. We loved his eye for candid moments. And while Matt doesn't like the word "moody", we loved his use of natural light and "romantic" *cough* *moody* photography style. ;) With a background in video/photo production, searching for a photographer was a serious, time-consuming task for me. I had a very specific style of photography in mind, as well as a budget to adhere to. I waited a very long time before ultimately reaching out to Matt (only because he was actually a little outside of our budget) ...but I kept finding myself gravitating towards his work. And after our first call, in my gut I knew - he was who we were looking for. **PLANNING** You don't have to be a bride to know how important communication is when planning a wedding. Matt was super responsive via email (even if it was to tell us he would respond at a later point) and always available to schedule a call when he wasn't already shooting a wedding. After a call to see if we were a good fit, he followed up promptly with a contract, booking form and my own portal to his site where everything would be stored. LOVE IT! Bookmark that shizz ladies... Closer to the wedding, we jumped on a call to walk through his typical shot list and customized it to our day. Matt helped us consider the best ways to utilize him as a photographer, but also gave us a few ideas on how to keep our guests happy while we were off taking sunset photos. CAKE, CAKE, CAKE, CAKE... ;D **PRICING** Matt's prices are obviously subject to change as his fame and talent grow... ;D But brides, I also know how extremely frustrating it is to be looking at photographers (or any vendor for that matter) and not know what anyone charges!! (Know your audience wedding vendors - list your prices!!) At the time we hired Matt, we hired him for a "Partial Day" which included 8hrs of coverage for $3500. He also had "Full Day" (12hrs - $4000) + "Elopement" (2hrs - $1200) packages. And offered a second shooter for $300/$250 for the day. MATT IS WORTH EVERY PENNY! His partial/full day packages also include an "Engagement Session" which I believe is very important in getting to know your photographer. Unfortunately, my husband + I live in San Diego, and so nowhere near Matt or where we were getting married. He worked with us to reflect this in his package, and ultimately fit within our budget. *Whatapro! We also didn't hire a second shooter...and honestly not so sure we needed one. Matt covered a lot of ground. **DAY OF...** Matt came out early to our venue and scouted around for sunset and family shots to put our minds at ease. And as we started to arrive he offered to help with anything we might need. #sweetheart. He knew when to be assertive and give us some much-needed direction and how to fade into the shadows and let a moment play out for that perfect candid. I think the biggest surprise of our wedding day was hearing from all our guests how much they LOVED our photographer. I wasn't surprised by the fact Matt is a sweet guy, we already knew that. We loved him too. But think about that...how many weddings have you been to where you told the couple you loved their photographer? But after reviewing all our beautiful photos, we understand why. He did an amazing job of capturing all the love, joy and beauty that was our wedding day. And we are forever thankful! I feel like I can't possibly capture everything in a review so feel free to message me if any questions!

My husband and I were beyond excited to see our pictures, and the wait completely paid off! Our photos are absolutely beautiful! I absolutely recommend working with Matt and I cannot wait for him to take more of our photos. Especially maternity! And all our anniversary ones! :)
