Matthew Orf Photography has a goal to capture the feelings and emotions of your special day through candid and creative photography in a friendly, laid back, and easy going way. I know your wedding day will be one of the most memorable moments in your life. It is a time to celebrate love, joy, friendship, and family, and I work hard to make sure your photos express these moments. I consider myself an artistic wedding photojournalist, one of the "New School Wedding Photographers", rather than an "Old School Traditionalist". Rather than posing every shot, I allow the day to unfold naturally so that I can capture spontaneous, candid moments. I aim to stay low-key and try to blend into the moments and the crowd, letting you and your family relax and be completely comfortable during your celebration. I like to keep the posed shots to a minimum, only staging pictures with the parents, bridal party, grand parents, etc. It is my goal to keep your photos in a true photojournalist style without losing the feeling and poignancy of the day, and I am committed to working with your wants and needs to help create your ideal wedding photographs. I've been a professional photographer for 10 years, and have been shooting weddings for 3 years. I'm based in Western Missouri, in the beautiful Northern Kansas City area. I’m available for weddings domestically and internationally. (Travel charges may apply) Please feel free to contact me to discuss your special day!
