I am an outdoorsman at heart and will never miss an opportunity to explore or partake in an adventure. 

I crave the serenity often found in the woods, in a self-growth book, or in my home surrounded by my love, Kenzie, and our labradoodle, Henry.

I am outgoing, open, and take pride in making everyone feel welcome and included in my presence. I hope that when we connect, you leave the conversation feeling heard, encouraged to be creative, and excited to work together!

Yes, the Matthew in “Memories by Matthew”. Cliché - I know.

I believe your wedding day isn’t a performance.
 It’s about presence.

It’s the subtle tremble in the way your hands shake before you see each other.
 The tears in parents’ eyes as they see your story continue to unfold.
 The laughter that breaks through once the nerves finally fade.

My role isn’t to direct your day.
 It’s to observe it with intention.

I’ve had the honor of capturing lifelong memories for over five years! In that time, I’ve been blessed to work professionally in my church, to hide for surprise engagements, to celebrate couples on their wedding day, and to travel alongside couples/friends/family while documenting their greatest adventures. I strive to document those who care deeply about connection — those who want their film and photos to feel human, heartfelt, and enduring. Not staged. Not forced. Just real moments, intentionally told.

Administrative and creative support 

You’ll often find me “behind the scenes” - preparing service agreements, replying to emails, or managing social media accounts. You know, all the things “normal” people loathe, but I find exciting. 

But I’m not just a bookworm! I LOVE to tag along to client events when I’m able! I support Matthew by acting as a second photographer/videographer when needed, setting up or tearing down equipment, and serving you! You can call me the willing family photo organizer, dress fluffer, train carrier, or the happiest bouquet holder around. 

 I spend much of my free time on our porch, with a cup of tea, and our labradoodle, Henry, sitting next to me. My heart lies in life’s little things and all the small moments that often go unnoticed. 

I’m reserved, introverted, and incredibly empathetic. Seriously though - I might cry when you cry during your vows. I pride myself on caring for others and hope you’ll let me know how I can help or serve you!
