Hey, I’m Mattie! A photographer for offbeat love stories, anti-wedding weddings, and the beautifully chaotic in-between.
I didn’t get into this to make people look perfect, I got into it to make people feel seen. I photograph the loud love, the quiet moments, the weird shit, the pure joy. If you’re eloping in the desert, saying “screw it” at city hall, (doing both?!) or planning something your grandma might not fully approve of... I’m already obsessed.
I’ve been taking photos since I was like 7, but I started my business and started photographing professionally in 2018. In September of 2022 I left my full-time job to pursue my photography business, I loved that job, I loved majority of the work (not all of it, cause let’s be real) and the people I worked with, but I had this feeling that if I didn’t jump now to try and pursue my dreams that I would someday really regret it. So I jumped.
I’ve always been drawn to the in-between moments, the quiet ones, the loud ones, and the ones that happen when no one thinks the camera is on them. The way your partner looks at you when you’re laughing mid-vow, people just being themselves.
That’s why I document weddings through both photography and film. Some moments deserve to be frozen in time, while others deserve movement and sound, so years from now you can step back into the way it felt.
When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me editing photos, just kidding, but seriously, I’m also a full time photo editor. I love to travel (sitting by the ocean or on the top of a mountain and taking deep breaths is theeeee best), but I also can get down with walking blocks and blocks of the city and taking in everything that it has to offer. I love baking and finding new things to put sourdough in, reading for fun, snuggling my my husband and cats, trying different kinds of craft beers, hitting up food trucks, music festivals, and planning my next tattoo. .
This isn’t just about wedding photos. This is about telling your story without watering it down.
So if you’re planning something untraditional, unfiltered, and unapologetically yours, I wanna be there. Camera in hand. Middle fingers up. Let’s make magic

When you work with me, you’re not just hiring someone to show up and click a shutter button. You’re getting someone who gives a damn. Someone who’ll hype you up, carry your bouquet, hand you a beer, and make sure you feel like the badass you are in front of the camera. By capturing your day through both photography and cinematic film, I’m able to preserve the still moments and the moving ones — the atmosphere, the laughter, the way everything actually felt.
