Ryan photographed my band (tenmonthsummer) at our first show ever and to this day one of those photos is my computer background. Their pricing is extremely reasonable given how good the photos are. We didn't make any special requests for coloring or B&W because we trust Ryan's vision, but I'm sure they would be able to accommodate anything reasonable. With how good Ryan's photos turn out, we HAD to use them again for one of our biggest shows ever opening for national touring act from Australia, Trophy Eyes. In this review you can see some of their photos from that show. They speak for themselves. Mind you, Ryan is also a student and is balancing that life with their photography career, so for this show Ryan gave us a heads up that the full shot list would be a little longer, but still gave us a handful of amazing selects THE NEXT DAY so we had something for socials. Once again, I cannot speak higher of how professional and excellent Ryan's work and partnership are. We WILL be using Ryan again and I strongly recommend you take the leap if you haven't!

We got married August 28th 2021 on a hot Saturday day. The night before the ceremony my husband and…read moreI were extremely anxious about how everything was going to work. one of those worries was the photos, since we are both a little awkward and have never had a photoshoot. When Chrissy showed up, talked to us, and took us around Chicago she took all those nerves away. Everything went so smooth and it felt so easy and we couldn't thank Chrissy enough for providing such a warm and light environment. Our families even commented on how sweet and helpful she was. We couldn't of have hired a better photographer for such a special day.

My husband and I hired Chrissy to be our wedding photographer. She also did our engagement…read morepictures. She is not only an amazing photographer, but an amazing person as well! She is so sweet and never makes you feel uncomfortable. She is so knowledgeable about what looks good and improvises if things don't quite work out how they were planned. We had planned to get sunset pictures during our reception, but it down poured and was storming the entire night. Instead of just not getting any pictures outside, Chrissy had the great idea to get pics outside with an umbrella (after the storms were gone) and these turned out to be some of our favorites!! She also has an eye for capturing the most meaningful candid pictures. I could go on and on! She's the best!!

I am a worrier and I worry about everything. As someone who watches the local news before bed, I've…read moreseen probably 500 different segments of "Problem Solvers" (or some variation) about a couple who paid a photographer thousands of dollars only to have them bail last minute, take crappy photos, or disappear forever after taking said photos. So naturally, since wedding photos were my #1 priority, I was basically a lunatic when it came to finding our photographer. A friend of ours is a former wedding planner and she recommend us to Christopher as someone who had helped her out in a pinch. We loved his website, but it all seemed to good to be true. It wasn't! After talking with him I couldn't have felt more at ease. I can't say we didn't put him through the ringer while "interviewing" with him, but I can say how absolutely THRILLED we are with our wedding photos. I jokingly tell everyone that I love my wedding photos more than I could ever love my husband (so far its not true, but only time will tell how that pans out..;) KIDDING). Christopher was awesome to work with. We are inherently awkward and unruly people, but Christoper did a great job of coaching us and capturing "real" photos. There isn't a photo in our collection that looks overly posed or unnatural (we worked out those kinks during our engagement shoot). In the end we received about 1400 edited, digital photos (I can't imagine how many he actually took!), and the count does not even include our engagement session. We had him all day from 9am to 10pm, and our package included a 2nd photographer. I also can't emphasis enough how easy it was to have Christopher around us all day, even in the limo as we cruised before the reception. Our friends were probably even too comfortable around him which explains some unusual groomsmen photos.. My best advice (obviously stolen from Christopher): 1. DO the engagement session. We wanted to bail on it, but I can't stress enough how much it helped to practice being in front of camera. I think it made our wedding photos a million times less awkward having been used to the camera being on us. 2. Hold your bouquet low as you walk down the aisle. I see so many photos (not done by Chris) where the bride is holding her bouquet by her chest and covering up that dress you just paid hundreds of dollars for. Also smile!! Maybe you are crying, or about to barf, but just smile.. that goofy look is what people call 'true love'. 3. Try to think about the photos that you actually WANT. I've been in so many weddings where I have to sit through 4 hours of photos while EVERYONE gets portraits done. Why do you want a picture of just you and your great aunt? Do you need a solo portrait of each bridesmaid? Who frames a solitary photo of themselves? Christopher was more than willing to take whatever photos we asked, but our family photos took 20 minutes tops. The group photos are the ones you are going to frame anyway. Cut the excess and get to your reception.. you should be partying right now! (Also make sure to sneak away for 15 minutes towards the end of your reception.. I mean have you SEEN his website? The man knows his way around a flash at night).

We couldn't have asked for a better photography team than Matt Mason Photography for our wedding…read moreday! From the very beginning, communication with Matt was clear and easy. He was always quick to respond, professional, and genuinely excited to capture our day. The automated check ins really kept us on track and easy to follow during all of the planning chaos. On the wedding day itself, both Matt Mason and Ben Hanson made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, which is not always easy to do! They gave us just the right amount of guidance without making anything feel forced, so all of our photos look natural and full of joy. Both of them were calm, kind, and fun to be around, which helped us relax and actually enjoy the photo process. The results are stunning and we'll treasure these photos forever. We are so grateful for all the effort, attention to detail, and care they put into making sure everything was perfect. If you're looking for photographers who are talented, easy to work with, and truly go above and beyond, Matt Mason Photography is the one to book!

It was definitely worth it to us to have Matt travel to MN - we got an 8 hour package, fusion film, and flush mount album. Matt and Matt put us, our families, and bridal party very much at ease throughout the day, and were very considerate of cultural and personality needs. They gave us latitude on certain photos/poses we wanted but also gave us great ideas. I would highly recommend Matt Mason Photography for any event!

When planning our daughter's wedding, we weren't focused on a long list of specific detail shots…read more What mattered most to us was capturing the love, joy, and emotion of the day. Michele and Andy (and the team) exceeded every expectation. From the very beginning, they were responsive, attentive, professional, and incredibly easy to work with. They seamlessly blended into our family and made everyone feel comfortable, allowing them to capture genuine moments instead of staged photographs. When we received our sneak peek just one week after the wedding, we were already amazed. Then, only a week later, our full gallery arrived, and each photo took our breath away. The images are beautiful, elegant, and filled with emotion. They perfectly tell the story of our daughter's wedding day and captured so many moments we didn't even realize were happening. Misha Media truly knows what they're doing. Their talent, eye for detail, and ability to capture authentic emotion are extraordinary. We are beyond grateful to have had Michele and Andy as part of such a special day, and we will treasure these photographs for a lifetime. If you're looking for photographers who will do more than take pictures and will genuinely capture the heart of your day, we cannot recommend Misha Media highly enough. Five stars isn't enough.

The only way I can properly describe Mindy is, "magic." Mindy photographed two engagement sessions,…read moreour wedding, maternity photos, newborn photos, and two sets of family pictures for us (so far), and every single one has been nothing shy of perfect. She delivers albums full of photos that perfectly represent the event and individuals - capturing personalities and emotions to a tee. She has a creative, innovative eye behind the camera which allows her to produce true art pieces, which she delivers alongside beautiful traditional portraits and emotional candids. Whenever we receive photos we laugh out loud, gasp with excitement, and squeal with joy. It would be impossible not to. What is even more important is the experience Mindy brings to her clients. She makes every photo experience FUN. Mindy ensures that everyone is comfortable in front of the camera, allowing an ease in her photos that feels genuine. She immediately puts people at ease with her friendly, easygoing, and warm personality. Our family and friends LOVED spending time with her at our wedding, and I could not imagine that day without Mindy there. She is a part of our wedding memories, not just someone with a camera in the background. If there is one wedding vendor I would recommend to anyone and everyone I know, it is Mindy. She is the single best decision we made for our wedding, and the only person I'd ever want to capture photos of my family.
