Mastin Studio - Seattle Wedding Photography

I first learned of Mastin Studio when I saw that a wedding Kirk shot was featured in a magazine (my cousin was a bridesmaid!). I was captivated by Kirk's style and the quality of his photos, so much so that I bookmarked his website and kept up with his blog when I wasn't even engaged. When I did get engaged, I shopped around, but kept comparing other photographers to Kirk. In August 2014, Kirk shot our outdoor wedding and his presence felt like a relaxed, good friend was taking our photos.

Prior to the wedding, my husband wasn't as excited as I was about having our photos taken, but later told me he felt very comfortable around Kirk. Post wedding, Kirk was very responsive; he was quick to have our online gallery up and sent us a disc of high resolution files. We received our beautiful album shortly after a given time frame set by Kirk for designing the album just as we wanted it. We love looking at our wedding photos and know we will for years to come.

Working with Kirk before, during, and now after our wedding has been such a wonderful experience! Photography was always the #1 priority for our wedding and I couldn't be happier with our photographs. My husband and I were married on New Years Eve in Michigan at a venue that has been shot by just about every Metro Detroit wedding photographer around. Kirk's fresh perspective brought forth gorgeous photographs that always have people asking "Where was this taken?!?" Not only are the photographs beautiful (his work speaks for itself), but Kirk is incredibly kind and personable which helped to make our wedding day stress free!

When my husband and I decided to plan our wedding in Seattle, the only thing we knew (as out-of-towners) was that we wanted our wedding to be: 1. small and intimate and 2. captured by the best photographer we could find. We searched online until we found Kirk. The search ended there. After looking at Kirk's portfolio, it quickly became clear that Kirk is a true artist. He is able to capture such emotion and personality in his work.

We immediately decided to ask Kirk to shoot our wedding. He did not disappoint. Our wedding photos are just amazing. Shooting in both digital and film, Kirk was able to capture so many beautiful moments from our day, many of which we had no idea he had taken. We are so happy with how our photos turned out. Some of the candid shots almost look posed because they're just that good. I recommend Kirk to anyone and everyone who is interested.

This is your guy! Besides the fact that his photography skills are top-notch, Kirk is also a very kind, genuine, easy-going guy. I think this matters. It was a pleasure meeting and working with him every step of the way.

We are ever-so-grateful for the beautiful pictures and memories captured by Kirk on our wedding day. His specialty is portrait work and photos of the couple and we carved out a healthy chunk of time before the ceremony to let Kirk work his magic. He had a few creative ideas about nearby locations to get some truly unique photos. We are thrilled with the results and so happy that we set aside this time! (Plus it was a really fun part of the day!) Kirk is genuinely enthusiastic about his job.

He takes a lot of pride in his work and it shows through in his photos. He is present without being a "presence" and somehow captured emotions, expressions and moments without being intrusive. Kirk is worth every penny and more. We would absolutely hire him again!

We reached out to Kirk after my wife and I had a horrible experience with the photographer we hired to do our engagement photos. It was probably the best decision we made regarding our wedding. Kirk is very responsive, highly professional, and yet very relaxed and personable. My wife and I do not generally feel comfortable doing posed pictures but Kirk's enthusiasm, warm sense of humor, and easy going style made us feel so confident in ourselves and his work. His passion for photography manifests itself in everything he does and you can really tell how much he enjoys working with all kinds of people. I would recommend Kirk to anyone!

Kirk was fantastic! Neither myself nor my bride knew what to do for the shoot but Kirk had pre-scouted locations and a great eye. He worked with and directed us to get some awesome photos. He will risk life and limb, running into traffic, to get the shot! Great E-mail communication from beginning to end with fast responses.

Kirk shot our wedding. It was a very small ceremony, early in the morning, with our families only. It also included a very small gathering at our apartment later in the evening. Working with Kirk was a real pleasure. He was responsive, flexible and extremely friendly. If you are familiar with his work, you know he is very talented. In fact, we were pleasantly surprised (and not surprised really) to learn that Kirk shot the wedding of some friends of ours who themselves are professional photographers.

He really does produce fine art photography. Our photos were no exception. We are extremely thankful that Kirk was available to shoot this special day for us, and would recommend him without hesitation.

My husband and I both work in creative fields, we knew we wanted an artist to photograph our wedding. Kirk captures beautiful emotionally moving images that will resonate with people beyond your circle of family and friends. I'm an event manager at a local museum, whenever I'm doing a wedding consultation with a couple I recommend Kirk. He is easy to work with and thoughtful. Not only do I recommend him to clients but also to friends and family. Kirk will definitely be capturing all the future glorious moments in our life.

My husband and I cannot ask for a better photographer to work with than Kirk! Kirk is an amazing individual. He's very patient and keen to details with eyes for beautiful esthetics. We had the pleasure of having Kirk as our wedding photographer. Throughout the whole process, Kirk was just absolutely fanastic to work with. The photographs turned out amazing. His photograph's lighting and composition is brillant and so refreshing. We cannot be happier. Kudos to Kirk and his film photography!

Kirk takes beautiful pictures -- there is no doubt about that-- but he is also such a great guy. He just makes you feel relaxed and at ease. He has such a kind demeanor that you instantly feel you can be yourself around him and that's exactly how you should feel on your wedding day or anytime you're in front of the camera. He has a great eye, is a joy to work with, and gets you your pictures in a very timely manner. My husband and I loved working with Kirk and would recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer.

The experience that we had with Mastin Studio was remarkable! Since the beginning of our transactions, Kirk was honest, worked diligently and reassured us about the process of going through our first photo shoot. The day of the shoot Kirk was attentive, creative and extremely professional. The compliments we have received from friends and family regarding the finished products has been overwhelming. We are so grateful to Kirk (Mastin Studio) for the wonderful visual memories we will have for a long time from our engagement shoot. Thanks Kirk! You are highly recommended by us : )

I had some photography needs done for my website and Kirk was the man to do the job! He is one of the most creative and flexible photographers I know. His seasoned knowledge and laid back attitude is the perfect combination for any work at hand. I especially like how you can give him a theme you are looking for (in my case, was nature vintage), and make recommendations based on his expertise. Kirk Mastin is definitely bookmarked for future/big/life events :)
