Matias blew us away. If you’re contemplating, just book him now. Truly - this was the best decision of our wedding planning. We got lucky he was open on our weekend, and were honestly honored to have his talent and eye working with us.
His A)... professionalism from start to finish, B) warm personality and endearing humor, and C) off-the-charts photography eye, style and talent, all mix beautifully together to shape the experience into one that for us, was immensely better than we could have even imagined.
From the moment we met him in person, we felt we had been friends for years, and I think others who have been lucky enough to work with him before all say the same thing. Matias is of the nicest, thoughtful, and most caring people we‘ve ever spent time with. Photography aside, he is just one of those people that is good to be around.
Words cannot properly describe how talented of a photographer and a ‘good energy/vibe creator’ he is. He consistently demonstrated this uncanny, natural ability for making everyone around him happy and at ease in somewhat stressful moments, and in front of a camera, even as we were people who weren’t used to being photographed. Almost every single one of our guests noticed that too, and said something positive about him afterwards. We can’t tell you how many times someone came up to us with a surprisingly-impressed expression saying things along the lines of, “Wow. Your photographer is REALLY good, and so nice.”
He was also always open to do ANYTHING we wanted in a photo, encouraged our ideas, and allowed us to be even more comfortable ale with ourselves -the whole time- while enhancing our our personal styles and personalities.
And above all, he really brought the ‘fire’ to each shot through his ability to translate chemistry between my husband and I into absolutely beautiful shots, which helped us to continuously stay grounded and centered by taking us back to the reason why we were there in the first place: our love for each other. (which we learned was honestly really easy to lose sight of throughout all the wedding weekend chaos).
After seeing the final product (in super-human speed turnaround time) we can with full confidence say he has this insane talent for visual arrangement and lighting that is truly magical (might sound corny but we mean it). He can take any angle or situation and make it even more beautiful, always bringing out the love in every photo, and capturing the BEST moments and translating them into art, while staying true to you and your partner’s personalities and style.
We whole heartedly believe he is the top 1% of the 1% in the industry and in the wedding photography world. We would go above and beyond to recommend him, more than any of our other vendors (who were ALL so amazing too). This guy just blew our socks off, and we are are still just so beyond grateful. Whether your wedding is in Maui or somewhere else on the globe, this guy is going to add a magical touch that you just can’t replicate or place a dollar value on. & We feel everyone else who reflects on their experience with him feel the same way.
He is a rare gem; a truly amazing blend of artist, professional, and human.
