The Experience

“MATT AND CHELSEY MADE US FEEL SO INCREDIBLY COMFORTABLE IN OUR OWN SKIN.”

“Matt and Chelsey were recommended to us and my husband and I were wary going into the meeting because we wanted someone to shoot our wedding that cared as much as we did. And we were not disappointed by Matt - he cared, had a great sense of humour, and was someone we could talk to. Being able to talk to him and his better half, Chelsey, helped us exponentially as we felt super awkward going into the engagement shoot (because honestly, one can only smile for so long!) But after a lovely shoot in the mountains, my husband and I were laughing, goofing off, and got some absolutely gorgeous pictures that reflected both our personalities and the love we felt for each other. Matt's skill and charisma carried over to our wedding day - where Chelsey also helped wrangle our families, our wedding party, and ourselves so that we stayed wonderfully on schedule - and the pictures turned out fantastically! My husband and I spent hours looking at each and every picture, enjoying how the memories were captured and how they made us feel. We can't thank Matt and Chelsey enough!”

“THEY MADE MY HUSBAND AND ME FEEL SO COMFORTABLE, RELAXED, AND WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND FOR US!”

“Thank you for being a part of our day and making it incredible! We cannot find the words to recommend Matt and Chelsey. They are amazing! They made my husband and me feel so comfortable, relaxed, and went above and beyond for us! Chelsey helped to carry my dress and set up shots! Matt’s eye for finding light and setting up our bridal party was perfect! We got married on the smokiest day of the year in Canmore so we were concerned our shots would not work out but Matt made the day better as he showed us how the light was captured in previews! Thank you!”

“I WAS AMAZED AT THE MOMENTS THEY CAPTURED AND I LITERALLY HAD NO IDEA THEY WERE THERE, WHICH I BOTH APPRECIATED AND ADMIRED.”

“Wow, I can't say enough great things about Matt and his wife Chelsey. We had our engagement shoot and wedding photography done by them and we are super satisfied. They are flexible and realistic, even moving our engagement shoot day around based on the weather so that we could have the perfect snowy day. Matt helped us prepare for our big day in September with lots of tips, tricks and moral support, even meeting us for drinks instead of sending an email to answer our many questions and address our concerns. We changed our minds a lot and they were able to accommodate us every step of the way. Matt and Chelsey are also just great all-around people, very compassionate and fun to be around. Their personalities are so welcoming and open we feel like we've made two new friends.”

“DYNAMIC AND ADAPTABLE, AND TAKES ADVANTAGE OF ANY OPPORTUNITY THAT COULD CAPTURE A MEANINGFUL PHOTO.”

“We are so happy that we were referred to Matt to photograph our June wedding. As we were long-distance planning, Matt made the process such a breeze. He was always accessible and answered all of our questions. Matt has a relaxed and confident presence that makes him so easy to get along with. He is dynamic and adaptable and takes advantage of any opportunity that could capture a meaningful photo. He listens to the needs of his clients and was very accommodating. Finally, he takes BEAUTIFUL photos! We are so pleased with how our pictures turned out and would absolutely recommend Matt as a photographer.”

“MATT AND CHELSEY ENSURED WE WERE ALWAYS COMFORTABLE, WARM, AND MADE SURE WE WERE TRULY ENJOYING OUR EXPERIENCE WHICH WE VERY MUCH DID.”

“My fiance and I could not have been any happier with having Matt photograph our Engagement shoot. With our schedule being unknown because of my fiances work, finding a photographer that was incredibly flexible and understanding to our situation was important for us. Thankfully, Matt was up to the task and had a stunning portfolio to accompany exactly what we were looking for. Matt was always quick to answer any questions, provided suggestions on beautiful locations (we chose Emerald Lake and have absolutely no regrets!), and provided us with our photos before the deadline he had set with us from the start. Above all, he was such a fun photographer to work with and went above and beyond to get the perfect shot, even wading into the river in a January winter!

“FUN AND PROFESSIONAL TO WORK WITH AND REALLY PUTS YOU AT EASE TO CAPTURE BEAUTIFUL AND AUTHENTIC PHOTOS.”

“Matt shot our wedding this past August and we couldn't be more happy with the results! We knew his clean, natural style would suit our aesthetic perfectly and are so thrilled to have such lovely reminders of our day. He was always quick to respond to questions and was extremely flexible as we tried to arrange our engagement shoot from a province away. Matt is fun and professional to work with and really puts you at ease to capture beautiful and authentic photos.”

“HIS ATTITUDE AND STYLE TAKE THE AWKWARDNESS OUT OF PHOTOS AND ALLOW FOR REALLY FUN AND BEAUTIFUL SHOTS.”

“Our time working with Matt was fantastic. Not only does he throw in a free engagement shoot to get used to working with the couple, but his attitude and style take the awkwardness out of photos and allow for really fun and beautiful shots. Both the engagement photos and those from our wedding day are stunning and we're going to have a hard time finding places to hang them all.”

“MATT'S ABILITY TO CAPTURE OUR LOVE, OUR PERSONALITIES, AND THE SETTING PROVIDED ARTIFACTS WE WILL LOOK BACK ON FOR THE REST OF OUR LIFE.”

“From the engagement shoot to our wedding, Matt perfectly captured and exceeded our expectations. We trucked Matt out to the mountains of Banff for a sushi-picnic engagement, and to a historic mansion in Nelson for the big day. Matt's ability to capture our love, our personalities, and the setting provided artifacts we will look back on for the rest of our life.”

“HE WAS ALWAYS PROFESSIONAL AND MADE US FEEL COMFORTABLE IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA.”

“My husband and I had such a wonderful experience working with Matt! Just by looking at his work made us confident he could capture our January Wedding perfectly. He was always professional and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We often find ourselves going through the pictures we received from him because they all show such special moments! Thank you again, Matt!”

“YOU MIGHT BELLY LAUGH, OR CRY, OR JUMP UP AND DOWN WHEN YOU SEE THE PHOTOS HE TAKES.”

“Choosing Matt to do our wedding and engagement photography was one of the best decisions we made. From the first time we met over a bowl of pho, to receiving the final photo edits in our inbox, Matt has been nothing but superb, helpful, and professional. Our first engagement shoot got rained out and he offered to do a 2nd shot, even though the photos he took were already amazing! That is just the type of person he is. He and Chelsey are so adventurous and fun-loving, and it comes out in the photos. I cannot recommend him enough - you will not be disappointed! You might belly laugh, or cry, or jump up and down when you see the photos he takes. (Not speaking from experience of course :) ) Matt and Chelsey, thank you from Will and I. We are SO thrilled!”
