Report
Matt photographed our wedding in March of 2014. We met with him several times before and each time he wowed us with his laid back professionalism. He never made us feel silly for our questions or ideas- he was so knowledgeable and helpful! He was even willing to go out of his way to drive by our venue before the big day to get some ideas about lighting and positioning! On the day of of wedding he arrived early to get a feel for the day and walked us through our long list of places we wanted to take pictures at.
He was so helpful and kept us moving through our picture list. We really enjoyed working with him and how friendly he was. And of course the results were fantastic! We got our wedding photos back and were AMAZED! The pictures captured the beauty of the day and our happiness. Everything from the lighting to the positioning of people was perfect- such a beautiful way to capture the happiest day of our lives! Thanks Matt!

We got married in May 2012 at Danforth Chapel and we had our reception at Pachamama's in downtown Lawrence. During our wedding planning, we were living out of state and Matt was very helpful in coordinating with us via phone and email. And on the day of our wedding Matt was simply outstanding! He was everywhere he needed to be to get the best shots but he wasn't at all obtrusive. Several people remarked on how hard he was working during the entire event.
He got photos back to us in two months- just as promised. It was a delight to go through 400 pictures because each one was better than the next. We enthusiastically recommend Matt Needham! You won't be disappointed! Heather and Brian
