Hello, I'm Michael
Wedding Photographer
Hi, I’m Michael Matti, a Seattle-based wedding photographer who has called the Pacific Northwest home since 2013. I graduated from Indiana Wesleyan University with a degree in photography and have spent the last decade exploring both the art of storytelling and the beauty of the outdoors. An avid traveler and hiker, I’ve visited over 50 countries and find constant inspiration in nature, culture, and connection. Photography, for me, is about more than just beautiful images, it’s about documenting real moments that reflect who you are and what you feel.
My approach
 
When I show up to photograph your wedding, my goal is to make you feel comfortable, relaxed, and completely yourselves. I bring an easygoing, calming presence to the day, like a friend with a camera, so you can stay focused on being in the moment, not posing for it. Whether you're hiking to an epic mountaintop or celebrating with all your favorite people, I’m there to document the day as it happens.
I believe the best photos come from genuine emotion: laughter, happy tears, quiet in-between moments, and everything in between. My style blends natural light with a documentary approach to tell your story in a timeless, honest way. I’ll offer creative direction when needed and am happy to help bring any creative vision to life.
With a trained eye for composition and creativity shaped by my background in both fine art and travel photography, I’m always looking for those unexpected moments and beautiful details that help tell your unique story. I also love scouting locations and using the landscape to enhance the narrative of your day, especially here in the Pacific Northwest, where nature makes an incredible backdrop.
At the end of it all, I want you to walk away with images that feel like you... full of life, connection, and memories you’ll relive every time you look at them.
