He was exceptional to work with during the planning stages and went out of his way to provide our marketing team with images we can use for marketing purposes as well as donor thank you gifts. He turned around the images within 24 hours. Unedited and untouched - they were beautiful! We couldn't have asked for a better photographer with a bigger heart who really captured the essence of our organization's mission and the heart of the children we serve. Thank you, Matt, for your outstanding work!

Matt was very patient listening to my ideas about the whole set-up etc, and helped me to explore different spaces for the photo shoot to get what I wanted. The photo shoot session was very efficient and the end results were very artistic and went beyond my expectation. My original idea of printing holiday postcards to friends and family turned into making an album for my parents and framing the photos in large prints hanging on the walls of my childhood home. I would love to have Matt to be my photographer again for any future professional photography needs. No second thoughts.

She is a true artist who finds inspiration in so many things. She's will bring out small details that you didn't even think were important but bring a whole new perspective to the project. Every time I complete a shoot with her, i immediately get the next one on the books! I recommend Mindy to anyone and everyone who needs photography and branding services.

Before I begin, I think it's important to note that many couples/brides do not remember that the…read morephotographer is the ONE vendor you will be spending your ENTIRE day with. Meeting with that person is VERY important & really the one chance you have of finding out if you'll "fit" together. If you don't feel it when you meet, he/she is not the one. For us, it was Keith. First & foremost, Keith was WONDERFUL throughout our entire experience with him. After meeting with other photographers who we didn't really "feel," we were beyond pleased to meet with Keith. Our initial meeting with him in August 2007 was great - he showed us a lot of his previous work (large prints & small) & explained about how he liked to shoot weddings. It was nice to get a feel for how he worked, & understand his style. My husband & I liked his laid back attitude & knew he would be a fun person to spend our day with. We also liked that Keith specializes in 35mm film, something many wedding photographers no longer do. Having dabbled in (amateur) photography myself I really appreciated this & knew that the quality of our pictures would be ideal. Obviously I worried about the rights to negatives, but there was no need - Keith turns over ALL negatives (film & digital) to you after he gets them printed. This is something MOST wedding photographers will charge you an arm, a leg, & your first born for but Keith truly understands the importance (& ease) of the couple having the negatives at their fingertips. Our first experience with Keith was our engagement photos in September 2007. It was an awesome way to get to know him and learn how he works (especially for 2 people who'd never really had professional shots taken of them). He immediately put us at ease and after our shots we were excited to work with him again at our wedding. I highly recommend doing this regardless of who your photographer is - it really helped Tim and I feel comfortable with him the day of. We corresponded more as the big day drew closer via email & he was always prompt (within 24 hours) with his replies. We even went back & forth a few times regarding formal/family portraits & he was very willing to work with our complex families. Through the planning process Keith was also a great for ideas. We hadn't really thought about our wedding day time line when meeting with him, & he provided some great suggestions to make the day run smoother. On the day of the wedding (June 2008) I was admittedly a pretty calm bride, but Keith & his assistant had me feeling my best when they arrived on time & immediately jumped into taking shots. He had assured me his assistant was great, but having not met her or seen her work I was a bit nervous. Nonetheless, she made me feel 100% comfortable as she came in & starting shooting the "getting ready" process of the women in the wedding party. She got along great with all of the bridesmaids & made us feel very natural as we got ready. Once the day was underway Keith & his assistance kept up the good work. Throughout the ceremony we never really knew they were there, & when we got the pictures back were amazed at how many moments they captured - of us, our guests, & the beautiful surroundings of where we said our vows. All the little things we missed because we were watching each other. During family portraits Keith was great at "herding cats." Between our huge families, our moms, & the little ones in the wedding party we managed to get all the shots we had signed up for (he had us provide a list beforehand) & stay on schedule (we took pictures on the beach & wanted the light to be right). Throughout the rest of the evening Keith was fantastic. Our beach pictures were amazing & he had a great eye, catching beautiful scenery & the people in our wedding party. At the reception, he interacted with us & our guests, ensuring some fun & great shots of everyone, but also took some wonderful candid pictures that captured moments we (again) missed. His assistant got some great shots of our decor as well, which again was wonderful because those are the things the bride & groom have little time to soak up. Unlike the previous post, we had no reports of him drinking during our reception & his behavior was nothing but professional & fun (yes, you can be both). The only thing in his hand was a camera. After the wedding, we heard from Keith within a week. He emailed us with a few of his favorite shots & even said he captured the best exit shot he'd ever taken. Our prints and negatives were in our hands within a month of our wedding (I have friends who waited 6+ months) and since then we've happily recommended Keith to anybody we know getting married. Please be sure YOU (and your future spouse) meet Keith before making your decision. Online reviews can be helpful, but are nothing like meeting somebody in person. I'm happy to answer any questions you have, just message me. I added some of Keith's work from our wedding, for those interested in his style.

As a graphic designer, and an anal person in general, there were two visual aspects of my wedding…read morethat were crucial do a successful event: color correctness of the flowers, dresses, invites, menus, and programs and my photography. Surprisingly, everything on the actual day (5 April 2008) was seamless. My only complaint was the color correctness of my cake (that review to come...), but my photos turned out beautifully. A colleague of mine, another designer, had Keith for her wedding and she highly recommended him, knowing how photography is important to us. My fiancee and I met with Keith in his studio and he presented some of his past works, with which we immediately fell in love. His ability to catch the emotions and expressions of our closest friends and family (not an easy task as we had 300 guests) is what really make our photos stand out. The lighting in all the shots is deep and rich, from the vibrant color film, to the digital, to the composed black and white. Even the still life shots of my programs, centerpieces, and place cards carried a remarkable depth due to the medium format film. The movement conveyed in all the shots of everyone on our dance floor are truly the prizewinners. From one meeting with us, Keith was able to read our style, knew what we wanted, and was able to deliver for us. I recommended him to another bride already, and while attending hers, could actually watch Keith and his assistant at work, diligently documenting the most important day of her life. While I haven't had the honor of viewing her photos yet, I'm certain she'll be as elated as I was upon receiving mine. I'll upload some of our pics soon. jej: Amazing art nej: Long wait for the photos, but it was worth it.
