Mateo & Company

I just had a large New Orleans wedding. From the time we selected Matt and his team, he exceeded our expectations. As a New Orleans bride, I was always concerned about weather. The day of my bridals, it hailed just an hour before my shoot. Matt kept me focused the entire session. Beyond that, he stayed over made sure I got photos outside once the weather cleared. His assistant, Cody was also AMAZING. Matt and his team are organized, professional, and so talented! He will certainly make all your photos dreams come true!

Matt and his team were wonderful. He reached out to us, and we immediately fell in love with his style. We sat with him and Cody after we booked and went over what we wanted and he got a feel for who were were individually and as a couple. He was very good about making sure he captured the moments we wanted and he has an excellent eye for what is going to look good. We didn't do bridals, but he made sure to get bridal style shots before the wedding at our venue. Every time there was a moment we felt would make a great picture, we would look up and he was there. In addition to Matt, his entire team was so amazing. Cody made sure every detail for every shot was on point and that all the photos we wanted were captured. We HIGHLY recommend them!

If you are looking for a wedding photographer look no further! Matt Diaz and his partner Cody were truly a pleasure to work with. Not only did they provide us with beautiful engagement and wedding photos, they’re insight into the wedding planning process and execution was invaluable. They’re calm, cool, and collective demeanor on our wedding day assisted us in navigating a major crisis when my partner left his tuxedo in New York. Simply the best!

Matt and his team were everything we wanted and everything we didn't know we needed. It started with our consultation, our personalities just matched so well; it even turned out we knew some of the same people. Working with them during the engagement photos confirmed that we made the right decision. They were so creative, open to suggestions, and, most of all, FUN. To make things even better, they were already really good friends with our day-of coordinator Spanish Oak Events. When it came to planning and creating a timeline, things were so smooth and seamless; it seemed the closer we got to the date, the less nervous we were. The wedding day itself was nothing less than amazing. Taking photos was so fun, and things just moved effortlessly to the point where we were running ahead of schedule. Matt and his team was a well oil machine. The results of the photos instantly brought us back to the wedding. Showing friends and family have been a treat because they are constantly making comments as if we were movie stars. The photos came out so good. We heard a bunch of horror stories about couples not being satisfied with their wedding photos, and they regretted it, we won't have those stories. These are moments frozen in time that are meant to be treasured forever, Mateo & Company are apart of us forever. Thank you.

Both my wife and I were absolutely enamored with Matt and his amazing talent. He took care of us from start to finish. The photos were stunning but his personality blew us away. He was so kind and treated us like family. We can’t compliment his talent and professionalism enough. He gave us the best gift of photos we will have for a lifetime. We would choose him over and over again !

Best photographer ever ! If I could have a wedding to my wife every year he would be the photographer every time. He was very responsive to calls, texts and emails! Showed up early and helped calm our nerves ! He really just went above and beyond to not only capture timeless and classic photos of our day but to make sure everything was special and unique to us. He took the time to listen and followed through on every last detail !

Matt and Cody were unbelievable photographers for our wedding day! They traveled all the way to South Carolina after we had seen their work for another of our friend's wedding. They made us feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. For two awkward people, this was perfect! He took beautiful photographs and really captured the essence of our wedding. We loved them and wish they could photograph us every day!

Let’s just start by saying this: you won’t find a better wedding photographer than Mateo & Co. Fun, professional, kind, smart, organized, flexible, talented, easy going...what else can you ask for on your big day? We are so happy with our decision to work with Matt and his team, and would highly recommend working with them. We had such a great connection with them and feel like we just made some great new friends. Thanks again Matt, much love to you and the team!

Matt and his team is amazing!! My husband and I are both a little awkward when it comes to photos and we really were looking for a photographer that would be able to capture candid moments as well as good poses photos as well and Matt made sure that happened! Matt and Cody make you feel comfortable make sure they are capturing your best angle. Cody’s attention to detail along with Matt’s ability to capture us somehow so perfectly make for the best dynamic photographers duo! If you’re wanting a photographer who is personable and makes you feel comfortable in a situation for us that can make us feel awkward go to Matt!

Matt Diaz and his entire team at Mateo & Company are truly perfection and one of the best decisions we made during this wedding process. For our engagement photos, they took beautiful photos and suggested smart tips throughout the shoot to make each photo perfect. On the wedding day, they were calm and brought such a positive energy as we took photos getting ready and kept that attitude throughout the whole day. One particular stand out is that Matt suggested we take the bridal shots in a specific section of City Park in New Orleans, and we are so glad he suggested that space because the photos are breathtaking. We got our photos from them and we could not be happier. They are beautiful, romantic and such a perfect balance of posed and candid shots. As a Brooklyn, New York-based LGBT couple, we needed vendors who were accepting, organized and responsive and Matt and his team delivered. We highly recommend Mateo & Company because they are so talented, but also because they are such nice people – so genuine, fun, positive and wonderful. We loved our experience working with them and we’ll recommend them forever.

Matthew and Cody were such a dream to work with. We just got our wedding pictures back and I haven't been able to stop looking at them! They perfectly captured our special day and it's so fun to relive when looking at the photos. I am beyond pleased with how they turned out.

Matt is amazing. Anyone can see that his photos are beautiful, but he was great to work with from the start and was so calmly confident on the day; everything was a breeze. They seriously went above and beyond at every turn. Cody was constantly making sure that my train, ring, and everything else was perfectly in place for every photo AND they walked us through the cake cutting like the pros that they are! Sometimes I wonder what our wedding would have been like had we chosen a different venue or band or changed this timing or that, but I have *never* even considered having had another photographer - we had the best!

Highly recommend!!! From the first phone conversation, I knew I wanted to hire Matt for our wedding. He understood our vision and now we are beyond happy with our photographs. Our entire family loved working with Matt & his team. They have positive and fun energy which is exactly what you need for your wedding day.

Matthew is terrific! Since you spend the day with your photographer, it's especially important that you like the person. That's not a problem with Matthew. He's professional and personable and determined to capture all the special moments of a wedding day. His cheeriness and energy are infectious and even those of us who feel they're not photogenic come out looking great.

Matthew, Cody, and their team are AMAZING. I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the minute we met them to take our engagement photos, we felt instantly at ease and comfortable, like we were hanging out with old friends. They understood exactly the kind of shots we wanted, and captured so many amazing photos. Matthew's photography style and locations are so unique so your pictures feel one of a kind. As to our wedding day, they once again exceeded all expectations. Wedding days are full of so many small details and so many special moments, I thought that it was impossible to capture it all. But they did and then some! Looking through my wedding photos was like reliving the best day of my life. I can honestly say there is not one thing they missed. From getting ready, to first look, to portraits, to the ceremony, and to the reception, they captured everything in such a beautiful way. Matthew and Cody make an amazing team. For portraits, they work together to style the shots and make sure EVERYTHING is perfect. They both contribute their ideas to your photos to make sure they get the perfect shot, so you're getting two amazing photogs instead of one. On top of that, they make your wedding day fun. Your photographer is with you for the whole day, so do yourself a favor and hire people you have fun hanging out with! Matthew and Cody blended right in with our friends and family and kept us laughing and enjoying ourselves. It was a great anecdote to wedding nerves. I will cherish my photos forever and always remember what a great addition these guys were to my wedding day!

Matthew, Cody and team may have been the best part of the whole wedding weekend...well besides the marrying my best friend part. From our engagement pictures to the day of, this team was PHENOMENAL! We had a pretty large and rambunctious wedding party and they rolled with the punches and handled every detail with professionalism and fun. Taking hundreds of pictures in the middle of New Orleans summer heat on your wedding day can be exhausting, but I honestly had the best time because of the team and their ability to capture the fun and love! I felt like every picture they have of us, someone is laughing! Matthew was so attentive during the planning process and took the time to get to know my husband and I, which made me feel so secure in our choice of photographer! And let me say, Cody worked so hard styling the perfect shots and taming my beautiful but difficult cathedral veil in the middle of the french quarter! Y'all never missed a single detail! Once the festivities kicked off, I did not even notice them at the ceremony or reception. They blended right into the party and captured all of the hilarious, candid moments we could hope for. Y'all have not seen the last of Pierre and I! We will be calling on Nola Diaz Photography every chance we get in the future!!

Diaz Nola Photography were the most amazing krewe to capture our wedding experience!!!! From the beginning with our engagement photos they were so accommodating and made us feel relaxed. Always kept us laughing and helped capture the candid moments. They even helped include our wonderful dog, Taco, in the photos. Now that she has passed away, we will always treasure those photos of her with us. For the wedding day, Matthew and Brittani were so awesome capturing the most important moments of the day. The first looks with my dad and my now husband were so heartwarming. They completely understood the vibes we were going for and were so helpful with us and the wedding party. And we love the candid moments of the reception and those sweet dance moves. Will always appreciate the amazing and professional work by Diaz Nola Photography.

Absolutely amazing!!!! Matt and his team captured our magical day and we love the results! If you are looking for a photographer, look no further! They were very professional, yet playful and very talented! I feel like I am not doing them justice in this review. It was wonderful experience and they just captured it all!

Matthew Diaz and team are the best of the best. From the first time we met Matt & Cody we knew we wanted them to photograph the biggest day of our lives. I'll never find enough words to describe how incredible they are. Our engagement photos turned out so beautiful. On our wedding day, they spent so much time with us and we had so much fun taking photos with them. We did a first look and were able to take all of our portraits including wedding party and parents before the ceremony. They picked the best spots and staged some really cool portraits I cannot wait to see. We got compliments all night from everyone who encountered them. Aside from the incredible talent, they are so fun to be around and put us at complete ease our entire day. Our wedding party had such a fun time taking photos with them and it really helped set the tone for the entire night. We had a detailed photo plan and when I threw in some extra things, they didn't hesitate to get whatever we wanted. They truly know how to make a couple's day special and the attention to detail is so appreciated. I didn't get to see everything or everyone at our short wedding, but I am completely confident that they captured what we couldn't and we'll have photos to tell an amazing story to our children one day. PLEASE choose Diaz Nola Photography for your big day. You won't regret it! Matt & Cody, we can't thank you enough for making our day amazing and for capturing such great portraits we're sure to look at with love every day for the rest of our lives. We are beyond impressed and grateful to you both.

Love Matt! He and his team kept us laughing. The pictures are beautiful he responds right away if there is a question and we are thrilled we found him.

I can't say enough about how great Matt and his team were to work with on our big day! From the moment I booked with Matt, he was always super quick and responsive to any questions I had. On my wedding day, we were on somewhat on a time crunch because of my ceremony time starting early. But Matt and his team made everything flow so easily and got every single shot that we wanted! They are so much fun to work with and super laid back, my whole bridal party loved them! I also had my bridal portraits done a few moths prior to the wedding with Matt and they came out so beautiful! Thank you Diaz Nola Photography for being a part of our special day! We can't thank ya'll enough!

Matt took my bridals and my wedding photos. He is truly talented. He will make you feel comfortable in front of the camera; he is willing to try anything to get a picture you want (i wanted one with my veil falling through the air... as you know there is no wind in louisiana 99% of the time but we got it!); and he is professional, courteous and SO much fun! He also doubled as my wedding coordinator helping me get a timeline down for the big day. Matt and his team are the best!! Oh and my pictures are flawless and i have never felt so beautiful in my life. Thank you Matt and Cody!!!!!

Outside of asking my fiancee to marry me, asking Matthew to be our photographer was the second best decision I made in my life! We were planning a destination wedding in New Orleans all the way from Brooklyn and we had to do everything remotely which made it stressful for me and my wife. He put us at ease and was the quintessential professional. He took the time to speak with us about everything and get to know us as a couple. He knew how to execute our vision to perfection, and was willing to think outside the box and get creative during our wedding as well. Our friends and family raved about our pictures and felt that he captured the essence of who we are as a couple and the vibe of our wedding. If you are in need of a wedding photographer, engagement photos, or a photo shoot look no further than Diaz Nola Photography!

Matthew and his team are AMAZING! Not only is he a pleasure and a riot to work with, his attention to detail is unparalled. Every single picture felt like a dream and he captured exactly what I was looking for! All of our friends and family loved the pictures and raved about how great they were complimented us on hiring such a great photographer. He was definitely the best decision we made for our wedding! He created and captured memories that we will cherish for the rest of our life!

Diaz Nola Photography were the most amazing people to work with! My husband and I are both in the military and started planning this wedding from Florida then move to Texas and Matt made everything so simple for us even though we had were miles away. When we started looking for photographers, I got in contact with DNP and I could tell even over the phone Matt was a genuine person and honestly wanted to make our wedding images dreams come true and we was very willing to work with my budget. Getting closer to the wedding he was so helpful in organizing times and locations for photos, down to making a schedule for us which was so helpful day of. On wedding day Matt and his creative associate Cody were so professional and great to work with. They made everything flow so smoothly and never stressed anyone out with time or pictures we need. They had great ideas for photos while making sure to capture what we requested. The whole evening our guest were raving about them and how fun they were! We just received our photos back and we are absolutely in love with them, we truly couldn't be happier! Matt got the images back to us early even in his busy season which was great! If you are looking for a hardworking, personable, fun, creative and just all around amazing photographer to work with then look no farther and book Diaz Nola, you will not regret it!

This space is not big enough to fill with the love we have for Diaz Nola! By fate, these guys happen to be passing by as my then, fiancé proposed and since then it’s been a an absolute joy to work with them. I had a huge and sometimes, rowdy wedding party. They maintained control and professionalism the entire time! They make it a seamless process. I placed all my faith in them and was not dissapointed. I worked with a photographer briefly, in college and Matthew was so good about collaborating with me and bringing my ideas to life. I felt like I was hanging with friends anytime we were together. We did nothing, but laugh! These guys were constantly working to capture every moment. While planning my wedding, I encountered quite a few bumps in the road. However, I never worried about Matthew. He always came through, was organized and had a plan which made me feel secure in my choice of a photographer! I love his creative touch and use of various angles. Cody....oh my goodness, Cody is a girl’s best friend! He notices every detail from hairs out of place, to positioning your body to get that flattering angle, to making sure your train is where it needs to be and so much more. You hear it a million times that when it’s all done, the only thing left from the day are the photos. You can place your faith in these guys that every part your big day will be captured. Also, I want to thank the third/assistant photographer, Eddie. He was such a character! My husband and the groomsmen had blast with him! I will be using Nola Diaz Photgraphy in the future for basically everything, no doubt. We love you guys and can’t thank ya’ll enough! XoXo, The Morrisons

Diaz Nola Photography recently shot my wedding and I could not be happier. Every shot is amazing. My wife and I couldn't have asked for a better experience on our wedding day.

Look no further! Pick Diaz Nola Photography! Matt is an exceptional photographer with the utmost professionalism. He and his team go above and beyond to make sure you have photos that capture the story of your night! From the first conversation I had with Matt, there was an instant comfort in knowing I wasn't just a client and a paycheck but that he truly cared about what I wanted captured on my wedding day and that I was happy with his services. Throughout the experience of our engagement photo session and leading up to our wedding day, Matt made my husband and I feel like more than just clients. He made us feel like family. On our wedding day, Matt and Cody fit right in with our families and friends. We heard so many wonderful comments from our friends and families about how much they enjoyed Matt and Cody as our photographer which just made our experience even better. I could go on and on. I've heard many bad stories from friends of mine about their photography experience so I was careful in choosing photographer and I'm so glad I chose Diaz Nola!

I'm not one to usually write reviews, but I absolutey had to for this. Every single picture came out to be more incredible than we could have ever imagined and Matthew, Cody and Katie were absolutely amazing and so much fun to work with!

Matt and his team did an excellent job. They were a pleasure to work with and made sure to get all the photos that we wanted. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

Matt and the team were awesome people to be with and work with on our special day. He took into account everything we were looking for in capturing the memories of our wedding. I would 100% choose Diaz Nola Photography again. Working with Matt and his team was so fun and laid back and now we have the most amazing wedding pictures to look back on.

Diaz Nola Photography did an excellent job of photographing my daughters wedding! They are so creative and made everyone feel relaxed so the photos came out natural. Matt was a true professional. He made my daughters day extra special. Her formal bridal pictures were beautiful too! I had such a fun day watching them pose her and making her feel beautiful. I can honestly say these photographers were the best I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I will definitely use them again for our next event! Nobody does it better!

Diaz Nola Photography is hands down the best around. He made our wedding more memorable than we could have imagined! The pictures are absolutely flawless. Not only are the photos incredible, but the personality of this photography group is one of a kind. Highly recommend!

Matthew and Cody are, quite simply, the best photographers we ever could have asked for! From the moment we met them for our engagement photos, we knew we had made the right decision. They knew all of the best spots to take the kinds of unique New Orleans photos we told them we were looking for. Plus, we had so much fun with them! On our wedding day, they came totally prepared to document every special moment, and truly went above and beyond what we had even expected. From our first look to our family portraits to the ceremony and candid reception shots, they made sure they captured everything we wanted and more! We will be telling everyone we know to hire them for their wedding! It was the best decision we made. Incredibly talented, very affordable, so kind and fun--what else could you ask for?! Thank you, Matt and Cody, for being the best photographers ever!!!!

Matt & his team were awesome! My fiancé and I had so much of fun shooting our engagement shoot with them! They brought our vision to life, we tackled 3 different locations during the French quarter festival in 2 hours!! PURE AWESOMENESS

We loved Matthew and his team! They were amazing! Matt came to visit me and the venue a few months before the wedding and was available by phone and email for all of our questions. The day of he found really fun shots and made everyone feel great. We couldn't be more happy with his work! Thanks, Matt!

Zach and I absolutely love our engagement photos!! We had so much fun going through them last night. We can't wait to finish our house so we can put some of our pictures up. You guys made this such a great experience and we can't thank y'all enough! Can't wait till our wedding!!

The Diaz Nola Photography team is amazing! They are lighthearted and fun, yet very professional. They are detail oriented and work well with the client to ensure they capture exactly what you are looking for! I used Diaz Nola photography for pictures with my son, bridals, and my wedding. So far, I am highly pleased and will continue to use them to capture future memories!

Matthew and his team were wonderful! I really enjoyed working with them, it felt like hanging out with my friends. They helped make my wedding the enjoyable experience that it was. The pictures turned out amazing and I'm really happy with everything. Thanks Diaz Nola Photography!

Matt and team are fabulous! They have done all our wedding photography. Our photos are amazing and Matt makes you feel completely at ease, even if you're awkward in front of the camera like me! Matt has been there to capture the beginning of my husband and I's relationship and we can't wait to have him capture our future life events!

Matthew was awesome!! My husband and I are from out-of-state so we were trying to find a good photographer that had quality work and would be easy to work with - Matthew fit that perfectly! He was always available to chat after hours and on the weekend, and his pictures truly came out amazing! He had good ideas about some creative shots and even helped me with the itinerary for the reception! Ha! He was super friendly and I would honestly recommend him to anyone getting married in NOLA!! Thanks again for everything Matthew!!

Absolutely the BEST photographer EVER!!! We had a magical wedding day/night and cannot express enough at how not only did we have unique personal photos, but we also had a well orchestrated itinerary that flowed so smoothly and quickly that we never felt like we were stressed out and there wasn't a picture that was missed!! Our photographer had the ability to capture every special moment throughout our entire day and he was so great we rarely even felt like a photographer was present!! Many of our guests also commented at how awesome our photographer was and how they would hire him for their special events. I'm confident that there isn't a better photographer to hire for your wedding than Matthew Diaz!!

Matt is an awesome photographer! He gave us everything we wanted in our engagement pictures. They came out great and we could not have asked for more. He's a class act and a real pleasure to work with. We are looking forward to him photographing our big day!

My engagement photos were absolutely amazing! Matt is an incredible person to work with and made the session so much fun. My fiancée and I had a blast! I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out.

Trying to plan a destination wedding can be difficult especially if you don’t have reliable vendors set up. I researched photographers online trying to find one within my budget and still do quality work, with no luck. Then, my sister in law recommended Matthew at Diaz Nola. After reviewing his website and a phone conversation, I knew I made the right decision! His attention to detail and professional demeanor put me at ease the months leading up to my wedding. He made my wedding day so much FUN! He and his team fulfilled all my wants and needs while shooting. (and I had a long list haha!) They are very knowledgeable, creative and overall just really good at what they do! I couldn’t be happier with the way all of my photos turned out. I can’t wait to get back to New Orleans and schedule a “just because” shoot with Diaz Nola! Thanks again!

Everyone that knows me knows that I hate taking pictures, but I knew for my wedding day that we would want to have pictures done. I'm so glad that we were able to work with Matthew. He actually made the whole experience fun, but he was also professional and made sure to get all of the shots that my wife and I wanted. I actually look forward to the next time we need pictures done so that we can book Matthew again.

I'm so glad that I had Matthew to work with. He was professional and made sure that I got every shot that I wanted on my wedding day but he was also a blast to work with. He made the experience fun even though it was crazy hot outside. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer for my big day.

Matt and his assistants were absolutely amazing! As a bride putting together a destination wedding, they made everything so easy and enjoyable. He understood the style I wanted for the photos and the kind of people we were. Despite the weather and the holiday, they were on time and ready to go. The people of Diaz photographer had beautiful vision when it came to poses and locations, but also worked with us when we wanted specific things. They were adaptable to situations, offering suggestions based on their expertise that was always on point. During the whole ceremony and reception, they were there to capture every moment but I never once felt like they were obtrusive. Everyone made me, my husband, the bridal party, and our families feel totally at ease in front of the camera. Having now seen the warm, elegant, and beautiful pictures produced, I cannot recommend Matt and his staff highly enough. They were professional, helpful, artistic, understanding, and they stayed to make sure that we had absolutely everything we wanted before saying good night. Thank you so much Matt and Brittani!

Matthew did an amazing job on our surprise engagement photos! We had a wonderful experience with him! He helped us so much and captured a very special moment in our life!

From day one I knew he was who I wanted to photograph my wedding day. After consultations after consultations it was His character and personality that caught my attention. I felt more than just a customer. Matthew is professional and great person to be around which made my bridal shoot and wedding a lot smoother. I absolutely love how all my photos came out He does great work for a good price. I love all the images taken by Diaz. Thank you Matthew and crew for helping my husband and I make memories to look back on. I highly recommend Diaz Nola Photography

Matthew did a superb job capturing all my special wedding moments. My pictures are beautiful - clear and very colorful. His work is outstanding and I recommend him to anyone searching for a photographer.

I was beyond stressed about picking a photographer because I was not from New Orleans and we had a tight budget. Everyone whose pictures stood out to me were at least $1,000 over budget; and the people I found I could afford did not share my same creative vision and/or didn't match my personality. Then I found Matthew! TRUST ME you will not find someone more fun to be around on your wedding day and that is an important detail many people overlook! Our pictures are beautiful and there were so many things captured that I completely missed day of, so it was a fun surprise going through my pictures. We had so many options to chose from, and I loved how Matthew welcomed my opinions on edits. If I wanted something cropped, done in a muted filter, even a cup removed then he made it happen - and even better wanted to do those things for me. But equally as important I genuinely had fun with him during both our engagement shoot and wedding day. I was a ball of stress and didn't feel natural in front of the camera, but he was great at making me laugh and getting genuine moments, not just staged wedding pictures. He has stayed in touch even post edits to make sure I'm happy with everything and I 24601% am. I highly recommend him!

Very happy with my choice in photographer. Matthew has an excellent eye and superb editing capibilities that brings out the best in every photo.

I cannot say enough about how wonderful my experience was with Diaz Nola Photography! During our photo shoots, Matt was so entertaining. We laughed and really enjoyed our time in front of the camera. I have admired Matt's work for a while so I knew our pictures would turn out great, and they did! All of the pictures were beautifully done. He caught all of the little moments that we shared, and facial expressions that are so unique to us. I feel like he really captured our relationship through the pictures. I have referred my friends and family to Matt. Also, he will be our family photographer for the future.

If you are a New Orleans area bride you MUST check Diaz Nola Photography out! Matt is such a wonderful photographer that is so easy to work with and responds promptly to any questions. Matt and his team have the creative eye and go above and beyond for their costumers. I could of not asked for a better photographer to capture my engagement, bridals, and wedding day. He provides high quality photos at a great price!
