I had the pleasure of being able to photograph Betsy & Chad’s wedding at the amazing Red Barn Farms in Colton, WA.
The weather was beautiful. The bride was beautiful. The groom was beautiful handsome. The venue was perfect. What else could I ask for?
Not only was the bride gorgeous & terribly sweet, she basically designed most of the wedding. She has a future in wedding planning/designing. The table tops, hand made chandelier, candy, blue-dyed slip—all her doing. Also, what better place would there be to celebrate grandma’s birthday than a wedding with everybody in attendance.
I had an absolute blast (of which there’s evidence in these photos) & everybody else did too!
Big thanks to Ana Hopkins for lending me her photography skills for the day.

Lovely wedding. The details are so awesome.
Matt, you’ve been putting out some killer work lately, but this…this is a whole new level. Absolutely killed it. I love this couple, love this wedding, love the details, love the way you chose to shoot it. Really well done.
Nice work. The sock shot made me smile. Also love the big drapy streamer things in the barn. That was a nice idea and added some flare to the barn.
Freakin’ amazing, Matt (and Ana)! Gorgeous couple, location, and details. You two knocked this one out of the park. Way to rock the tilt-shift. Hilarious with the bouquet toss. (noted)
Fantastic! I love your bold colors and you got such nice character and humor in these photos. The picture frame photos are neat.
Wow…these are amazing (or should I say AWESOME) (:
These are all great, and I love the details they put into it. But that b&w portrait of the bride is simply beautiful. She’s glowing. :)
Ahhh Matt, there’s a lot too love here. First off your post processing is really fantastic. Also little things: the funny teeth photo is priceless, + I’m loving the groom’s sock shot.
Beautiful as always. Beautiful couple and cute kid too. Well done!
So beautiful. I loved every photo! You captured the emotion of the day perfectly! I still have goose bumps. Too bad Betsy & Chad are on their honeymoon and I can’t talk to them about the amazing job you did. They will be soooooo happy!!! You were awesome, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!
Those shots of them coming out of the frames kind of blow my mind a little bit!
These are just brilliant,Matt! It was great working with you! Thanks for bringing me along! It was so much fun!
Love the one of the baby smiling!
Matt, these images are bad ass!!! I love every image from this set, I can only imagine how happy your clients are. Kudos.
Haha! I love your frame wall, but the censored shots take the cake!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THESE PHOTOS. WE ENJOYED HAVING YOU AS A GUEST AND AS A PHOTOGRAPHER. THE PHOTOS ARE AWESOME! YOU REALLY CAPTURED THE LOVE BETWEEN CHAD AND BETSY AND THE GOOD TIME THAT EVERY ONE HAD. THANKS AGAIN, AUNT SISSY
Beautiful use of light! I love the bridal portraits, especially the one of her about to walk out.
Hey Matt,
I’m clicking through the album and it’s just getting better and better then BANG I’m at the END! NO! NOT THE END MAN!
So I wash, rinse, repeat. ;)
