Matt McClosky Photography

Easiest review. Amazing! Love Matt and Ruth they were incredible and played along with our unrelenting goofiness.

Matt and Ruth are fantastic! They were so patient and flexible and easy to work with. They did a great job working with us and helped us with little details. I can't thank them enough for everything they've done.

Matt was recommended to us by our venue and we are SO glad they did! We had our initial zoom meeting with Matt about 18 months before our wedding and from that first interaction we could feel his commitment to our wedding photos. Over the course of planning he was very communicative, responded promptly to all my questions, and constantly put me at bridal ease. On the day of our wedding, Matt & Ruth completely blew us away from the moment we arrived at the venue. They were never pushy or intrusive but became part of the celebration. We received our photos promptly after our wedding and I was left speechless, viewing hundreds of photos over and over again. Every photo captured was more that I could have dreamt them to be. I will recommend Matt & Ruth to anybody getting married in the capital region as my experience with them was incredible and our photos will give us a lifetime of memories. Thank you for being part of our day!

Matt was absolutely wonderful to work with, he truly captured the happiness of our wedding and made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera and did a excellent job of making us laugh to get natural smiles. Leading up to the wedding, he was easily available to discuss the timeline of the day and help with any questions. He captured so many great moments of our day that I am so happy to have. We loved that his package included Thank you notes and an album. Matt was also incredibly flexible and was able to stay for a additional hour making it so we got some great shots of everyone dancing! We were so happy to have the photo gallery ready a month after our wedding, being able to relive the day so quickly was amazing. We loved having Matt as our Photographer and will be recommending to all family and friends!

Matt & Ruth were our photographers for our May wedding and were a pleasure to work with leading up to the day and on the day. The weather was record breaking highs but they captured the guests and setting beautifully. We just accessed our gallery and couldn't be happier with the end result. Great personalities and very talented.

Matt and Ruth McClosky are simply the best! McClosky Photography where the premier photographers for mine and my wife's wedding a few weeks ago. Aside from being extremely talented, both are spectacular people and so much fun. They were our go-to photographers for our wedding engagement and then again, for our special day. We CANNOT wait to see our final photos; but if they are anything like our engagement photos, we have no doubt we will be blown away by them! Matt and Ruth, thank you both from the bottom of our hearts for being part of our special day!

Matt and Ruth are excellent！ Very accommodating and easy to communicate with! Loved their photos! Captured all nice moments we could have for our big day!

We had such a great time working with Matt McClosky Photography for our engagement photos. As soon as we hopped on the phone with Matt, we knew he was our guy. He made the scheduling process so seamless, which is truly a godsend amidst wedding planning. Matt and Ruth are an incredible team when it comes to capturing photos that we'll cherish forever. This was our first time getting professional photos together, and they made us feel so comfortable. It was actually quite fun. In the end, the photos were beyond our expectations (and we knew they would be good). We're so excited to work with them again next year for our wedding day!

Matt and Ruth are such a great team. I highly recommend! Very easy to communicate with and work out details for the event. They made our engagement shoot so fun and helped us to feel comfortable and like ourselves the whole time. The pictures came out beautifully and I can’t wait to have them do our wedding as well!

We totally hit the jackpot scoring Matt and Ruth as our photographers for all things wedding. We started with an in person get to know you meeting to discuss his shooting style, what we should expect and the type of investment we would make, after that meeting, we knew we needed to have Matt as our photographer. We had an amazing engagement photoshoot (part 1) in August 2019 in Downtown Saratoga in front of all these cool spots all up and down Broadway. We totally loved this experience and pictures and although felt awkward at first, started getting comfortable with the idea of being the main event and taking super cool photos out and about in public. Ethan and I met on our college track team and we had this idea that we really wanted some photos of us running together. Matt took this idea and ran with it (haha) and met us at the local high school track for engagement photos part 2. These photos are also great and make me smile every time I see them! Next, we hosted a very small (25- guest) wedding ceremony at The Appel Inn in July 2020 (our original wedding date) and we soooo relieved that Matt and Ruth were able to be there and capture the memories of Ethan and I getting married for real. These photos are absolutely stunning! We love looking back at these ceremony photos and our posed photos from after the ceremony and see everyone who was there for our special day (part 1 again). Finally after almost 3 full years of having Matt and Ruth hired as our photographers, we got to have them for our full wedding day, starting from getting ready all the way to our sparkler exit! We recently got the photos back and I cannot emphasize enough how perfect they are at showing the entire day as it happened. We sat on our couch with some wine, played the 700+ photo slide show and got to relive our entire wedding day with these photos. Matt and Ruth are such a fun team to work with, they love to mess around, will take any of your ideas and make them work and they like to make sure they do some fun and different poses instead of the basic stuff you typically see. I would be so happy if we could hire them again and again because they are so so worth it!

Matt & Ruth are incredible. We had a total of 4 photo sessions with them before we were "officially married" factoring in the year of covid uncertainty. They met us twice for engagement sessions and gave great recommendations for engagement locations based the common interests of me and my fiance'. They photographed our small 'boutique wedding' during the lockdown and our big celebration this year with all of our family and friends. I can't imagine anyone else having shot our wedding. They were super friendly, easy going and I feel like they were the most wholesome and honest part of the entire experience. Matt gave great vendor recommendations too. Ruth and Matt will make you feel like family and deliver photos that stir up some serious emotion. They are without a doubt the husband & wife dream team.

Matt and Ruth are truly amazing. They did my (now) husband and I's engagement and wedding pictures, and I can honestly say the whole experience with them was perfect. They make the atmosphere fun, comfortable, and relaxed - and the pictures are simply phenomenal. They were also super flexible and were able to accommodate us when we had to change our original plans due to COVID. I can't say enough good things about them and I would HIGHLY recommend them for any event!!

Matt and his wife were exactly what my now wife and I were looking for in our photographer. We don’t really enjoy posing for pictures but Matt made it seamless. Matt was able to capture the important moments for us and deliver breath taking photos that we have already looked at time and time again. I would highly recommend McClosky Photography to anyone who needs a photographer.

There were a couple of non-negotiable at our wedding and the top of the list was the wedding photographer. Matt & his wife Ruth are nothing short of exceptional. They make you feel comfortable the entire time they're on site. Making sure they grab every shot you desired and even the ones you may have never thought of. Our ceremony was supposed to be outdoors, but Mother Nature was uncooperative that day and we ended up making a last minute decision to get married on the balcony inside the barn where our reception was going to be held. Matt & Ruth were able to capture beautiful moments the entire night without a hitch. We are beyond thankful for them, and would recommend them to anybody seeking professional and trustworthy photographers!

My husband and I cannot thank Matt and Ruth enough for not only taking the most beautiful photos of my wedding but for being everything we could’ve hoped for in a wedding photographer. I first met Matt and Ruth at a wedding expo at the Albany Marriot, my mom told me that I had that day to book a wedding photographer, anyone of my choice. After meeting and speaking with many photographers, I found that Matt and Ruth were the perfect match. Not only because of the gorgeous portfolio they had, but because they were the most personable, relatable, down to earth people. They are nothing but exceptional and I recommend them to anyone in need of a photographer for any occasion. My husband and I definitely see ourselves having Matt and Ruth photograph many more special moments in our lives.

Most amazing husband and wife photography team you could ask for on your special day. Their dynamic working together and with you makes the day run so smoothly, all while capturing your best day ever! I am ever so grateful for Matt and Ruth “Perry,” and highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun, dynamic duo who produces some of the most amazing shots of you and your groom.

I cannot say enough great things about Matt and Ruth! My husband and I do not thrive in the spotlight, and they made us feel beyond comfortable the entire time. Every single photo came out BEAUTIFUL and every wedding guest mentioned how much they enjoyed having Matt and Ruth around. You will not regret booking!

10/10 recommend. Matt & Ruth were incredibly professional, but also so much fun to work with and very flexible/adaptable to the events of the day. Prices were very fair, and the quality of their work is top-notch. They went above and beyond to capture the day!

We had such an amazing experience working with Matt McClosky Photography! Matt had great communication from the moment we inquired about booking him for our wedding- he met with us in person, provided us with all the information we needed and answered all our emails and our hundreds of questions right away. He was organized and had everything set up and answered so we had absolutely no worries come the day of. On our wedding day Matt and Ruth went above and beyond to get the most breathtaking shots. From climbing dark staircases to laying down on the docks... they did everything to get the perfect pictures and angles! They were so personable and made our time with them comfortable and fun. We were so happy with all our pictures we got back. We would absolutely recommend having them for your special day! Love, Bethany & Brandon Keating

Matt was amazing! The day we picked for our engagement photos was cloudy and raining. But we had no reason to be worried! The pictures Matt took look like the perfect sunset lighting! We look amazing and you wouldn't believe we were getting rained on the whole time. He was also great to work with! He kept us laughing and we really enjoyed ourselves. My fiance and I are not big on taking pictures because we end up having stale smiles after a couple seconds. But Matt kept us from that fate with well placed jokes and allowed us to just be ourselves. Our wedding day wouldn't have been what it was without Matt and Ruth! They are really such an amazing team to work with! Calm in the middle of the storm. They really knew how to catch special moments that were not planned. If you want to have an amazing wedding day I would absolutely recommend you choose Matt!

We can't say enough wonderful things about Matt and his wife, Ruth! From the very beginning they were great to work with! Matt always answered our emails and questions very quickly and thoroughly, he was organized, and we felt that we were so prepared going into the wedding that we didn't have any concerns or questions about photos. My husband and I said over and over again throughout the day how happy we were that we made the decision to ask them to photograph our wedding day. Matt and Ruth arrived on time and were so much fun while taking the getting ready photos. They were personable, funny, made everyone feel at ease... just absolutely wonderful. Everyone who had a part in the day has told us how much they enjoyed working with Matt and Ruth because of how fun they are to be around but also how good they are at taking photos. They gave great direction about what they were looking for and all of the shots turned out phenomenal. It is awesome because Matt has more of the technical eye for lighting etc while Ruth has an eye for composition so they balance each other out perfectly and really do a phenomenal job. They were open to any pictures that we wanted to have taken too! Throughout the ceremony, I didn't even notice they were there! Which was great because I was able to just focus on marrying my best friend. But the pictures they got were absolutely incredible!! And they were organized and quick with getting amazing pictures of family after the ceremony so that we could get back for our cocktail hour and reception! They were so fun at the reception and everyone enjoyed working with them! But, being wedding photographers, I suppose one of the most important things is the actual photos. I was blown away by how much I love our photos. He sent us almost 800 photos and I literally love every single one! AND to top it all off, his pricing was the best that I could find! We are sure that everyone will love Matt and Ruth as much as we did!
