Matt Montalvo Photography

feel comfortable and know exactly what to do while photos were being taken. He got great pictures of everybody and was inconspicuous while doing it, so he never interfered with anything going on. He also got the photos back to us very quickly which we appreciated.

uence of the photos. Matt took in-the-moment photos and knew the right angle to take them from. The quality and professionalism is superb! Our friends had recommended Matt and we couldn't agree more that he was the best fit for our wedding needs. Me and my husband will 110% recommend his services to our friends, family and relatives who are looking for professional shots! Matt is very detailed-oriented, very direct with positioning you to make sure the photo captures every essence of what we wanted, including highlighting specific pieces in our wedding layout. Matt also has a secured gallery where the photos are stored and you can go back to order prints if you wish. Matt is very family-oriented and was a fan favorite at our wedding. Thank you Matt for capturing me and my husband's ceremony and milestone to cherish for years to come.

ons. Highly recommend!!

within a week of our wedding. Most people I know have waited up to 2 months!! Matt has a great method and captured the best moments of our big day. I couldn't be happier with how things turned out and so thankful Matt was a part of our day!

checked in with us several times before the wedding to ensure he understood our vision and the shots we knew we wanted. He knew that we wanted to attend our cocktail hour, so he worked really efficiently to maximize our time with out guests and we really appreciated that. Matt even knew how to bustle my dress and helped me button my buttons with a crochet hook! A true Renaissance Man :) Matt really captured the essence of our special day in his amazing photographs. We are thrilled with the quality of his work and his warm, friendly personality made us feel totally at ease.

punctual, incredibly efficient with the shots he took, and made the entire process enjoyable for everyone involved. Matt’s passion for his work is obvious—you can see it in every detail of his photos. His attention to detail and ability to capture the love and joy of the day are unmatched. We were blown away when he sent us sneak peeks just a week after the wedding, and they were stunning. The finished product is nothing short of incredible, and we’re so excited to have these memories to cherish forever. Beyond his amazing talent, Matt is simply a fun person to be around. His infectious energy made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, which really shines through in the photos. Matt is worth every single penny, and we can’t recommend him enough! If you’re looking for a photographer who will make your day unforgettable and deliver breathtaking photos, Matt Montalvo is your guy.

t right. As someone who does not know their best angles, it was great to have him make those small adjustments so that he captures you at your best. He was not overly directing or posing so that everything felt very natural. Matt was also great at being at the right place at the right time to capture those priceless candid moments.

t Matt is unmatched. Matt helped us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. He made the whole process and experience so much better with his tips and helpful suggestions. He is easily adaptable and very very easy to work with! I’d absolutely recommend Matt to everyone and we can’t wait to have him capture various special events in our lives!

as photos down to a tee. Highly recommend him! We got our photos back fast. Thank you, Matt!

oments. He was present from start to finish and did not miss a beat. He made taking pictures really fun and smooth. He minimized the time it took to take couples photos on our own. He made taking photos effortless. The pictures came out spectacular. His turn around time was very quick. I could not imagine having another photographer. He did an excellent job and we are very happy with his work. If the opportunity present itself we would hire him again!

ble for answering any questions. We had a smaller wedding of roughly 50 people and Matt still took fantastic photos of everyone there and all of us on the dance floor too. We really appreciated him scoping out the venue location outside for areas that would be good for couple shots, as well as wedding party shots. He also provided us with our photos not too long after, which we appreciated. We definitely recommend Matt!

few friends of mine so I knew who I wanted right from the start. He captured so many moments from my engagement shoot and wedding day that will last a lifetime. I never thought my photos could look so beautiful, and I am so happy with his work. I will refer others to Matt as much as I can, and he'll definitely be the first person I call for special moments in the future!

sence of our special day. His relaxed and organized approach immediately put us at ease, allowing us to enjoy every moment without any stress. Matt was extremely responsive and communicative throughout the whole process. Unlike many other photographers we spoke with, Matt personally handled every aspect of his work—from taking the photos to editing them, designing the album, and answering emails. We knew we were in good hands from day one and could not be happier with the photos and memories he captured of the day. Our photo album tells a story and brings us back to the joy and love we felt on our wedding day. Matt's ability to blend seamlessly into the event while capturing stunning images is remarkable. If you want someone to perfectly capture your special day and provide the best photography experience possible, we wholeheartedly recommend Matt. His talent, professionalism, and passion for his work are unmatched. Thank you, Matt, for capturing our day perfectly!

our needs and interests and had lots of great ideas. He did a great job of capturing candid photos of the event that showed so much joy and connection! We were so glad to have him there!

ts, to the fine details. Matt was so personable and attentive to making sure he didn’t miss anything he had down in his notes as he crossed each one off. There’s nothing more important than working with a vendor on your wedding day, (which in our case was 2 days) Who shows up early and puts in the extra effort and time all the way to the end of the night & doesn’t leave until making sure we were satisfied. It’s one thing to be reassured leading up to the day by your vendors, and another when you see them show up and actually put in the work that was expected & then exceed the original expectations. Some vendors pack up and leave as soon as they hit the last minute they’re being paid, without any concern for the customers satisfaction. But Matt, he truly cares about his clients and goes the extra mile to provide reassurance and reliability. Genuine, Talented, Personable & Reliable We could not recommend Matt Montalvo Photography more than enough, Matt and his crew are the true dream team!

vided so many great tips for us before and during the wedding to capture exactly what we wanted. Not only that, he must have been absolutely everywhere during our wedding because he did not miss a single moment! I was so pleased when we got our pictures back (just 5 days later!) and every single moment that I thought "oh I hope he got a picture of that" was right there. Booking Matt was absolutely the best decision we made for our wedding and I will recommend him to everyone I know!

enough good things about Matt: he was a major element in the success of the wedding.

te tears and non-cooperation. He also took amazing pictures of just the two of us that we love.

great eye and is very kind. He was able to accommodate anything we asked and did it without hesitation! His might be the fastest photographer that I have even seen with pictures edits as well. We got our entire wedding portfolio back 5 days after our wedding, which included over 350 edited pictures! My husband and I are an interracial couple so lighting and balance was a big deal for us, Matt was able to balance both of our complexions easy and our photos turned out better than we could expect! Thank you Matt for being amazing and making the memories of our day amazing for us!

have had a better person for the job... and his turnaround time for the files were super quick, too.

ught each moment to life in a way that surpassed our expectations. What truly sets Matt apart is not just his talent but also his genuine and personable nature. He effortlessly made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, turning what could have been nerve-wracking moments into joyful and relaxed memories. Matt's ability to adapt his style to suit the unique vibe of each occasion showcased his versatility as a photographer. From the intimate shots during our engagement photos to the grandeur of our wedding day, Matt's skillful photography tells a beautiful and cohesive story. We are beyond grateful for Matt's incredible work and the stunning memories he has gifted us. If you're looking for a photographer who not only captures moments but enhances them with artistry and warmth, Matt is the one! HIGHLY recommended!

e great advice for how to “get married” and look good doing it. From that, the results were amazing and a fast turn-around on the picture. We want to do another event just to have Matt take the pictures.

was such a pleasure to work with! I would highly recommend Matt for any wedding/engagement photography!

bout him. What a great experience, we will always wish we had Matt for every picture we want taken of us from here on out!

ughout the entire year I was planning the wedding. Matt also went above and beyond his role as a photographer. He provided tips and advice throughout the day of the wedding, using his experience to lead photo opportunities but also gave advice about how to go about the wedding in general for us (the couple), the parents, and for the groomsmen/bridesmaids. I am eternally grateful for having him there photograph our big day and our engagement photos. I cannot express enough our gratitude for his help and his services.

He very quickly gets to know everyone who is important to you and learns all the moving parts of the families. My husband and I hate to be photographed and posed, but he made us feel comfortable and we had a blast working with him! He truly helped make the night incredible for us! My family members and guests can’t stop raving about how awesome he is!

ionally, he's super easy to work with, prompt, professional, and will get your photos back to you extremely quickly. He has also worked with many vendors and at many venues, and knows the ins and outs of the wedding industry very well. I'd recommend him over and over again!

wedding. He is very easy going and has a personality that puts you at ease and not feel awkward. Matt got our pics back incredibly fast. We HIGHLY recommend Matt and would hire him again in a heartbeat.

we received one week later! Only regret, was not having more photos! I wanted a dreamy/creative veil shot and more fun shots with the wedding party. It could have been our timeline crunch though also, and once the day starts rolling it feels so busy & gets harder to ask. We also did a sparkler exit shot but they came out really bright, which I had envisioned differently. Just recommend making sure you know what to ask for if you are wanting specific shots! Still rating 5 stars for the photos & service received :). Thank you Matt!

ictures are amazing! He captures precious family moments! Matt is a very friendly guy and easy to work with! We were extremely happy with all of the wedding photos! We definitely recommend him!

y research extensively. I knew Matt was the one immediately after our initial call! And boy did he deliver outstanding pictures and within a week! Our rehearsal dinner and wedding pictures turned out stunning and captured all the moments we wanted and more. It's important to note that as the bride, you don't get to see everything along the way, like the cocktail hour or the details in the room being flipped, or everybody seated at every table. Matt got it ALL!! I went from crying with joy, to literally laughing out loud, to saying "awwww" to myself as I looked through our albums and got to see the things I didn't see in person. He captured the true essence of my family and friends and want above and beyond to make sure we got the perfect pictures at the golden hour. He truly loves what he does, and it shows in his work overall. From answering emails promptly to giving the most precise instructions for each portrait, to editing your pictures according to your desires, he is a true professional who won't let you down at any point in the process. On top of all that, he has a great, energetic personality and is so fun to have by your side on your wedding day! Matt will listen to you and work with all of your concerns. Even if I make a face in disgust or start to get frustrated with the heat, Matt will still be upbeat and cheer you on and get you through it! I write content for a living and I feel like I still haven't written the proper words to give credit where it's due and reiterate how beautiful our pictures are, and I will be forever grateful to Matt. If we lived in the Austin area, we'd constantly reach out to Matt for any other family portraits or party picture needs. Thanks Matt!!

errific personality and is very thoughtful. Overall a great addition to all our wedding milestones.

experienced and yet still affordable. He never felt pushy and from our first phone call I felt comfortable in hiring him. On my wedding day he showed up early and was ready to go right away! He was the calming presence that I needed as a nervous bride. He worked quickly to get all the shots in the busy schedule that I had and the photos turned out so perfect! I swear I stare at them multiple times each day and can’t wait to get them printed for my home. My friends and family loved them as well! I was also seriously impressed by how fast he was in delivering them. I was still on my honeymoon when I got my gallery! All in all, 10/10 and would absolutely work with Matt again someday. Thanks again Matt!!
