Minneapolis & St. Paul Wedding Photography
Forget Perfect.
Remember Everything.
Your wedding day isn't about perfect poses, flawless timelines, or making everything look like a Pinterest board.
It's about the happy tears, the uncontrollable laughter, the questionable dance moves, and all those wonderfully unexpected moments that make your day YOURS.
I'm Matthew, a wedding photographer who believes the best photos happen when you're too busy having the time of your life to notice the camera.
You live it. I'll capture it.

Your Wedding. Your Way. No Pressure.
Here's the thing about weddings: something probably won't go exactly as planned.
And you know what? That's okay!
Some of the best memories come from the moments nobody saw coming. The surprise speeches. The spontaneous dance-offs. The flower girl who decides she's done walking halfway down the aisle.
Those are the moments I live for.
I spent five years working for Disney and Universal Studios, where I learned that creating an unforgettable experience takes more than a little magic. It takes preparation, attention to detail, quick thinking, and knowing how to make people feel comfortable.
I bring that same energy to every wedding!
I'll help keep things running smoothly, make you laugh when you're nervous, and guide you through photos without making you feel like you're auditioning for a magazine cover.
And when the real moments happen? I'll be right there capturing them.
Because your wedding day should feel like a celebration, not a photoshoot.
Less Posing. More Living.
Let's get one thing straight: you don't need to know what to do with your hands.
Seriously. That's my job.
Whether you're completely comfortable in front of a camera or the thought of being photographed makes you want to hide behind the nearest centerpiece, I've got you.
We'll get the beautiful portraits. We'll get the family photos. We'll absolutely get that epic sunset shot.
But we'll also make time for you to actually enjoy your wedding.
To hug your favorite people. To laugh until your face hurts. To dance like nobody's watching (even though, let's be real, everyone is).
And years from now, when you look through your photos, I don't just want you to remember what everything looked like.
I want you to remember how it all felt.
Don't Just Take My Word for It.
Your Day Is One of a Kind. Your Photography Should Be, Too.
Big celebration? Intimate gathering? Something a little outside the box?
I'm here for all of it.
Every couple has a different story, and I believe your photography experience should reflect yours. We'll talk about what matters most to you and create a plan that makes sense for your day.
No cookie-cutter experience. No unnecessary pressure. Just incredible memories and photos you'll love coming back to.

Well hello there, I’m Matthew
Photographer. Professional Hype Man. Occasional Dance Floor Participant.
I love weddings. Like, genuinely LOVE weddings.
The people, the energy, the emotion, the unexpected moments that somehow become everyone's favorite stories. There's nothing quite like it.
My journey started with a camera and took me around the world, including five years working for Disney and Universal Studios. Along the way, I discovered that what I love most isn't just taking beautiful photographs.
It's connecting with people and being part of moments they'll remember forever.
When you hire me, you're getting someone who's going to celebrate right alongside you, help you feel comfortable, keep an eye on the little details, and capture the big moments without turning your wedding into one giant photo session.
I'll bring the camera, the enthusiasm, and probably a few terrible jokes.
You just bring yourselves.
Questions? I've Got You.
Planning a wedding comes with approximately a million questions. Luckily, I've got answers! Here are a few things couples often ask before we start making memories together.
What if we're awkward in front of the camera?
Perfect. You're my kind of people!
Seriously, you don't need modeling experience or a secret collection of Pinterest poses. I'll guide you when you need it, make you laugh when things feel awkward, and help you forget there's even a camera around.
Your only job? Be yourselves and have fun.
What happens if it rains on our wedding day?
Then we make some epic rain photos!
A little rain isn't going to ruin our fun. We'll roll with whatever Mother Nature throws our way, find some creative alternatives, and make the most of it.
Sometimes the unexpected moments make the best memories.
Can we include our pets or some of our favorite things?
Please do!
Your wedding should reflect everything that makes you two, well, YOU. Whether that means including your four-legged best friend, recreating a favorite movie scene, or incorporating something wonderfully nerdy, I'm all for it.
The more personality, the better!
Still Have Questions?
I've got plenty more answers, and I'd love to hear what's on your mind.
Let's Make Some Memories Worth Reliving.
You're planning a wedding that's completely yours.
The people. The laughter. The happy tears. The unexpected moments that nobody could have planned even if they tried.
I'd love to be there to capture it all.
So tell me about your plans. The big ideas, the little details, and everything in between.
Forget perfect. Let's make it unforgettable.
Proudly photographing love stories in Minneapolis, St. Paul, throughout Minnesota, and wherever your story takes us.
