There are not enough outstanding remarks I can give for Matt Speck Photography and the photos he…read moretook of my husband and I. But here is my attempt at it...
When my husband and I were married two years ago, we had our original wedding photos done by a photographer who turned out to have no experience and it showed in the pictures. Shadows everywhere (you couldn't see our faces in most pictures), no artistic thought to how the pictures were taken, and absolutely no attempt on this individuals' part to get to know us or tell our story. To say the least, I was devastated. It took me two years to look through our wedding photos again and finally get past my anger, frustration, and sadness in order to reach out to someone and ask to recapture a small fraction of that experience for us. However, this story does have a happy ending...Insert Matt Speck.
After talking with Matt about the vibe we were looking for and the location we wanted, Matt took it upon himself to check out multiple locations that could be our backdrop, including being there at the time of day we would be shooting to determine if the place would be perfect (I mean, come on!) When we met in person, he was the most laid back, kind, and professional photographer I have ever met. It was easy to spend the afternoon with him as he made my husband and I feel so comfortable, like we were old friends. You could actually see his wheels turning when he was thinking about the next shot he wanted to take, and there was so much thought to every shot. His artistic eye is pure, unique, and unmatched. We ventured to countless spots on the trail and had so many different shots taken, I was blown away by how many different places we went.
When we had finished, I was hopeful that we had gotten some frame-able shots, but when our photos arrived a few short weeks later, I was truly blown away.
Looking though all the pictures for the first time, I had tears rolling down my face, but for a very different reason from the tears I had after looking at our wedding photos two years earlier. They were incredible and breathtaking. I think about now being able to show these to our children and grandchildren, and Matt is the one to thank for these priceless photos. I cannot recommend Matt Speck enough, and am already imaging him capturing photos of our family in the future.
