About Me
Originally a film production major I started my career in the movie industry in L.A. After realizing that wasn't where I wanted to stay put I kind of fell into my passion for photography in 2008. I took a short term job at a mall photo studio and everything grew from there. The things I love most in my life are God, my wife and kids. I enjoy spending time outdoors especially gardening and landscaping the yard. To my every client is special and I always want to do my best to get them amazing photos to celebrate their lives!

Client Testimonial
When it came time for us to look for our wedding photographer we did not have an easy time that is until we found Matt DeBackere. We were looking for someone who could match our wants and styles and Matt fit the mold perfectly! He was able to work with our busy schedules and exceed our expectations. Our first meeting I thought for sure he would high tail it out, since I had so many different thoughts and ideas; instead he assured me that all my thoughts and ideas were possible and even gave me more. Matt is a blessing to work with as he makes every detail count and the entire time you work with him is a breeze. Him and his wife understood our visions for the day and made it happen. The whole day was smooth, easy, and comfortable thanks to Matt and his wife!

I strongly believe that the most important aspect of wedding planning is picking the perfect photographer. I would absolutely, no questions ask, pick Matt DeBackere again as our wedding photographer. He did an amazing job and I have so many cherished photos form my wedding day as well as our engagement shoot. He was worth every penny and then some.
