About this vendor
Wedding photography is a delicate profession.
As a photographer, I witness situations that require tact and discernment. The trust that the couple gives me is crucial.
I focus on the unexpected, finding authentic moments and new perspectives that allow me to make consistently unique imagery every time.
I'm often invisible, but I can easily move to the front whenever necessary, as in group photos.
I take pictures of weddings from inside the party, not detached from it.
I love to make portraits with a sense of place. Something that is indicative of who you are.
Building rapport and confidence is integral and I always make sure the bride and groom feel comfortable and appear in the best version of themselves.

I cannot overstate how amazing it was working with Matt (the owner)! He is laid-back, professional, fun to spend time with, and incredibly knowledgeable. We had a few ideas of locations and shots we wanted on the day, which he accommodated perfectly, but he also came up with some fantastic ideas on the fly which have turned out great from what we've seen so far (including our first look and some great backdrops during the “golden hour”)! He was efficient with our photos while still making sure everyone was positioned optimally. He was everything we needed and more, and at a very reasonable price! He also did our engagement photos, braving the cold January air, which turned out beautifully =)
Matt was extraordinary! My whole bridal party was in awe of good he was. He would do a little dance to get us loosened up and laughing so our photos wouldn't look stiff. Also, I truly think he's part ninja with the way he moves- he captured photos I didn't even know he was there for. I knew I wanted a great photographer from the start and I think we hit the jackpot. Especially since the pandemic caused our wedding to go from 200+ guests down to 20; I'm so glad I have lots of beautiful pictures to go through with all my friends and family that couldn't be there. These are the photos I'm going to show my kids/grandkids one day and I could not be more proud of how they turned out. Cannot stress enough how highly I recommend Matt with Camelot Photography.
Camelot Photography and Matt are simply THE BEST. He photographed our wedding in June (and our engagement photos in February) and it was all seamless, stressless and wonderful - everything the bride and groom want it to be on their special day!
Not only did his fun personality put our wedding party, families and us at ease throughout the day, but the pictures were so amazing that I can't begin to praise them enough.
Matt had his own ideas and they were creative, artistic and beautiful (as you can see in his gallery) but he was also very open to my thoughts about certain places and pictures I had in my vision and he made it all come true! Plus, the candids were fun, energetic and some of my favorite moments from the day.
My husband and I (and actually anyone you ask who was photographed at our wedding) would recommend Matt in a heartbeat to couples looking for a talented photographer to be a part of and capture your special day!
We used Matt for our engagement and wedding photos this past summer and I could not recommend him highly enough! Matt immediately put us both at ease and was so easy to photograph with. His photographs are truly stunning and captured not only the moment but truly the feeling behind it. Matt did a lot of candid photos for us, which we were absolutely in love with! Our posed pictures were also completely and totally breathtaking. At all times, Matt made us feel comfortable and taken care of. He even went the extra mile and stayed a couple hours over our original time! Overall, an amazing experience with Matt! He is well worth it! :)
Melina was fantastic to work with for our engagement photos and wedding. Very calming presence and so creative. Thank you for these amazing photos!
We had Matt shoot our destination wedding in Canada last summer and it was the BEST wedding planning decision we made, hands down. Love love love our candid photos! Thank you so much!
Matt is one of the most professional, talented and laid back photographers of all time! He has a way of putting people at ease and capturing true emotion and expression. There is no one else that compares to Matt. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Matt was recommended to us by a friend and after having him shoot our wedding he feels like our friend. He was so engaged with all of our guests and was the hit of the evening. Even the most camera shy person was having a blast having their photos taken. He is truly a pecial person. We couldn’t be happier with our photos. They are really unbelievable and we couldn’t be happier. I think I said that twice. It was money well spent and hard to put a value on the quality and experience we got from Matt. Highly recommend you hire him regardless of where in the world you are getting married. It’s money well spent and you will not regret it.
Matt is the best photographer I have ever seen . I love my wedding photos , they are beautiful. He made being photographed fun .
I highly recommend Matt! He was wonderful to work with and made me and my bride's experience phenomenal! Seriously great photographer and photos!
Having Matt as our photographer was seriously the best experience ever! I can't say enough great things about him. He made us, and our friends and family, feel so at ease. And the photos...the most beautiful I've ever seen. Thanks Matt!
Matt Garceau is one of the most talented photographers I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. I was just in awe of the way he sees things and can capture those special moments.
Matt is a super cool guy too. He's so in love with his family and his work. We really enjoyed getting to know him.
If you are a person with a really cool venue or outdoor wedding book Matt. The way that textures and light jump out in his photos is just breathtaking. He's great with kids - I had 2 very shy kids (flower girl and ring bearer) that always had a smile because Matt would do goofy things to get them to laugh. My bridesmaids also laughed at these moments. Seriously, everyone was happy and actually had a good time taking photos!
Matt is also great at relaying past experiences. He made sure that my Hubby's wishes were not lost in planning process. His suggestions were always spot on. He asked us frequently how we were doing throughout the day.
I could keep going on and on but it really boils down to this - Matt is a talented and fun photographer with many years of experience. We are very grateful that we had the opportunity to work with him. We will absolutely work with him again in the future.
Matt was our photographer and he was awesome! For unphotogenic people, Matt made getting our photograph taken fun! Our photos turned out awesome and I'm excited to share them with everyone! I highly recommend Matt! Thanks Matt!!
Having Matt from Camelot Photography take our wedding photos is the greatest decision I made in my wedding planning. Aside from being extremely professional and knowledgeable in the photography business, Matt has an aura that seems to bring out the absolute best in his subjects. His incredibly artistic eye captured so many moments of joy in our wedding day that I cannot even begin to pick my favorites. I cannot recommend him enough.
We can't say enough good things about working with Matt from Camelot Photography! We're both artists and therefore had high expectations for our wedding photos. The images we received were of such high quality and will absolutely withstand the test of time - they're well lit, well framed, included a great balance of posed and candid shots, and overall did an amazing job of capturing the mood of our wedding. Plus, we were given the rights to all of our photos so we are able to do whatever we want with them - there was no pressure to order prints or other items that we didn't need. Matt went above and beyond on the day of the wedding itself. He was so easy to work with and willing to accommodate all of our requests. We walked around outside in 80 degree weather with two dogs and he helped us select beautiful locations and stick to our schedule. Inside the venue, we dealt with a herd of confused relatives and friends and Matt did a great job keeping us all on task and getting all of the group shots that we had requested. Everyone at our wedding commented on what a great photographer we had. We also got married on a Tuesday so Matt gave us an awesome discount and traveled from Minneapolis, MN to Madison, WI. We just can't say enough about his professionalism, quality of the photos, his great personality, and an amazing price point on top of everything else. He did such an incredible job and I would definitely recommend him to anyone I know! Stop searching and go with Camelot Photography now - you won't regret it!
Melina was absolutely amazing! I am so beyond happy with my wedding photos I can't stop looking at them!
Matt was so awesome to shoot our engagement photos with. He was filled with ideas and excitement that really relaxed us as a couple. You can tell he has a passion for photography. His flexibility with time due to weather circumstances relieved stress for us that day as well. Also, he had such a quick turnaround with getting our pictures back to us! We were extremely happy with how our pictures turned out! Love looking through them!
We chose Matt for our photographer for our wedding and he was absolutely amazing!! He was very talented, made sure the entire day went smoothly and had many creative ideas for our winter wedding. He kept everyone laughing and directed photo taking perfectly. He even stood outside in -30 degree weather to capture the most beautiful photos in the snow. I would highly recommend choosing Matt for your wedding photographer, he was just wonderful!
Matt did an absolutely amazing job with our wedding photos! I am so pleased with the variety; He captured the joy, fun and pure beauty of the day. There were amazing, more artistic photos of me and my husband, as well as exciting candid pictures of everyone else enjoying the day. There were both emotional and touching moments as well as silly, ridiculous moments that were captured for us to remember.
Matt was fun and flexible to work with. We had a dog in our engagement photos and young children in our wedding. His enthusiasm and positive energy rubbed off on everyone!
These pictures are everything we hoped they would be and I would strongly recommend Matt at Camelot for anyone's wedding.
Camelot photography is OUTSTANDING, Period! No Question.
Professionalism .....customize service........ outstanding work!
Jose & Sheri 7.23.16!
Matt did our engagement shoot last minute in Minneapolis for us. He was not only extremely responsive before our shoot, but he was also amazing to work with. He made us both feel so comfortable, and had a great time the whole shoot. Matt truly loves what he does and it's so apparent from just 2 hours with him. we LOVE our photos and wouldn't hesitate at all using Camelot again.
Everyone loved Matt! Slightly goofy but not afraid to get the shots. Easy to work with.
STOP. YOUR. SEARCH. NOW. Matt from Camelot is where it's at. You honestly do NOT need to keep looking for who will be capturing your day.So PROMPT with responsiveness to my many emails. PROFESSIONAL and FRIENDLY upon meeting with the first time when we totally knew he was the one for us. So UNDERSTANDING to our particular needs as customers. I swear he's like a NINJA PHOTOGRAPHER swooping in undetected and capturing a bazillion shots. Does this silly ass hip swinging thing to capture real smiles that's HILARIOUS every single time. Everyone at my wedding LOVED him. GREAT WITH KIDS. And obviously his work is absolutely STUNNING. So ya I'm totally serious..stop your search. For real. Just take a look at the gallery online quick and if that doesn't sell you basically immediately like it did me than shoot am email. You won't regret it.

I will not be going through anyone else for photography accept Matt! He is absolutely amazing, he loves what he does and he does it well, not only did our engagement pictures turn out amazing but on our wedding day, our family and bridal party enjoyed his energy and flexibility throughout our wedding day. He is worth every dollar spent as he is professional and makes the day special and catching a lot of fun little moments throughout the day! He is never off the clock and worked really well with our little ring bearers and flower girl! My husband was very impressed with his energy, flexibility and loved that he ran with all of our ideas! As for me I really appreciated when he worked with me to get pictures of me with my grandma who wasn't doing so well, we changed our location of family photos the day of and I was able to get plenty of pictures with her.
I worked with Matt on our photography and loved it from our first meeting! Matt is so incredibly knowledgeable and impressed us beginning at the first meeting. He already knew our venues and timing and he came with initial plans for us, showing us he had already put thought into it. He even knew what time the sun would set on our wedding day so he had some recommendations for that as well! We had our engagement pictures in the late spring and had all of the pictures back within about 2 weeks! You own all of the pictures that they give you so you can print them wherever or do whatever you want with them! When it came to the wedding we had a phone call with him the week of to go over the full schedule and what we were thinking for the day. He was so easy to work with and really cared what we wanted, even though he is the expert! :) On the wedding day he was SO easy to work with and we really got through all of our pictures very quickly! Our wedding party and family mentioned how quick and painless all of the pictures were! At the reception you could barely tell he was there but captured some wonderful shots! I can't say enough about Matt and Camelot! I definitely recommend them!
We were lucky enough to have Matt as our photographer for both our engagement pictures and our wedding day. Our wedding pictures turned out better than I could have ever hoped. Matt does such a fantastic job of making you feel so comfortable and pictures with him really felt effortless. We have gotten so many compliments on how unique and stunning our photos turned out. We had a winter wedding and I am so happy we had Matt to come up with all the different shots that really captured our day in such a fun way. We would highly recommend Camelot.
We loved working with our photographer. Our photographer, Matt, put so much effort into his work. We ordered him dinner and he had us cancel it because he didn't want to waste the opportunity to take photos.
While we don't have our wedding photos back, we received many compliments on our engagement photos. Can't wait to see the results of our photographer's hard work in a month.
Advice- Get married off-season and you'll save a lot of money. We received the most experienced photographer for the price of an average one because our wedding was in November.
We booked Matt after looking at his photos online and having a phone interview with him. Planning our wedding from out of state wasn't always easy, but Matt made it incredibly easy. He was so easy to get a hold of and planning out our day with him was great as well. We had several requests that I felt may annoy a photographer but Matt made me feel so comfortable talking about what I wanted to see when I got my pictures back. On the day of the wedding, my parents were so impressed with his focus and work ethic... He never stopped capturing moments!!
Most importantly, the pictures were beyond anything I could have imagined. His editing is beautiful and everything looks so organic- not posed. My sisters and I never love the same pictures of us and we all love every family photo of us. My husband and I have amazing pictures we are so happy with. We could not afford a videographer for our wedding, but these pictures tell a story that we will love forever.
Matt was absolutely fantastic! I saw family pictures that he did of my sister-in-law and they were gorgeous so I knew I wanted to go with him for my wedding. He was an absolute professional and included engagement photos so that we were comfortable with him on the wedding day. He took really large family photos and got everyone involved. We received so many compliments about how fantastic he was and he really looked for the beautiful moments to capture!
We worked with Matt, and he did a great job. We don't have the pictures back yet, but he was so dedicated and passionate about getting the good shots. Would recommend him to anyone. He is on the pricier side, but I believe you get what you pay for. My guests all loved his as well.
I love my wedding photos. I have professional documentary style wedding photographs. Creative,artistic,interesting.For 6 hours my husband and I were Matt's world. You don't need to give Matt a tired list of photos to get,he's an artist.
Thanks Matt
Shannonlee and Kevin
I was very pleased with Matt Garceau. His creativity and experience captured our special day for years to come.
I would recommend Camelot Weddings to any one of my friends and family.
I hope this helps!
Derek
I am so impressed by the quality of image and by the customer service we received. Thank you Camelot Photography...we will recommend you to anyone!
We recently used Matt for our wedding photographer and for our engagement pictures. I absolutely loved him! He was very nice, patient and helpful with suggestions of what/how to do things. All of my coworkers and family were amazed with how great our pictures are and we are very pleased with the quality and attention he gave us. As a bride I would never hesitate to refer him to anyone.
We are SO happy we chose Camelot to be a part of our amazing day! We LOVE the photos!! Special thanks to Matt for being a true professional. You clearly love what you do.
Thank you so much for the amazing pictures of our day!
So worth it. Get a photographer with experience like we did!
Thanks Matt!
We had the pleasure of working with Melina and she was wonderful! Our wedding photos and engagement pics are perfect! Melina is very timely in her turnarounds too. All the staff at Camelot are professional & personable & easy to work with. Packages include your engagement shoot, which is nice.
Matt was an absolutely wonderful to work with. He was very accommodating with every one of my needs! On the day of the wedding, he was so great with whole wedding party and all the guests! He was always able to get people to laugh! Matt captured some incredible photos for both the engagement session and the wedding. He is a great photographer and I would recommend to anyone!
We had Matt, the Elite level photographer and owner of Camelot Photography, and are so happy with our pictures! We have known others who have paid a similar amount ($3,000 range) for wedding photographers and their pictures can't even compare to the quality of our photos. They are even recommending Camelot to their engaged friends even though they had other photographers!
Matt was very nice and helpful. We met with him for our consultation, we had an engagement photo session for free, and talked with him by phone (we were away for school) to go over our thoughts for the wedding day. We just had him for 6.5 hours, which other photographers will tell you isn't enough time, but it was PLENTY. This was because he was organized, constantly on the move taking pictures, and got in everything from getting ready to the dance. Nothing felt rushed and he was able to get in so many wonderful pictures!!! We would recommend him to anyone getting married!
We chose Camelot as our photographer for our wedding back in November, and we couldn’t be more pleased with their overall service and the beautiful images they captured. Before choosing Camelot, we met with a number of other wedding photographers. We were struck almost immediately by how much more impressive Camelot’s sample work was than any of the other companies we looked at. The images were beautifully composed and really had a sense of style. If you are considering a photographer for your wedding I highly recommend going in and viewing their sample work; it will knock your socks off.
It was a lot of fun working with our photographer, Matt, both at the wedding and engagement shoot. He maintained a great balance of keeping it casual enough that people could still have fun, but organized enough that we were able to get through all of our pictures on time. As I mentioned before, the pictures we got are amazing. He was able to get us out of our typical “smile for the picture” mode and capture some really great moments of us and our guests. He also has an eye from the dramatic, so he got some epic pictures of us with the Minneapolis skyline and the sunset (his first question to us when we told him our date was “what time is the sunset?”). What is even better is that you own all of your images at the end-no expensive printing and no water marks! This company really seems to concentrate on capturing beautiful photos of the event without the gimmicks. (Second photographer! Free guest book!) Based on my experience, I highly recommend Camelot Photography, and especially Matt.
So our wedding was in Indianapolis, on September 1st. We looked all over Indy for a photographer we really liked with no success. I had recently spent a few years in Minneapolis and developed a great affinity for the city and thought maybe I'll take a look there just to have something to compare against.
Well, I quickly found Matt at Camelot and was greatly impressed. He worked with us on travel arrangements and when it was all said and done the total cost was comparable to a local photographer.
Day of Matt was everywhere, he caught every moment. Dancing in the corner to little kids picking their nose. The pictures were outstanding and the best part in my mind is we got all of the rights to them.
Big thanks to Matt for making our wedding easy and memorable.
I could not have asked for a better photographer! Matt did a fabulous job on both our engagement and wedding photos. He was easy going, efficient, and gave great direction to our wedding party. It was such a smooth process from start to finish and we are so thankful for the opportunity to work with such an expert photographer. He went above and beyond our expectations, and managed to get some amazing sunset shots we had requested with only minutes to spare! Even our guests were raving about what a fun guy he was and how he managed to capture absolutely everything! We would recommend him as the only photographer to go with for all our friends and relatives. Thanks so much for a great stress free experience!!
We worked with Camelot photography for our wedding photos. Specifically we worked with Kristi, and we adored her! From the very first contact with her she was professional and seemed to "get" exactly what we were looking for. Upon receiving our engagement pictures I knew we had committed to working with a gem. They are incredible! I cannot wait to get my wedding photos back!
We had our wedding on July 21, 2012 at Izaty's Resort on Mille Lacs. We had Matt as our photographer. He did an AWESOME job. I would definetly recommend him to anyone. FANTASTIC!!! Very Pleased!!
Everything they advertised and more. I didn't want posed photos, just very natural shots of my husband and I. The photographer Lisa was awesome and made us feel so comfortable and the pictures were beautiful.
We loved working with this company. Extremely flexible, and very friendly staff. Kristi did our photos, and they are absolutely stunning!
I would highly recommend Camelot Photography to anyone! We had the best time and so many of our guest commented on how great our photographer was. We can't stop looking at our photos. Don't just pick anyone to shoot your wedding... this is what you have afterwards to remember your wedding by and it is just how I remembered it being. Thank you so much to the team at Camelot Photography!!!
We booked Matt, one of the elite photographers and he did an amazing job. Our wedding day had both a Cambodian ceremony in addition to the Western ceremony. He was really flexible and just went with the flow of the day. You can tell that being a photographer is not just a job, but something he really loves to do. Throughout the wedding he was professional and a pleasure to work with. We are extremely happy with our photos.
Our photographer was great. She was accommodating, creative and fun. She traveled along with my wedding party and we visited different photography locations. So happy I chose Camelot.
Matt was the photographer for our wedding. He was recommended to us by a friend and we could not be happier with our decision. The pictures are AMAZING!!! Better than I would have ever expected. Matt is very professional and made my husband and I feel so comfortable (my husband is not usually very photogenic and he looked great and very natural in the pictures). He was the perfect blend of staying in the background and getting candid photos and being assertive enough to get the group pictures done quickly. I would recommend Camelot to anyone!
Matt from Camelot was a photographer and he did a spectacular job! He was profesional, patient, and really made sure that we got the photos that we wanted. I would recommend him to everyone!
We loved working with Camelot! Our photographer was great and we can't wait to see the pics in a few weeks!
Malaina at Camelot Photography was great to work with. Easy to communicate with and was very professional.
I can't say enough about Camelot! Out pictures look magazine worthy, even though I am not. Matt (owner) did an incredible job making everything relaxed and comfortable. We were from out of town and met with him once, but never doubted he'd have everything under control. I have absolutely no complaints and would recommend Camelot to anyone in the Twin Cities area! My wife said, besides the fact that we got married, the Camelot team was the best part of our wedding... even our guests were impressed!
Matt was our photographer and he was awesome!!! We haven't received our photos yet but I'm not worried at all. Everyone at the wedding was asking about him and sid they want to use him for their kids wedding. I would definitely recommend him!!!
Jessica was perfect! So much fun and great ideas. Our pictures turned out great. Everyone razed over how beautiful they were. She did an amazing job!
I chose Camelot because of the options they have with their photography packages. The two biggest things I was looking for was the rights of my photos and the price. Kristi L was an awesome photographer and I highly recommend her.
He was amazing. He got every shot that we asked for and was layed bck and fun to work with. He was there whenever we needed him.
Our photographer was amazing!!! He was ready and willing to take any photos we wanted. We literally saw him 'sail' across the room so that he could get photos of candid things happening! He was very professional and very personable at the same time. We would reccommend him to ANYONE!!
