Matt Lien Photography

of our minds. His work is so distinctive. So moody. So stunning. So unlike 99% of everything else that’s out there. For someone who has been named one of the best wedding photographers in America (according to Brides, three years running), Matt is impossibly humble and down to earth. There are very few people we would have wanted to be in such close proximity with for so much of our wedding day. Flying him out to Pennsylvania to document our big day was one of the best decisions we made in the 12+ months we spent planning. This became even more clear after we had an unexpected 90-minute timeline delay and Matt single handedly got us back on track, with a Plan B that surpassed everything we’d envisioned for Plan A. I don’t know what we were more impressed by: his speed/efficiency (especially with family photos!) or his skill (especially his ability to find the best light, frame the shot, and get two people who are admittedly camera-shy to relax and just be in the moment). We wanted the opposite of a cookie cutter wedding album, someone who would put us both at ease in front of the camera, someone who would be great with our guests, and someone who would capture memories made to last a lifetime. Matt (over)delivered on every front. If he has your date free, waste no time getting that contract signed!

st to work with, but his products are unmatched. He has amazing photography skills and is so attentive to capturing natural raw moments throughout the day. We love him and his work!!

things to say about it. I trust him to take care of the couples I send his way and know that they will cherish those photos forever. And I love having his work in my portfolio :)

splayed a slideshow of our Italy photos at our reception, and our guests continued to comment on how much they loved the photos. I really wanted wedding photos that were special and not "typical" photos, and Matt easily exceeded those expectations.

hroughout our entire engagement (year and a half), and he shot our engagement photos too, which were stunning. Seriously, we were told they could be in a magazine, and for that all the credit goes to him. And I can't say enough about our wedding photos, the day of the wedding he was super calm (which I needed), and he got all of the shots I had been hoping for. He caught so many candid moments, and the shots of us outside by Lake Calhoun are breathtaking. I promise, choosing Matt to photograph your wedding will be the best choice you make!

over the task. I never once questioned whether we'd made the right decision, or felt like I needed to do any work - he took his job and ran with it. Definitely one of the best.

le while he makes you look like a movie star on camera. I would highly recommend him, whether in the USA or anywhere in the world.

otobooth and I highly recommend it, it's so much fun! We definitely recommend Matt!

gagement session with him was amazing too!

k. He is timely and affordable. He captures all the informal moments too that really give you the feel of that day. BOOK HIM!
