Every wedding is different, but the feeling our couples describe is remarkably consistent: they felt cared for, comfortable, and fully present throughout their wedding day.
You're trusting someone to document one of the most meaningful days of your life. Our couples often tell us they appreciated:
Whether we're photographing a wedding in Tampa, Sarasota, Palm Beach, or New England, our goal is always the same: to create an experience that feels effortless, personal, and allows you to be fully present with the people you love most.
We had an amazing experience working with Matlock and Kelly! From the very beginning, they were professional, kind and easy to work with. On our wedding day, they captured every moment beautifully and the final photos exceeded our expectations in every way. We are so thankful we chose them as our wedding photographers!

We got all of the photos we wanted and needed without feeling like our wedding day revolved around taking photos.

We’ve had so many friends and family tell us that our photos look like they came out of a magazine — and we couldn’t agree more. Matlock and Kelly have an unmatched eye for beauty, timing, and storytelling, in a way that really does capture a moment in time. If you're on the fence, don't be. Book them.

Throughout the entire wedding planning process, they were always responsive, supportive, and professional. Whether it was a big planning question or a quick check-in, they were there with helpful advice and genuine care. On the wedding day itself, they were patient, organized, and made sure everything stayed on time without adding stress — a huge help!

“Matlock and Kelly were beyond amazing... They're not only incredibly talented, but also just genuinely wonderful humans.”
Matlock and Kelly were beyond amazing—I truly don’t even know where to begin! From the moment we met them, they were so personable, kind, and easy to work with. They made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera, which is not an easy task, especially on such an emotional and fast-paced day!
You can tell immediately how well they work together—they have this natural rhythm and calm energy that makes everything flow so smoothly. It felt like having two friends by our side, capturing every special moment without ever feeling intrusive or staged.
One of my favorite little moments was when Kelly stepped in and helped fix my veil—such a small act, but it meant so much. She didn’t have to do that, but she jumped in without hesitation and made sure I looked and felt my best. That’s just the kind of people they are.
When we got our gallery back, I was honestly blown away. Every photo felt like a piece of art and brought back all the emotions of the day. They caught the little glances, the happy tears, the laughter, and all the in-between moments that we’ll now get to treasure forever.
I couldn’t be more grateful that we had Matlock and Kelly as our photographers. They’re not only incredibly talented, but also just genuinely wonderful humans. I’m so happy with how everything turned out—choosing them was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!
“I would trust them a hundred times over.”
I don’t think we truly understood the magnitude of value in the experience of Matlock and Kelly’s Photography services until we experienced for ourselves. Kelly was not only there photographing me all morning, she became a genuine friend. She was there for me to help fix my dress when the latch wouldn’t work and help me find my wedding perfume in my fluster. And Austin echoes the same appreciation for Matlock.
Matlock and Kelly exceeded all of our expectations and hopes for our photographer experience and wedding photos. Their communication and timelines prior to the wedding day curated a smooth day that captured every moment we hoped for and more. They genuinely cared about us and learned who Austin and I were as a couple, we felt seen throughout the entire process. Their professional throughout the whole experience was top tier from the initial conversations, to our welcome package, to wedding day, and to our full gallery being delivered SOOO quickly. We are so grateful.
We cannot thank Matlock and Kelly enough for capturing our most treasured day, I would trust them a hundred times over and would recommend them to all of my closest friends and family. Their quality and value speaks for itself and onto of that they are the most kindhearted people that genuinely care about their clients and their happiness.

“Deciding on Matlock and Kelly is the best decision anyone could make and I'd make it again 100 times over.”
I cannot say enough great things about both Matlock and Kelly. They are not only exceptionally talented but they are both lovely people to boot. Their calm demeanor really helped us feel at ease during our day and it truly felt like we had friends there with us every step of the way.
They compliment each other so well and it is amazing how seamlessly they’re able to work together throughout a wedding day even when they are sometimes on opposite sides of the venue capturing different moments.
I know deciding on a photographer is one of the most important decisions a couple can make for their big day, deciding on Matlock and Kelly is the best decision anyone could make and I’d make it again 100 times over. We thank both of them so much for all they’ve done for us throughout our engagement and capturing moments that mean so much.

“If I could give six stars, I would.”
If I could give six stars, I would. Matlock and Kelly were amongst our best decisions when it came to wedding planning – as someone who cared deeply about photography, I really struggled finding creatives who did not want to run the day and who also truly understood what I was looking for. My husband and I knew we made the right decision with them as soon as our introductory phone call happened – they are so welcoming, easy to talk to, and most of all, GET IT! They made the stress of the week so much less, and were so open to trying new concepts while also guiding us through our vision.
Our wedding was on Captiva Island, Florida – a place that is further than most of their other weddings I had seen and is not always the easiest to get around on. Not only did they do our engagement shoots there, but they made sure to scope all of our venue spots out in advance and it made our day run without a hitch. All of our wedding vendors kept talking about how we were ahead of schedule and how they had the best experience with them, from their professionalism to their team spirit for events. Above all, they also took film and polaroids of our day and they are some of our new favorite photos!
I can't say enough good things. If you are a bride who is nervous about investing in photography, please – LET THIS BE YOUR SIGN! They are truly the best, and I can't be more pleased with our photos and with our experience.

We believe beautiful photographs are the result of an exceptional experience—not the other way around.
As a husband-and-wife team, we approach weddings with a balance of thoughtful direction and documentary storytelling. We help create space for genuine moments while ensuring portraits feel effortless and efficient, so you can spend more time celebrating with your family and friends.
Our goal is for you to remember your wedding day for the people you were with and the moments you experienced—not for feeling like you spent it posing for photos.
Absolutely.
One of the biggest concerns we hear from couples is that they aren't comfortable in front of a camera. The good news is that you don't need modeling experience to have beautiful photographs.
Rather than asking you to hold stiff poses, we guide you with natural prompts and simple direction that encourage genuine interaction. Most couples tell us they forget they're being photographed within just a few minutes.
Creating a relaxed environment allows real emotion to come through, which is what gives photographs their timeless quality.
Yes. We love collaborating with wedding planners because it allows everyone to focus on creating the best possible experience for you and your guests.
We've worked alongside planners at luxury weddings throughout Florida and destination celebrations, and we understand how important communication, flexibility, and respecting the timeline are. Before the wedding, we coordinate photography logistics with your planner so that your day flows smoothly. During the celebration, we work as part of the team to keep everything running seamlessly while documenting moments as they naturally unfold.
Our goal is to make the photography portion of the day feel effortless for everyone involved.
Yes. While we're based in Florida, we photograph weddings throughout the East Coast and are always excited to travel for destination celebrations.
Whether you're planning a coastal wedding in New England, a mountain celebration, or a weekend-long destination event, we approach every location with the same focus on storytelling, genuine connection, and thoughtful documentation.
Many destination weddings include welcome parties, rehearsal dinners, and farewell gatherings, and we're happy to help create photography coverage that tells the complete story of your wedding weekend.
Our approach is guided, but never overly posed.
We'll provide direction when it's helpful—such as finding beautiful light, suggesting natural movement, or making small adjustments that photograph well—but we don't believe in forcing moments that don't feel authentic.
During portraits, we'll guide you enough that you never have to wonder what to do, while leaving plenty of room for genuine interaction and emotion. Once the formal portraits are finished, we naturally shift into a more documentary approach, allowing you to enjoy your wedding while we capture the moments that happen organically.
The words we hear most often are calm, genuine, organized, and caring. While every couple's experience is unique, many tell us that they felt completely at ease from the first conversation through the wedding day. They appreciate having photographers who are present without being intrusive, who know when to offer guidance and when to step back so moments can unfold naturally.
Many of our reviews also mention our communication throughout the planning process, our ability to work seamlessly with planners and vendors, and how our photographs helped them relive moments they didn't even realize were happening.
We cannot wait to hear more about your celebration. Together, we'll craft something unforgettable.
