love notes
Mattea was such a pleasure to work with. She made our toddler smile for the camera which rarely happens. She also readily walked a small trail in the woods to help us achieve our photo goals. While there, she also offered her opinion and direction ensuring we had beautiful shots. Finally, she was incredibly fast with turnaround. Family and friends were so impressed by her work that they scheduled time with her as well We will call Mattea again in the future for our photography needs.
Amazing!! Couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. 10/10. She was able to capture every moment during the candid session and had so many great ideas for the staged photos.
Where do I start?! Mattea was the epitome of a beautiful spirit when meeting her! Her work only complimented who she was as a person. After working with so many photographers, you soon start to realize who you’ll mesh well with and who you won’t. Mattea made me feel comfortable literally, as soon as I met her! She was so professional during the shoot, giving me pointers on poses. It was my first shoot in over 3 years and I’m happy it was with Mattea! I don’t know how much I can recommend her, but if I could do it multiple times I surely would!! Book Mattea everyone!
We found Mattea by chance and we are so glad we did! For our small wedding of just 14 people, we wanted candid photos to really capture the intimacy of the moment. My husband prepared our mood board, which was very film inspired and Mattea took the time to carefully go over it with us. And BOY did she deliver to our mood board. We could not recommend her enough.
Mattea is absolutely INCREDIBLE!! We just got our engagement pictures- and I am so beyond happy with them. She was a dream to work with, and made us feel right at home. We are so happy/lucky we chose her to capture our special moment we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives.
Mattea is such a joy to work with, and her work is beautiful! She is very accommodating, puts her clients at ease when shooting, and goes above and beyond to exceed expectations. She has a real talent, and I look forward to working with her again.
Mattea was amazing for our engagement and wedding day photos! She handled everything so I was stress free. She was professional but easy going and funny. I was super nervous about posing for photos, but her eye for detail and clear directions gave me peace of mind and produced beautiful photos. Would highly recommend!
Mattea was great to work with. The quality of her work was outstanding and she elevated the look we wanted for our products. She was very communicative and timely with responses. We highly recommend!
Mattea was the best!! She helped keep the day on schedule and had great ideas for pictures! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone I know!
Mattea is the photographer of your dreams!!! I tend to feel awkward in front of the camera but she made my fiancé and I feel comfortable and helped us with poses that felt natural and laid back! She’s fast to respond to inquiries and emails and was prompt with her delivery of the photos. We love how the photos turned out and have gotten countless compliments on them from friends, family, and strangers! She played with drone shots and videos during our shoot which was a very pleasant surprise and an addition we weren’t expecting! Book a session with her and you won’t be disappointed!
If I could leave more than 5 stars- I would. Her professionalism allowed for a productive and fun photo session. She was easy to connect with and created a very comfortable environment. She has a very artistic eye and she wants to make sure your vision comes to life. I would recommend working with her if you want to feel like a natural behind the camera! It was a great experience!
Mattea was an amazing photographer! She was very professional and fun! She guided my partner and I throughout the shoot but also gave us room to do our own thing and get caught in the moment. She turned our engagement shoot into something you see only in the movies and I’m so happy to have worked with her. I will highly recommend her to anyone and everyone!
My fiancee and I had never gotten professional pictures done before and were so nervous to take our engagement photos but Mattea changed all of that! She made us feel so comfortable and were so so happy with the way our photos turned out. Would definitely use her again and would recommend to any of our family and friends!
Mattea is the most dedicated photographer I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. She is committed to making your session comfortable. Within a few minutes it felt like I was just chatting with a friend rather than shooting with a stranger. Her photography skills are incredible and I loved every single one of my senior picture prints, the quality of each shot is amazing.
I’ve worked with Mattea a couple of times now and every time I am absolutely blown away. She truly never fails to make me feel so effortlessly beautiful. She makes the sessions fun and not awkward at all, is so incredibly kind, and I am always impressed by her work. Her artistic vision truly is so amazing. I truly recommend her to everyone who is looking.
Mattea is the most amazing photographer you could find, I can’t recommend her services enough. She is warm and bubbly while still keeping it classy and professional, and makes you instantly more comfortable in front of the camera. Her communication and dedication are nothing short of amazing. She truly goes above and beyond for her clients and is very prompt with delivery. My husband and I used her for our 1 year wedding anniversary due to never having the opportunity to get engagement photos taken before our wedding. If I had known of Mattea back then, she would have been the obvious choice for our wedding photog. I hope she will be yours as well!
