I met Zach and Julia before their engagement session in New York. We met in Joshua Tree when Zach was searching for a photographer to capture his surprise proposal to Julia. After I photographed their proposal, we remained good friends. They asked me to photograph their wedding in New Jersey in January 2024 and I cannot wait! They are adventurous and love to travel and visit scenic and beautiful places around the world! Our love for travel really brought us closer together. It’s been a blast going to different places to capture their love.

We did their engagement photos in New York City in December of 2022. Together, we visited some of their favorite spots in the city, capturing stunning shots that truly reflected their love and the city’s beauty. Even with the rain pouring down on us, we managed to create a romantic and creative engagement session. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for these two incredible humans and am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of their love story.

KIND WORDS

“I don’t know where to begin with Mattie O’Neill Photography. Mattie is not only an amazing and super professional photographer, she is also the most lovely person. Mattie shot our elopement wedding a week ago in Joshua Tree and my husband and I could not have been happier with our special day with Mattie. We had stunning amazing sneak peek pictures just over 12 hours after our special day. Thanks to Mattie, we can relive our perfect day through her photo’s. Anyone needing a photographer in the Joshua tree area MUST reach out to Mattie.”
