Belated review for our wedding in May 2024! Matt and Nicole were truly wonderful. They captured the feel of our wedding perfectly, with so many candids of guests and great dancing pictures. Their communication beforehand was excellent; it’s clear they take pride in what they do. My husband and I were both anxious about the posed photos, but they made us feel comfortable. Our photos are stunning, we couldn’t be happier with them!

I can’t thank Matt and Nicole enough for the amazing work they did on my wedding day. They were so easy to work with and the pictures came out sooo beautiful! We love love love them!They were both very professional, organized, flexible and attentive to any requests my husband and I had. They both really went above and beyond. On my wedding day Nicole helped me in aspects that weren’t even photography related which I will always deeply appreciate. One of the many things I love about their photography is how they capture natural moments in real time and also the humor in some of their non traditional photos, it definitely adds an edge that my husband and I fell in love with immediately when we first came across their work. After having my engagement shoot with them using both Matt and Nicole to capture our special day was a no brainer. I would 100% highly recommend!

Matt and Nicole photographed our NYE wedding in the Catskills and they did a wonderful job! The pictures turned out beautifully. We were impressed with how quickly they were able to get our group photos done even though we had a big wedding party. This was especially appreciated since we opted for outdoor photos and it was cold! They were also very communicative throughout the process, including leading up to the wedding and during the wedding day. Despite our large wedding (185+), they captured almost everyone in attendance in at least one picture. We know we’ll really appreciate that in the years to come as we continue to look back at the photos in our album.

I had the pleasure of working with Matt Stallone Photography for my wedding, and I must say, it was a dream come true! My spouse and I were indecisive about choosing a photographer, given the numerous options available, but we knew we wanted someone friendly, professional, and able to capture stunning photos while being virtually invisible. Matt and Nicole delivered on all three fronts!
The process was seamless, and Matt and Nicole were always available to answer our questions and provide guidance. My spouse is a paraplegic, and we were amazed at the stunning photo angles that Matt and Nicole captured throughout the day. We were even given digital copies of the photos that we used to create a digital slideshow for our parents, which they loved!
We were so impressed by Matt and Nicole's kindness, professionalism, and exceptional work that we commissioned them to create a custom photo album for us. Nicole spent hours on a call with us, helping us design the perfect photo album, and we were blown away by the final product. It is truly a work of art, and we couldn't be happier with it.
I highly recommend Matt Stallone Photography if you're looking for the best photographers in the area. Their expertise and attention to detail are unmatched, and they truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day special. We will definitely recommend them to our friends and family for any and all upcoming events. Thank you, Matt and Nicole, for your exceptional work!

Working with Matt and Nicole at Matt Stallone Photography was a no-brainer. From the moment we saw their portfolio and the beautiful images they produced for good friends, we knew we wanted them on our team. They were so responsive, professional, and organized. They scheduled a call early into our planning to assess what we wanted to capture with our photos. My husband and I shared how important capturing authentic photos was to us especially since I am camera-shy and don’t know how to pose for a camera. Matt and Nicole calmed our nerves and made us feel comfortable on our very first call. This ability to ease nerves carried onto both our engagement shoot and wedding day photos. Struggling to feel comfortable in my skin, I was on edge during our engagement shoot. However, you would never be able to tell from the beautiful images Matt delivered. It was clear that he could sense my hesitation and anxiety and did his absolute best to make us comfortable and relaxed. We couldn’t believe how stunning the engagement photos turned out. The lighting, vivid colors, and authenticity were just palpable.
Matt and Nicole are such a great team and so in tune with each other and their clients. They truly understand that each couple is unique and can capture that well.
Fast forward to our wedding day, Matt and Nicole scoped out our first look location, even though it was an additional 45 minutes from our getting ready location. Matt and Nicole are easygoing, willing to try anything, and listen to the client. Even though the first-look location was out of the way and had the potential of delaying the wedding, they were on board. They were well prepared after having done several walk-throughs to find us the best shots at the location.
They were prompt and ready to rock and roll when they arrived at the hotel. However, on our wedding day, my dad ended up in the hospital. I was extremely heartbroken and a mess, but they were supportive and empathetic while ensuring we captured beautiful images that could be shared with my dad proudly. There were several changes to our original game plan and they rolled with the punches. They were so good about keeping my husband and I on track and reminding us of our shot list request. They were determined to capture all of the photos we had requested. It was such a pleasure working with them and we can't wait to work with them again soon when we do our family portraits with Dad. We plan to work with Matt and Nicole for years to come!!!

Matt and Nicole are AMAZING! We fell in love with their work immediately after looking at some of their past wedding albums. Matt has such a gift with capturing light and color so vividly. Every part of the experience with Matt and Nicole was so easy – Nicole is super responsive and quick, and they sent us a survey before our wedding to make sure we captured every shot/special moment. It was helpful to prioritize what mattered to us most. And looking at our wedding album, it’s amazing to see just how much Matt and Nicole listened to everything we said – we really wanted candid shots capturing genuine moments of emotion on people’s faces, as well as fun dance floor pics, and Matt and Nicole delivered!
One of my favorite moments from the wedding: I was determined to get natural, happy pics of my sister, who is autistic and doesn’t really know how to pose for photos. During our family portraits, she was feeling anxious and wasn’t smiling. But Matt pulled me aside and said, ‘you’re going to love the pics we got of her when you guys were getting ready – she had the most natural smile.’ It made me feel so relieved, reassured and deeply understood by someone who had just met my sister for the first time that day. And sure enough, during our photo reveal with Matt and Nicole, I was blown away by all the beautiful, natural looking pics of my sister. I still tear up looking at them!
Finding the right photographer meant more to me than any other wedding partner, and I feel so lucky that we found Matt and Nicole. I highly recommend them for your wedding, engagement shoot, and any other photo needs!

Having Matt & Nicole be our photographers on our wedding day was the best decision we made.
They were able to capture so many amazing moments that we are so grateful for.
The album created out of all the photos from our wedding day is absolutely stunning and we are always receiving compliment’s on it .
Overall their service was fantastic, easy to talk to and work out any questions and concerns regarding the event to make us feel comfortable and confident with the big day.
I would absolutely recommend Matt Stallone photography to any family and friends.

We had the BEST experience with Matt and his team for both of our wedding celebrations (2020 minimony and 2021 vow-renewal/reception). They are SO FUN to work with, and their photos captured our big days in such a magical way that looking through them takes us right back into those special moments.
Matt and Nicole are true professionals - very communicative leading up to wedding day, prompt in their responses and always paying close attention to detail. They worked with us to design an overall package that worked with our vision and budget, and they had great ideas when it came to scheduling photos around our main events. They were very patient and flexible as we changed our plans, and their ability to go-with-the-flow on each day-of avoided a lot of potential stress and ensured we had more than enough spectacular photos, even when things didn't go according to plan.
Matt has a great eye for capturing joy, and we appreciated his ability to set up spectacular portraits while blending into the background for the more candid shots. He is open to new ideas and isn't fazed by goofy poses, chaotic families, energetic puppies, or accidental projectiles. We loved working with him and cannot recommend him highly enough!

Working with Matt and Nicole was one of the easiest decisions my (now) husband and I had made throughout our entire wedding planning experience. In fact, they were the first vendor that we hired once we saw a “sample” album at our venue - it was amazing!
We started working with them shortly after our engagement in 2019 and they immediately made us feel comfortable despite my husband and I being totally awkward in front of the camera. But with Matt, it just felt natural and his vision is like no other! He makes suggestions, he takes suggestions but he also keeps it fun. So much so, that we have now worked with him on 3 separate occasions - our engagement shoot, the ceremony day and the reception day!
That being said, they have been so flexible and accommodating throughout the many changes we had to make to our wedding day due to the pandemic. And as if that’s not enough, they made sure to check in with me to see how I was doing as I worked throughout the entire duration in my position as a night RN. So if that’s not a testament to their character, I don’t know what is.
I truly couldn’t imagine working with anyone else, and would highly recommend! As a matter of fact, my family hired them again for my brothers recent wedding which took place in a completely different season, and it was equally as beautiful. Two different seasonal vibes, but undoubtedly the same amount of love and happiness captured.
Our beautiful album will be cherished for years to come! And we are forever grateful.

Matt and his wife were nothing short of incredible! Our entire experience with them was flawless. Their friendly and professional demeanor created an environment in which everyone felt comfortable and relaxed throughout our entire wedding day. Additionally, the pictures and moments they captured are stunning, and we could not be more pleased with them. They are an absolute pleasure to work with, and I would recommend them to anyone looking to capture those special and intimate moments.

Matt and Nicole were absolutely amazing! My husband and I can't recommend them enough. From the beginning of planning to our reveal, they were always so helpful with answering questions. When we had to postpone from December to June they were so responsive and helpful. On the day of the wedding, Matt had amazing ideas for photographs and he was so nice with coaching us on how to look. We got our photos back and multiple friends and family want to use their services for upcoming events! You would be making the best decision of your life if you book with them.

Matt and Nicole went above and beyond to help make our wedding day everything we could have imagined. Not only are they talented and professional, they're a pleasure to spend time with. They were very helpful with problem solving and keeping things running smoothly. We were already so impressed by them but after we saw the photos we were blown away. They managed to capture all the moments we were looking for in a way that felt true to us. Matt's photos are sophisticated and timeless and we're so grateful to have our wedding memories captured so accurately. Couldn't recommend them more!

Hiring Matt Stallone was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Matt melted together my love for classic Hollywood drama with my husband's love of candid naturalistic photos. Throughout the day Matt asked us to trust him as we took pictures all along the grounds of Rock Island Lake Club, through his intensely creative eye we got the most magical portraits of our big day. Matt was able to chronicle the evening seamlessly. When the evening came and our gallery was revealed Matt and Nicole made the entire night so special. There were too many to choose from because all of them were spectacular. Matt managed to grab all the special moments, large and small from that evening and because of him we’re going to have a tremendous album and incredible family heirloom that will preserve these beautiful memories for years to come.

Matt and Nicole are INCREDIBLE! My husband and I are horrible when it comes to taking nice pictures, but Matt made the whole experience (engagement pictures and wedding pictures) SO comfortable and we are in love with all of our photos! They were also so patient and accommodating with all of our COVID-related planning and replanning. We can't wait to have them again for our big reception in December! We cannot recommend them enough!

If you only hire one vendor for your wedding, make sure it’s Matt Stallone. We cannot say enough wonderful things about him (and Nicole!) as they truly surpassed our expectations. We originally found Matt online and then realized he was a preferred vendor at your venue and were thrilled he was available for our date. Even though our original wedding venue didn’t work out (covid) Matt and Nicole were still able to accommodate us and picked the perfect spot for our wedding day pictures. Day of Matt was an absolute dream and rolled with the punches, rain and all! We finally got our wedding photos back and I am in complete awe of them. It was so hard picking the photos for the album because we loved every single one we saw. I cannot thank him enough for making the process so easy and effortless. Totally recommend for anyone looking for the perfect photographer.

My wife and I are so grateful to have had Matt as our photographer on our very special wedding day. Matt is truly a magician with the camera, able to see and capture the best version of ourselves. After meeting with them and hearing their advice, we agreed to bring on Nicole, and it was totally worth it. Matt and Nicole are a great team; Nicole went far beyond our expectations, helping out where needed to make our day so smooth. That's not to say Nicole didn't take pictures, she did take awesome shots and gave great photo advice. Matt is a ninja, silent, efficient, everywhere and deadly with the camera. He was never in the way of anything, but always there for the important moments. Matt and Nicole take super efficient photos - don't be alarmed by how quickly things move, they are just that good. They take their time to plan out and understand the schedule of the wedding so that there is as little downtime as possible during shots. I'm shy in front of the camera, but Matt and Nicole made me comfortable and helped me look my best. I was very surprised! We took our photos at the park and it was very cold that day, but Matt and Nicole champed it through, even comforting us. Our friends and family were complementing us on how amazing our photos turned out. They also edited the photos in the time they promised which was about a 5 week time frame, but there was Christmas and New Years in between. I wouldn't say this is cheap, but you get what you pay for here, really excellent value. Matt and Nicole are super friendly, down to earth and great listeners. I highly recommend Matt and Nicole.

I wish I could give Matt and Nicole even more stars, it's insane how awesome they are! Our engagement photos turned out gorgeous, despite our awkwardness in front of the camera and the fact that it rained the whole time. And our wedding photos...oh man, I don't even have words for how amazing our wedding photos are! It's safe to say it's the best we've looked in our entire lives, and the physical album we got afterward is such high quality, I've never seen such a beautiful album! I want to make up more fancy life events to have an excuse to hire Matt and Nicole again, they're the greatest!

We found Matt after an issue with our initial wedding photographer, whom we had to cancel, and let me just say that this is truly an example of things happening for a reason! We could not have been happier with his work. From the moment we contacted him, it was smooth sailing. Nicole, his wife and assistant, was so timely and detailed in her communication and truly put us at ease during the planning process. On our wedding day, Matt and Nicole (who we only met THAT day since we did not have an engagement shoot), were just amazing. They were so fun and easy to work with and made taking photos a breeze. It felt like we were just taking photos with friends! Our photos came out just beautiful and our album was excellent. Nicole and Matt made whatever edits we wanted (although there weren't many since the photos were gorgeous to begin with) without hesitation. I cannot say enough good things about these two and would recommend them time and time again!

I cannot be more grateful that I found Matt Stallone and his team of amazing and talented photographers. The pictures were exactly what I hoped for and more stunning than I imagined. I can't help but look back at our day with immense gratitude of how thoughtful and attentive our team was and how creative and natural every single shot looked. Our candid shots on the dance floor were by far the best and captured the party just as it was. Thank you so very much!!

I am so grateful that the Knot algorithm sent me Matt. His aesthetic is everything we were looking for in a wedding photographer. They arrived early and walked around our venue and found these locations for photos that we wouldn’t even have considered. We just received our photos today and we could not be happier. They captured moments that I don’t even remember. The photos are artistic and simply beautiful. We even did a night shoot, which I wouldn’t even have considered and those photos are just WOW.
Matt and Nicole are genuinely nice and down to earth. My husband was a nervous mess on our wedding day and Matt and Nicole really put him at ease. Taking photos with them was easy. If you are looking for someone to take beautiful wedding photos, who don’t add stress or annoy you – go with Matt and Nicole.

I was super particular when it came to choosing my wedding photographer. I looked through numerous portfolios on theknot.com and the only one that really caught my attention was Matt's. Matt actually interviewed my husband and myself before he would work with us as he really prefers to photograph couples that are truly in love. When the big day came, Matt & his wife Nicole were incredibly attentive during the entire day. My husband and I were so eager to get back our pictures because we knew Matt & Nicole did a great job. THE PICTURES WERE BETTER THEN I COULD HAVE EVER WANTED! Matt really took his time to edit each image just so that all the details really came through. He really has an artistic eye. Our families really loved all the photos. So many incredible moments were captured. Matt & Nicole even took time to check out the location and keep an eye open for potential photo opportunities.
I would recommend to anyone! You won't regret it!

My husband and I used Matt for our engagement and wedding photos and cannot begin to say enough great things about his work and their business. Matt and his wife Nicole are so kind and such a pleasure to work with especially during this hectic time of planning. They are quick to respond to any questions or concerns you may have and pricing is extremely fair for the amazing work that they do. My husband and I were blown away by the finished product for both our engagement shoot and wedding day. The photographs were breathtaking and they both did an amazing job capturing all the special moments on our big day, we can't stop scrolling through the images and reliving each moment! I cannot wait to continue to look back on this images for years to come. Matt is a very talented artist and is great at finding different shots and views that one may not originally think of that in the end come out as amazing photos. Again, I cannot say enough great things about Matt and his wife! They are the perfect people to choose to join the wedding journey with you.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars for Matt. When it says 5 stars means the best ever, it’s true!!! I searched long and hard for a photographer. I met with Matt and his personality was so calm and kind, I knew he’d be perfect for my day. His pictures were amazing, exactly what I was looking for. When the wedding day came he was so fun to work with. Him and his wife Nicole made our day so special. Nicole even stepped in to help me because my bridal attendant wasn’t there!! When we got the pictures, we were blown away. I almost cried. They were truly a work of art. I wanted pictures I would remember for years and years. The pictures of my husband and I are beautiful. Every picture for that matter is beautiful, we loved every single one. It was beyond what I could have asked for. Everyone who has seen them is blown away. No doubt in my mind Matt and Nicole were the perfect choice. Trust me on this, you’ll want them on your wedding day!!! I really could go on and on about Matt and and Nicole, they did amazing!!!!

My fiancé and I did our engagement photo shoot with Matt! The whole experience was amazing. First off, Matt and his wife Nicole are so organized and great at communicating. Every time I emailed them I had a response almost right away which we really appreciated. As far as the actual shoot itself, we were really nervous going into it. We had never met Matt in person and we’d never done a photo shoot of any kind together. Matt made it so easy for us. He was so down to earth and easy to talk to. He really encouraged us to relax and to be natural with each other and he did the rest. The pictures came out amazing and we are so thrilled with his work. His editing skills are quite impressive as well! We would 100% recommend Matt as a photographer not only for your wedding/engagement photo shoot, but other occasions too! We will definitely be reaching out to him in the future to work with him again!

My husband and I used Matt and Nicole for our wedding on June 8th. We knew exactly what we were looking for in a photographer, but we had no idea how in love with our photos we would be. They exceeded our expectations. They have been so incredible and easy to work with since day one. One of our first conversations consisted of what we wanted (and didn’t want) for our wedding day. We definitely did not want over filtered photos, over staged or anything cheesy. What we were left with were absolutely gorgeous photos that captured all the love and emotions from our guests, families and ourselves. The photos were genuine, action shots that just show our love for one another. We look forward to looking through our pictures throughout the years to remember the most amazing day of our lives. I would recommend Matt Stallone Photography to anyone, they are truly talented. We can’t thank them enough for delivering perfection on such an important day for us.

My husband and I were married on June 8th, 2018. We knew exactly what we wanted in a photographer, but we never expected to be absolutely blown away by our pictures. Matt & Nicole truly captured all the love and emotion from our wedding day. We discussed what we were looking for prior to the wedding, we knew we didn’t want over filtered pictures, no silly or uncomfortable poses. What we were left with were absolutely gorgeous action shots and natural poses and pictures that we can look at for the rest of our lives that will bring us back to the most beautiful day of our lives. They are so talented and amazing at what they do, and I would recommend them
To anyone! We are so in love with our photos and can’t even begin to thank them from the bottoms of our hearts.

My fiancé and I used Matt for our engagement shoot in NYC. We were beyond impressed with how professional, calming and thoughtful he was. He took the time to make us feel comfortable, and was able to capture truly memorable and empathetic pictures reflecting how we felt in that moment. We wouldn’t dream of using anyone else for our wedding after we were so happy with our engagement pictures. Matt and his wife Nicole provided us with peace of mind on our wedding day. We knew that our pictures would be dramatic, loving and artistic. Nicole helped to keep my schedule and bridal party organized and on time (even when my makeup timeline ran late!) I didn’t feel stressed or pressured by them at all.. and they helped to gently lead me away from the “typical photos” that other photographers do. I know they had shot our venue before, and they made a special point to take photos where no other couples had already been. They made sure to get all of the photos we asked for in advance, and even reminded me that I wanted one with my baby niece when I was wrapped up in the mix of other things! I can’t reccomend more, and I was very happy with the overall service, and product. The rates were fair, and reasonable for such a highly skilled photographer.

We got married less than a week ago so we haven’t gotten photos back yet, but I have nothing but good things to say! We worked with Moses, Stephanie, and Brent for our wedding. They were incredibly professional. They were super nice to everyone and made everyone feel really comfortable. They were not intrusive of our guests at all (I personally hate when photographers pull guests aside and say to pose for a picture). We can’t wait to get our photos!!

Matt is the easiest person to work with, he’s fun and very laid back. Honestly it’s like you just have fun for a few hours then a few weeks later your given an amazing collection of photographs. His techniques are unique and I find the style of his photos to be deep with a touch of fantasy. I was beyond impressed with the professionalism and the end result. I highly reccomend Matt Stallone Photography for both engagement and wedding photos!

I was in my friends bridal party a couple weeks ago and with all the chaos of the day, I feel like I had to write a review for their photographer because they were amazing! The beginning part of the day was great, but we were running 1 hour late for the ceremony! This shortened the time for photos afterwards and my friend, the bride, was very worried they would not have time for any photos with the bridal party or her and her new husband. However, Matt and his wife Nicole were amazing! As soon as they got to the venue, they walked around the property and planned out all the photos. When our bus arrived, we took the bridal party pictures in like 10 minutes, and then the bride and groom got all their photos finished in like 30 minutes! Talk about working efficiently! I have been in wedding parties before, my own wedding included, and I noticed a huge difference between those photographers compared to Matt and Nicole. Matt and Nicole were extremely helpful all day and made everyone calm and collected, and the really made the whole stressful process of being 1 hour late the entire day, seem like it was planned from the beginning! This really shows you that the phrase "you get what you pay for" is really true because any other photographer would have said "f* it!" where as Matt made sure we got all the shots the bride wanted, and still managed to get us all into the ballroom on time for our entrances! If I wasn't already married, I would book with Matt in a second!

We hired Matt for our backyard garden wedding on June 30th and could not be happier! It is still too early to receive our photos (1 week- but we know they will be amazing!!) so I can speak on the experience itself. From the very beginning Matt and his wife Nicole offered quick and efficient communication. Before deciding to work together, he took the time to get to know us and understand who we are as a couple. This was reflected in his process of preparing for our wedding and the quality of his photography the day of. We were super comfortable and relaxed while he photographed and felt that he captured our love with a very natural yet creative approach. It should also be noted that it was a hot, sunny day but his calm demeanor and seamless transitions between photos helped us and our families/bridal parties keep their cool! I've had multiple guests comment on how fantastic he was and that when my husband and I shared fun or special moments, they noticed Matt was smiling too. If it isn't obvious, we would highly recommend using Matt for your special day. We are so very happy we did.

Matt and his wife Nicole were so incredibly patient, caring and easy going. My husband and I are blown away by the photos of our special day. The candids are incredible. They didn't miss a beat. Matt Stallone photography is 100% the way to go.

Matt and Nicole were the absolute best decision we could make for our wedding night. They are so friendly and personable which goes a long way when you are about to be married. They are both extremely talented and work off each other to put us at ease. The pictures we have seen so far (raw) were already amazing. The photographer is the most important part and we definitely lucked out with booking the best available. They were so responsive to our needs and questions and so incredibly creative and organized. They really helped the day run smooth. No one even noticed them during candid shots making the pictures very special. We are both so happy with their work and would recommend anyone getting married to consider them. They really helped make our night special and one we will not forget.

Matt and his wife Nicole were amazing for our wedding! Matt's pictures of us and our wedding were beautiful and Nicole made sure our day was perfect. Nicole was even there to help when I had an issue with my dress during cocktail hour! Matt is incredibly creative and will give you the most unique and beautiful pictures which is what we were looking for! Even after the wedding for our photo album Nicole was super accommodating (and patient!) to make sure we had everything we wanted in our album within our price range. Highly recommend hiring Matt and Nicole for your events!

Matt Stallone was honestly the best decision we could have ever made in a photographer. He was more than worth every dime, I feel like we actually owe him money for the magic he created. He let us be very natural, and made the whole experience very fun. He's super easy to talk to and every photo looked incredible.
He's also some sort of wild ninja. When we recieved the photos I realized he took so many shots from so many different angles and I have NO idea how he got to the different spots to take them in the short amounts of time we were in each location. Truly an incredible talented guy.

Matt and Nicole were absolutely amazing to work with. From speaking with Matt day one he was professional and easy going. His pictures are breathtaking and he and his wife Nicole are so talented. They work so well together and are constantly reassuring you the day of your wedding about everything. Nicole is great and knows all the tricks and hints to help you move things along (ladies if you have a lot of buttons bring a crochet hook!).
We also did an engagement session several months before the wedding, our pictures were amazing and all of our family and friends loved them. Matt and Nicole are great and a must to capture your special day!

I got the pleasure finding out about Matt 01/2016 at a bridal expo in NJ for my wedding 9/30/17. After reviewing his photos, I knew right away that I needed to have him for my wedding! Within about two days, I booked Matt for my wedding. We had our engagement photos done 10/16. We had to change the time and I was running late, and Matt did everything he could to make sure we got our shoot in! Our photos came out AMAZING! I was so impressed! My husband and I are not the type of people who can really stand and be serious and lovey dovey with photos. We prefer to be silly and laugh all the time! Matt figured that our really quickly! He rolled with it, and he was able to capture really amazing photos! When we got closer to our wedding this year, Matt and his wife Nicole were constantly in contact! They wanted to make sure that all of our needs/wants were going to be met during the wedding! I had no doubt in my mind that they were going to capture everything I needed! Come my wedding day, Matt and Nicole (we had a package that had two photographers) showed up early. We toured the venue and spoke about the timeline. They made sure to verify everything to make sure it all went smooth! Let me tell you, it went perfectly! Not only were Matt and Nicole super attentive to all the photos I needed to get in, making sure to get the photos I wasn't even thinking about, they both went ABOVE and beyond for anything we needed! Nicole helped me with my dress, helped the men with their flowers, and many many others things as well! Way too many to even list! Our guests were ranting and raving about how wonderful and helpful our photographers were! We received our preview photos and we are SO happy and over the moon with them! Matt and Nicole did a FANTASTIC job! They are worth every penny to have them capture your wedding! I will recommend them to anyone who is looking for a wedding photographer! We both hope to work with them in the future for other photos! Hire Matt!

Matt was amazing! From the first time we spoke with him on the phone, we knew that he would be great to work with. He made our wedding so easy and fun, we hardly even felt like we were taking photos. Even my mom was impressed with how well he handled our crazy family and how amazing our photos came out! His wife Nicole was also such a big help in the planning process. She answered my emails quickly and helped create a timeline for the day of! If you are getting married and care about an amazing experience you definitely have to book Matt as your photographer!

There are so many great things to say about Matt, I don't even know where to begin. Upon meeting him you will instantly feel how genuine he is. He was such a pleasure to work with and customized a package just for what we needed. His talent speaks for itself and the moments he captures are the world to us. Matt is worth every cent (which by the way, is super reasonable) and I would hire him again in a heartbeat. If you want your memories captured in the most beautiful way possible and pictures that will make you cry, laugh, and relieve your day over and over then Matt is the photographer for you!

Matt and Nicole are absolutely amazing! My husband and I knew that choosing the right photographer was the most important decision we would make for our wedding. As soon as we saw Matt's work we knew it was what we were looking for. He is an absolutely amazing artist, and we are in love with all of our photos. We received our gallery yesterday, and looking through all the photos together we both felt the same emotions that we experienced on that day. It's incredible how he managed to capture both our emotions and personalities so well. There were so many shots that we didn't even know had been taken, and those candid moments are some of the most special. On top of creating beautiful photos, Matt and Nicole are both kind, funny, professional, and extremely easy to work with. They made us feel comfortable with their attention to detail for the wedding day, so we really felt they knew what we wanted. They also helped us relax and be ourselves while we were nervous. I cannot recommend them more highly! Book Matt if you want wedding photos that will make you part of a wonderful work of art and that will move you each time you look at them.

Hiring Matt for our engagement photoshoot and for our wedding was easily the best decision we made! We actually found Matt (before we even found our venue) at a bridal show. He wasn't recommended to us by anyone, his photographs speak for themselves. They are absolutely stunning, and our engagement and wedding photos came out so perfect, my family and I will treasure them forever. Matt is extremely nice, professional, and our families loved him. He is one person, and it amazed me, and everyone that was at my wedding, how many candid shots he got. He's quick and quiet, and you barely even know he is there taking pictures during the ceremony and reception. We will have flawless, timeless, perfect photos of our wedding for the rest of our lives, and we have Matt to thank for that. He is an amazing artist, and everyone should book him for their wedding. I recommend him immediately to everyone I know once I hear they are getting married, and will continue to always do so. Thank you, Matt, for being apart of our big day!

It's impossible to explain just how amazing Matt is as a photographer. There is something so genuine and magical about all of his photographs, as you can probably tell by looking through the few displayed here on The Knot. This (the knot) is where I first found him, and when I saw how his work stood out compared to the other photographers I had been looking at, I knew we had to book him! When my (now) husband and I look through the photos from our wedding day, we see and feel all the emotions all over again from that wonderful day thanks to Matt's ability to capture everything so artfully. Not only that, but he was so calm and casual, putting us at such ease during both our engagement shoot (which I was initially so nervous for, never having had my photo taken professionally) and wedding day! He made sure to make the whole experience fun for us and our loved ones. I and many of my family members cried when we got the unbelievably beautiful pictures back from Matt, and they are now hanging all over our home. And I must add, although we chose the shortest of the packages (8 hours) which didn't include his wife, Nicole, as an additional shooter, I got to correspond with her lots via email and I can tell she is just as wonderful as Matt! I HIGHLY recommend Matt Stallone Photography.

Everything about Team Photo Booth was so wonderful. They are responsive and easy to work with. Having this photo booth at my wedding was a big hit. I don’t think there was ever a moment that it was empty. The quality of the photos are excellent and I love the scrapbook and the online gallery with all the pictures from the day. The backdrop was stunning and looked beautiful in the photos. The props were so fun! I am so happy I went with Team Photo Booth and included them on my wedding day.

Matt did an amazing job with the photos for our wedding! We had seen some of Matt's work on social media, and fell in love with it. Matt Stallone Photography was extremely easy to work with, and they did so much more than just handle our photography. They helped us work out a detailed timeline of the wedding day, and were excellent with us the day of the wedding. They were super professional, respectful, and knew so many amazing shots to do with us. We loved that taking pictures didn't feel posed and awkward, but so natural (which is surprising because neither of us like pictures!) Thank you! We couldn't have been happier!!

I loved working with Matt on our engagement photos! He drove down from Long Island to Princeton, NJ for our shoot and was very personable and fun. He made us feel relaxed after trying to shake off the initial awkwardness. He was open to our suggestions but obviously some of the best shots were the areas he found on the fly as we walked around PU campus. Nicole, Matt's wife, was very helpful and very quick with e-mails with any questions or concerns. We changed our shoot date about three times and it wasn't an issue at all. We couldn't have asked for a better engagement photography team :) We will most likely be using Matt as our wedding photographer as well...

Choosing a photographer for our wedding was one of the biggest decisions we had to make during our wedding planning process. We took our time speaking with many photographers and after talking to Matt, we knew that he was the photographer we wanted for our wedding. It was truly the best decision we made!
Matt and his wife, Nicole, are the most AMAZING team! They are so incredibly friendly and easy to work with, it is like having two more of your friends with you on your wedding day. Matt and Nicole helped to make our wedding day as incredible as it could be with their experience, creativity, and ability to capture each and every emotion and detail. Matt is extremely talented and has creative ideas that capture amazing shots, while Nicole has an eye for detail and the ability to make everyone feel comfortable and excited throughout the day. We were able to relive our wedding day, laughing and crying (tears of joy), looking through our wedding photo album. We highly recommend choosing Matt and Nicole, you will not be disappointed!

Matt was the definition of a professional photographer. Despite my inherent awkwardness and discomfort with taking formal and candid pictures, he did his absolute best to make us look great on our wedding day. His knowledge and experience made sure he hit the traditional portrait shots out of the park, while his artistry yielded simply stunning photographs. I'd recommend Matt for anyone looking for a professional photographer for any occasion. Every penny spent was worth it.

There are not enough amazing words to describe Matt's work. He is a true artist and it shows in every single photo he takes! From our engagement photos to our wedding photos I can't pick a favorite, because I love them all! We actually enlarged 3 of our engagement photos and used them as part of our wedding decor. We just received a snapshot of some of our wedding photos and it brought tears to our eyes. As most brides know, the wedding day flies by in a second and before you know it, the night is over. Seeing these photos for the first time, helped to bring back all the amazing memories and emotions we felt on our special day! There is no one else in the world I would rather have capture our wedding day, than Matt! He knew exactly what to do and say to calm us down and make us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Half the time, I didn't even realize he was there. We were lucky enough to have amazing weather and he captured the most beautiful sunset for us. When I look at those shots it brings tears to my eyes because I'm so in love with the beauty that he captured. Half way through our reception, he came up to us and said, "I don't want to take you away from your night, but there is a beautiful moon right now and I don't want to miss it." Boy am I happy he did that! Those photos are breathtaking. Not only did we get beautiful photos, but we got a second to breath and enjoy the fresh fall air outside! I cant wait to receive the rest of our photos and fall in love all over again. Everything about Matt and his work is perfect! I highly, highly recommend using Matt Stallone Photography for your wedding. I promise, you wont regret it!

We couldn't have asked for a better team to help capture our special moments during the most important day of our lives. Matt and Nicole made it possible, for us to have our moments forever captured for us to enjoy for years to come. They were patient, eased our nerves, made us laugh and made the entire experience an enjoyable one for us. We were blown away when we received our pictures and we are forever grateful for their dedication to us and their incredible talent. We would choose the over and over again if we had to! :)

Matt was perfect! Everything I could have asked for in a photographer. He was fun and easy to work with, and his wife Nicole was such a big help with everything too. We even had some sticky family situations and they both made the formal family photos a breeze. Not to mention the amazing pictures we received. Matt captured the most wonderful moments shared between my friends and family, times I didn't even know he was there. I cannot wait to sort through them all and order our album and some prints! You would be crazy not to hire Matt!

Matt definitely has a talent for finding the right shots! Our engagement photo session in Dumbo was beautiful. Matt's style is so relaxed that it's easy being in front of the camera. He is also very creative - he was able to turn a bit of bad weather into a world class shot! We highly recommend Matt!! He also knows his pasta as he told us about an amazing Italian Restaurant in Brooklyn.

Look, I want to do more than just echo the rave reviews that are already populating this page and make something perfectly clear: Matt Stallone, and his amazing wife and partner Nicole, are artists, and geniuses, and pros, and when your day is over and gone you will only have your memories and THESE PHOTOS. Anyone can document your day and who was there, Matt will bring it to life for you over and over again. He captured our feelings and our personalities in these photos, and I feel humbled and proud to be the subject of such incredible art.
Your day is magical, but imagine the power to relive it anytime you like for the rest of your life. To be able to share the images of those memories with your children in a way that will truly transport them to your moment. To be able to say that your day and your love was the subject of this sensational artwork. I have a very short list of possessions that I would say I deeply treasure, one or two family heirlooms, letters from my grandfather, my engagement ring, my pets and these photos.
So if you are reading this and looking for a photographer I recommend the following:
Step one: check Matt's availability.
Step two: change your wedding date to coincide with Matt's availability.

So excited that we are using Matt Stallone Photography for our wedding! Our wedding is next summer but we just took our engagement photos a few weeks ago. I have to say I have a hard time being the center of attention and having photos taken of me. Matt put my fiancé and I completely at ease and was so laid back and easy to work with. We just got our engagement photos back and we cannot believe how incredible they came out! I posted the photos on Facebook and my family and friends cannot stop commenting on how beautiful and romantic the photos are. My one friend said they even brought her to tears. Choosing Matt was once of the best decisions we have made so far in the planning process and we cannot wait until our wedding so we can see how he captures our special day. We would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone! Thank you Matt!!!!

We did an engagement session with Matt and I am in awe of how beautiful they turned out. We felt totally comfortable and natural during the session and he tried a lot of different things which was awesome because there ended up being a lot of variety in the pictures. I highly recommend working with Matt!!! It was super fun and we felt and looked like the most beautiful versions of ourselves.

Matt is amazing! My husband and I did a small courthouse wedding, but I knew I still wanted great photos that showed our love story and that we could cherish forever. Matt went above and beyond our expectations! He was so friendly and fun to take photos with even during a pretty cold and windy day. He made us both comfortable, which I think is really evident in the final pictures. He's very professional, punctual and communicative. We got our pictures back in great time and I can't stop looking at them. Overall working with Matt was a pleasure and I will definitely be reccomending him to all of my engaged friends.

We are totally in love with Matt and his gorgeous work! He was the perfect photographer for our intimate wedding in Hampton Bays, NY and a reception that was a few days later in Bayville. The pictures were absolutely stunning!! I was floored with how perfect they were and how Matt was able to capture everything. He seemed to be everywhere all at once. He was so unassuming on our wedding and blended in seamlessly with all the guests. He was such a dream to work with especially when I changed plans on him last minute. (A few days before our engagement shoot, I decided I wanted to have a powered color war with our kids. He didn't even flinch at the change. In fact encouraged it!) He so beautifully captured the feel, romance, and fun of our wedding. Nothing looks staged or forced, even the family pictures. There was a nor'easter on our wedding and you would have never known in the photos. I will definitely be throwing events simply to have Matt work with us again. I am just so thrilled, grateful, and in awe. Matt - your photos bring tears to my eyes. Thank you for your work and leaving us with timeless memories that will last a lifetime.
- Kate and John

Where do I begin. My husband and I had no idea what to do when the week before our wedding we found our we had to postpone it due to a serious family situation. Matt was more than accommodating and when we were able to reschedule the big day, he was great! He didn't overwhelm us, got some pretty incredible shots from what I saw of the previews and I can't wait to get all of the proofs! From what I saw on our engagement shots, he has an incredible eye for shots and doesn't take the redundant wedding shots everyone has. The photo booth was a blast for everyone!
Matt really touched us when we had to reschedule our wedding. We had set up a small ceremony at my husbands parents since my mother in law was very ill so that she could see us get married prior to rescheduling our big wedding. When Matt saw that we got married that day on Facebook, he immediately emailed me and offered at no charge to come take photos just to capture the bittersweet memory we were making with our family. He was absolutely touching and so great to work with!

I'm so glad we decided to work with Matt! From the first interaction with him throughout he was nice, down-to-earth, incredibly reasonable, and very professional. He asked us what we wanted and tried to deliver on it. His photos (so far we've gotten the engagement shoot and a few preview pics from the wedding itself) were gorgeous, really the best pics of myself ever, which is what you want! He captured some really lovely moments and definitely knows what he's doing with lenses and manipulating light/dark. Good price, what we expected to pay. Overall just really great. Also very relaxed and understated day of, definitely felt like he and Nicole melted into the crowd, did not feel that he was pulling us out of the moment or interfering in the party in any way. Thank you so much Matt!
