Matthew Danser Photography

Matt and his second photographer were wonderful. The pictures came out looking amazing, and the two of them were gracious, professional, understanding, and all-around wonderful to work with. They were on time, ready to go, and even helped my father set up his phone on a tripod in the back of the room to record some of the ceremony for my 99-year old grandmother who couldn't make it. Thank you so much for helping make our wedding such a perfect day we will never forget.

Matthew was very easy to work with, very accommodating to our schedule and needs. He provided high quality work and was helpful throughout the course of our working relationship. Strongly recommend his services.

Matthew and the photographer he brought with him (I forget her name, but she was amazing too) were so incredibly kind, fun, and professional. Working with Matt was a total breeze and one of the few painless processes we went through with our wedding. I can't recommend Matt enough.

We were very happy with Matt’s photography and professionalism. He met with us for about an hour a month before the wedding to go over the timeline, picture requests and any pertinent family information. He and his partner arrived on-time and immediately got to work. He was very willing to accommodate our timeline and last minute requests. We got our pictures back very promptly. The staged photos were very thought out and well executed. But the candid photos blew us away. He and his partner were everywhere without being seen. The reception was such a whirlwind for us. We appreciate seeing all the fun our friends and family had when we weren’t looking. Thanks again Matt for a memorable experience.

Super communicative and flexible. Matt did a great job with our photos and was always responsive to emails. He also met some tight turn around times for my portrait.

Matt was our photographer at our small wedding on 9/1/22. We enjoyed half of the photos that we received but were disappointed by the other half. Even our family and friends said they were bad. Half of the photos were very unflattering (mouths open from people talking, double chins from people looking down, glares on people's faces from awkward angles). I regret him not taking pictures of our rings. We were very accommodating and invited him to sit and eat with us at the reception. He said we didn't pay when we did a month in advance, also the pictures took a week longer than what his contract said, and he misnamed my husband as Greg and not Gabe on the photo file. I gave an average pretty good 3 stars rating because we are going to use half the photos so, not bad and not the best. Once he saw that he had gotten an average honest rating, he started lying saying I was giving out bad reviews, then he rudely started sending me hateful emails because he wants nothing but 5 stars regardless of how a couple feels. I guess once he gets your money he doesn't care how long it takes or how the photos look...and if you don't give him 5 stars then he'll start bashing you. Worst experience ever and can't accept responsibility for poor quality photos.

Matt was professional and friendly, extremely helpful, and just great to work with. He went above and beyond to be helpful during our wedding, actually running out and grabbing something we'd forgotten from the store as a kind favor. His photography is excellent, the hiring process was painless, and he was the perfect choice to help us commemorate our wedding day.

Matt is absolutely amazing! Not only are his photos amazing, but his personality is too. He was so sweet and friendly to all my friends and family! Everyone adored him! Price was great too, especially for the quality of photos we got!!!! He doesn't try to rip you off, like a lot of wedding photographers these days! Can't wait for my next big event-we will absolutely use him again!!!!!!! He made my big day so easy and relaxing!

Matt was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. He was extremely communicative with us after we had to postpone our wedding multiple times due to covid. He showed up exactly on time, got all of the photos that we had specifically requested, and so many more beautiful moments. The area around our venue wasn’t exactly the best for photos but he worked with us on the space we had and made everything look beautiful. We’re not the type to have our photos taken often and I was nervous about it being awkward, but he made us feel at ease and told us exactly what to do! On top of all of that, he got our edited photos back to us SO quickly! Definitely can’t recommend him enough :)

Matthew is an awesome photographer. He is extremely polite and captured so many beautiful moments during my wedding. He really went above and beyond his call of duty.

Matt was absolutely amazing, I am so glad we found him to photograph our wedding. He was professional and also easy to talk to. There was a mask mandate in effect during our wedding and he had no problem following guidelines. The photos are unbelievable. He managed to capture every moment and we have a great mix of fun and serious photos. I highly recommend him!

Wonderful photographer! Really knows what he is doing! He is very laid back so he will definitely not stress you out on your wedding day! He gets all the best photos but it doesn't even feel like he is there! Such a great experience!!

Matt was amazing to work with! He was professional, yet laid back and easy/fun to work with not only on my wedding day, but also during my wedding portrait session. He always seemed to be in the background covering as much as he could. I would definitely recommend using him!

This may be a duplicate review but Matt deserves it anyways. He was so professional, punctual, and personable. He made us all feel comfortable on our wedding day and we were able to do things how we wanted. I love how our pictures turned out. To me, this is one of the most important vendors for a wedding, since it captures the memories of your day & Matt didn't disappoint.

Matthew completed my bridal portrait shoot and took photographs at my ceremony. He is very professional and an attentive photographer. Matthew was very patient and understanding when we postponed our initial wedding date due to COVID-19 restrictions. He was very flexible with his schedule and was able to accommodate the wedding date change. I had a great time working with him and will highly recommend if you are in need a photographer. I will also keep Matthew in mind for my own future events!!!

Matt was extremely professional and simultaneously creative. He had tremendous ideas and tool great care of us. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. 10/10 would recommend!

We loved Matt as our wedding photographer! He really captured the feel of our wedding and did a great job making sure we got all the shots we wanted!

My husband Jake and I loved working with Matt! He is so kind, professional and fun. His wonderful personality was quite comforting on a day that can be celebratory yet stressful. We hired Matt for our small backyard wedding in May 2021. Matt's initiative, insight, (and patience!) in taking shots was great. And our families loved having him with us on our special day! Definitely recommend Matt for wedding photography. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Matt was the perfect photographer for our wedding! He went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and was extremely easy to communicate with. His photos turned out amazing and he captured a good mix of candid shots that we couldn’t be happier with. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone in the area!

Matt was an amazing photographer for our wedding day. I was so impressed with his professionalism and flexibility as we dealt with COVID-19 requirements and changes. Matt was low-key all the way-- just what a bride needs as she's suffering from decision-fatigue from planning every other detail. He arrived early on the wedding day and was such a professional the whole time. I hardly knew he was there as he snapped the most precious pictures of us and our families before the ceremony. He travelled between where I got ready and where my husband got ready without a hitch. And again at the venue, I hardly knew he was there. BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE-- Even though all of that was fantastic, THE BEST PART were the pictures. He got the perfect lighting and the perfect poses. Cute ones, serious ones and ones that we will treasure forever. Matt really captured how happy and grateful we were just to get married during the pandemic. I highly recommend him. He is a talented photographer and a joy to work with.

Matthew Danser was a wonderful choice for our photographer. Matthew worked with us to find our perfect package, took our recommendations of photos we wanted, and was patient with us during the wedding day! We loved our photographs! They were perfect!

We cannot say enough great things about Matt. He is wonderful to work with - professional, has great ideas, and he makes you feel at ease. We decided to go ahead and get married during the pandemic, and Matt came through for us, never hesitating. We love our pictures and glad we chose him as our photographer. You can’t go wrong with him!

Matthew was the first (and only) photographer we met with. After the first meeting we knew that he would be a perfect fit to our perfect day. He was prompt, creative, flexible and extremely fun to work with. The package deals were incredible and definitely worth the money. On the day of the wedding he showed up on time and got right to work, capturing everything. Matthew worked with every idea that we had for pictures and shot every photo that we requested. His partner was an absolute delight and was just as amazing. We recieved our pictures a week after the wedding, they were edited and exquisite. Just a short time after we recieved our photo book! The quality is outstanding and is one of our favorite pieces from the wedding. If we ever need any other photos done in the future he will definitely be first on our list.

Matt did an amazing job capturing the joy and emotion of our day! He and his cophotographer were at the venue early to capture the preparation moments of the day. His photographs allow us to relive the emotions of the day and are all beautiful. The turn around time was excellent <3 weeks! We had an incredibly hard time narrowing our photos down for our album because they all contained such great feelings and memories of the day.

My husband and I used Matt for both our engagement shoot and our wedding. \We loved our engagement photos and used them on our invitations and save the dates. We also got them printed to display at our wedding. When our wedding day finally came, Matt showed up early - which spoke volumes. We got our photos back incredibly fast and let me tell you....THEY WERE GORGEOUS. We have so many favorites. Overall, Matt was incredibly professional and did a phenomenal job at capturing our special day. Seeing that photos were on of our top 2 priorities, we highly recommend!

How can I even begin!? Besides marrying my husband, hiring Matt to be our photographer had to be one of the best decisions I made. He went above and beyond and captured a side of us, our family and guests that we would never have been able to see without him. We will treasure the photos he took forever. Do not hesitate.... Matt is who you want!!! KILLED IT.

Matt was professional and creative. He listened to our needs/wishes and captured the emotion of our ceremony and party. He delivered a beautiful photo series that allows us to relive that incredibly special day.

We met Matthew six months before our wedding based on his impressive portfolio. We wanted "in the moment " pictures , which he excels at . He walked us through his services and was very professional from the beginning. He spent a lot of time capturing every possible important moment the day of our wedding and we could not be more happy with the results . He did a great job of being present while allowing us to do our thing . Highly recommended!

Matthew deserves 5 stars! His photographs for us were amazing and he was attentive to our family/friends ordering. He did a fantastic job for our destination wedding for the rehearsal dinner/wedding/reception!

Matt did an amazing job shooting our wedding! He managed to capture all of the important moments and got so many good candid moments. He also helped us capture the perfect sunset shot. He was very nice to work with and delivered way more images than I expected. He was also very accommodating for a more casual wedding without all of the more typical "events". I would highly recommend him!

Matt Danser and his assistant, Carlos, where so much fun to work with!! They fit seamlessly into our wedding day... and honestly felt like part of the wedding party by the end of the night (in a good way)! They were never in the way of a guest's line of sight during the ceremony, however, were always present in the correct place at the correct time to capture the moment. They were there for ~8 hours throughout the entirety of our wedding day on 4/8/2017: makeup application through the sparkler getaway at midnight. I would choose NO OTHER photographer.

Let me preface by saying that I'm really picky when it comes to photography - I'm actually a 5 star photographer on here myself :-) Saying that, Matt is a photographer's photographer. He has great packages, is flexible and very professional. He did everything I wanted to do if I could clone myself and more. He was non-intrusive, but managed to get every important moment and the photos came out fantastic. The lighting and composition are spot on his technical skill are good enough you won't see overly photoshopped images in his portfolio. He is consistent and every image is solid. I am glad that our special day has been documented by someone so talented. Beyond being skillful Matt is just a nice guy. He's the type of person you'd be happy to kick back and have a drink with. You can tell he really enjoys what he does and it shows in his work ethic and attitude. To sum it up - check out his work and talk to him. You won't be disappointed!

Matt was incredible! We couldn't have been more thrilled with how our photos turned out. He is a steal for the price and I can't say enough great things about him. My selling point was that he knows how to flatter people (especially girls!) and provide excellent quality all around. Tip -- it's totally worth adding on the second photographer to a package. Thanks Matt!

Matt did a fantastic job - he perfectly captured the style and feeling of our wedding. We really wanted to emphasize the colorfulness of the occasion, and he made sure that all our pictures were full of life. He was always available for questions before and after the wedding, and he was always punctual. I've had several friends ask who took our pictures because they came out so great. I give Matt my full recommendation.

I simply cannot imagine having picked a more amazing photographer to work with for our wedding than Matthew! From our first meeting at Whole Foods, I was beyond excited. Matthew's work speaks for itself, and I had zero doubts that he would create anything less than the best memories. Matthew shot both our engagement and wedding photos, and it was great to get to know him in a more relaxed fun setting first. When I saw our engagement photos, I was in love and knew we'd made the best decision. Throughout the entire process, Matthew was very professional, knowledgeable, and obviously passionate about his work. When it came to our wedding day, he put everyone at ease while still capturing the most beautiful shots, usually when we didn't even realize he was there! We loved the second photographer, Carlos, as well. We are simply blown away by our gorgeous wedding photos and I can't recommend Matthew and services more highly!

He and his helper were great! We got all the images we were looking for and nice candids too. He helped keep the ball rolling with family shots even when it started raining, and we ended up with some creative ideas that ended up awesome. Also our photo booth was a great success and everyone talked about it later, definitely added some fun to the party. Thanks Matt, we'd recommend you to everyone!

Totally blown away!! Matt was so professional and gave us the Best engagement pictures!! I highly recommend Matt for any event!

Matt Danser is an amazing photographer! He's super friendly and professional, and has great ideas and suggestions. He shot our engagement photos and they turned out amazing! Before our photo shoot with Matt, my husband and I probably only had a handful of pictures together where both of our eyes are open and where weren't smiling awkwardly. Matt made us feel so comfortable and relaxed, and our engagement photos turned out gorgeous! He's the best!

I planned a long-distance wedding, so I didn't have the opportunity to meet with Matthew before our wedding. He was AMAZING to work with - prompt, efficient, professional and so easy-going. Our photos are spectacular, and our favorites are the ones we didn't even know he was snapping. If given the opportunity, I will absolutely work with him again. He's worth every penny!

We felt like we clicked with Matthew from our very first meeting! He was a pleasure to work with and extremely professional. I remember thinking all throughout the reception that he was there to capture every special moment, but he never felt the least bit intrusive. We are still waiting to see pictures, but I know that we will not be disappointed!

My husband and I were thoroughly impressed with Matthew. He was very easy to work with and answered all our questions upfront before the wedding. We barely new he was there taking photos. He was very approachable during the wedding and always got the best shots of us. He is a true professional and highly recommended for all your photography shoots.

Matthew is amazing! He had shot our friends' wedding and took a picture that became our favorite picture of us together. We decided that when we got married that if we could, we wanted the same photographer. We had a very small ceremony with just some close family on a Wednesday, and the only thing we decided we wanted to spend money on was quality photography. We are so glad we did! The pictures are priceless and you'd never guess we had such a small wedding. It's pretty incredible too considering we only had about an hour for the whole thing, but now have well over 100 gorgeous photos. His prices are also more than fair and unlike many photographers he doesn't copyright his photos. Instead, he gives you a dropbox with all the high-resolution, beautifully edited photos. A++++ would hire again.

Very professional! Puts you at ease immediately. He had great ideas for poses and locations. I will use him for all of my photography needs.

I was soooo incredibly happy with how my pictures turned out, as well as how great my entire experience was! Matt is very professional, talented and so much fun to work with. I would recommend him for any occasion and would love to use him again in the future! Thanks so much for capturing those memories that will last a life time :)

Matt took the photos for our small "outdoor" wedding last March. We got POURING rain all day and moved the event inside where the space was quite tight and the light wasn't so great. But somehow, in that cramped, dim space, Matt captured the day in amazing bright colors. And when we did family pictures on the covered front porch... Matt stood back in the rain to shoot them: he was drenched but totally cheerful and patient and still got the babies to smile. We couldn't have asked for a nicer, more accommodating, or more talented wedding photographer. The pictures are more beautiful than I ever imagined. Thank you again and again Matt!!

Matt truly is a one of a kind photographer! My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Matt for both our engagement and wedding photos. We are SO glad that we chose him because he is truly exceptional at what he does. He is professional, extremely talented, reasonably priced and just a cool guy! I'm someone who feels awkward in front of a camera but he made taking pictures for our engagement shoot fun! At the wedding he got AMAZING shots- I was blown away!! He took all the shots I had on my shot list in addition to capturing other shots I hadn't thought of. He is a genius with lighting! We are beyond pleased with our final product . All of our family and friends that we have shared our photos with have also commented on how amazing our photos are. We will be using him in the future for any professional photos we want. I will definitely be recommending Matt to anyone I know who needs a photographer as well! 5+ stars!!!

My husband and I looked at portfolios and prices for wedding photographers for weeks, knowing that we needed a true professional to handle our huge family portraits (my father is one of seven siblings, and my husband's mother is one of eight siblings!). Matt did an absolutely wonderful job moving the family members kindly, efficiently, and most importantly, quickly (!!), without anyone even really noticed that he was doing it. No one else in my family has been able to do an entire-family shot at their weddings because there just hasn't been enough time or organization! Matt made it happen, and made (literally) a hundred people happy in doing it. As for the bride and groom shots, I am not much of a "girly-girl," but Matt MELTED MY TOMBOY HEART. The photos are so beautiful and so sweet. We were so grateful that he climbed out onto rocks in the middle of a river so that I could get the photo of my dreams. Matt is such a champ! He is kind, funny, sweet, and one of the hardest-working people that I have ever met. I know that other people have said it in reviews, but it is true--Matt is like a ninja! He got some truly incredible shots and I NEVER saw him. Amazing stuff. His photos of our ceremony are spot-on. Seriously, if you want someone with a true creative talent, photography experience for their entire lifetime, and a wonderful way with people, look no further. You just found him. Sincerely, Keith and Jenna (married 5/24/2015)

Working with Matt and his assistant was a fabulous experience. No stress...they took a TON of pictures and were never in the way. The only thing that could have gone a bit smoother was the post ceremony posed group pictures. That was slightly unorganized but nothing got missed so in the end it was fine. I chose Matthew because of his photojournalistic approach to weddings. I did not hire a videographer with the hope and expectation that Matthew would capture that in his photos. He did. I love them! He is a great guy to work with and I highly recommend him!

Though we were married in Austin, my husband and I live in New York, so we weren't sure how to find the right photographer. Well, we did. Matthew Danser (Matt) was the perfect blend of easy-going and professional, and his commitment to capturing the moments that fill your special day as well as skillful use of light/angles won us over. Photography is clearly a passion of his, but it goes beyond that. Matt knows that his work will tell the story of the most special day of your lives, and when he spoke about the time he puts into preparing the photos after the wedding is over, we knew we'd found exactly what we were looking for. During the wedding (as well as the Sunday brunch, which he also photographed), Matt worked tirelessly. He captured everything and everyone, even photos we didn't think to ask him for. Our events (wedding and Sunday brunch) included photos indoors and outdoors, daytime and nighttime, and both posed and candid. He managed it all seamlessly, and the photos are beautiful, sometimes breathtaking! We've thoroughly enjoyed looking through every last one of them, and they really do tell the story of the weekend. Everyone looks their best, and Matt works magic with lighting. Simply put, he captures the event in a way that is thoughtful, polished, and timeless. There are some things about a wedding that can go off script without ruining the entire weekend, but photography is not one of them. Don't leave it to chance. Hire Matthew Danser. Thank you Matt for the work and these memories! All our best, Kenny and Shawn

I cannot rave enough about my experience with Matthew Danser Photography. Our wedding was a destination wedding to Austin. Because I had to organize much of the wedding from out of the state, I was worried about working with vendors from afar. Matthew was so responsive and helpful! He was readily available for questions prior to the event and was incredibly responsive to our needs during the event. We have so many exceptional pictures - both posed and candid. I could not ask for better quality for the price. Matt's work is exceptional. I am highly pleased with the final product. I would recommend his services without any reservation. Thanks, Matt! Bri and Mike Gilason

Matt is such a great guy! He met with me multiple times to discuss ideas for the photography at the wedding. He traveled to my hotel for prep pics, and had his 2nd hand man follow Trent some. He works so hard and will give you the best quality photos and in a short amount of time, you have your photos and are in awe. Matt was creative and took the pics that I wanted as well. During the wedding, I hardly noticed him, which is great - those will be wonderful candid photos. Thanks Matt for working with us on engagement and wedding photos. Wish we could do it all again!

There was something about Matthew's photos that caught my eye, and I wanted to meet with me. I am a girl who knows what she wants, and after I met Matthew, I knew that he would be a great fit for our wedding! We had an engagement session and our pictures turned out wonderful! I could not wait to have a bridal session and of course, to see our wedding photos. My bridal session was magical... I can't tell you how many people loved my pictures. Then came our wedding photos.... I re-lived the entire day while looking through the photos! The day goes by so quickly, and when it is all done, you wonder what the heck you did all day! Everything seems like a blur, and each photo brought back a memory that was special and worth remembering. I want to use Matthew for our family photos and every other special occasion that we can come up with! You better believe I am telling all my friends about him if they are planning a wedding!

Matthew and his assistant covered our wedding beautifully. I loved his style of capturing the beauty in un-posed shots as well as the formal shots as well. We had terribly dark and dreary weather, but Matthew was able to make everything look warm and gorgeous. He was great at communicating and I was incredibly pleased and I'm glad that we have so many wonderful images captured to remember our wedding by. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone!

We hired Matt instantly after our first meeting with him. His work we had seen on his site was flawless. When we met up at a Starbucks, my then fiancé and I just knew he was the guy for the job! We could tell he was a great person to work with - honest, personable, extremely knowledgeable and had passion for his field. We didn't even meet with any other photographers and booked him the next day because of the confidence we had in him after that first meeting. My now husband and I cannot even put in words how breathtaking our photos are. We literally gasped as we went through the images together. The pictures have so much life and captured the emotion of all the different parts of the day. Matt is one of the most talented photographers. He rightfully holds his Top of The Knot titles. We can assure you that you won't be disappointed in any photo and you just need to book Matt now if you are considering him! We had a blast with him, he was so fun to work with! He will be our photographer for life!! Thank you Matt for your incredible work and capturing our day! Mary & Larry Carmichael

So I kept reading the photos are the only thing that the bride and groom have after the wedding to remember it by and the day will go by so fast you want to make sure you have a great photographer to catch it all. That being said I read tons of reviews and looked at endless websites and found Matt. We were lucky he had availablity for our big day and after our first meeting it was obvious what a great guy to work with Matt is. His work is impeccable and our photos are amazing. Matt captured our day including all the details and our weddings vibe. He was so helpful by quickly answering all my questions and making the photography one thing I did not have to worry about. Matt is professional and talented. I can not recommended him enough for any couple.
