My Fiance and I hired Mat for our (second round of) engagement photos, after our first photo shoot with another vendor left us with zero images we actually liked. Needless to say I was a little nervous going into our shoot! Mat did such a great job of putting us at ease. He came prepared with an image book of other engagement shots in our same location as inspiration, and multiple cameras to capture all kinds of photos. He even went above and beyond to capture pictures of our new puppy and some candid moments. He was incredibly accommodating with outfit and backdrop changes throughout the shoot too, which gave us so many looks to choose from in the end. When we got access to the gallery of our edited images just a few days later, we scrolled through and couldn't believe that each one was better than the last. When I showed my office some of the pictures they thought I was trying to pass off stock photos from a wedding website! Now we're left with the opposite problem- we have so many great pictures to choose from, I can't possible pick just one for our save-the-dates! We HIGHLY recommend Mat's work and Mat- if you ever need someone to speak as a reference feel free to send them our way/share images from our shoot as a testimony. We can't say enough good things. read more

Mat was really excellent to work with. After some change of plans, I needed to push my surprise Boston proposal forward two weeks. When I reached out to Mat, he was extremely quick to respond and made the process very easy. Immediately, Mat proved to be extraordinarily helpful in planning out the logistics of the surprise shoot. Over the next week leading up to the shoot, Mat was great about staying in contact with me about the logistics, and making sure that I was prepared. When it came time for the shoot, Mat was great. He was very enthusiastic about the shoot, and it showed in his work. Mat was extremely professional, but also helped to make the entire shoot really fun for us. He came prepared with a number of ideas for poses, but was also great at capturing candid moments throughout the session. Also, Mat was receptive to ideas we had for photos. When he sent us the proofs of the shoot, we were blown away at how great they came out. He produced incredible work, and we could not be more happy with the experience. Overall, I would highly recommend Mat to anyone looking to professional photography. He is professional, fun, and produces amazing photos. read more

We are expecting our first child and were looking for a photographer who could capture the maternity photoshoot. I reached out to Mat and within a few hours had a response with his availability. After a few email exchanges, we had narrowed down our location of shoot and the best time to meet. Mat was very flexible with the time/location and was also very responsive - he asked questions from preferred poses and shots to getting to know my husband and I through pictures. We met at the park last Saturday and had a turn around time of 24 hours for all the photos. The location was beautiful and Mat captured all the shots that we were looking for. He had examples of poses that he wanted to capture. His photography speaks for itself and tells an amazing story of our pregnancy. We look forward to hiring Mat again when the baby is born and I will be recommending him to all of our friends who are getting engaged, married or having children. We ended up purchasing all of the photos because: 1. All of them turned out just perfect 2. No session fees 3. Package is affordable and totally worth it. Thank you Mat!!! :-) read more

I can't say enough good things about Mat. I wanted to propose to my girlfriend in the Boston Public Garden and he made every step of it so easy. Mat kept constant communication to assure that I understood everything that we needed to do, even down to sending me a detailed map of where we could set up and exactly where to stand. He was also really flexible with my schedule. I initially wanted to do it at 6:30pm but the weather wasn't cooperating and he was accommodating enough to let me delay it until the rain stopped. The photos themselves are absolutely amazing and the quality is outstanding. He caught all the special moments including the candid shots as we walked up to the spot where it would happen. Mat took 45 minutes with us after I proposed to take photos around the Garden and finishing up at the picturesque Acorn Street. Mat has also turned around the editing of these photos much faster than I could have hoped and everyone loves them. I couldn't recommend Mat more highly. read more

Amazing photography experience! Mat exceeded our expectations! I contacted Mat to shoot family photos of my parents and sister, my husband and myself - along with our two dogs and cat. He was completely willing to work with us and our fur-babies, and even came to our neighborhood to make things easier. The shoot was fantastic! Mat has a great eye and put us all at ease as he directed the shots. He came completely prepared with a shot list and pose ideas, but he was also ready to capture spontaneous shots (especially with our dogs). After the shoot, Mat had all of our photos edited and ready to proof within 48 hours. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Mat from beginning to end. He is very professional, talented and friendly. I would HIGHLY recommend his photography services. We will definitely be using him again! read more

Came to Boston for a long weekend holiday with my girlfriend and wanted to capture some of the amazing scenery this beautiful city has to offer. I've hired photographers before, and I'm not ashamed to admit I've paid 2-3 times Mat's rate for photos that are sub-par in comparison. This guy is skilled and talented. Every part of dealing with Mat was easy and stress-free. He even allowed me to check out the finalized pictures before submitting any payment. That was actually my #1 pet-peeve when it comes to hiring photographers before. I really wish there was a photographer of this caliber in California. Thank you so much Mat!!! Very Highly recommended. Hit this guy up soon because he's too talented to be charging what he's currently charging. read more

Photo-shoot with Mat was wonderful! We were looking for guidance and direction from him and he came prepared with shots in mind that he wanted to achieve. He worked very hard to get results with a 3 year old and 8 month old- not an easy feat. We got more comfortable as the shoot went on and got some of the best images of the girls when we were on "break" and everyone was just doing their own thing. The most amazing thing was that he returned our images all edited the same day!!! Very affordable (included all digital images in his pricing) compared with other photographers in the area and I am confident that I am just as happy if not more satisfied then going with a photographer double the price. Nice job Mat! read more

What can I say about Mat other than AMAZING!!! I originally scheduled him on the wrong date and then asked that he change the original Saturday appt. for Friday night only 2 days before the planned proposal. Mat was quick to put me at ease and accommodate by changing his schedule on the weekend. I am not from Boston and Mat was able to recommend the proper place to make the proposal. As for the pictures, they are absolutely beautiful. Mat went WAY ABOVE AND BEYOND my expectations and both my fiancee and I love, love, love the pictures. Thank you Mat for making an amazing day even more special. I recommend him to ANYONE looking for amazing work. Thanks Again Mat!!!!! Jared Graves read more

Mat photographed my surprise proposal in Boston yesterday. I can't even begin to describe how grateful myself and my new fiancé are for the excellent work he did capturing our special moment. He did such a great job walking me through the process and even suggested a spot to do it which turned out to be an incredible location. He edited the pictures and had them back to me within the day and wouldn't charge me a dime until I looked at the photos and liked them. I would recommend Mat to anyone looking for a photographer for any occasion. His professionalism and integrity is the best I've seen. Great job Mat! read more

I had the opportunity to schedule a professional photo shoot for LinkedIn with Mathew Tam. He was able to accommodate my request on a very short notice. For this professional head shot photo he choose the right background, provided the guidance to be natural and at ease to capture picture with confident posture and smile. He is such an amazing talent and very thorough and extremely meticulous in his task. I have already recommended his service to my other colleagues and friends, as it is extremely comfortable to work with him and his professionalism and service is above par. read more

We were so lucky to find Mat for a very last minute engagement shoot. What I loved most about working with Mat was that he was efficient and kept us moving as we had multiple locations we wanted to cover -- all without compromising the quality of the photos. He came prepared with printout of ideas, which was very helpful. We were also very impressed with the turnaround time and the quality of the images. After reviewing the images, we ended up purchasing the whole package because Mat's pricing is amazing! We look forward to working with Mat again in the future. read more

The photographs taken by Mat were exactly what we were hoping for. We wanted to capture the happiness of our pregnancy for our soon to be born baby. Mat himself was also great to work with, he was very professional, kind, friendly, and flexible with his schedule. The Prices are reasonable for the final product he puts forth. Notably, the turn around for our photos was very fast - same day! We definitely recommend him for your family photograph needs. We will definitely work work him again now that our little one is here. Thank you Mat! read more

Mat is a wonderful photographer to work with! We recently hired him for a maternity photo session. Neither my husband or I are super comfortable getting our pictures taken professionally, but Mat immediately put us at ease. He was very kind, relaxed, and obviously great at what he does. The pictures turned out stunning and he got us the digital proofs very quickly. His prices are incredibly reasonable given what he provides. I'd highly recommend hiring Mat and I can't wait to work with him again soon for a newborn photo session. read more

I had a shoot with Mat this last weekend and could not be more pleased with the results! He was so flexible with time and location of the shoot and stayed until he got all the shots, even staying longer than planned in order to get some great sunset shots! The fact that there is no minimum insures that you will love the results, and I did - I chose to buy them all for a special discount since I couldn't even choose just 10. Mat is great and you can tell he really loves what he does. I couldn't recommend him strongly enough! read more

We contacted Mat for an extended family photo shoot for my mother's 80th birthday. He did so much preparation, we were able to get all groupings we wanted quickly and efficiently. It was a rainy and raw day but we decided to stick with our outside location. Mat kept us laughing and you would never know from the gorgeous photos how cold we were! His photos are very natural -- not stagey and stiff -- and everyone in my family was pleased with them (which is a miracle). We will definitely hire Mat again. read more

I found Mat by googling around for proposal photographers in the Boston area. I really enjoyed his work so I got in contact with him and he immediately started helping me plan! He's not only a great photographer, but he helps in every aspect. Me and him texted to make sure we both knew what the plan was and he was setup before my fiancé and I were even there. The pictures were amazing and Mat really captured amazing shots, I would have him take pictures again in a heart beat! read more

Mat was fantastic! Our family needed a good photographer who could work with my disabled father in a wheelchair and a young infant (2 months old). He did a lot of pre-thinking about how to make it work just right, and he even brought stools to our outdoor photo shoot so that several of us could be at the same height as my dad in a wheelchair. Mat was attentive, thoughtful, and the photos came out great! We will use Mat again and recommend him to anyone. read more

Mat is a true professional and great to work with. He provides the honest feedback, patience and direction that his clients need on-site while being very flexible to work with the client's request. Prior to the shoot, I presented Mat with my ideal final product and he was able to capture the setting as exactly as I had wanted. Someone who has true passion and a very keen eye for what he does will definitely produce an outstanding portfolio of work. read more

Mat was great. He is extremely responsive, pleasant, and easy to work with. It started to rain as we arrived at our outdoor location, and he was not flustered in the least. In fact, he was so easy going and fun that he put everyone at ease and made it very enjoyable. Perhaps most importantly, however, the photos look beautiful. We intended to use one for a holiday card, but now there are many that I love! Highly recommended. read more
