It has taken me a year to decide if I should write a review and upon looking at my photos a year later I decided it was time. My husband and I went over budget on a photographer because we felt like the photos/photographer was one of the most important decisions we were making.
Punctuality: our photographer (Matt) was an hour late. I wanted as many photos as possible to be taken prior to us getting to the venue and this was stressed to Matt during our pre consultation meeting. I wanted the groomsmen/bridesmaids to have nice photos as we were in a beautiful hotel in Stone Mountain. Instead, because Matt was late most of the groomsmen photos were quickly taken in the hotel room against a white wall and No bridesmaid photos were taken. I asked for all of the photos of the bridesmaids/groomsmen to be completed prior to us leaving the hotel.
Organization: Matt had no list of family photos that needed to be taken so instead on my wedding day, I orchestrated and had to on the fly try and remember what photos needed to be taken and with whom. He insisted we were done multiple times and I had to remind him we needed bridesmaid photos, parent photos, etc. He then told me he hadn't eaten yet and had Chick-fil-A on the way and he was hoping we would be done with photos shortly. I understand being hungry but to tell a bride that on their wedding day when you were an hour late, have zero organization, and had only been working for 3 hrs is very unprofessional.
Quality: There were some photos that were missed. The ring bearer/flower girl photos are absent and Overall just missing some key important photos. Matt stressed how much experienced he had posing brides but overall I felt like I wasn't given much instruction and I was disappointed in a lot of the photos we received. Don't get me wrong there are a few amazing photos and I was happy with some of them.
Receiving our photos: For both our engagement shoot & our wedding receiving our photos was a nightmare. It took an extremely long time and a lot of me checking in. Matt had some personal things going on which I totally understand; however, there was no communication. He would tell us that they would be done by a certain date (multiple times) and that date would come and go. If he had checked in and kept us in the loop I would have been more understanding. In our contract it states when we would get the photos and we received them well after with a lot of asking on my part.
Overall: This is the only vendor we had for our wedding that I regret hiring. We stressed the importance of things that we really wanted and felt that it was not respected or heard. We wanted as many photos as possible to be taken at the hotel but with Matt being an hour late this was not possible. We really wanted to go to our cocktail hour (which was communicated) and we were unable to go. It really makes me sad to write this review as hiring this company was one of the things I was most excited about for our wedding.
Mike and Matt were incredible! The quality of their pictures is top notch and they were able to get some amazing shots, even though it was pouring rain our entire wedding day. We especially loved that they turned around over 500 pictures to us only 2 weeks after our wedding!
They both were remarkably inconspicuous during the reception but managed to capture a lot of really amazing candid moments and action shots. I was especially impressed with their lighting on the dark dance floor - the pictures showed everyone clearly without making it look like it was lit up by a bright flash. The "Moon" lighting is really cool and resulted in some really beautiful pictures of the rain at night. I also really appreciated that they didn't take too much time on the posed pictures, allowing us to enjoy the maximum time with our guests but also still capturing every picture we wanted.
One small comment we did have was that prior to the wedding, the communication was a bit lacking. We had received an email confirming that they would call within 2 weeks of the wedding date, but still hadn't heard from them about 1 week before. It took about 2 days to get a hold of Mike, during which I stressed out way more than I should have. I imagine the lapse in communication was likely due to the transition from Mike Moon Studios to Ember Studios, and once we did get a hold of Mike he was able to assure us immediately that all was set, so no harm done at all.
Overall, Mike and Matt definitely earned their five stars. They were really fun to have around and produced excellent pictures in a very short amount of time. We would highly recommend them!
I cannot say enough about Ember Studios, and neither could our wedding guests!! They caught all the best moments and their work with lighting was phenomenal. Our guests couldn't stop complimenting them at our after party after the wedding. They were wonderful and easy to work with, and captured our complete joy on that day. They are the ABSOLUTE best!! We don't have a single complaint. They are professional and their work is flawless. And they got the photos to us so quickly! Thank you, Ember Studios!!! You made our day that much more magical!
ABSOLUTE PERFECTION! Not only do my husband and I feel that way about our wedding photos, but our family and friends do as well. We STILL are receiving compliments on our pictures and how incredibly gorgeous they are. Getting a package deal of Mike and Matt makes you feel so confident in your choice. Both men work together to come up with poses and locations and ideas so that you don't have to worry about showing them your pinterest board (HUGE PLUS!- no one wants to do the same thing everyone else is doing!) You get unique shots from every angle possible. Mike would lay on the wet ground to get the perfect angle. You will not regret booking them! You have NOTHING to worry about which is HUGE on the big day! I am very Type A and like to be in control and I felt very comfortable letting these two take the wheel on what I consider to the the most important part of the day besides the vows and family/friend time. You will not be disappointed in the direction and creativity of this team! I would use them over and over and over and over again!
Mike Moon is amazing. We looked everywhere for him after he left Mike Moon Studio and were so happy to find him at Ember!
He showed up early and looked for the perfect locations to shoot during the day. As usual in his work, the lighting in my photos is amazing, even though it rained on my wedding day.
He was so enthusiastic, driven and a joy to be around. I'm so happy we used Ember for our wedding photography. But don't take my word for it, just look through their portfolio. It's to die for!
Book them now while they're so affordable! :)
Matt Trivet at Ember studios is the photographer you NEED at your wedding!!! He was so warm and friendly- making the process of posing so comfortable for my husband and I. Great communicator and super easy to work with. And the best part? THE PHOTOS ARE AMAZING. Breath taking, absolutely gorgeous photos. My husband and I now have memories that will last a lifetime.
It was a pleasure having Matt as our photographer and believe the we made the BEST decision in booking him.
My wife and I had the pleasure of enjoying the most amazing setting for our wedding photos, Kauai.
Matt Trivett, was able to capture this amazing backdrop while focusing on making wedding photos that will be enjoyed and talked about for a lifetime. Shop others first, view photos of other agencies and then look at the product provided with these guys, it speaks for it self. Your getting the best, peried.
Super friendly and easy to work with. Great at communicating and directing on how and what needs happen to make each photo and masterpiece.
Weddings are something that have been dreamed about as a child from both the groome and especially the bride. They are something to be remembered. Once the moment is over, having the right photographer makes all the difference. Make the right decision.
Choose these guys. You won’t be disappointed.
These guys were phenomenal. They were on time and started working right away, making sure to get pictures of everything I wanted them to. But they actually didn't even need much direction. They knew exactly what shots they wanted, and they got them quickly and efficiently. I've never worked with anyone more talented than these guys. They were also friendly, funny, and complimented me when I did a good pose. I wish I could get married all over again so I can work with them even more!! I would definitely suggest hiring them because you will get what you pay for and more. Thanks, Mike and Matt!!!! I will never forget this day and a lot is because of you two.
Mike and Matt were fantastic. They were so energetic and enthusiastic throughout the whole process. They were very communicative and did a great job of guiding the wedding party to make sure that we had all of the pictures that we wanted. We were expecting great quality photos and their final product exceeded all of our expectations. We would absolutely recommend Ember Studios to our friends.
We are thrilled with our engagement pictures!!! Mike and Matt are such a pleasure to work with. They captured our personalities and love for each other. The lighting they used was absolutely stunning. Thank you Mike and Matt for making our engagement pictures so magical. We can not wait for y'all to capture our wedding day.
Mike and Matt were exceptionally qualified photographers for our daughter's wedding in October. Their ability to capture emotional moments of the groom seeing bride at start of ceremony, the reading of handwritten vows, and exciting reception shots were impeccable. Their friendliness, working the crowd, and overall connection with the wedding party was fantastic. Highly recommend Ember Studios!!!
Mike and Matt were fantastic! Our photos turned out so wonderful that family and friends said that they belonged in a magazine! We could not have asked for better photographers for the most special day of our lives!
We had our wedding in Commerce, Georgia and Matt and Mike were wonderful! Well worth every penny spent and then some! They were very professional, but also made us feel very comfortable around the camera. Our pictures are phenomenal and they were so easy to work with! They captured our wedding perfectly and made it feel like a fairytale! I would recommend them time and time again!
I was married December 1st in 2017 and Matt was our photographer. I cannot say enough about his services. My goal was to not have too many posed photos and more natural looking ones and he achieved that amazingly. He was super laid back with some anxious bridesmaids, mothers and myself! Since my husband and I came from Europe from our wedding, we also had Matt come along to our rehearsal dinner and he captured the evening perfectly of friends and family meeting from afar. We are not a great couple on cameras and matt made us look so wonderful! I never expected to feel so much emotion while looking at these photos. I would hire Matt over and over again. he was outstanding and so reasonably priced for his quality of photos! I couldn't have asked for anything better.
Matt did an amazing job at our wedding and engagement shoot! He was adventurous and up for doing all sorts of interesting shots (swinging, wading in a river, photo-bombed by Acro Yoga, etc). He was very easy to get along with, and generally a great personality to be working with on your wedding day and before.
While other photographers were strict on timing and the exact hours, Matt was flexible and knew what it took to get good shots. He came early on our wedding day to check out the location and find great backgrounds to get pictures. We ended up slightly adjusting the time of our ceremony to account for weather, and Matt had no problem making it all work.
He was also very speedy in getting our pictures back to us, so would 10/10 recommend!
Matt is such a cool guy to have shoot your wedding. I was very pleased to receive our photos and remember the day just like it was happening again. They are all so awesome.
My husband and I got married at the Pavilion at Lake Rabun on September 16th and Matt was able to capture such beautiful memories! He is very personable and has such an awesome eye for what will make a picture really great. I would highly recommend Matt to other brides for their big day! All of our pictures look absolutely amazing!
Matt Trivett was absolutely INCREDIBLE from start to finish! Every request I had he was able to do with ease and knew how to make me feel comfortable in front of the camera. The quality of his photography is SO impressive I would recommend him to anyone and everyone I know. I was also extremely impressed he was able to text me speak peek photos he had taken throughout the night so I didn't have to wait until they were officially ready. Don''t hesitate on choosing Matt for your event!! We are truly blessed he was our photographer on our special day! Thank you so much Matt!
Matt was incredible!! He was so patient and went out his way for us!! He made us feel comfortable and we were laughing the whole time. I highly recommend him!
We just can't say enough about Matt. Our photos turned out to be GORGEOUS!! Matt was everything we could have ever hoped for in a photographer. So professions, so kind. BOOK HIM NOW!!
Matt and the additional photographer Chris was amazing. He gave me the whole day with no extra costs so I didn't feel any time restriction at any point on my wedding day. That goes a long way because a lot of vendors will nickel and dime you for each additional hour or so. I was also able to see a few unedited immediately on our phones, and they were amazing. Highly recommend Matt and his assistants. You won't be disappointed!
Matt was an absolute pleasure to work with. He shot our engagement as well as our wedding, and knocked it out of the park both times. He was responsive, helpful, clear, and easy to work with during the planning stages, and was creative, diligent, and on the ball during our events. Matt confidently helped us organize family for after-wedding pictures (no easy feat with 40+ people in some shots) and was in all the right places to get great shots the entire day. And lastly, the quality of his work was excellent - Matt definitely has an eye for perspective and emotion! We have loved going back through all the shots to find our favorites, but it has taken a looooooong time because there are so many great photos. Kudos to you Matt; thanks for being a huge part of our wedding!
We just had an engagement shoot with a Matt and he was so great to work with and very professional. We shot in Piedmont park and he took us to some beautiful spots and we love all of our photos. So natural and really showed who we are as a couple! Just booked for our wedding and we are looking forward to it!
Matt is one of the kindest, most gentle people I've ever met! His ability to work with people, make them feel comfortable behind a camera, and draw out authentic emotion is remarkable. His artistic eye and talent make him incredible at what he does, but even beyond that, he is a true joy to be around.
Matt was wonderful. Easy to work with, and our images turned out to far exceed our expectations. His energy was very positive, and helped us relax on a day that can feel stressful. Couldn't give s high enough recommendation if him or his work!
