Overview

Hi, I'm Matt. Based in Chicago, I am primarily a commercial photographer shooting product, people, some food, and corporate events. I don't really photograph weddings much these days. I'd be more than happy to shoot your event, portraits, team headshots, or other photo projects you might need help with.

A wider scope of my event photography can be found here: (link hidden). Take a look around the rest of my website while you're there!

Feel free to reach out and we can chat. Thanks!

Hire Matt!

Matt was easy to work with, professional and timely. He captured great shots of our corporate seminar, the speakers, the guests, the band, and the entire event. I received the pictures quickly and look forward to working with Matt again when I return to the area!

Another great event with Matt

Our company has used Matt as our photographer for a handful of events now and he is always reliable, professional and delivers a great product. It's great to have someone that we can default to for our Chicago events. Thanks, Matt!

Working with Matt Was Fantastic!

My wife and I used Matt for our wedding in October 2015, and we were both unbelievably happy with the results. We have many of the photos hanging around our house and still receive compliments on the creative and inspired shots he provided for us. Not only were the pictures amazing, but working with Matt was a breeze as well. He was very responsive and accommodating before the wedding, and during the event he really didn't need any direction from us. He knew where, when, and how to set up for all the important shots of the night, and that really put my wife and me at ease. It was very nice to know that he was attentive and thoughtful. Some of our most favorite pictures from the night are the action shots he took while in the middle of the dance floor; Matt has a really keen eye for catching quick, special moments.

I really can't say anything bad about our experience! We both highly recommend his services. My best friend used him for their wedding after we explained to them how happy we were after ours. Matt's the best!

What to expect

I am a positive, friendly, and level-headed professional. For your wedding or event, I'll cover your portraits, ceremony, group-shots at tables, preparations, still-lives, and people getting wild on the dance floor with the same skill. I'm skilled with natural light, flash, or a combination of the two.
I typically provide couples with disc (or more commonly these days, a computer file) of high-resolution images edited by myself, and a few archival inkjet prints. Additional prints can be purchased at additional cost or you are welcome to print from the files I give you! I also shoot portraits and head-shots.

About

Born and raised in Rockford, Illinois, I have been a Chicago resident now for close to a decade. In addition to my photography, I am a long time drummer, biking enthusiast, runner, cat-dad, movie lover, and boyfriend to a wonderful woman.
