Matthew Pautz Photography

yle and we enjoyed talking with him during our initial meeting. We decided to go with the 10 hour package and the engagement session. We didn’t really think we needed to do an engagement session but we’re very glad we did. The pictures were taken in Greenville, SC and it was a great opportunity for us to interact with Matthew a little before the big day and practice taking photos together. The pictures definitely exceeded our expectations and Matthew made the experience not as awkward as we were expecting. For the wedding day Matthew came to my Airbnb to capture getting ready photos and his assistant photographer went to my husband’s Airbnb. They were both extremely professional and very flexible, especially when our ceremony went 90 minutes over. He kept checking in to make sure we got what we wanted and made the most of our shortened timeline. He sent us a sneak peak of about 70 photos a few days after the wedding and the rest about 6 weeks later, right on time despite the fact that it’s wedding season and he likely has a lot on his plate. We were blown away by the photos and we’re so glad we went with Matthew. Would 100% recommend!!

sneak peak within a few days.

eat news is that Matthew travels and has a special package for travel weddings, because we live in another state. Matthew is so good we even have friends booking him now from our area. The Wedding Day- Matthew and his team were phenomenal, nothing short of raw talent, hard work, and super hero abilities. I felt very comfortable with Matthew and team in our bridal suite, capturing precious memories with my bridesmaids and my mom as we got our hair and makeup done. The day had a perfect flow. Just like the drummer keeps the band together in rhythm, Matthew keeps the day together with his experience and direction. Matthew has the talent to capture real in-the-moment, raw, candid photos like no one I have ever seen. We are in love with our wedding photos, and we get so many compliments on them. I can't get over how superb the photos are and how many photos we got, I can't choose which ones I like best because everything from the first look, the ceremony, the reception and beyond are all equal contenders. We are super happy with Matthew and our photos, would book him again in a heartbeat.

ing "I do", so we did a lot of research before selecting a photographer. These are the memories we have of our special day to hold onto forever - and they turned out BEAUTIFUL! We received hundreds of photos that we will forever cherish. I highly recommend Matthew to other brides!

"posed" pictures, and he more than delivered. Once we received our printed album there was a small mistake with it - from the third-party vendor not Matthew. However, he sprung to action and made sure it was immediately corrected. I highly recommend choosing Matthew for your photo needs as he exceeded our expectations. He is a great photographer and even better person.

the day of he kept us on track with our timeline, was a calming presence, and was great getting our large families organized for group pictures. He was also discrete during our ceremony and reception, and I honestly forgot he was there! After our wedding we were SHOCKED by how amazing our photos turned out and they will be forever loved!

es. When my husband and I met him, we knew that he was going to be our photographer! Since we did not have a videographer, I wanted a photographer to make up for that and he sure did!

ur special day the way he could. We just received our wedding photos back and I was blown away! He was wonderful to work with and his work speaks for itself! I highly recommend him!!!

lite and his energy is incredible. We were quickly sold. Matthew is quick to communicate, incredibly polite, and shares a great energy. Leading up to and on our wedding day, he was wonderfully respectful, professional, and he engaged with us and our guests exactly as we requested. He is so creative and captured everything we asked for, as well as everything important that my wife and I never thought of. He captured our wedding in VERY high quality. He had a great turn-around time on the photos and he did not skip a single step. They all look fantastic! We were provided photos with the highest resolution, as well as a matching photo that is formatted perfectly for sharing on social media - what a smart idea. He also photographed my wife's bridal session and those photos are absolutely flawless. He fit his way in with all our other vendors, namely the videographer and DJ. The wedding went seamlessly, and we have Matthew to thank for a lot of that. Top notch guy. I recommend him to everyone.

as photographing our wedding, it truly felt like we had a friend helping us. We received our wedding photos back extremely quickly, and it was such a treat! The photos are absolutely stunning. Matthew really captured our day in a special way. I can't stop looking through the photos! Choosing Matthew as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we could have made!

the "typical/traditional" style of wedding photos I had seen when all of my friends got married, but I can say without a shadow of a doubt my husband and I are OBSESSED with our photos from Matthew! We have gotten multiple compliments on our photos in addition to guests saying that Matthew was wonderful the day of the wedding (which he was). Seriously, he is so easy and so much fun to work with. He is quick and you won't even know he is there (unless you want to find him to take a group photo...also easy to do).

As I look back on our wedding photos, I tear up every time, reliving each moment as if I was there. This is because the photos capture the purest of emotions, they aren’t staged, but rather Matthew expertly captured each special moment as it happened. I truly could not recommend Matthew more highly, he was a pleasure to work with, timely, communicative and our photographs are more than I could have ever asked for! Prior to the wedding, Matthew made us feel comfortable as we took our engagement photos. He took time to get to know our personalities and make sure that our relationship and love were the focus of our beautiful photographs. Because he did such a wonderful job with our engagement photos, I had no worries that he would do a wonderful job at the wedding. I have been to so many weddings where I see the photographer everywhere – they are in the middle of every special moment, making sure they get it on film. But to be honest, I can’t remember seeing Matthew once during the entire wedding, yet every moment is expertly photographed. In my personal opinion, wedding photographs are one of the most important decisions you make for a wedding and I believe I made the best choice possible in choosing Matthew Pautz to do our wedding photographs.

ity to his photos. They're fun, cool and candid. I only wish we would have taken more outdoor photos, because he can take a breathtaking landscape shot. He is such a talented photographer, and just an all around fun and genuine guy. He took so many extraordinary photos at our wedding, and we really enjoyed having him there. Honestly, we felt lucky to have him there. Hire him. He will not disappoint.

d relaxed and makes photographing you as comfortable as possible!

ed a number of bad weather days that could have been even more frustrating if the photographer was not as flexible. His approach to photography will leave you with the most incredible memories - you’ll want to cover your house with them.

. I knew right away that he was it, the same way I knew my dress the second I saw it. I believe in trusting your gut and instinct. His work makes you feel something. It isn’t posed and forced. This partially comes from his background in photography, continuous drive to learn, and a natural ability. Working with Matthew is a joy. He even made a believer out of my husband, who was impressed with his skill and knowledge. He’s adventurous and loves a challenge or new opportunity. He was super responsive and had a plethora of suggestions when I needed help or advice. His knowledge of venues and settings in South Carolina was so helpful and refreshing. On our wedding day, it felt like hanging out with a friend. He really gets to know you and capture that. There were so many times throughout the day that I would look over and see something and be like man that would be a beautiful picture. When I looked through the album he sent me, there they all were. He’s proactive and also captured so many beautiful things I never even got to see the day of. He really sees people and captures all those little moments, because those are the big ones. I cried over so many pictures because they are such a treasure. Of all the vendors we booked for our wedding, Matthew was above and beyond the best. He is not only an exceptionally gifted photographer but a wonderful person as well.

.

t he is a joy to be around as well. I couldn't be happier with our photos and I would recommend him to any bride looking! Thanks Matthew!!!!

d sunset photography sessions, bridal portraits and of course, our wedding. I've never seen such a laid back and fun yet completely perfectionist in technique photographer. He knows how to take the little off handed events and create masterpieces. I love all of our photos! He's so fun and flexible to work with. Don't even think about anyone else. He's worth every penny. :)

know his clients and incredible raw talent put him at the top of my list both personally and professionally. We are beyond thrilled with the outcome of our photos, not to mention the amazing turnaround time for processing! We've had many friends and family speak wonders of Matthew as well, even those unable to attend have commented they felt like they were there just by looking through the photos. Thank you Matthew!

family group photos, you don't even know he's around taking pictures. I'm extremely picky and have never been more satisfied by services I've received. I highly recommend him! Thanks Matthew for all you've done to capture this special day for us!

era that we didn't realize he was there. We did a first look which was so much fun and totally calmed the wedding day jitters. During the ceremony and reception he was everywhere, I really don't think he missed anything! Every image is so beautiful I really don't know how we're going to narrow them down for a book. I would recommend Matthew to anyone, he is the best! I hope we get to work with again in the future for family portraits.

e guy that was fun to have around. Book him!

s truly amazed by the final product.
