TESTIMONIALS

“Matthew has an incredible eye and calm energy. Matthew made us feel relaxed throughout our engagement photos and our wedding. Every time we talked to him we could breathe a sigh of relief due to his organization and reassurance. During the wedding day he magically seemed to be in multiple places at once and was able to capture many special moments in a natural and authentic way. We can not recommend Matthew enough for both his amazing photos and his energy!”

“Choosing Matthew as our photographer was one of the very best decisions we made for our wedding. I first discovered his work while searching for a venue — his photos appeared again and again as my favorite representation of each space. I was immediately struck by his composition, color balance, and mastery of light, even in the most challenging conditions.
But of course, choosing a wedding photographer is about so much more than technical precision, and Matthew has a rare gift for capturing the emotion of the moments that matter most. From the start, he was communicative and professional, bringing a kind and steady presence to the day itself. He seemed to be everywhere at once, and I was delighted to find in our gallery so many moments I hadn’t even realized he was there for. My wedding day was filled with joy but also touched by grief, and I was deeply grateful for Matthew’s sensitivity in quietly documenting those moments with such care.
Even months later, our friends and family are still talking not only about how much they love Matthew’s photos, but also how much they appreciated his presence. His work far exceeded my (already very high) expectations, and if I have only one wedding regret, it’s that we didn’t also ask him to photograph our rehearsal dinner.”

I truly do not have enough compliments for Matthew. It’s rare to work with someone who is so talented and on-the-ball while being so unassuming and approachable. I wouldn’t say that I love being photographed, but Matthew is really talented at setting people at ease. He really captured the feel of our wedding day without imposing or forcing anything, so when I look at the pictures I remember the wedding, not the photographer. I would 12/10 hire him again, and would recommend really trusting his suggestions.

“We were lucky enough to have Matthew capture our wedding in June of 2025. Matthew is so pleasant and professional to work with. He was communicative along the way, responded quickly and returned our photos so fast! He has such an eye to make every scene, or every background beautiful. One of the biggest reasons we chose to work with Matthew was because he captures the emotions in photos so well, and he absolutely delivered! While our posed photos are stunning; he was able to capture the candids, and feelings of the day perfectly – all the while being so calm and un-intrusive. There are so many photos where we didn’t even realize he was close by. It allowed us to enjoy our day and have each moment authentically captured. We cannot recommend Matthew enough and hope to have an excuse to work with him again in the future!”

“My husband, Stephen and I hired Matthew to photograph our wedding this past November at the Grafton Inn. Matthew was fantastic and exceeded our expectations. He was able to make us comfortable through all the pictures and we had a great time working with him. We had so much fun taking our pictures. He listened to all our ideas and perfectly captured our wedding day and we are so pleased with the outcome. We could not have found a better photographer. We recommend him for any wedding. 10/10! He was the best!”

“Matthew was amazing! Cannot recommend highly enough. So calming and knowledgeable to plan with, pictures were INCREDIBLE (so many complements, we couldn’t be happier with the quality), and super accommodating with specific requests we had after the fact. Honestly, having him present throughout our special day added to the experience. Matthew was the perfect blend of seemingly everywhere, helpful, invisible, and charming. We were on a tight budget and this felt like a stretch….Matthew’s photography was worth every penny and then some.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer than Matthew Cavanaugh! He was professional, kind, and somehow both invisible when capturing candid moments and right there whenever we wanted a photo. He and his second shooter, Stephen, caught the most authentic, beautiful shots — including some amazing film photos. Matthew turned around highlights the next day, which was such a gift before our honeymoon. Truly outstanding — we’re so grateful we chose him!”
– Nate & Hannah

“We just got married over the weekend and I could not wait to come home and write a glowing review for Matthew – even before seeing the final product. From start to finish, he was fantastic to work with. There were moments of the day that of course felt a little hectic but I really appreciated having Matthew’s calm, steady presence around us. We received our preview gallery yesterday (less than 48 hours after the wedding, mind you) and could not be more pleased with how the photos turned out. He has such an eye for capturing natural light and the emotions of the people who were present. We initially weren’t sold on doing a first look but they ended up being some of my favorite photos of the bunch! I cannot wait to see the rest of the photos from our big day. Thank you so much Matthew – we are so grateful!”

“I am so happy we chose Matthew as our wedding photographer. His photos are stunning and speak for themselves, but working with him was equally as wonderful. His kind and calm presence was so appreciated not just by us, but all of our friends and family as well. He was so organized and professional, and captured photos of moments when I didn’t even realize he was nearby! We will treasure the photos he took forever, and are so grateful!”
