Matt and Ashley are an incredible team to work with! From our first meeting, we felt listened to, and they promptly answered all of our questions along the way. On our wedding day, Matt snapped photos while we got ready, and he genuinely put us...
at ease and made taking photos fun. He captured the most beautiful, special candids from our intimate ceremony, and he helped us feel comfortable when posing for portraits. We were so happy with the variety of candids and posed photos in our gallery, and the stunning way in which Matt captures the light. We wholeheartedly recommend Matt and Ashley Photography -- you won't be disappointed.

As an events professional, I know from experience that a photographer can make or break your big day--they'll be spending all day with your closest friends and family, capturing your most intimate moments, balancing family dynamics, and making ...
sure you don't run behind, all while being tasked with actually photographing the wedding! As such, it was important to my husband and I that we chose a photography team that we loved and trusted wholeheartedly. Matt and Ashley were (and are!) everything we were seeking and more. While we initially fell in love with their photography and editing styles (isn't their portfolio is to die for?!), once we got to know them, we were sold. From their first email, they were communicative, professional, and extremely organized. We had a Zoom consultation and immediately felt at-ease and connected to them both--they're extremely warm, kind, and knowledgable people. Even throughout the wedding planning process, they were always available to answer any questions we had or even help create timelines. On our wedding day, Matt and Ashley arrived early and got to work right away. They struck a perfect balance of keeping us on schedule while allowing us to enjoy priceless moments with our friends and family. As such, we got all of the shots we wanted and SO many more--my husband remarked that while a special moment or conversation was taking place, he'd think to himself, "Wow, this would be a cool photo." Then, out of the corner of his eye, he'd see Matt or Ashley taking a snap. It was like they read our minds--they were everywhere! In terms of portraits with each other, our families, and our wedding party, I was a bit nervous about posing and feeling awkward. Matt and Ashley helped all of us feel natural and relaxed in front of the camera. Our guests fell in love with the two of them and couldn't stop raving. Many members of our wedding party (including one who is a wedding photographer) want to hire them to shoot their own weddings someday, and we can't say we blame them! Our gallery was delivered early--despite it being busy season--and was jaw-dropping. Matt and Ashley captured every little in-between moment that we can now cherish forever and ever: my bridesmaids giggling and dancing as we got ready, a kiss I placed on my grandfather's cheek, my father-in-law jumping in the lake right before donning his tux, our friends and family meeting and mingling over spritzes at cocktail hour, my mom looking misty and proud during my dad's speech--the list goes on and on and on. My advice? Stop looking for your wedding photographer; you've found them! You won't regret handing over the reins to these two.

day so much fun before even talking about our amazing pictures that we received. Both of them were a calming presence on a stressful day and helped make sure things went as smoothly as possible. Neither of them missed a single moment throughout the day, when looking through our wedding pictures they captured so many moments that I didn’t even realize were happening at the time and that are so unbelievably special to my husband and I. Matt and Ashley talk about creating a legacy, and they have gone above and beyond to help us do that. There are so many amazing pictures of my husband and I and our family and friends that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Both of them are such amazing genuine people and I can’t thank them though for what they put in to our wedding. We can’t wait for the opportunity to use Matt and Ashley for our family pictures in the future <3

They answered all our questions and it was simply an amazing time having them there with us. Oh yeah - the photos - they were incredible. I have so many good things to say about these two as people, and even more awesome things to say about their photography. Going through everything after our wedding was an amazing experience.

h. They’re genuinely fun people to work with, who are genuinely passionate about what they do. During the wedding day, they were extremely organized, and we worked through all the shots efficiently, but were also not at all pushy or trying to rush the process. The way they balance this is masterful. They have tons of ideas for what they want to shoot, and are always asking open to feedback and adjusting during the process to make sure you get the outcome you want. Throughout the evening, once we were interacting with all the guests, Matt and Ashley were always capturing the moment without getting in the way of the guests. It’s truly awesome seeing them in action. Afterward, they got us our curated and finalized gallery very quickly, and even touched up a couple photos where we had specific requests. We can’t recommend Matt and Ashley more highly.

They helped us develop a fantastic timeline to the day, they recommended first look photos and knocking out family formals before the ceremony, and they helped navigate us through the day and made it all effortless. We were able to actually enjoy our time with family and friends, and the pictures back it all up. On top of that the pics were ready in just over 2 weeks from the wedding, well ahead of schedule. Thanks again for all your hard work !

photographed 3 of my best friends’ weddings, 2 of which I had been a maid of honor/bridesmaid in, and I fell in love with with them. Obviously their work is incredible and high quality, but their dynamic as partners in life and as photographers, coupled with the fact that they are just extremely kind human beings, has made every wedding I’ve been a part of with them just a little more special. They were organized and communicative from day one, and captured the essence of what we wanted from the big day. They provided a very detailed timeline and worked closely with my wedding planner to finalize it as the wedding drew near. They also helped us with vendor recommendations as well. Their structure & organization made the first look, bridal party, and post-ceremony family photos a breeze. During the wedding/reception, it felt like they were just everywhere. As soon as someone pulled out a cell phone to try to get a picture with us, Matt or Ashley would just come out of nowhere to capture every moment. I cannot recommend them enough!

Our day ended up looking quite different than the one we had planned, Matt and Ashley helped us capture the experience in all of its one of a kind glory! Matt and Ashley not only took gorgeous photos for us to treasure for years to come, but they helped to capture the spirit and story of our day, something we will be eternally grateful for. Matt and Ashley are generous in their time and their spirits. Truly making the entire process so seamless and easy.

They even let us repurpose some of their time since photographing a backyard 25-person wedding just takes less time. They were so professional taking photos on our wedding day and did a great job directing the show. They made sure all of our photo combinations happened, they photographed the most intricate details, and they even arrived ready with a clear umbrella so we could take photographs outside despite the rain. They captured all of the beautiful moments of our day and especially our dear family members that were able to join us. The online photo gallery was really easy to use after the wedding and we were able to share it easily with family and friends who were not able to attend in person. We cannot say enough wonderful things about Matt and Ashley. Thank you for capturing our day!

To put together a wedding in 4wks in the middle of a pandemic might have been the craziest thing we've done as a couple, but we did it thanks to our amazing vendors and being in the wedding industry myself I knew I didn't want to plan something...
too big too far out...so when I reached out to my network of MI vendors & was referred to Matt and Ashley I knew if they were available it was meant to be after seeing their work & reading all the amazing reviews online! Since we were having a smaller wedding without a bridal party, we had Matt shoot alone and he was so great at keeping us calm, organized, and on time! It was so nice hanging out with him all day. My husband was so relaxed and comfortable during photos considering we had never met Matt in-person and have never had professional photos taken of us before.

Matt & Ashley take the time to plan everything for you, produce a timeline to keep the day on track, and are there for you in case any issues arise. I'm not kidding when I say, they are literal angels on your wedding day. My husband was so comfortable with Matt, and his groomsmen kept commenting on how he felt like just "one of the guys" during the time they spent with him. And Ashley, well, she is a godsend. Keeping timelines intact, reassuring me that the weather didn't matter, and reminding me of the love surrounding us. Our families and wedding party could not stop saying how amazing they both were throughout the whole day. With their amazing personalities aside, their work speaks for itself. Matt & Ashley stole us away for a quick minute at the end of the night & showed us some of the highlights of our day, and we were all in tears. Their talent and ability to capture the most amazing moments is unparalleled. The photos are exactly what I wanted and more than I could dream of.

Matt and Ashley kept everything running smoothly and I never had to look at a clock once on my wedding day.

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.

I would totally recommend Matt & Ashley to any couple looking for a photographer to document their special day!!

Matt and Ashley Photography were absolutely WONDERFUL to work with! My husband and I chose them to take our engagement and wedding pictures.When we first started planning our wedding, it was important to my husband not to do a first look and it...
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.

Choosing Matt and Ashley for our wedding photography was by far our best investment. I knew Matt and Ashley when they were studying photojournalism in college. So I knew they would not only capture those key moments of the day, but tell our sto...
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!!

We also changed our plans halfway through the wedding planning process and decided to elope instead of having the big wedding.

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!

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!

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.
