How he works: Matthew begins with an easy, no-pressure conversation to learn your plans and preferences.

On the wedding day he moves with discretion, blending into the day to document candid interactions while stepping forward thoughtfully for portraits and group shots. The result is a curated collection of professional wedding photos that tell the narrative of your celebration, from quiet moments to joyful gatherings. While wedding photography is his primary focus, Matthew is also experienced in portrait work and can adapt his skills for engagement sessions and bridal portraits.
