Christina and Zane

Matt, you were the absolute best choice for our wedding day. From the very first interaction, your communication was quick, thorough, and client-centered. You and your team were kind, attentive, and always available to answer our questions and ensure we felt supported throughout the entire process. Your work was truly flawless - the photos are beautiful, creative, and professional, capturing every emotion and moment in its most raw and artistic form, but beautified. The colors, lighting, and feeling evoked in every photo are a dream come true. If some wants a wedding album that captures the most candid, real moments of your day with the most creative and artistic lens, your are the photographer to book. You had a unique ability to be present and immersed in our day without ever feeling intrusive. He allowed us to direct the shots we wanted, but also knew exactly what to capture on his own. We didn't feel like our day was dominated by photo taking, but we know every important moment was beautifully documented, which is the perfect combination. You went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was perfect, and we are thrilled with the stunning, documentary-style wedding album that perfectly reflects our special day. We have not stopped looking at each photo in awe, with every guest telling us how perfectly you captured the day. On top of all that, you were KIND, fun, caring, and extremely reliable. You truly go above and beyond in being both a pleasure to be around and a flawless wedding vendor. You thought of everything, and were extremely responsive throughout the whole process. Booking you was the best decision we made for our wedding. For those looking for a wedding photographer, do not look any further - book Matt and you will be making the greatest decision for your big day!

My husband and I are utterly grateful to Will for everything he has done to ensure the capturing of countless precious moments from our special day. From the start, Will was incredibly responsive, informative, patient, flexible, and present. He remained in active communication with us as we navigated the unknowns of the pandemic and was supportive of our difficult decision to postpone our event from 2020 to 2021, without any hesitation or additional requests. When our special day finally arrived in 2021, Will went above and beyond to ensure the capturing of absolutely beautiful and precious moments throughout our special day despite added unforeseen obstacles that arose. His commitment to quality and care has been unwavering, and having just received our wedding photos only confirms that, tenfold. We haven't stopped looking through our photos.. we can't! They are tender, charming, vibrant, authentic, touching, beautiful.. perfect for us. They capture the essence of our day so remarkably, bringing us straight back to each unforgettable moment. We were so impressed from the beginning when Will shared his incredibly reasonable prices with us and explained all that was included...a full day of photography from the early hours to late-night hours of our special day, an online gallery of hundreds of beautifully captured and edited photos with NO watermark, 20 prints of our choice, AND a canvas! When we began planning for our wedding, we looked into a variety of photographers, and Will stood out as the most reasonable by far, without any compromise in quality. We were confident in Will's talents, quality, and professionalism right away, but now that we've worked with him and have received our photo gallery, we can't emphasize enough just how grateful and blessed we feel. We can only hope you make the same decision that we made. We know you will be just as grateful if you do! :)
