I’m Matthew, a documentary wedding and lifestyle photographer based in North Carolina. My approach is simple: stay out of the way and let the real moments unfold. I don’t stage or direct much; I watch, listen, and shoot what’s actually happening. The nervous hands, the cracked jokes, the quiet in-between stuff. Rachel, my wife, is part of everything we do. She sees the details I might miss and keeps things grounded. Together, we believe marriage, family, and faith are worth capturing honestly, just as they are.

Photography, for me, has always been about memory, about the tiny, fleeting moments that make a life. The laugh you didn’t know got caught on camera. The way your dad looked at you before walking down the aisle. The quiet in-between glances that say everything. That’s the good stuff, and that’s what I’m here for.

Rachel and I approach every session with intentionality and care. She helps you feel comfortable and styled with ease, while I focus on documenting the real and unscripted. Whether we’re chasing golden light or catching a quiet moment indoors, our goal is simple: to help you feel seen, and to give you images that take you right back to how it felt.
