Life's most important question - how will I be remembered?

You deserve the best

(which is why you are here)


It is an honor to be chosen as your photographer.
I put a lot of work into ensuring we are a good fit together, and getting to know you as a person before we get to photography. It allows us to create meaningful artwork rather than just taking a few pictures, or heaven-forbid snapshots!

I do not take every client that comes to me.
It is important to me to choose clients that align with my brand values.

I am looking forward to working with you!

Matthew

22 years of perfecting my craft

Over 20 years experience

I look back at when I started, and I didn't even know what I didn't know. Along the way, I tried adding fancy gear, and brazenly ignoring "the rules."
But then I realized how much better my work was when I learned to do it right.
Now I've got over 20 year of experience as a professional photographer in the St. Louis area and Metro-East. I've created images seen around the world including work for clients like the World Series of Poker, McKendree University, Suicide Girls, Illinois State Police, and the Boy Scouts of America.


But now I focus on more personal work.

More important work.
Now I'm one of the best wedding photographers in the St. Louis area and I craft timeless portraits for discerning clients. I've devoted over two decades of my life to perfecting the craft of portrait photography, and I've got the Certification to prove it. But I really love to balance the fine-art precision with the adrenaline and intensity of wedding photography.
I'd be honored to meet with you and create the artwork you're dreaming of.


Some of my favorite not-so-secret spots:
Olde Wicks Factory
Pocket Full of Sunshine
Hidden Lake Winery

and the Metro-East's Best Kept Secret for Portraits
