“Mattie was patient and understanding, taking the time to get to know us and our vision for the shoot. She was adventurous, willing to go to any location we desired in Joshua Tree, and even suggested some beautiful spots we hadn't considered.
On the day of the shoot, Mattie was a total joy to work with. She was energetic and patient making us feel comfortable and at ease. She also had suggested poses, which was much appreciated in the sometimes awkward moments of taking photos. But most importantly, the final photos were absolutely stunning. Mattie has an incredible eye for detail and composition, and was able to capture the love and joy between us perfectly. We are absolutely thrilled with the results and cannot wait to share them with our friends and family.”
