You can see and feel the passion in the photography work done by Matias Ezcurra. We had our wedding at the Olowalu Plantation House in Maui and wanted him to capture the beauty of this historic venue and the genuine moments during our wedding day. He did that and so much more. He has an excellent eye for capturing stunning photographs, which we trusted completely, and were blown away by the results.
He has an amazing vision for his work and is clearly inspired by his surroundings and his clients. It was an absolute blast to have him as our photographer and we would recommend him over and over again to any of our friends and family. We trusted him to capture our wedding day, and he did it perfectly. We went with offering two for 6 hours of coverage and an additional photographer. We just received our full wedding gallery and can’t stop looking at our wedding gallery repeatedly because every shot is just gorgeous.
Matias seriously has all the fuego magic. Not only is he an extremely talented photographer, he has the most amazing ability to make you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. He is without a doubt, one of the best decisions we made for our wedding in Maui.
From the beginning, his enthusiasm, passion, and energy brought out the best versions of our entire wedding party, and you can see it emulated in all our photos. We all had so much fun and he captured all of the best moments. Our friends and family are still talking about Matias and how he was seemingly everywhere all at once. We have stunning photos to remind us of Maui and the celebration of our love, and we have epic photos of the party after that will remind us of all the fun we had with our friends and family.
Our wedding photos are so special to me and my husband and we are so grateful to Matias for his excellence and skill. There are not enough words for how much we enthusiastically recommend Matias for your special day.
TRULY the best photographer in Hawaii!! I'd say you search is over because he is by far the greatest. My husband and I originally booked him for our 2020 wedding, even though we didn't have him shoot our wedding photos due to Covid, we changed it to a trash the dress shoot and it was AMAZING. I waited 2 years for this photo shoot and he did not disappoint! Weeks before our session he sent the nicest Hawaiian care package and it was such a first class touch. He's great with giving direction and makes you feel like a million bucks. We were all cracking up during the session! It was a blast, it even poured down rain on us but we all embraced it and got some EPIC shots. I wish I could upload some so you can see! Oh and did I mention he's been in Vogue?! Very thankful he did right by us through all the covid craziness! I would definitely book him again next time we're over there :) Thanks Matias!!
Obsessing over Matias’s amazing portfolio leading up to our wedding was definitely one of our favorite activities. It was an added bonus when he shot other weddings at our wedding venue! Looking at Matias’s portfolio we knew without a doubt we would be in love with our wedding photos. Matias is amazing to work with, he provides amazing direction as well as a fun lighthearted approach. We truly appreciated this, it helped ease some of our pre-ceremony jitters and helped us achieve beautiful photos. We went into our wedding knowing we would love our photos, but it was even more amazing to meet Matias and love our photographer as well. Now we are obsessing over our own wedding photos and could not be more thankful or happy to have Matias part of our wedding memories!
Getting married in Hawaii? Great, you only have ONE option for a photographer, and it is Matias. Stop searching now, you've found the best photographer there is!
We hired Matias for our wedding day and saying he went above and beyond is an understatement. He not only captured incredible photos, he made our day fun and special. Here's just a few of the reasons why he is so incredible:
1. He simultaneously was calm and energetic. He never made anyone feel stressed, but also brought a ton of joy to the day, making everyone laugh and have fun. He was able to put everyone at ease, which comes through in all of his photos
2. He has the best eye for detail. I knew I was going to be particular about getting my train photographed just right, and each time he knew exactly how to set up the shot, making sure every little detail was noticed and fixing it before shooting.
3. Did I mention how fun he was?? He truly was an amazing addition to our day and was a pleasure to work with, while also being incredibly professional and never getting in the way.
4. He wanted to make sure the day felt as special as possible and did everything he could to make sure of that. He even would step in when something was needed.
I cannot recommend him enough, he truly is a superstar!!!
Matias captured our wedding perfectly. I researched photographers in Maui for weeks and I couldn’t be happier I choose Matias. The photos are romantic and magical. He blew us away. We love every photo and he captured every moment of our special day. If you’re contemplating, just book him now. Truly - worth it! THANK YOU! You are a true professional and a master at what you do!
Working with Matias for our wedding was a dream -- not only is his work amazing, he is such a fun, kind, and caring person. He makes you feel great when he's working with you and you can tell how thoughtful he is in his craft which is evident in every photo. I was blown away by our photos and received them very quickly (around ~5-6 weeks after our wedding) and had such a great time reliving this day. We got a sneak peak the very next day so we could post on social media (he really gets us :)). The rest of the reviews I've read perfectly sum up what it's like to work with Matias. Someone who is warm, friendly, professional, fun, I could go on.
We are so thankful and happy we chose NV Maui Media and couldn't recommend Matias more. You will be working with someone who cares deeply about his work, making you feel comfortable, and giving lots of positive affirmation throughout the entire process. Thank you, Matias!!
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.
Words cannot describe how amazing working with Matias was. If you follow any of his social media, you know how fun and passionate of a person and photographer he is. He is as genuine of a person you will meet, and his work reflects his passion and skill.
From the moment he began taking photos, the first thing that comes to mind is how natural and comfortable he made us, and everyone involved feel. We were both really nervous on our wedding day and he picked up on that so quickly and put us in situations to feel more comfortable. He kept us laughing the entire time, which made for great candid shots. He was also so thoughtful to include all of the elements that we found important and let him know beforehand into our album.
Besides his wonderful personality, our wedding pictures are the most beautiful works of art. He obsesses about lighting and capturing the correct shot, but somehow does it all so naturally. There were many times throughout the wedding that I completely even forgot he was there but he was capturing the most amazing images of us. We have gotten SO many complements on our wedding photos, and people have said they belong in a magazine. To make it even better, we had a sneak peek of our photos on his website within a day of our wedding, and our entire album was ready so much quicker than we could have even expected.
Matias was our dream photographer, and we were so fortunate to be able to work with him for our wedding. We plan to return to Maui in the future to do a water session because we enjoyed working with him that much.
I could not recommend working with Matias more.
I can't say enough great things about Matias. First of all I live in Texas and planned my whole wedding from home. Not once did I meet in person with a vendor or go to Hawaii to make plans. Choosing vendors was hard because I relied heavily through email communication, right away I knew Matias was the photographer for us. I saw his work through the Knot and messaged him and he got back with me right away and I was able to secure him very easily. The photographs of our wedding were the most important part for us because it was a destination wedding and many couldn't attend these were needed to show to family and friends that weren't there. Also to look back at these and remember the most important day of our life. Matias was prompt on our wedding day and so excited to shoot our wedding it made me so happy! The first time meeting him I felt like I had known him already, he was so friendly and put me right at ease. Right away he starting taking pictures and he didn't miss anything. He has amazing energy, a constant smile and such a creative outlook to capture the perfect shots. The way he floated through out the day taking pictures seamed effortless for him, he knew exactly what he wanted and the results were gorgeous! We knew he got some amazing photos and couldn't wait to see them, but were shocked when he sent us a "sneak peak" the very next day! Everyone we showed the photos to were amazed and I know no one else could have given us this quality. We didn't have to wait much longer for the rest of the photos either. I am so grateful for the Knot to have let me seen Matias and his work, and for Matias accepting to shoot our wedding. I will have these photos forever and the memories of the most amazing day thanks to him. If you are looking for a photographer please don't pass him up, you won't regret it. Matias is one of a kind, pleasant, professional and so easy to work with.
Matias was wonderful! He was so easy to communicate with and made me feel comfortable right away. I really love his photography style, it's what originally drew me to him. He made everything so smooth. I wanted him to use his creativity to capture our wedding, instead of a set list of poses. He did a remarkable job! Photography is truly his passion and it shows in the results. The photos perfectly capture our love and also our playful sides. It's a wonderful blend. My husband and I are thrilled with our wedding photos and will cherish them always. If you are looking for a photographer who is a family man who pours his passion into his work, Matias is the best choice! We highly recommend him and will be forever grateful to have found him.
I am on cloud nine with how my pictures turned out for my wedding! I am so AMAZED by Matias and his incredible talent and energy. He made us feel so comfortable and was great at directing us so he could work his magic. He truly exceeded my expectations. Each picture is absolutely stunning, but it also makes you feel the emotion of that moment in time. I am completely blown away, I cannot wait to go back and have him take more snapshots of our lives! From the bottom of my heart, thank you NV Maui Media for beautifully capturing a special moment in time. Mahalo
Matias was fabulous to work with from our initial inquiry throughout the entire booking and planning process! Contracts, payment, and communication were all clearly organized with HoneyBook. Due to bad weather we had to move up our shoot which he was more than gracious enough to accommodate so we could get the sunset shots we wanted. He really went out of his way to make sure my husband and I were comfortable and ourselves, we really had a great evening shooting together- not to mention our pictures are SIMPLY BEYOND! If you're looking for a photographer for your wedding, anniversary or a land + sea session like us, I'm highly recommend working with him.
Matias is AMAZING! He is a very talented photographer with unique styles and a fun personality. We have had a few photo shoots with him now and he gets our highest recommendation!
I first booked a photo shoot with him 2 years ago thanks to a recommendation from a friend. I was looking for someone to capture my proposal to my now wife and he was the perfect photographer for the job. From the initial conversation, planning, offering suggestions, helping arrange the surprise and through the photo shoot Matias was fantastic! He was so helpful and supportive going above and beyond to make the proposal work out without a snag. It was a tall order arranging and meeting to hike through the bamboo forest and up waterfalls while pretending to be a complete stranger and hiding in the bushes out of sight secretly capturing the proposal, but Matias absolutely nailed it. She had no idea he was there and he got all the shots that I hoped for. He got some great images in the water session after as well. He was very easy to work with, gave great direction and was so fun. We had such a good time with him laughing and cracking jokes. Having him capture those moments will be treasured for a lifetime and it helped make a great story too!
The second session we booked was on the following trip to Maui a year later. We wanted to do another photo shoot with him, but on the beach and in the ocean this time with a sexier theme to the engagement shoot. We met him at a quiet secluded beach and got right into shooting some fun beach & water shots. We had another amazing time with him and got so many great pictures with a completely different theme and look. Working with Matias is EASY. He makes you feel comfortable, confident and relaxed while making it fun. We had a smile on our face the whole time again.
The 3rd session we wanted to get our family together for a photo shoot for some nice family photos on the beach for the first time in decades of Maui family vacations. The family loved working with Matias too with the same comments of how fun, comfortable, easy and efficient he was getting all the pictures we wanted as a family and as couples. The photos turned out beautifully and honestly the best all of us have ever looked. The whole family commented on how he was able to capture how truly happy everyone was in the photos. Not only was it great to have these nice family photos for all of us, but we didn't realize really how special these photos are until this year. My grandparents had been vacationing on Maui bringing the family with them for many, many years to enjoy tons of amazing, fun memories together. Well, this year my Gramps passed away and we now realize that these beautiful family photos captured the last family trip to Maui with our Gramps. He looked so good with such a big smile along with the rest of us. This is an extremely cherished moment for our family and especially my Gramie, his wife of 65 years. She has one of the picture of all of us hanging in her hallway so she can see it as she walks by it everyday. I write this with a heavy heart from the loss, but so very thankful of Matias for capturing these priceless photos of my family. Don't miss an opportunity to work with Matias to capture special memories with your beautiful partner and family too.
Thank you, Matias. My family and I are forever grateful for your incredible work. I am so thankful of you capturing so many important moments in my life. Your work is greatly appreciated.
Flawless job by an amazing person to not only doucument your wedding but a great person to be around. Matias’ energy is contagious yet he is beyond professional. I truly appreciated his knowledge of wedding timelines from his past experiences and that he was very responsive to messages and punctual on the wedding day.
I had been following NV Maui Media’s work via Instagram for awhile because I was so fasinated by Matia’s work. After getting engaged, my fiancé suggested Matias which I didn’t realize he knew him! I felt honored that we would get to work with him.
The photos from the wedding had us absolutely floored. Even people that couldn’t go to our wedding told me how they felt like they were there once seeing them and that those that were there, felt like they could relive it through his work. The quality and resolution is top notch. Matias’ sense of creativity and vision in what would look spectacular as backdrops and poses (or candids) were great and well directed.
Something I appreciated the most is that he took time to make me a full dinner plate (plus carrying 2 cameras while walking up and down on our reception boat) which is definitely not in the job description. A true servant’s heart.
Needless to say, I highly recommend NV Maui Media. Wouldn’t have had the best day of my life documented by anyone else. My husband and I are so grateful for Matias and wishing his family and company all the best blessings!
I don’t even know where to begin... From the minute we made contact I felt like I was working with a friend. Matias, your work is incredible and you honestly made myself and Ben feel so comfortable. We were able to just be ourselves and enjoy the day and you guys were there to capture it all. Despite being a new dad, you made sure you made contact with us and were always so quick to reply to any emails or questions that we had. The photos you gave us are are absolutely stunning and I couldn’t imagine anyone else capturing our special day. It says a lot that both Ben and I look forward to coming back to Maui and catching back up with you again as friends and clients. People always ask if planning a wedding in Hawaii from Australia is stressful.... working with professionals like yourself made the whole process so stress free and easy. Thank you so much for everything. We couldn’t recommend using N V Maui media enough. Absolute quality x thank you
Where to begin?! There are not enough characters allowed in this review to even begin to explain how amazing Matias was for our wedding day! He left his beautiful island of Maui and flew all the way to Rhode Island for our wedding. From the initial contact all the way up until our last dance, he was there for every moment, question, concern, vision, etc. He was so responsive, gave great advice, and even helped put together a timeline to maximize our time to not only get the best lighting for pictures, but to enjoy the party! Matias is engaging, professional, extremely talented at what he does, hilarious, and makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera (which isn’t easy for either myself or my husband). Without hesitation I would recommend Matias as your photographer and I guarantee you will be booking the best! And at the end of it all, not only will you end up with amazing, one of a kind photos that you will treasure for the rest of your lives, but you’ll most likely have a gained a lifelong friend :) Thank you Matias for all you’ve done to make our wedding day so memorable! -Amy and Kevin
Words can't express how grateful we were to have Matias capture our wedding day! Beyond being an amazing photographer, his attention to us was unbelievable. From the very beginning he felt like more than just another vendor. He truly became a friend. It was very important for me to have a personable photographer so I could feel more comfortable in front of the camera. I would have Matias photograph our wedding again and again. We can't wait to use him again for other big life events!
Matias is the best photographer and captures the most magical moments! He photographed my sister-in-law’s wedding as well as my engagement and wedding. He made us feel so comfortable in every setting, especially when we were doing the couple shoots, which resulted in stunning photos that are so natural and so “us”. Matias has an amazing eye for color and lighting. Not only that, but he also succeeded in capturing the excitement, love, joy and happiness of the best day of our lives! I would highly recommend Matias and NV Maui Media to everyone! I only hope that there is another milestone in the future when he can take photos for us! :)
Matias was a great wedding photographer! He was easy to communicate with, organized, professional and returned our photos in a timely manner. My husband and I appreciated his attention to detail. He captured every aspect of our wedding so when we looked back at the photos it was almost as if we were at our ceremony and venue all over again. I would recommend Matias to anyone wanting amazing wedding pictures! He is so easy to work with which is exactly what we wanted on such a big day!
Awesome job! Matias was so great, he made me and my husband feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and handled my large family with patience and positivity! We absolutely love the photos from our wedding day and will cherish them forever!
