Matthew Sowa Photography

I am speechless when it comes to Matthew Sowa. A. I can't believe I found him. B. Our pictures were exactly what we wanted and more. EVERYONE was floored by our pics. I've had numerous people come up to me and say they were the best wedding photos they had ever seen. Besides being ridiculously talented, Matthew is reliable and efficient. He listened to what we wanted. He responds immediately. My father -in- law is a professional photographer and he was extremely impressed with the amount of detail Matthew focused on in post production. We are so happy that we not only have candid weddings photos to remind us of that amazing day, but we have great art to hang on our walls. If you want out of the box wedding photos, look no further. I already have family members talking about using him.

Matthew and his assistant photographer are creative geniuses! We have so many amazing candid shots as well as the traditional. If you want to show emotion & personality then he is the photographer for you!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Matthew Sowa. My husband and I were engaged about a year and a half before we actually got married (June 26, 2011) and we began to shop around for a photographer. I'm super picky and was set on finding the "perfect" photographer. And I did! After visiting various, typical wedding studios, Rob and I met with Matthew. Our meeting with him was very personal, he was so open and honest, and his work just speaks for itself. (Go to his website- those amazing pics will really be yours!) I've never met a photographer with an eye like Matthew. He is a true perfectionist, and puts so much time and effort into his work. After our engagement pictures, I knew our wedding photos would be stunning. We just got them back and I am in love! He captured EVERY little moment that flies by in those few hours- and so creatively and artistically. Matthew Sowa has gone above and wayyy beyond my expectations! I would recommend him a million times. I can't thank him enough for his beautiful work, and I can guarantee that any bride that uses his services will not be disappointed!

My two sisters and I have used Matthew for each of our weddings - that's how highly we think of him and his work! I'm the youngest, so when it came to booking our photographer, my husband and I went straight to Matthew. No one else compares and no one else will do. His work is amazing not only because of his undeniable talent, but his dedication and desire to not only create a great photo, but a great piece of artwork. On top of that he's professional and reliable - and full of great ideas! If price is an issue, look to skim your budget elsewhere because at at price point, Matthew and his photos are definitely worth every penny!!

I have to say, Matthew was unbelievable. I don't have a single thing to complain about (which is rare!). We are so pleased with our pictures and have gotten a ton of positive feedback from our friends and family.

Yes 5 stars easy... When you hire Matthew Sowa your not just getting a wedding photographer your getting a true artist! He WILL make your wedding pictures stand out from the rest. He is great to work with, makes you feel like your a performer! Look at his blog and if you not convinced with that, good luck!

Matthew is a pleasure to deal with, non intrusive, professional and does absolutely AMAZING AMAZING work!!! We trusted him completely and he exceeded our expectations. He captured every moment beautifully and created an album to die for. He is truly the BEST!!!!

Matthew and his assistant (Ralph, I think?) were wonderful! I truly enjoyed working with Matthew, his personal style is amazing, which you can see from his portfolio of work, but his personality also is so pleasureable to work with. He was unobtrusive and frankly most of the time, because I personally wanted alot of the candid shots, we forgot he was even there. But he still managed to engage my family and friends and mingled almost like a guest. He responded immediately to any question or concern during the planning process and quietly and tactfully directed whereever necessary without making the day feel "directed" or dominated by the need for pictures. I was truly able to enjoy my wedding and also get all the beautiful memories I desired. A very talented professional in every respect!

Using Matt to shoot our wedding was the best decision for the entire day. Amazing! Worth every dollar :). I've recommended his sevice to everyone I know who is engaged!

Matthew's photography is not just a photography! it is a true art! We don't even know how we can express and thank him for his incredible work. He did amazing job shooting our engagement session and we can't wait to work with him again on our wedding pictures. The atmosphere during the photo shoot was great! I was a little afraid that it would be difficult for us to be natural and this would show in the pictures. But Matthew created very relax and pleasurable mood. Our engagement pictures are absolutely beautiful and not only beautiful but alive! Every time I look at them I am glad I met such a talented photographer! Thank you that you captured those important moments for us in such a incredible way! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Matthew, I do not know how to describe my experience with you. We have received so many compliments on our wedding photos. You captured our wedding just the way we envisioned. We didn't even notice you were there some of the time. Your eye for composition artistically enhanced the photojournalistic feel of our wedding.Matt was so easy to work with and very knowledgeable about the craft of photography. Thank you so much for making our wedding memories last a lifetime.

We are so LUCKY to have found Matthew. Photos were definitely my biggest concern. I'm not someone who loves to pose for photos and I also find the "traditional" wedding photos to be cheesy so we really spent alot of time meeting with different photographers that were more editorial style. We were definitely looking for someone more creative. Matthew came hihgly reccommended and actually was able to EXCEED my expectations which I thought would be impossible! I can honestly say that I think we have the best wedding photos I've ever seen. I hope every bride can say that about their photos too. Matthew was so easy to work with. He met with us multiple times in advance and after and was very patient and accommodating. Day of he was very professional, discreet and was really able to capture our day with photos, catching every moment and telling a beautiful story. I can really say that I think Matthew works really hard for you to make sure he is getting the best shots and also to capture everything. I would also HIGHLY reccommend doing the day after shoot!! This was really the best part AND so much fun. It takes the pressure off day of. You don't have to worry about traveling to different locations and worrying that you didn't get enough portraits. We were able to get a lot day of but nothing can compare to the day after shoot. Plus you get to wear your dress again!! Matthew's albums are also gorgeous, we had never seen albums like them. Again, top notch. His second shooter was great as well. I'm so grateful we found Matthew. I don't think anyone else would compare. If you're lucky enough to have found him, hire him! You will be grateful too.

Wonderful, professional and very responsible person. Quality of work is phenomenal. Would highly recommend.

I can not say enough things about Matthew Sowa. He's absolutely amazing, creative and a true artist. He is so easy to work with and so punctual and his photos are amazing. His work speaks for itself. Highly Highly recommended

Matthew has been great, his work is miles ahead of any other photographer I had ever worked with. The whole process went as planned and there were no surprises which I think is the most important on the day of your wedding. I highly recommend Matthew as I doubt you will find such high quality professional for the price.

Matthew photographed our wedding and I cannot speak more highly of him and his beautiful work. We were looking for pictures that were special and out of the ordinary and Matthew delivered beyond our expectations. Our wedding pictures and our albums were exquisite. We have gotten so many compliments on our album and both of our families cannot stop raving about how gorgeous the pictures are, even over a year later. Matthew was so great during our initial consultation and he and his assistant were wonderful on the day of the wedding. They caught all the action in a breathtaking way and really captured the emotion of the day. When it came time to put together the album, Matthew was very patient with me, even though I requested numerous changes. I highly recommend Matthew and I would not hesitate to use his services again.

In our search for a photographer for our wedding, my husband and I interviewed several candidates. The process of viewing portfolio after portfolio left us, to say the very least, overwhelmed. There were a number of talented photographers with bodies of work that were in their own ways both beautiful and interesting, yet there was something holding us back from making a decision. It was then that we met with Matthew Sowa and we finally understood what it was that was subconsciously fueling our reservations with respect to the other candidates. The other photographers had delightful portfolios, but Matthew’s work went beyond the realm of what one thinks of when considering wedding photography. Every moment that he captured turned out to be much more than a static representation of an event--- each image was alive with energy and embodied the unbridled happiness that my husband, our guests and myself felt on that day. Beautifully orchestrated photos that pulsed with emotion far surpassed any of the other works that we had looked at during our initial search. In addition to Matthew’s obvious ability to capture a plethora of moments and create beautiful, in essence, “living” memories of our wedding, coupled with his beaming, enthusiastic and accommodating personality, made him an absolute pleasure to work with. Matthew is an individual whose passion for his craft shines through his work. His personality and the zest with which he commits himself to creating works that transcend traditional photography, is what elevates his work to a place of beauty that will evoke the same emotions captured in that moment for many years to come. In short, he is the best!

you will never find a better photographer ;)

Matthew is an amazing photographer, very creative. We have so much fun shooting with him our engagement and weeding photos. We would love to do it again, just waiting for the occasion.

The pictures he provided were beyond what we could have expected! Would recommend to any couple who does not want just the traditional photographs.
