Matt DeBackere Photography

So you're getting married, congratulations! This will be one of the most exciting and memorable moments in your life and it's important that the people you find to share in your wedding day have the same enthusiasm and care about the day that you do! You want to make sure you find a photographer that is going to give you a unique, artistic, and fun look to all your pictures.

That's where I come in, many people hire me for their wedding day not just because of my awesome images, but even more so for my personality. It's my goal to make sure you get totally awesome pictures from you're day while keeping things fun and relaxed and taking all the hassle out it! I truly feel like after every wedding I gain a new set of close friends that have blessed me with allowing me to share in one of the most important days of their life!

I truly like to take the time to get to know my clients and give them not just pictures that are unique, but pictures that are unique to just them! Everyone has a different story and I want every picture I take to reflect YOUR story!

So okay you've read all the mushy stuff now you're thinking okay what do I have to do to get this guy to shoot my wedding! (cuz I gotta have him!) Simple, just call or email me and we can set up a time for you to come into the studio so we can discuss packages, look at albums, and answer any questions you have. Or if you just want to come and see all the huge prints on the wall that's cool too ;)

Because I spend most of my time focusing on the many weddings I book each year as well as High School Senior Portraits in the summer; portrait sessions are booked on a limited basis, please contact me to check my availability.

There are tons of reasons to come in for a portrait session, but you only need one: GREAT PICTURES!

My goal is to make every shoot fun and relaxing as possible. I always love hearing from clients how much fun they had during the shoot! I know having professional portraits of you and your family can sometimes be nerving but clients always walk away feeling great and having a blast! I promise!

The Info:
Most portrait sessions last about 1 hour. The investment for your session is $75 which is due at the time of your session. Afterwards the photos will be done within about 2 weeks and you can come back into the studio to view your pictures on the projection screen and order what you want. There are many different options on printing sizes, finishing, and numerous products. Don't worry though I'll guide you through what I think would work best for you!

Well you're finally here, geesh took long enough to get you ready for college! ;) It's one of the most important times in your life and we want to make sure you have photos that show who you are and of course make you look really good, and have fun doing it!

So here's the deal, choose as many outfits and locations as you want:
1 Hour Session $100
2 Hour Session $200
3 Hour Session $300
Got it? Okay so once you choose that just contact me to set up your shoot. We can go over location choices and outfits either through email, phone, or just stop by the studio. Don't worry if you don't know what "style" you're looking for or where you want to go! I've dealt with this plenty and can advise you on all of that, but if you already have thoughts please share!

And for those of you who want the ultimate experience in your Senior photos that no one else has?
