We're not ordinary wedding photographers. We are awesomer.
Yes, we know that's not a word. And we don't care. We might love our cameras more than we love each other (just kidding! kind of.) NYC is our home base but we have been known to travel far and wide in search of the perfect taco.
We both like to cook, but nobody likes to do the dishes. We've been married for a little over a year, share an office, and still love to spend time together.
We can't wait to hang out with you and hear all about your wedding. Get in touch!
We are Mat and Erin and we love to tell love stories.

Mona and Andrew are such a lovely, down-to-earth couple. We shot their engagement session in their beautiful, West Village backyard. Check out this space, as an amateur gardener, I was so jealous! We poured some Pastis and had so much fun talking that it took us three hours to shoot the session. It was lush and gorgeous and completely comfortable, just like these two. Their Indian-Jewish wedding is coming up next and we cannot wait to photograph it!
Nick and Diana are really one of a kind. They are whip-smart, incredibly funny and totally in love. When we met with them for the first time we spent three hours talking. Their engagement shoot in Central Park was no different. We couldn’t stop laughing and joking and wishing it could go on all day. The shoot started on the roof of the venue for their September wedding. That view of Central Park is unbelievable and it will reappear in their wedding photos. Both Mat and I couldn’t stop photographing them. Have you ever seen anyone more beautiful?
Stefanie and Pat wanted to do something different with their engagement shoot and picked the Museum of Modern Art in NYC. They were engaged there and the place holds special meaning in their relationship. We’re always happy to do something different and had a great time with them dodging the security guards and capturing their love against the backdrop of some spectacular art. Plus, sunshine!
This is the actual location of the proposal, just off the sculpture garden.
It’s that time of year again when the inquiries are coming thick and fast and awesome new clients are becoming awesome new friends. It’s also time to start planning engagement sessions. We are getting busy you guys! This year we’re offering a free engagement session to all new weddings that are booked and the deposit is paid before April 15th. Woot!
Engagement sessions are a fantastic way for us all to get to know each other as well as for you to get comfortable in front of the camera. You don’t want your first time in front of our big ol’ lenses to be on your wedding day. That day is stressful enough. If you’re at all camera shy or don’t think you take good pictures, an engagement session is essential. We will show you how to pose (or non-pose) and relax on camera. We lurve shooting e-sessions because we get to go around to all of our favorite locations in Manhattan and Brooklyn and Philly and really capture the essence of you. We’ve been scouting locations this year for some super cool styled shoots as well (more on that soon!)
Everyone always asks what they can do with the photos. Our favorite idea is to make a guestbook with the images and plenty of space to write and leave it out at the wedding. We can help you design one of these. We also love when the images pop up in thank you notes! We can also include them in your album if that’s your preference and they’re great openers for your love story.
Make sure you contact us soon to get on the books because 2011 is filling up fast!
These two are beyond adorable. Okeoma and David met while teaching together in the Marshall Islands several years ago and have been together ever since. They wanted to meet at Fort Tilden way out in Queens. It’s an abandoned military base with a beach! Who knew this was even in NYC! It was a completely genius location for this beach-loving pair. I kept thinking I was in California all over again, except for the storm and clouds rolling in over the waves. I’ll definitely be out there again soon!
