Safari Photography

Matt is absolutely amazing! We had terrible weather on our wedding day and he called me the week before, offering to take photos on another day leading up to the wedding so that we could still have outdoor photos if we wanted. Matt also showed up to the venue well ahead of the ceremony and started taking photos of the tables, decor and floral arrangements without us even needing to ask him to do so. We had no idea what sort of photos to ask for, but we did not need to worry as Matt recommended all types of photos in the moment, which allowed us to get an amazing variety of photos without any stress or planning on our part. Matt also kept track of all the tables and groups we had or had not yet taken photos with, so he really made sure we got the absolute best out of his services. He was so pleasant to work with and made our wedding day amazing without any of the stress!

I can’t say enough great things about Safari Photography and Matt Lecuyer. Matt was recommended to me by my now husbands mother. The two have known each other for years. My husband and I went to speak with him and he immediately put me at ease at the beginning of wedding planning, which I knew was a great sign. I then saw his incredible work and saw how affordable his packages were and knew he was our photographer. His packages included an engagement shoot which was amazing. He also is very personable, responsive to texts and emails, and has a way of putting you at ease no matter the situation which was huge for me personally. We received a link to our photographs days after the wedding, and then received photo albums of all the photos from the wedding which was a nice surprise. Having all the photographs printed isn’t included in most photographers packages. We also were given a flash drive that included all the photographs as well which is extremely convenient for printing more copies of the photographs for family and friends. I could not say nicer things or recommend him enough! He went above and beyond our expectations! You should definitely book Safari Photography and Matt Lecuyer for your wedding experience, you won’t regret it!

Matt was professional, on time, and produced high quality photos for the finished product. We initially spoke with three photographers via phone and email, but Matt’s prices were the best and his vibe on the phone felt comfortable. Before the wedding day, we gave Matt a list of groupings we wanted. On wedding day, Matt took his time to get us in the right lighting, the right background, and the right positions. We were actually getting a bit nervous since we were running late to the reception, but in the end, we should have just trusted Matt because the photos on the beach came out wonderful. He shot us at four locations – the getting ready house, ceremony location, beach location, and reception location. Even at the reception, when we insisted we were all set for photos, Matt encouraged a photo of us against the backdrop of the river and sunset. He knows what looks good, just trust him. He talked to us during the reception, and even though we had only met him that day, he was also fine to talk to. We do recommend Safari Photography. Three days after the wedding, Matt found and messaged us on Facebook a first photo – sneak peak – of the photos to come. Then, Matt created an entire album of all the photos he took that day, which arrived just four weeks after our wedding. Prior to that, we were able to view all his photos online on his website through a link he sent us. Photos on your phone are great, but there’s something to be said about a wedding album you can physically hand to your friends and family.

Matt did a fantastic job of taking photos at my daughters wedding. All of the photos were so beautiful.The wedding was at Ocean Cliff in Newport and the pictures he took on the grounds of Salve Regina College were so magical it looked like a fairy tale. He is so easy to work with and we couldn't ask for a nicer person.
