Matt and Ashley Photography

comfortable in front of the camera during our engagement session and wedding and we love that our photos are fluid and natural instead of awkwardly posed. Ashley puts together a whole wedding day timeline which was a HUGE stress reliever for me because (as a first time bride who has also never been in a wedding) I have no experience with how much time to devote to the different aspects of a wedding day! Matt and Ashley kept everything running smoothly and I never had to look at a clock once on my wedding day. These two are truly genuine, good people who want nothing more than to perfectly capture the best day of your life. We have so many gorgeous photos that it is difficult to choose our favorite!

day! So many of our guests have told us how wonderful they were and we can't stop looking through our pictures. Matt and Ashley kept our whole day going smoothly and basically created our day of timeline. They have such great experience and are kind, but ready to be enforcers to get things done (e.g. all of our family shots). We can't say enough good things about them, you will NOT be disappointed.

like their family instantly. They were always smiling and asking what they could do to help! I would pick them over and over again! They were simply the best!!

tt and Ashley made us feel so comfortable. Living out of state was complicated while planning a wedding, but Matt and Ashley made it super easy for us. We facetimed our first meeting with them and then they worked with us to find a weekend where we would be in town to do our engagement photos...in the dead of winter...during sunrise. And they did all this with a huge smile on their faces. Fast forward to the day of the wedding and they were there to capture every moment we did and didn't see. Ashley was there every step of the way to make sure I was ok and check if I needed anything as I anxiously awaited walking down the aisle. When we received our wedding pictures, we were so happy with how they turned out. They were absolutely beautiful and really captured the emotion of our special day. I would 100% recommend Matt and Ashley to anyone looking for a wedding photographer...you can't go wrong!!

iments from our family and friends saying our wedding album is one of the best they have ever seen! Aside from the quality of the photos, Matt and Ashley played a pivotal role in making sure we stuck to the timeline on our wedding day. With a large wedding party (~25 people), tight timelines and far distances to travel between the ceremony and reception, they made it all happen & for that we are so grateful! They made our day that much more perfect!

ident to see in their photography. We are in LOVE with our wedding pictures, and our wedding would not have been the same without the two of them.

uring and attentive to the vision that we had for our wedding photography. When we first met for our engagement shoot, Matt and Ashley immediately put us at ease and we felt like we had been fast friends. Their style and energy is so laid back and beautiful and they instantly had us laughing and enjoying our time together. They are so supportive, professional, and detail oriented; they were a huge help on our wedding day with keeping us on a timeline and also making sure that we were enjoying the little moments of our day. We felt so relaxed being around them. When Matt and Ashley shared our engagement and wedding pictures with us, we were absolutely blown away. The pictures that they took are so beautiful. They perfectly captured our wedding day and the moments that made it so meaningful. Their eye to detail, overall vision and style, and true passion for what they do is all so perfectly expressed in each photo and leaves us with a wonderful representation of our wedding day. We are so thankful we chose them as our photographers.

perfect! I promise, these are the photographers you want! :)

ention, their pictures are stunning! We were over-the-moon with how our lifelong memories came out. Matt and Ashley tell the story of your special day with their photos, and we would recommend them anyone!

u can't learn first hand online is what friendly, accommodating, professional people they are. I couldn't recommend them more highly. In addition to being superb photographers they helped us with other various aspects of our wedding and looked out for us at every turn before, during, and after the wedding. Both my husband and I have been telling everyone we know in need of a photographer to hire them.

ns smoothly and you can be sure that not a single moment will be missed. Neither my husband nor I like to be photographed so the fact that they were able to make both of us feel comfortable speaks volumes. On top of being wonderful to work with, I am so beyond happy with our wedding photos. They perfectly capture all of the special moments as well as all of the emotions experienced throughout your special day between you and the people you care about most. When everything is all said and done, you are left with a beautifully told story through Matt & Ashley's artwork. I can't recommend them enough!

months out from the wedding and they were truly there every step of the way. They took that extra time to get to know myself and my husband personally, as well as what we were looking for in our photos. These photos allow us to relive all the fun, emotions and beauty of our perfect day every time we look at them. We received SOOO many compliments on our photos and they will be an important keepsake forever. We are so appreciative of Matt and Ashley as people as well as in the work that they do. I highly HIGHLY recommend them to you to capture the magic of your day!

l. We are so grateful for them. We would recommend them without a doubt for your wedding, they are the best of the BEST.

e of mind. I don’t know how I can really express how amazing they were! We absolutely love them and the pictures they captured of our day were beyond amazing!

on our big day, it was important to us to work with photographers that not only understood our needs, but our personalities as well, so that we could be comfortable in front of the camera. From start to finish, both Matt and Ashley were amazing to work with, and were willing to work with our special requests for the day. The end result; gorgeous photos that not only captured the details and setting, but most importantly the emotion and energy of our wedding, preserving all the special moments that will last us a lifetime. Working with the two of them was such a gift. Not only did we get great pictures, we made new friends as well!

shley. My wife and I have had the pleasure of working with Matt and Ashley three times. My brothers surprised me by hiring them to shoot the proposal, then we had the engagement photos, and after that the answer was obvious; we needed them at the wedding. You will not find another couple of photographers who go above the call of duty and will do everything in their power to make sure you have the best day imagineable. I will be recommending Matt and Ashley to every person I know that is proposing or getting married. I would give 10 stars if I could.

ding day. They made me feel like there was literally nowhere in the world they would rather be than photographing our wedding, and that everything would be beautiful and perfect no matter what. From the moment Ashley showed up in our hotel room, I did not have to look at a clock for the entire rest of the day. I can't overemphasize how amazing that was for me on our wedding day. They kept us on schedule and all the while, maintained their sweet and calm demeanors. And the photos are SO stunning, I get lost just staring at them. I would not ask for a single thing to be different about our experience with Matt and Ashley. They exceeded our expectations in every single way.

ne that you get along well with, someone who knows what they are doing, and someone who will be there to capture all the moments without making themselves obvious. Matt & Ashley were all these things and more! We only had to meet with them once to know they were the right fit for us, and after our engagement shoot, we were certain we had made the right choice. The day of our wedding could not have gone smoother! On top of capturing all the moments of myself and my groomsmen getting ready, Matt was fantastic at keeping us on time (and helping a few of the men with their bowties!). Ashley got everything set up for pictures with the women as they were getting ready for the day and was invaluable at helping my wife remain calm throughout the morning. When the men made it to the church, Ashley greeted us all like an old friend and was just as excited to see us all as the rest of our guests! Our bride and groom shoot was absolutely perfect; I felt so at peace with my new wife and it felt like anything but a photo shoot. Even though the wedding dress did not bustle the way it was supposed to, Ashley was a pillar of support and helped my wife get back to the reception so she could enjoy the guests and what really mattered. The reception was a whirlwind (as is expected), but both Matt and Ashley were great at capturing all our moments, and making sure that my wife and I were staying hydrated, having a bite to eat, and having fun! If we had to do it again, we would do everything the exact same! Matt and Ashley are by far the best choice you can make and the pictures are absolutely stunning!

ey are so cool and awesome to hang out with. Within a couple meetings we became friends. Their work is awesome and our wedding pictures came out perfect. If you are looking for wedding photographers, do yourself a favor and hire Matt and Ashley, you will not be disappointed!!!!!!

hey make your pictures look flawless even if you don't have a modeling bone in your body. Super professional with beautiful work and they get the pictures back to you in a timely manner. You won't be disappointed with the decision to choose them!!

e to help keep us on track so our day ran smooth/how we wanted. We were incredibly happy with both our engagement and wedding photographs. We received several compliments from our family and friends as well. They make taking pictures comfortable and fun. They are extremely talented and had an eye for capturing true moments. We would highly recommend Matt and Ashley to anyone looking for photographers. They went above and beyond to make our day special. We can not thank Matt and Ashley enough. You two are the best!

eds! I highly recommend them and will continue to recommend them to friends and family! Thank you so much <3 We love you guys!

great care in explaining their philosophy/approach to us and made sure to understand what it was we were looking for in our wedding photography. We booked them right away! We had our engagement photos done by them a few weeks later. My now husband and I were a bit nervous about being in front of the camera, but Matt and Ashley did such a good job of making us feel comfortable and natural. Not only did our photos turn out amazing, but we had so much fun hanging out with them! Throughout the entire wedding planning process, they were great to work with- they always answered our questions in a timely manner and even created a wedding day timeline for us, down to the minute! This helped us stay extremely organized with our families and wedding party on the day of. Ashley was honestly a saving grace for my girls and I on the wedding day. She helped us stay on track and when we were running behind schedule, she got us back on track in an efficient and friendly way. She even helped us carry things from the bridal suite onto the party bus! Throughout the entire day, she went above and beyond to not only take beautiful photos, but make sure I was taken care and had everything I needed. I know my husband also loved having Matt with him and his groomsmen while getting ready and said he immediately felt like he was part of the group! Matt and Ashley care about their couples not only as clients, but as friends. This really comes through in everything they do and makes the picture-taking portion of the wedding day so much fun! We received several compliments from family members, members of the wedding party and guests on how nice and helpful our photographers were and how easy they made taking photos. Overall, they are amazing photographers and have become great friends! We would highly recommend Matt and Ashley Photography!!

eason why they keep winning the Best of the Best awards! I first met Matt & Ash via Skype after hearing so much about them from my BFF who got married last year and was obsessed with her engagement pics and I had to find out more! As soon as I started skyping with them, we knew that we had found our photographers! They are so extremely professional and the most down to earth people you will meet! They have amazing customer service and treat you like gold on your wedding day. Ash was at my aid on my wedding day it was incredible! I never felt like I was rushed or late for anything because they keep you on track and make sure you get to where you need to be! Do not look any further, they are an incredible husband and wife duo!!!

hrough friends and family and were blown away by their stunning photos, but it was attention to more than just the image in the frame that won our hearts. When Matt and Ashley made time to video chat with us (I was in California on Pacific coast time, so running 3 hours behind Michigan), we discussed not just what our photos should look like, but what they should do - they should tell the story of our Wedding day. When Matt and Ashley offered up their philosophy on story telling, we knew we made the right choice. They made us feel comfortable, beautiful, confident, and relaxed. They convinced us the merits of doing a "First Look," which we originally weren't sold on and now is a moment I wouldn't trade for anything. They were so excellent and professional in those little moments where it was just one of us, or both of us with Matt, Ashley, or the both of them. And the best part, you get two outstanding photographers. They are of one mind, working together to get the best images possible. Working with them was a phenomenal experience and I can't recommend them enough.

were it! Without hesitation we called them back right away and secured them for our June 2016 wedding. They helped make our wedding day run so smoothly and we felt so at ease with them. Our photos arrived about two months after the wedding in packaging that had a very Matt and Ashley touch to it, it was lovely! The photos were beautiful! The photos did exactly what I had hoped would happen, all those wedding day emotions came flooding back. We will treasure these photos forever and could not have picked better photographers.

s impressed by their quality of work and attention to detail. I would definitely recommend them!

re always great to work with. They are very personable and became our friends over the course of the time we worked together. I always look forward to meeting with them! Not to mention the amount of talent they have. They did a wonderful job of showcasing our wedding and engagement with beautiful photos. I couldn't be happier that I chose them for our special day!

we needed to be. My mom still obsesses over how kind, professional and efficient they were the day of the wedding. My best friend is using them for her wedding now too. We are so thankful we can relive the best day of our lives any time we want, because Matt and Ashley captured every emotion we were feeling that day. Out of all of our amazing vendors, they were without a doubt, the best choice we made!

en. They accomplished the impressive feat of making engagement and wedding photos not only comfortable for the groom but undeniably enjoyable as well. I genuinely enjoyed the time we spent with these 2 capturing memories from our wedding. My family still asks about them to this day because they were so loving and kind to every guest at our wedding. I can't thank them enough for keeping my wife calm and relaxed throughout the entire day. When it comes to wedding cakes, venues and table settings I am indifferent but when it comes to photography, I have and will always recommend Matt and Ashely to everyone I know. You know they are something special when even the groom feels compelled to leave a review on the knot!

track and keep the day totally stress free for my husband and I. We really loved how they took the time to interact with various wedding guests; they ended up feeling more like family than photographers! What truly set them apart was when my veil ripped minutes before walking down the aisle! Ashley tracked down a needle and thread, got down on the ground and sewed the veil, all before I even realized what happened! Both the engagement and wedding pictures are beautiful and help us to relive our wedding everyday! Matt and Ashley are great photographers but even more than that they are wonderful people and will not only fill a role in your wedding but will enhance the love and joy of your day!

they were professional and so personable, and we even have plans to meet up socially! We loved both the engagement and wedding photos! They perfectly captured some of the best moments of our lives.

e known Ashley and Matt for almost two years and I'm still in awe of their talent and attentiveness. They went the extra mile even when it didn't concern them. At our wedding they offered to get us drinks when we were busy greeting guests. Before it was time to cut the cake, I look over and see Ashley taking the plastic wrap off of the treats at our dessert table. And all of our photos we have gotten back from them are amazing! They truly captured who my husband and I are as a couple. We are beyond happy!! Looking at their photos I was able to see their talent, but after working with them I can see why all of their clients are so happy. They went the extra mile in every way. Thank you guys so much! We would choose you again in a heartbeat!

during the planning phase, they worked with us to create a realistic wedding day timeline, and they were helpful in making sure that our day flowed smoothly. Plus, both Matt and Ashley have such friendly personalities, which makes them very easy to work with. Most importantly, we love our photos! They beautifully captured the details and emotions of the day. We highly recommend Matt and Ashley Photography!

they are makes the experience of it all that much better. Whether it was emails back and forth or the craziness of the day of, they truly cared about how we were doing. I've seen a handful of my photos but am dying to see the rest! They were my splurge, and they were worth every penny.

take breathtaking photos, as they are both professional photographers individually, but they were an integral part in the organization and scheduling of our entire day. Their work speaks for itself. They are an unbelievable team, and I would recommend them to EVERYONE!

important since you're going to be spending a good part of your day with your photographers! Matt and Ashley were also well organized and helped keep us on track the day of and made sure we had anything we needed. They even saved us a piece of cake! They went above and beyond and love their aesthetic and photography work. If it's within your wedding budget, hire Matt and Ashley - you won't regret it!

and 4) all-around great people. Our wedding photographs are gorgeous and we could not be happier with the moments they captured from our wedding day. First, since there are two photographers in the Matt + Ashley duo, they were able to capture special bride-only and groom-only moments of the wedding preparation that we would have otherwise missed. Secondly, Matt + Ashley pay attention to the details and work hard to provide a realistic timeline for your day. Thirdly, Matt + Ashley are so fun and easy to work with! They made us feel comfortable from moment one and truly captured our love in photographs. We cannot say enough great things about Matt + Ashley!

rofessionals! I could go on and on about how they made our wedding day easier and seamless but I will stick to my favorite examples. For starters, they helped me organize the whole wedding day and time everything so we made it to the altar on time! Also, when the wedding day arrived, they were constantly making sure that we were ok, weren't thirsty, hungry or in want of anything. Totally not their job, but they do it anyway! I also shouldn't forget to mention that Ashley was the only person who could fix a bridesmaid's zipper malfunction after about 10 other people tried! And lastly, and certainly my favorite reason for choosing Matt and Ashley, is that they captured the happiness of my husband and I so perfectly on our wedding day. Neither my husband nor myself feel comfortable in front of the camera but somehow Matt and Ashley made us feel at home and natural which paved the way for them to take photos that I will cherish and be grateful for all of my days. Their photos are a gift we can never truly thank them enough for. My thanks and gratitude to Matt and Ashley!

rt from their competitors is their focus on customer experience and product delivery. Customer Experience Every step of the way, working with Matt & Ashley was easy and stress free. They go above and beyond to make sure everything runs without a hitch. For example, when our engagement session was scheduled during a spontaneous rain storm, Ashley had already scouted a beautiful ball room on the University of Michigan campus. And when the hotel on our wedding day mistakenly thought we were trespassing on the property, Matt & Ashley had our back, clearing up the confusion with management. Finally, when our family planned a surprise during the reception after they were planning on leaving, Matt & Ashley stayed late to make sure it was captured. They will do whatever they can to give you the perfect wedding day and capture every special moment along the way - something for which we will forever be grateful. Product Delivery The online access portal and final photo package combine for exceptional product delivery. The easy-to-navigate online portal makes it simple to view your pictures as well as share them with friends and family. In addition to online access, Matt & Ashley send a USB drive in a beautiful wooden box with a few complimentary prints and a thoughtfully crafted hand written note - putting the finishing touches on their exceptional service. No detail is left behind! This final package leaves you with a wonderful keepsake for the years to come. I can't say enough great things about working with Matt & Ashley. They were extremely personable, easy to get along with, and produced beautiful photos. You should definitely use them for your wedding!

ofessionalism and creativity shine through everything they do, every shot they take. But their friendliness and kindness make you feel like less of a customer and more like a friend! The moments they found during both the engagement shoot and wedding were perfect. After getting to know us a little bit, they knew that Ryan and I are total goofballs and they found ways to capture our nerdiness through all the shoots. They truly love what they do and are absolutely meant to be in this business!

ng to know us, our preferred photography style, and our idea of our perfect wedding day. Throughout the process of engagement photos, planning for the wedding, and the wedding day itself they have been easy to communicate with, totally accommodating, and honestly made us feel so comfortable to be around them. They made it so easy to be ourselves. We are so happy with the photos we have from both our Engagement Shoot and Wedding Day. These are photos we will cherish for the rest of our lives. I would totally recommend Matt & Ashley to any couple looking for a photographer to document their special day!!

was important to me to have two photographers to capture both of us at the ceremony. I LOVED the fact that they are a young married couple that do this to spend time together on the weekends (how sweet). When we first met Matt and Ashley, it felt like we had known them for years and we both walked out of our meeting saying how they are people we could be friends with. We also knew that they would make us both feel very comfortable behind the camera. During the planning process Matt and Ashley were always so easy to reach, weather it was an email, text or phone call they were always there for me. I could ask them about anything planning wise and they was there to help with the timeline, advice to make the day flow, wedding dresses, desserts...etc. The pictures can speak for themselves because their work is beautiful! You can tell that they put a lot of time in effort into every detail! After looking through all our engagement and then wedding pictures we couldn't even pick a favorite because they were all so wonderful, they were able to capture our day and personalities. Ashley even drove over to my area to the hand deliver our wedding pictures to me because she was so excited for us to get them. After our wedding both of my parents even commented on how great our photographers were. We have had about 6 family weddings in the last year, and they said ours were not only the nicest to work with but fit right in to our group. M mom also loves taking pictures and she said "They did a wonderful job." (which she doesn't say often). My husband and I couldn't have asked for better photographers and will be recommending them to every engaged couple we know. We LOVE Matt and Ashley.

ity to capture all of your special moments, as well as every thing behind the scenes so you are able to relive your wedding day when you receive the pictures. We couldn't be happier with how every thing turned out, and how adorable this couple is! They are so easy going and fun to work with. Not only are you going to get amazing pictures, you will also gain two amazing friends. Thanks again for everything, you made the best day of our life so special. We can't thank or recommend you enough :)

ph. They also went the extra mile to provide beautiful packaging for our finished photos that made it clear that they care deeply about their clients and what they do. We made the correct decision to have them capture the most precious moments of our lives. I highly recommend their services to anyone.

ry professionally, artistically, and in a way that we would cherish forever. And they did. But they did so much more to help make our day special. Talking me through the decision of whether or not to do a first look. Helping me prioritize which family photos we really needed. Understanding where our itinerary might be cutting it tight. Helping me avoid potential "personality" issues during photos. Problem-solving on the fly when plans went off track during the day. Working with our other vendors to make sure everything was aligned. I mean, Ashley even took the time to set aside a plate of appetizers at our place settings because she knew we wouldn't have time to grab them ourselves. The quality of Matt and Ashley's work speaks for itself. What might not be obvious in their photos is all of the hard work they put in to make sure that taking pictures is the easiest, and one of the most enjoyable things you'll do on your wedding day. Looking back, the time we spent with Matt and Ashley during our first look photos around downtown was one of the best parts of the day. They are truly amazing, genuine and talented people who care about each couple they work with. We are so grateful we chose them. Thank you!!

captured emotion and happiness of our wedding day. They also provide a flashdrive of photos as well as an online image gallery.

s Christmas morning the day we received the wedding photos. I may have had my doubts at first thinking we could go with someone else, but I was DEAD WRONG!!! Don't go with anyone else, Matt and Ashley will make you fall in love with your significant other all over again, which is important because weddings are tough to plan for or so my wife says(Just kidding). Book Matt and Ashley Photography it will be the best choice you'll make. Photos last forever don't have Uncle Harry take them with his polaroid camera, get Matt and Ashley Photography and you won't have to worry about a thing!

sweet demeanor, they were a huge help in keeping the wedding day events flowing smoothly and were very efficient with photographing large groups of people. To top it off, Matt and Ashley captured the most BEAUTIFUL photos: the important moments, the joy, the detail, the fun, the elegance. I would HIGHLY recommend Matt and Ashley Photography. Working with Matt and Ashley was one of our best wedding decisions.

rm, generous professionals that are truly seeking to capture your day in the most genuine style possible. Photography was at the top of our List of Important Items and we couldn't have selected a better fit. There's a reason they received Best of Weddings. We can promise choosing M+A will make checking the "hire photographers" box one of the easiest and most rewarding tasks of your planning. Thank you from the bottom of our Maroon and Gold hearts!

e beginning, Matt and Ashley were responsive, organized and interested in hearing what we wanted to get out of our photographs. They were professional, flexible and made everything feel natural. My husband and I both felt strongly about wanting our photos to have a relatively candid feel as opposed to being posed and Matt and Ashley captured just that. We also changed our plans halfway through the wedding planning process and decided to elope instead of having the big wedding. Not only were Matt and Ashley totally accommodating to fit our change of plans at the very last minute, they also served as our witnesses and captured our vision of a small, intimate day perfectly. Matt and Ashley are simply a joy to work with; and to top it all off, our photographs are absolutely beautiful. I can say with certainty and without hesitation that I would recommend Matt and Ashley to anyone looking for a photographer. Thank you, Matt and Ashley, for everything!

feel relaxed and comfortable and you will also have a great time with them. From the moment you meet them you'll feel like life long friends. Matt and Ashley strive to be the best and it shows from every picture, every email, and every conversation you will have with them. They are real people who love their job and want to make sure everything is absolutely perfect. I could not be more impressed with how beautiful my wedding photos came out!! I have received so many compliments. I was also impressed with the package they sent me. I received a cute box with a flash drive of all my photos, a few prints, and couple pine cones from where we shot some pictures. If you want more than good pictures of your wedding, look no further... SERIOUSLY! I have NOT ONE regret with these two (and a bride always has at least one thing she doesnt like about her photos). So happy we picked you :)

them and saw their portfolio I knew they were exactly what I wanted! You can tell the quality of the photos they take are a step above the rest! They both truly have an eye for this. Then when we actually got to meet them and talk to them they have a way of making you feel like your day is the most important day of all, and they will do everything they can to make everything run smoothly. When our wedding day came around it was a hectic day. Matt and Ashley gave off a vibe of comfort, peace, and ease. They were so sweet and went with the flow of whatever came at them. Even all of our guests were raving about how nice our photographers are! When we got our pictures back, there were hundreds to choose from. I can say they got EVERYthing. Which is also a benefit of having two photographers! There wasn't a picture missed, or one I hoped we had. They captured so many moments. Both of our families were very pleased that there was a great mix of both of our families, sometimes wedding pictures can be very one sided. After my ceremony I was concerned that I didn't have time to touch up my makeup before pictures, and they made sure everything was edited tastefully and beautifully. So all in all, we love Matt and Ashley not only as photographers, but they are a fabulous, classy couple. Guaranteed if you use them on your big day you will be more than happy with your wedding photos!

our pictures before the day of our session! Their dedication to their profession and clients is clearly reflected in the quality of the images. Matt and Ashley made our engagement session fun. We shared a lot of laughs with them and I feel like that really benefited our photos. They made us relaxed and comfortable every step of the way. We included our very stubborn English bulldog in the photos and they were able to work magic with him too! We really cannot say enough good things about Matt and Ashley, but their work speaks for itself. If you want to capture love and what your relationship stands for in a photo, you need to give these two wonderful people a call. Thank you both so much – we love you! I will be recommending Matt and Ashley to friends, family, and everyone on The Knot!

our engagement photos in downtown Detroit on a blistering January day (it was only 10 degrees) and by looking at the shots, you would have never known. He never let elements affect his professionalism, nor his eye for a genuine moment. Both Matt and Ashley went with us to Chicago for our wedding shoot. They had the idea to just stay ahead of us while we walked down the streets of the "Windy City" at night. The results were absolutely stunning. I will without fail recommend them to anyone, anytime, any day.

. We first got to know Matt in an engagement session, and realized very quickly that we were not only getting outstanding quality pictures, but he was able to laugh with us, make us feel comfortable being ourselves, and capture moments of joy without things feeling forced. The poses and pictures came naturally, and the resulting pictures truly portrayed our joy in the moment. Needless to say, our wedding photos were even more fantastic in quality. Matt and Ashley cataloged each and every special moment, and we are so grateful for their hard work, attention to detail, and fantastic editing skills. Our big day flew past so quickly, that it is an enormous blessing to be able to relive all the feelings of wonder and excitement through the moments they captured. In addition to the outstanding photographs they took, they had a calming and supportive presence throughout the day. Despite hiccups with some things not going according to plan with our wedding planner, Matt and Ashley did a fantastic job keeping me feeling happy and relaxed with how our day progressed. They both do a fantastic job in ensuring your big day is special. We would highly recommend Matt and Ashley for your big day. Ours would not have been the same without these two!

lan a Michigan wedding from thousands of miles away in Seattle, Washington. Choosing Matt & Ashley for photography was one of the easiest and best decisions we made. Their professionalism, kindness, preparedness, and flexibility made the day much less stressful. They even managed to turn my freaked-out, anxiety-induced crying jag into some beautiful pictures. We were late getting to the wedding venue, but Matt and Ashley were unfazed, and used the time to take some great shots of the beach and of my dress. During our brief prep time, Ashley offered lots of encouragement and some helpful suggestions on hair and lipstick. Then, they kept the entire wedding party calm and organized throughout the formal photos, ensuring that we got a good variety of pictures and that we were back in time for the ceremony. Matt and Ashley work really well together as a team. They obviously know what they’re doing, and their confidence put us at ease. And they were very kind to my sometimes overwhelming family; when our six hours of photography time were up and my relatives were still asking for big group photos, Matt and Ashley stuck around to take a few last shots. The pictures were ready quickly and turned out beautifully, and I was impressed by the presentation (an easy-to-use online gallery to share with people, and a custom flash drive that arrived in a nice wooden box with a few complimentary prints). Matt & Ashley definitely exceeded our expectations!

t and Ashley. Just a few minutes looking through some of their photos and I was in love. Their photos are timeless, capture the feeling of the moment, and some how manage to have perfect coloring in each one. We first met during a engagement session and it felt like we had all been friends for years. You can also tell that they take the time to scout out locations for great shots. On our wedding day they made me feel at ease, it was wonderful. They are also so organized. I was worried about having to take endless relative family photos and miss out socializing during cocktail hour. Matt asked for a list of wanted group family photo prior to the big day. In what felt like only minutes they were all complete and my husband and I were able to join the party. Every moment I could ever want during my wedding was captured perfectly. Best part is they give a disk of high res photos to do with as you please. My entire house is covered with gorgeous photos. We have already used them again for family photos that I plan on using for Christmas cards. Can not wait to use them for years to come.

before our wedding and we felt so comfortable interacting with them, I knew the wedding day would go well. The photos were so beautiful and personal that we decided to use them as our table numbers for our reception. The wedding day went so quickly and it was great to have total confidence in our photographers. They were able to take the photos we desired, but also kept us on track not making us late or miss out on any special moments. We would definitely recommend Matt and Ashley for your photography needs. They are not only talented, they are great people!

ers I had high expectations and after seeing friends who were disappointed with pictures that look like they were from Instagram or so photoshopped it didn't even look real, I knew I wanted someone who knew what they were doing! I was fortunate enough to have a high school friend recommend Matt and Ashley and from our very first contact, we knew they were perfect for us! From Skype meetings to meeting us and loving on our pup during our engagement session we have been happy with every aspect of this awesome husband and wife! During our wedding they helped us organize and stay on track and even rolled with the punches as my now husband was missing a white shirt ten minutes before the ceremony! Matt and Ashley knew how to keep us calm and relaxed all day. We love the gorgeous photos they captured and know we will continue to love them every time we look at them for the next 60+ years of our lives together! Thank you so so much Matt and Ashley for documenting our favorite day with such timeless and beautiful photos :)

I would recommend this husband-and-wife team to anyone. They are super personable and well put together. Most importantly, they take amazing, vibrant, memorable photos that really capture the moment. Matt and Ashley were also exceptional at moving things along. I didn't have to worry about a thing - they knew exactly what to do! Do yourself a favor and invest in a great photographer. I am so glad I did!

falling in love all over again". Well let me tell you, they did just that! I am beyond thrilled with our photos. Not once did they make us feel awkward and they weren't pushy. We took our engagement photos in the winter, they were thoughtful enough to pack extra gloves and blankets for us. I have already recommended them to several friends and I will continue to do so! You truly can't go wrong with this awesome husband and wife duo!! Keep up the fabulous work!

eing such a genuine sweetheart- she cares about each and every person she meets and that comes through in the tenderness she can capture with her photography. Meeting Matt soon after my new husband and I decided to have them shoot our engagement session went just as well- he is so natural and fun behind the lens! My husband and I were able to be ourselves in front of the camera because these two instantly made us feel comfortable, and we also just had such a blast throughout the shoots that my husband and I couldn't have felt more at peace with our decision. We felt as though we had all been friends for a lifetime :) Not only was our experience with them fantastic, but the quality of the pictures taken was so phenomenal! Somehow Matt and Ashley are able to capture the essence of not only us (as bride and groom) but the rest of our family and friends that they had never even met before, and this candid approach led to some of the most touching and truly most memorable moments being caught on camera! Each time I go through our pictures (I must have a hundred times!) I laugh and I cry at every special scene they captured. They went above and beyond to make sure that we had every kind of shot we wished for, and we couldn't believe how lovely they were even when we had some hiccups the day of the wedding! The delivery of our pictures (both engagement and wedding) were so quick too! This precious duo of photographers is worth every penny- if you are looking for truly quality photos with the sweetest people to take them, look no farther! My husband and I already have decided we want them to take our family portraits in a few years when little ones arrive :D

an't help but remember what an amazing night that was. We have Matt and Ashley to thank for capturing all of the details of one of the most special days of our lives! So, THANK YOU MATT AND ASHLEY!!!!!!

ures I can't help but smile the entire time I'm looking at them......not only because it was such a special day......but because our wedding photos turned out better than I ever could have imagined. I highly recommend this amazing couple to anyone looking for a photographer! You won't be disappointed! Thanks again you two!!! XO

r years to come! Matt and Ashley did exactly that! They were able to find the hidden moments that we were not able to witness and truly capture all the emotion of our big day! We could not have asked for better photographers as they listened to the things that we needed and went above and beyond throughout the whole process. Thank you Matt and Ashley for all of your hard work and for helping us make lasting memories!

g. They know the Traverse City area well and took us to a beautiful hill, with a little wooded area. The space was beautiful and it shows through in our photos. The couple knows what they’re doing and can anticipate special moments that will arise and are able to capture those. Some of my favorite photos of the day were the candid shots Ashley was able to get as I got ready with my Mom, Dad, sister and bridesmaids. My parents have a tendency to shy away from the camera and she got some really nice pictures that I’ll treasure. They’re also great with pets. We had our dog as our flower girl and we love the shots they got of her. They also were able to keep the day flowing smoothly. Immediately after our ceremony a receiving line started quickly as guests followed us. Because of limited time we weren’t planning to have one and Matt and Ashley were able to professionally and kindly help to steal us away – keeping the day’s schedule on time and doing so without making any of our guests feel hurt. Our families were so happy with the photos. We highly recommend them. Dana and David

graphers to capture our wedding day. We felt like we had known them for years. They listened to all of our ideas and preferences and made them come alive. They were recently married themselves, so they knew exactly what we were going through and how to make everything turn out perfectly! On our wedding day, Matt spent the hours of preparation with Dave (my husband) and Ashley with myself. Just before the "first look," I learned my veil was missing! I had somehow forgotten it at my house! My dad showed up with it just in time for the ceremony and saved the day! In the mean time, I was a little stressed to say the least. Ashley helped turn my concerns into a positive thought- saving the veil for the ceremony! This way Dave would still have a surprise waiting since he would be seeing me before the ceremony for the first look. This instantly lessened my concerns and everything turned out perfectly. Having the ability to not only capture gorgeous pictures but "problem solve" on the spot make these two amazing photographers! We both highly recommend working with them for your wedding! They did an amazing job and we are forever grateful! Thank you Matt and Ashley!!! Lauren and Dave
