Weddings are always great, but it’s something different every time.
This one was special because I’ve known the groom since he was just a little guy playing at my house with my youngest brother. So I was excited when he asked me to photograph his wedding because I hadn’t seen him for so long. It’s always great to see when someone grows up to be such a great person who’s loved by so many people—especially when one of those people is his sweet, sweet wife-to-be.
They were married at Heather’s uncle’s property in Kirkland, Washington overlooking a vast valley of green in a special ceremony that included Heather’s son. After which, the party started & went until it couldn’t go any more. I had a blast the whole day.
Thanks Heather & Michael for trusting me to capture your special day—I’m honored.

Awesome reception shots, looks like they had a good time. I think my favorite is the last shot. It reminded me of being at a concert.
Awesome coverage! I do like that last shot, very cool and your bridal portraits are lovely!
Matt. Ever ytime I visit your blog I know I’m in for some good stuff. Every time. The way you capture light is like no other.
These are all beautiful. The bride looks like somebody I’d like to hang out with – great job capturing the fun!
I agree with Eric 100%! Dude, you seriously know how to paint with light. And the wedding party looked like they are loads of fun!
Amazing… Nothing better than when people look like they’re actually having fun!!
Those last few shots are so cool! I love the way you captured the light going on there. Awesome!
great sequence shots!
Wow, they look like a super fun group. You rocked this wedding all the way!
they are so cute. I love the dancing series.
Awesome work as always Matt! Love the dancing shots
Good stuff once again Matt. All your work is great, but you always manage to pull off that one shot that makes each wedding set special – like the dancing shots here. It’s cool because it gives each couple something truly unique in their wedding photos.
Great work. I love that YMCA dancing shot!
