My name is Matthew Craviotto

let's get to know each other

Hi, I’m Matthew, a photographer with over 20 years of experience capturing life’s most beautiful moments. My journey into photography began after 10 years of service in the US Navy, where I had the incredible opportunity to travel and live in places like California, Maryland, Japan, Texas, Florida, and Illinois. These diverse locations have shaped not only my photography but also my approach to life and storytelling.

Life is all about people, moments & emotions that we want to hold on to..

First of all, I want you to feel comfortable and relaxed from the moment we start. Whether it's a wedding, engagement, or any other special occasion, my goal is to make the experience as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. Here's a quick rundown of what you can expect during our time together:

Pre-Shoot Planning: Before the session, we'll discuss your vision and any ideas you have for the shoot. I’ll guide you through the best locations, outfits, and timelines so you feel confident and prepared on the big day.

A Relaxed and Fun Experience: I believe in capturing authentic moments, so there’s no need to worry about stiff poses. We’ll keep things natural and fun, whether it’s laughing, walking, or sharing quiet moments together. I’ll be there to direct you if needed but will also encourage spontaneity so your photos truly reflect who you are.

Making You Feel Comfortable: If you're feeling a bit nervous, don’t worry—that's totally normal! I’ll guide you through each step and give you helpful tips on how to pose or interact, but most importantly, I want you to focus on having a good time together. I’m here to capture the real, beautiful moments as they happen.

Capturing Every Detail: From close-ups to wide shots, I’ll be capturing all the big moments as well as the little details—the kind of images that tell the full story of your day. Whether it's the love in your eyes or a spontaneous laugh, I’ll be there to freeze those moments in time.

Post-Shoot: After the shoot, I’ll carefully curate and edit your photos to ensure they look their absolute best. You’ll receive your images in a way that makes it easy to cherish and share with friends and family.

Above all, expect to have fun, relax, and be yourselves! I can’t wait to capture these memories for you!
