Working with Matt was amazing. I went with him because he did my cousins wedding and they had great things to say about him. Matt was super professional and made everyone getting t...
heir photo taken feel extremely comfortable which I feel like is no easy task. He was amazing to work with.
Matt was an absolute pleasure to work with. He is easy going, yet professional all at the same time. Matt met with us ahead of time to show us some of his previous work and he ca...
me to our venue to sketch out where we would like pictures to be taken. He somehow managed to capture the best parts of our day without being right in our face. He had an associate, Russ, who was equally as friendly as he was professional. And, he wears a great bow tie :)
By the end, they felt like a friend. I would recommend him to anyone!
I have worked in the wedding industry for 10 years and have worked with numerous wedding photographers in the tri-state area. There is no comparison to Matthew Szoke Photography. M...
att and Russ were absolutely incredible! They were professional, personable, calm, cool and collected- yet so fun at the same time!
We met with Matt before booking and we just loved his style laid back, easy going style. Some photographers can be very pushy, but Matt was all about us and doing exactly what we wanted for our wedding day.
Him and Russ arrived on time the morning of the wedding and got right to work shooting detail shots and getting ready photos. They made every one feel relaxed and at ease. They weren't intrusive at all, with a room full of 10 girls, 3 makeup/hairstylists they fit right in, working around us- you wouldn't even know they were there!!
With a bridal party of 16, they did a fantastic job coordinating everyone. They made us all feel so comfortable and like we were the best looking bridal party ever-which I loved! They meshed so well with our friends and family and it was a pleasure having them with us the entire day.
I haven't even seen the photos, but I know they are going to be amazing. Russ was climbing on chairs and laying on the ground to get the perfect shot. I caught him multiple times getting such unique detail shots. Between him and Matt I was so impressed with the their creativity and knowledge of their craft [with lenses and lighting] to get the perfect shots. I can't wait to see them!
Thank you for being a part of our big day- we are forever grateful and honored to have had you as a part of our wedding day!
When deciding on all of our vendors for our wedding we were told that finding the right photographer was one of the most important decisions we would have to make. After lots of t...
hought and consideration we decided that Matt was the right fit for us and we are so glad we chose him to capture our special day! From the beginning Matt was very accommodating, especially when my now husband had his car broken in to on the day of our engagement shoot and had to show up almost 45 min late. Since it was November and getting dark, we were able to capture some good shots but Matt recommended that we get together again in the Spring to do another shoot (at no extra charge) and get more comfortable with each other! I do not know of any other photographer who would be willing to do that! Throughout the process Matt not only was our "photographer" but he became a friend to us. He was always fun to work with and truly cared about making our day as perfect as it could be. He always got back to us in a timely manner and showed up early the day of with his second shooter Russ which was greatly appreciated! I could not have imagined spending the day with any other guys. We have only received a preview so far but the pictures turned out gorgeous. Everyone has asked who our photographers were because they were so impressed by the pictures! I would absolutely recommend Matthew Szoke Photography for your wedding !
We were recommended Matt from our wedding venue Barn on Bridge, and we are SO happy and lucky to have someone so incredible! From the beginning he took the time to get to know us a...
nd find out what we were looking for. He is such a friendly and considerate person and a real pleasure to work with. Matt and Russ captured our day so beautifully, and the spirit of the day really shines through the photos. He is so incredibly talented at what he does and is very professional. We are so happy that we have such wonderful photos to share and look back on to remember our day for the rest of our lives!
We were so impressed with Matt. He is talented, professional and friendly. We love all of our photos!!
My daughter had been to several weddings where Matt was the photographer, and after seeing the photos, we knew there was no other choice. He was very professional and easy to work ...
with - he made us all feel very comfortable and relaxed. The day of the wedding, he knew how to work with the venue and knew all timelines from start to finish - we relied on him for almost everything! His photography style is the perfect mix of fun, candid and traditional posed shots. We've since recommended him to several family and friends. You won't be disappointed!
Honestly there is not enough space here to say how much I truly LOVED and appreciated Matt Szoke. Our pictures turned out AMAZING, my family and friends keep commenting about how ...
nice the pictures turned out and how friendly and sweet Matt was. Matt dressed professional and showed up on time and was generally my life saver. He commonly listen to me freak out on the phone during the week leading up to our wedding day (sorry matt!) and was half my therapist as well lol. Honestly though he truly was so much fun to have around, and made me feel so much more relaxed and comfortable. I didn't even realize that he was all over the place catching candids as well. His assistant Sarah was amazing as well, she was so nice and great to have around while we were all getting ready. Honestly my bridal party loved them, in addition to my family, and I have absolutely zero complaints. you definitely will not regret hiring Matt, he's the best, and I honestly am so grateful to have been able to have him for our wedding day. Another thing i loved about Matt was that he was quick to answer his e-mails and forgiving when I didn't always get back to him right away. He gave us our open-air photographs two weeks after the wedding (which were so funny and cute haha) and we were able to access all of our wedding pictures online about a month after our wedding. from there you favorite the pictures you like and he'll send you a draft album based on the type of pictures he sees that you like. It's a really easy process, and the quality is honestly fantastic. While i haven't received my album yet, a friend of mine also used Matt for their wedding and she said it's beautiful. She also mentioned that she loved that the USB stick is this really unique wooden USB, and it was all packaged and sent to her really nicely. I have no complaints about Matt, and would HIGHLY recommend him to absolutely anyone. If we ever need pictures again i would 100% hire him if he is available. Great photographer, great person. I couldn't have asked for anything else. Thanks again!
Matt was great to work with. I loved every photo I received from him. Matt is very easy going and responded to all my emails with timely manner. I would recommend him to anyone ...
getting married!
We met Matt through family friends who also used him for their wedding photography. He is so personable and is willing to go the extra mile to make sure your pictures are worth it....
Prior to our wedding day, he researched areas around our venue and drove us there to take additional pictures. They came out so beautiful and are some of our favorites of the whole day. Matt has the opinion that he is there to take pictures for YOU, not to just make a profit. Unlike other photographers, Matt gives you the rights to your own pictures and doesn't pressure you into buying from him. We appreciated that mentality and have no regrets with anything.
Matt Szoke is the best wedding photographer I have ever encountered. I planned my wedding from hundreds of miles away and actually wasn't able to meet him before my wedding day, bu...
t he was very flexible and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. He is extremely professional and organized, but it was so comfortable being around him, and he put the bridal party and all of our guests at ease. Most importantly, his photographs are amazing and my husband and I are thrilled with them. We especially enjoyed his open air photo booth! We had a great experience working with Matt and truly could not have asked for any more. Definitely use him for your wedding! It will be one of the best decisions you make.
I can not say enough about matthew and Russ! My entire wedding party and family could not stop talking about how wonderful they both were! They were unobtrusive and respectful and ...
truly had a knack for what they do. They had some great ideas for our photos in Independence Park but also listened to some of our ideas as well. the few photos we have been able to see so far have all been incredible and we can not wait to see the rest!
Matt was fabulous! We really couldn't have asked for more. From the very beginning planning stages (when we lived long distance and he skyped with us and made room in his schedule ...
to meet with us in person on the rare occasions when we were in town) all the way to the end when he helped us put together a beautiful album and reassured us every step of the way until the album and digital files were at our doorstep, he has really been a treat to work with. We can't imagine having anyone else follow us around on one of the most important days in our lives. Matt and Jess brought so much energy and a lot of smiles to our wedding day, pleasing us, our parents, our friends, everyone, without detracting from the day we had planned. They were a great help in creating (and sticking to) our timeline. Above all, they took fabulous photos of moments we're sure to remember for the rest of our lives. I would absolutely recommend Matt to anyone and everyone!
Matt did both our engagement and our wedding photos, and we could not have been more pleased with all of our pictures! Throughout the process he was very accessible and helpful, an...
d doing our engagement session really allowed us to get comfortable in front of the camera. In our experience his prices were very fair especially considering the quality of his product. At our wedding, Matt and his assistant Russ did an amazing job of capturing our day, from the sentimental moments to the beautiful portraits to the hilarious end of the night moments :) I can't wait to see our album. Also know two other couples who have used Matt and they are all very happy with his work. Highly recommended.
My husband is a fantastic researcher and the two of us spent a long time online, calling friends for recommendations, and interviewing possible wedding photographers. We selected ...
Matt Szoke as our wedding photographer for our may 2012 wedding and we couldn't have been more happy with our choice. We did an engagement session before the wedding and it was a great way to get to know Matt and feel comfortable posing in front of his camera. On the day of our wedding Matt and his assistant were wonderful. They arrived early and stayed late. They were very professional and for most of the night we didn't even know they were there. The photos were beautiful and we loved our album!!! We have received so many compliments from friends and family about the photos! We highly recommend Matt Szoke!!!
I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank and let the world know how amazing Matt Szoke, my wedding photographer, was and the perfect he did for our wedding! When I first m...
et Matt, he spent an hour chatting with me about myself and my husband, what we liked, what our vision was for our wedding and the services he would be providing us. He was very flexible with us and was so prompt to answer my many questions! He also did our engagement pictures which were just amazing! The day of the wedding went so smooth as Matt and Russ captured all the important moments of our wedding and made us feel so comfortable! They were such good sports even though it was freezing outside and even took pictures in the snow with us! All in all, I would 100% recommend Matt to ANYONE that wants amazing pictures for their wedding! I can't wait to work with him again for our next big milestone! :)
Working with Matthew was a delight start to finish!! We could not have made a better choice for our photographer. The photos turned out better than we could have imagined and the...
album was amazing! Matthew did an incredible job creating it and telling the story of the day. One of the best choices we made throughout the planning process. I would recommend Matthew Szoke Photography to any couple planning their wedding - he is the best of the best!
Matt was excellent! We had an engagement shoot with him a year ahead of time that got us comfortable with his style of photography and were very happy with those pictures. Ahead of...
the wedding I gave him a list of suggested shots and he covered all of those and did a lot of other great shots I hadn't thought about. There were so many excellent pictures to choose from (and luckily I get them all so I don't have to choose!).
Matt is the best photographer! His pricing is absolutely reasonable. He also did our engagement pictures which were awesome! We were able to use them for our save the dates and fo...
r our guest book since they turned out so well. Matt is also a great person and very personable. He truly wants to please his customers. When we received our wedding pictures (which did not take long) we were so impressed by not only the quantity but the quality of the pictures!! I honestly could not have asked for any better pictures! Matt and his helper, that day Jess, were so polite and you barely even knew they were there, yet they captured amazing pictures!! Absolutely impressed!!!!!
We could not have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. Matt and his assistant were so easy to work with and our pictures are fantastic! He is very easy to contact and a...
lways got back to us very quickly. I would recommend Matt over and over for anyone who needs a photographer
Matthew Szoke is an amazing photoghrapher! My engagement and wedding photographs are absolutely beautiful! From the beginning, Matthew worked with our schedule and took the time to...
meet with us and answer any questions. During our months of planning, he was there to discuss any concerns and ideas. As for the photos and our wedding album, they are breath-taking!! I could not be happier with them and am thrilled with the album. After looking at the many, many photos, we worked together to put it together and I really appreciated the time, quality, and attention to detail that was put into every aspect of the pictures and album, not to mention the wonderful value for the money spent. I recommend Matthew Szoke Photohgraphy 110%!
When we were planning our wedding we knew that we were not going to have a videographer therefore, the photos must be done right. We met with several photographers but once we met...
Matt we agreed he was the one.
Matt is super easy to work with and makes you feel at ease behind the camera. We did an engagement shoot prior to the wedding, which I highly recommend since it gives you a chance to get to know your photographer. On the day of our wedding it was kind of like having another friend not just another vendor. Matt was there the entire day and caught all of the important moments. He is very creative and takes great candid shots.
We received our album really fast and it is beautiful. We couldn't have been more happy with our decision to use Matt Szoke Photography and would highly recommend him to others.
Matthew Szoke photography is by far the most reasonable and best photographer I could possibley have found for my wedding day. His prices are very affordable when compared to other...
photographers. He is also very organized and just an all around nice person. His work is awesome. I loved all of my pictures that he took. I got the engagement photos done which I highly recommend doing.. it is a great chance to work with your photographer see what photographs you like, and what poses you like for your wedding day. My wedding photographs came out great. I have gotten so many compliments on my photos and there is not one that I do not like. They all came out perfect. He made me feel very comfortable on my wedding day, and made sure there was not a thing that he missed. I have recommended him to other people already. His work is nothing but the best :)
As you'll experience throughout the wedding planning process, it can be overwhelming. What doesn't help are the vendors you encounter that don't seem to either 1.) appreciate your ...
business, or 2.) they give you the 'cookie cutter' plan. What we experienced working with Matt was exactly the opposite. Our first meeting was extremely personal as we explained our musts, wishes and concerns. Matt address all of them and my wife and I left feeling 100% confident in his ability to follow through on his promises. Without going on about our entire process; if you're planning a wedding in the Philadelphia/SE PA area you owe yourself to at least sit down before making your decision.
Our photographs are priceless. We absolutely love them and show them off every chance we get. Off all the vendors we worked with, Matt was one of the best.
Matt and his team were great to work with...very unobtrusive, took the time to listen to what we wanted and gave us amazing photographs to remember the day.
I had attended a wedding in which Matthew was the photographer. After seeing the proofs from the wedding I had visited his website. Some of the pictures I had seen simply amazed ...
me. I just couldn't imagine how someone could be so skilled. Needless to say, my spouse and I did not have to think too much abotu who we werew going to use when trying to find a photographer to grab PERFECT pictures of our new born son. Thank you Matthew!
