Matthew Jason Photography

Matt photographed our wedding on 11.14.15 and we are thrilled with the results. Matt captured our wedding from start to finish and we will treasure the moments forever. My husband, like most grooms, was not a fan of having his picture taken. After our engagement photo session Michael felt comfortable with Matt and said having his «photo taken was not horrible»! We did not have the budget for a videographer and I am thrilled that Matt captured the special moments in the way he did. He also showed up early and spent more time with us than originally planned. He went above and beyond! Matt was awesome to have the day of our wedding, fun to be around, and always wanted to please us. I cannot recommend Matt enough!

Working with Matt was amazing. We were incredibly happy with our overall experience and, most importantly, our photos — they are gorgeous! We chose to have Matt just shoot our wedding, which took place at my parent’s house in Western Massachusetts. He met with us twice before the wedding to learn more about us and our wedding. He was interested in all the details and worked with us on the things that were important to us with regard to taking photos at the wedding. On the day of, Matt was terrific. It was hectic during the «getting ready» part of the day, but he was a good sport — moving around the property taking photos, checking in with me, my husband, and others in the wedding party, capturing important moments, providing advice, and keeping us on schedule. He then masterfully captured our ceremony and reception and was in no way intrusive. To top it all off, Matt hunkered down with us and our guests when a nasty storm blew through our outdoor event! And, even helped hold down the tent as rain poured in. He was a such a trooper and we appreciated it. After the wedding, we received our photos within the time promised (which was very soon after) and in an easy to use format/​portal, and they were just gorgeous as noted before. There was a wonderful mix of formal and candid shots (Matt beautifully staged our formal shots), as well as photos capturing all the tiny details of our wedding and venue. I would recommend Matt to anyone looking for a photographer — he was a treat to work with, easy going, and professional. Thank you, Matt!

When looking for a wedding photographer, several friends advised me to make sure I chose someone whose personality I liked as well as their work since you spend so much time with the photographer on your wedding day. I am so glad I took this advice and chose Matt. In addition to being so talented, he is also a great guy. From the beginning I felt confident in our decision to hire him and we are so happy with the results. Matt took the time to get to know us personally and met with us face to face to go over all of the details of what we did and did not want. Matt was easy to reach, responsive, and planned in advance the photo locations and the schedule. Because he is very detail-​oriented and punctual, everything went smoothly the day of the wedding. He didn’t make us do any of the corny poses that we did not want, and he was happy to accommodate our silly request to have a few photos with our dog. Best of all, Matt is laid-​back, friendly, and great with people so he put everyone at ease and made us comfortable with having our photo taken, which you can tell from the end results. My husband and I and our parents are so thrilled with our wedding photos and we will treasure them forever. Matt truly wants his clients to have the best day of their life, and he helps achieve this by getting to know you and giving you want you want, making the photo shoot painless and stress-​free, and being unobtrusive during the ceremony and reception. You will not regret hiring Matt for your photography needs!

Matt photographed our daughters wedding in NJ last month and was such a pleasure to work with. He checked out all the venues the morning of the wedding which made everything flow seamlessly. While photographing our daughter getting ready, Matt made her feel so special in such a sincere and gentle way.
At the reception he moved around the room capturing everything in addition to everyone’s“special” requests.
Matt’s body of work is just so beautiful and the pictures we have seen so far are no exception!
Thank you Matt for making this special day even more special.
We highly recommend Matt!

My husband and I (& our families!) are thrilled about the high quality of our engagement and wedding photos. Our guests appreciated Matt’s straightforward yet gentle and unobtrusive manner during the time he was at my home, at the church and the reception venue. Very easy to work with and open to suggestions and captured some truly special moments. My only wish is that he could photograph more events that I host or attend!

I can’t possibly convey how great Matthew is. I contacted him fairly last minute and lucky for us, he was free on the day of our wedding! Matt spent a lot of time on the phone with me asking all kinds of questions to get a sense of what my husband and I are like and what type of wedding we had envisioned — he is incredibly friendly and easy to talk to and understood exactly what I wanted; I really appreciate the time he took beforehand to get to know us and ensure he captured our personalities in our photos. Matt was on time for our wedding (early, actually — he was the first one to arrive!) He remembered the names of all our family members and put everyone at ease with his easygoing yet professional attitude. Matt posed my husband and I in some beautiful photos that look very natural and not «posed» at all. The turn-​around time from the event to when Matt processed and delivered our photos was very fast and they are just absolutely gorgeous. When you compare the photos that Matt took to the ones that my family took (with a very nice camera!) it really highlights the reasons you NEED a professional like Matt to photograph your big day. I look forward to working with Matt in the future to photograph all of life’s big events!

You can stop looking for your wedding photographer! For the sake of full disclosure, Matt is a friend of mine from college, but that bears no weight in this review (sorry Matt). He did an exceptional job with both our Save the Date photos and our entire wedding. He traveled to Loon Mountain in NH for us and was incredibly prompt and efficient. He listened to all of our requests and made everyone at the wedding and in the wedding party feel perfectly at ease. Several of my bridesmaids who did not know Matt prior to our wedding day commented on how unobtrusive and natural he was! All of the photos from the day are incredible, from the mountain top shots to the reception.
I would recommend Matt to anyone!

I will be up front here and say that Matt is a friend of mine from high school. That being said, it was still my wedding and I had high standards (and a limited budget) for a photograher. I sent Matt an email inquiry for my wedding in July, and he responded almost immediately, asking when was a good time to call, and working around my hectic schedule. Not only did he work within our budget, he exceeded ALL expectations we had and was super enthusiastic the entire time. He clearly loves what he does.
We set up a date for engagement pictures (outside in Newport), and not only was Matt ready with places for us to go, he was great with spontaneously getting a barber to photobomb (with our approval of course), and stopping traffic to get a good shot!
The day of the wedding was rainy and gross (outdoor wedding on the beach) and I was really worried we wouldn’t get any good pictures. Again, Matt came up with great places for both us and our bridal party to be potographed, and he even got some really nice shots on the beach. My husband is not a fan of «too posed» shots, and wanted a lot of organic shots to show the flow of our wedding and guests in their «natural» state. Matt went ABOVE and BEYOND. He was so professional that many of our guests praised us for our «great photographer». One friend of ours mentioned she forgot he was there because he was so unobtrusive and another mentioned how bummed she was he didn’t photograph her wedding. Both my husband and I were blown away by how fast we got our pictures, and how good they are! We have tons of pictures, and many of them seem to be candid with how comfortable we look. Before leaving for the night, he came to ask if I wanted any other shots and made sure I was happy with the shots we did get.
Needless to say, we LOVED having Matt as a photographer and I am recommending him to a friend of mine who is getting married at the same place on the same day next year. I would recommend him to literally anyone. If kids are in our future, I will have Matt photographing them.

My husband and I hired Matt for our wedding in May, and couldn’t be happier! We planned our wedding in three short months, and I was so worried about finding a photographer that we liked, was in our price range, and was available. Matt was definitely all three! We had a church wedding in our hometown about 15 miles south of Boston, and then took our couple photos at the Public Gardens before our reception at a restaurant in the city. Matt was so accommodating and traveled with us from the church to my in-​laws house to the garden and then the restaurant. So many of our guests were coming up to us during the wedding and after to tell us how much they loved our photographer. We never felt awkward with him at all, and had such a great time taking photos at the public gardens. I think the only regret I have about the wedding is that we didn’t hire Matt to be there longer! The pictures he took came out absolutely beautiful — I actually teared up a little looking through the album when we got back from our honeymoon. The turn around time was amazingly fast (about a week!), and I love that we got all of our images on a USB and can print them however we’d like. We’re having so many problems picking what pictures to print, because there are so many good ones! Matt was there for about five hours, and we ended up with just about 500 pictures. We’ve gotten so many compliments on the photos he took, and I would recommend him to anyone!

My husband and I were SO lucky to find Matthew for our destination wedding in Boston! Not only was he extremely reasonable but it seemed like we were just taking fun photos with a really good friend of ours!
Matt’s professionalism is exceptional and you can tell that he is passionate about his work. We appreciated his quick responses to any of our questions and his interests in the area where our wedding was to be. He does research before the shoot and even meets up with you prior to the big day to get a feel for what you would like and don’t like.
Our final results were incredible and all of our friends that see our photos keep telling us that we had a great photographer! We already knew that though :)
If you are looking for a photographer in the area, Matt’s your guy! He’s classy, funny, and not to mention incredibly nice.
We couldn’t be happier with anyone else’s work – Matthew Jason Photography was one of the best things that happened to our wedding!

I was looking for a local Boston photographer for my engagement photo shoot, and reached out to at least 7 – 8 different photographer (what any normal bridezilla would do…) I was immediately struck by how efficient Matt was about getting in touch and how open he was to ideas and suggestions for really making our engagement photo shoot personal to us. We even meet for coffee a few weeks before the shoot to go over logistics, the locations and ideas of shots. Throughout the weeks leading up to the shoot, I would send Matt photos and blogs of photos I liked and he definitely incorporated that into our photos.
The day of our shoot was drizzling and cold, but Matt’s super positive attitude made it so fun. We took a bunch of photos at the Boston Commons, Boston Public Library and Copley– Matt was so patient throughout my 3 – 4 outfit changes and the weather.
A day after the shoot, he emailed me a few of the edited photos from the shoot just to make sure they were to my liking. He was so wonderful about incorporating all of the suggestions into our photo edits.
All in all, Matt was amazing and so friendly and easy to work with! I recommended him to my best friend whose wedding is in August and she is using him too!
Keep up the great work Matt :)

Matt did an outstanding job on our engagement photo shoot. He has an easygoing style that was able to catch my fiancée and I in some wonderful, genuine moments. We met on the T and wanted to incorporate that moment into our pictures. The T is not the easiest place to take photos, but our engagement shots came out beautifully. Matt was able to take our general ideas and add to them with some great ones of his own. He has a lot of skill behind the camera and in the editing room. Matt’s a great person to deal with, and is passionate about his work.
Full disclosure – Matt is also a friend of mine – but I wouldn’t recommend him so highly here if I wasn’t 100% satisfied with the results. We couldn’t have hoped for any better on our engagement shoot.

I reached out to 4 or 5 area photographers for a family photo shoot in early December. I knew I was a bit behind the game because I needed photos to use for our first ever family holiday card. Matthew Jason was quick to reply, friendly and easy to e-​mail with, and the value of a session with him could not be beat! I booked him based on those reasons and the other positive Unilocal reviews. I’m SO glad I did. We met him one chilly December afternoon and he took pictures for about 45 minutes. Not an easy feat with a five and a half month old. But he captured the most beautiful pictures and made sure I had the shots I needed for our holiday card so I could print them up and send them off. I would recommend Matthew to ANYONE who was looking for an event or portrait photographer. A nice guy with great talent who is easy to work with — doesn’t get any better.

We are thrilled with the way Matt photographed our backyard wedding this July. The pictures came out beautifully. Matt is professional and friendly, and always made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. He was unintrusive but at the same time he was there to capture all of the most important moments of the evening. We highly recommend Matt!

We had a seamless experience with Matt for our wedding in July. He was personable, fast and totally in touch with the wedding we wanted. We highly recommend him!

We had Matthew take our engagement photos a few weeks ago at the Arboretum in Jamaica Plain. Matt is extremely friendly and immediately made my fiancé and I feel comfortable in front of the camera. We walked around the Arboretum for about 2 hours and shot in many different locations. Throughout the process Matt showed us the pictures he had taken, offered ideas for poses, and in general made the whole process extremely fun!
Within a few days he sent us a few previews of the photos he was working on. We have since seen all the photos he took of us and they are absolutely gorgeous. The photos were beautifully edited and quickly put up on a webpage for us to view.
I would definitely recommend Matt to anyone looking for a photographer. He is quick to respond to emails or phone calls and really cares about making his clients happy!
