L&P

“Mattie has an incredible eye for detail and composition, and was able to capture the love and joy between us perfectly.

From the very beginning, 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. In short, if you are in need of a talented, adventurous, and fun engagement photographer, look no further than Mattie O’Neil Photography. She truly exceeded all of our expectations and we are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her”

V&D

“Mattie was an absolute dream to work with and to say her photos are unbelievably outstanding would be an understatement.

She photographed our intimate elopement and captured the moments so beautifully. The look and style of the photos is exactly what I had dreamed of - it's like she read my mind. She gave my husband and me expert direction, while still allowing us to be natural (and we are both very camera shy). I hope we have a chance to work with her again in the future."

- Valerie & Dean

A&D

“Mattie's talent, creativity, and ability to capture genuine moments are truly remarkable.

Let me start by saying that Mattie is an absolute gem! From our initial inquiry to the final result, her promptness and attentiveness were outstanding. She effortlessly helped direct us, ensuring we felt so comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. All the photos she took looked absolutely gorgeous! This was our first experience with a professional photographer together and we couldn't be happier with the outcome.”

- Amber & Dave
