Hi, I’m Mat!
I know how overwhelming that can feel—because I’ve been there. When my wife Jenny and I were planning our wedding, we didn’t want to feel like we were performing. We wanted something that felt like us. We were married in an old firehouse on the North Side of Chicago, the city where she and I first met. (Before I became a Colorado photographer!)
Jenny and I wanted to plan a wedding as memorable and unique as we are. We needed the real deal. A day (and a photographer) that captured all our quirks—from how much my wife loves Beyoncé to how much our friends and family love the dance floor.
I know you can’t control the things like how many times your parents will burst into tears on your wedding day (Spoiler alert: it’s a lot). But there’s one thing you can control—making sure you have the right team to help make everything else comfortable and stress-free.
I’m here to be your teammate. That experience changed the way I think about photography. Because when the day is over, what really matters isn’t just how it looked—it’s how it felt. That’s what I help you hold onto.
I’m in my seventh year as a Colorado wedding photographer. Between that and planning my own wedding I learned a key lesson:
Each and every piece of your wedding is important, but the perfect images let you take your big day home and relive it again and again. They’re something to show your future kids and grandkids: This is a family that started with two soulmates and a *whole lot of magic.*
I’ll be more than a person holding a camera. I’m there to help you feel calm, cared for, and like yourself—so the moments we capture reflect the real you.No fake laughing photos you could find as a placeholder in a Target picture frame. I’ll capture your beautiful love just as you are, and send you home with the the most meaningful heirloom I could ever hope to give you—
An incredible record of the absolute best day of your lives, and a story you’ll still feel in your bones years down the road.

About Mat

My background in creative direction is what led me to my career in photography. For 10 years before I started as a wedding photographer full time, I was strategizing on brand and website direction with large, national nonprofit campaigns and startup companies.
I may be a Colorado wedding photographer, but my roots are in the Midwest. (I grew up in rural Indiana, went to college at Purdue University, and lived in Chicago for 8 years.) After my lovely wife Jenny and I met and got married in Chicago, we moved to Colorado, where we’ve been ever since!
When I’m not working, you can probably find me tending to my rare houseplant collection, watching Purdue basketball, or finding a new Colorado trail to hike. My little family, which includes Jenny, our toddler daughter, Lucy, and silly puppy Daisy have loved turning Colorado into our home.
