Weddings & Elopements
Thank you for taking the time to view my work. This must be an exciting time of your life—one that you will remember for the rest of your life. I can’t stress enough how important it is to work with a photographer who’s work you love and is a perfect fit for you.
My signature offering is to capture your love story with beauty, authenticity, and a refined, natural look. I balance photojournalism (capture all the candid, authentic moments) with an editorial touch. I will help clear out clutter in your hotel room for photos, but also allow real moments to unfold. This approach allows you to enjoy your wedding day, but also receive artistic photos that you will love for years to come.
“Mattie is a true talent. When you have her on board for your wedding day, you’ll be sure to enjoy timeless images which also include a little romance, refinement and classic beauty. I love how Mattie captures the essence of the wedding day with all the little details plus a great mix of portraits and candid moments. All of these qualities make for a very well rounded photo gallery and you can see the care that she puts into making sure that all is captured. Not only is Mattie great at what she does but she’s also such a pleasure to work with. It’s so important to have your vendor team be people you actually want to spend time with and what’s more important than surrounding yourself with the best on your wedding day?”
— MELANIE, FROM KEEPSAKE EVENTS
“Highly recommend Mattie for anyone looking for a photographer! Mattie shot our engagement shoot, our tea ceremony, and our wedding day and wow, she is a phenomenal photographer! Her photos are so timeless, ethereal, and beautiful. She is so good at directing couples on how to pose and feel natural in front of a camera. Mattie excels at portraits! Her creative eye is very impressive.
Aside from the couple shots, Mattie and her second shooter was great at capturing all the big and small moments of the day. She was very efficient at taking photos with family/friends so we were able to actually enjoy cocktail hour and reception with our guests, which is a huge plus for us. Mattie - we can’t thank you enough for documenting our day so wonderfully. We can’t wait to shoot with you again.”

“Mattie did an amazing job on our engagement and wedding photos. Her soft, artistic and romantic style of photography drew us to her. Working with her was an absolute pleasure as her relaxed demeanor made us feel comfortable in front of the camera capturing special moments of both days. Mattie was very accommodating, sweet, and professional. We really enjoyed working with her and would definitely recommend her to our friends. Thank you, Mattie, for capturing both our big days!”

Engagements & Pre Wedding
Engagement sessions are a great way for you to experience what it’s like to be in front of the camera. The last thing you should worry about on your wedding day is whether you look good in the photos! This is a great way to practice posing and to feel at ease working with your photographer.
Engagement sessions are also a great way for us to get creative. Whether it be epic locations, exquisite couture gowns, or any artistic concepts you have in mind, I offer guidance on how to achieve these goals.
Choosing to wear a wedding gown during your pre wedding/engagement session allow you the flexibility to spend less time worrying about wedding day portraits. This is a great option for couples who have a packed wedding day, and those who want to focus on spending time with family and friends.
“Finally, we met her face to face when she arrived in Paris a few days before the wedding and we spent the whole week with her for our pre-wedding photography sessions until the big day arrived! We are so thankful to Mattie for her tremendous and qualitative work. As a photographer, she has the eye for good style and inspiration; as a person, she is warm and kind, and at the same time very precise in her directions. All of our guests were amazed by the quality of her work. When we think back at our wedding, and look at the photographs from Mattie, we realize how she captured the emotions of the day with absolute perfection. Her photographs are beautiful reminders of the time we shared with family and friends. We warmly recommend Mattie's services!”

“Apart from a clearly gifted eye for details and exceptional photographic skills, Mattie was able to create not only beautiful photos, but also a memorable experience all in all. Her patience and friendliness enabled us to be our most natural self during the whole pre-wedding photo shoot and we had so much fun in front of her cameras. She was flexible and was able to give excellent suggestions on photographic compositions and locations with consideration of your likes and preferences. She was extremely helpful and understanding with our situation even when it meant that we had to postpone the date of our photo shoot multiple times due to bad weather. She was willing to go the extra mile and be adventurous to capture the candid moments, making sure that we got the most out of our time with her. She is definitely our go-to photographer from now on for all the upcoming major events and moments in our lives!”
— JOLLY & KEVIN
“My husband and I booked Mattie for our pre-wedding photoshoot, and had a wonderful experience with her. We were supposed to get photos done in April 2021, but ended up postponing not once, but twice due to unfavorable weather conditions. Mattie was very accommodating of us, and was actually the one who suggested postponing the second time because she wanted to make sure we would end up with better photos! During the entire photoshoot, Mattie was very patient in dealing with two people who didn't quite know how to pose and made us feel completely at ease. Our photos ended up looking amazing, and friends and family we have shared the photos with have commented the same as well. We had an awesome experience with Mattie and would definitely recommend her!”

Destination Weddings
There is something exhilaratingly special about destination weddings. Spectacular locations with your family and friends flying in from around the world to celebrate together? It can’t get more remarkable than that.
“Mattie was the consummate professional at our wedding, and our guests were amazed at how hard she worked throughout the night to ensure she captured every special moment. My husband and I absolutely love our wedding photos; every time we look at them we’re reminded of the beauty, emotion and fun of our special day. Mattie was an absolute pleasure to work with and I would recommend her to any couple looking for a talented photographer!”

Editorials
Balancing art and photography, I love helping brands and creatives alike tell their story. A strategically designed collection of photographs can help entrepreneurs, whether they be florist, calligraphers, wedding planners, etc. convey the exact vision they have for their brands.
“Mattie was our fashion photographer for our SS17 collection. The photos she took absolutely captured the moment we longed for. Not only is she talented and professional, also incredible to work with. She had us blown from the beginning with her suggestions with location and scouting, her eye was perfect. We highly recommend Mattie to anyone who is getting married or looking for fashion shoots, your photos are guaranteed to be beautiful.”

Portraits
Over the years of working with couples on their engagement & wedding shoots, I’ve developed a strong relationship with many of these wonderful clients. I am always beyond thrilled to be invited back to document their maternity, family and anniversary occasions.
"We had our family photoshoot with Mattie last Summer. She was very friendly and professional, making it a very pleasant experience. Our shoot only took an hour, but Mattie was able to produce some really fantastic pictures thanks to her excellent directing skills during the photoshoot. Even with our family of five, Mattie could guide each and every one of us to capture this moment together. She is an amazing photographer with a great personality that will ensure you to have a fun, engaging photoshoot.”

“Mattie was our engagement and wedding photographer, and she was absolutely fantastic! Highly, highly recommend her for your special occasion. Kevin and I loved working with her. She made us feel relaxed and comfortable in front of cameras. We were able to laugh and be ourselves. She is such a happy person and you can tell she loves what she does. She pays attention to details and she has wonderful suggestions and ideas for photoshoots. At the wedding, she went above and beyond with her role as a photographer. Not only did she capture our romance and love beautifully, she cared for our guests and captured as many guests as possible. When we viewed our wedding photo gallery, we were able to reminisce our Big Day as if we were still there. Her photos are lively and lovely at the same time. We played our wedding photos as a slideshow at the house-warming party, and all of our friends were amazed at every photos. They praised Mattie’s photography skills. We also received many compliments after the wedding from our guests how Mattie always had smile on her face and worked so diligently. We are very grateful that we worked with a great photographer. Thank you again, Mattie!”
