“Their warm and friendly demeanor creates a relaxed atmosphere and their attention to detail is unmatched. ”
WORD ON THE STREET
As a husband-and-wife team, we bring a rare fusion of editorial sophistication and intuitive storytelling to wedding photography. Matlock’s background in fashion campaigns and magazine editorials shapes our refined, artful approach—composing imagery with an elevated eye and timeless edge. Kelly grew up in a home where her father, previously a wedding photographer, made documenting life’s moments second nature. That early influence now informs her ability to anticipate and preserve both the grand and intimate with equal care. Together, we capture weddings with the precision of artists and the perspective of those who deeply value the emotional weight of a well-lived day—producing imagery that feels effortless, personal, and enduringly iconic.
While we are based in the Tampa Bay area of Florida, we travel often for weddings along the East Coast.

Our Approach
Transforming fleeting moments into lasting, artful imagery
Our work is rooted in storytelling—artfully composed, emotionally grounded, and always intentional. We’ve mastered the dance of knowing when to step in with gentle and clear direction, and when to fade into the background, so moments can unfold as they were meant to. We believe people look their absolute best when they are fully present—so, creating an environment and experience that is calming and stress-free is second nature to us.
We stay aware of trends but aren’t ruled by them. Our aim is imagery that feels just as striking now as it will decades from now—whether it’s a timeless portrait your grandmother will frame or a chic candid of your best friends at cocktail hour. No detail goes unnoticed; if you cared enough to include it, we’ll care enough to photograph it beautifully.
We’re often told we bring a calming presence to the day—and we take that as the highest compliment. Behind the scenes, we’re always collaborating—refining logistics, building out multiple scenarios, and ensuring that the day flows effortlessly for our clients and their planners. The result is a seamless experience and imagery that speaks for itself.

“Matlock & Kelly were incredibly communicative and organized, which made us feel at ease. On the wedding day, they were extremely calm and prepared and I was so impressed with the number of amazing pictures they captured without the photography taking time away from being in the moment. I was in awe of how many sweet pictures they captured without us even noticing!”
