Matt and Ashley Photography

Matt and Ashley Photography We are a husband and wife photography team specializing in weddings, engagements & portraiture. Before all else, we are husband and wife. The rest is history.

We are just incredibly lucky we both have a love for photography and an immense desire to document the stories of others. We began photographing together on the sidelines of football games when we worked for our university’s student newspaper. We fell in love and fell in love with spending time together behind the camera. The twin lens reflex camera in our logo isn't just superficial – it holds a

lot of significance to us as a team and as a couple. The two lenses, like us as photographers, must both work in perfect conjunction with each other to produce a successful photograph. Parallel to the lenses, our vision must always be in focus. We are based in Michigan, but we love to travel. We specialize in weddings, engagements and portraiture. We can't wait to hear from you!

Stella is fundraising for her first Color Run in support of Hawkins Elementary, her new school!

We thought we would reach out to the biggest supporters we know — If you have the means to help her reach her goal, we would be immeasurably grateful! Funds go directly to our students + school and helps support field trips + events, family assistance efforts, staff appreciation and more.

We will add the link in our profile and story!

Ashley will be raffling off hand-stitching on an item of choice from those who have donated $15 or more. 🥰

THANK YOU in advance!

Wow, this session!!!

Jillian and Joseph embraced just going with the flow and you can feel in the photos.

The biggest thing we can all learn from engagement photos is time spent. We don’t have to add silly props or pretend to be something we aren’t. Life is about all small moments between the big events.

Thank you to for having me out to photograph the final hole of the 80th Silver Cup and Panelli Cup Championship.

Someone was messing with the atmospheric rain switch all afternoon, but the course and the winners really shined at the end.

Wow, what a weekend!

Brenna and Nic’s wedding at their private residence in Empire, Michigan was the dreamiest way to close out my 40th birthday weekend. Picture this: Lake Michigan breezes, a surprise military flyover, Cadillacs, and cowboy hats. Yes, it was that kind of magic. 🤠✈️✨

Stacy from never misses—her events always strike that perfect mix of laid-back and unforgettable. More from this Northern Michigan stunner coming soon! 💛

It’s impossible to list all the reasons we love you, but I am reminded of them in hundreds of moments every day. Happy 40th birthday, babe. (How you get more handsome with each passing year, I’ll never know.😍)

PS Stella is curious if we can have cake for dinner.

Won’t lie, I always thought celebrating children’s preschool graduations was a bit silly. That was until we experienced our first with Stella.

Watching her learn and grow has been unreal. She’s incredibly kind, caring and smart. All wonderful qualities she gets from her Mom. She’s curious, asks deep questions that are usually followed by “why?” She also doesn’t settle for no easily - that’s a trait she gets that from me - we like to call it “iron will.”

After graduation she was done and didn’t want to take photos. I begged for just one! The people pleaser in her caved, but she really meant one and we were done!

Hence, I present the perfect Stella photo. I know someday she’ll be thankful she took “one.”

Ferrari themed engagement party?

Without a doubt the coolest engagement party location I’ve ever photographed. Complete with tons of cars, amazing food and a RACING simulator.

I had the amazing opportunity to be the “house photographer” for all three of the graduation ceremonies.

As a dad, it hit me a little differently. Watching all these “kids” walk across the stage and seeing the pride on their parents’ faces got me emotional. I won’t lie—probably had a few tears thinking about what it must feel like to see your baby all grown up.

The hardest part of being a parent is learning to be present in the middle of it all.

You’re running on empty, dreaming of full nights of sleep… and yet somehow already missing what just passed.

The newborn snuggles. The sleepy sounds. The way they fit so perfectly in your arms.

It all changes so quickly. That’s why I photograph it – to help you hold onto the moments that are already slipping through your fingers. ❤️

From their wedding day to welcoming their firstborn and now their second, I’ve had the honor of telling this family’s story through every chapter. It’s always special to step into their world for a bit, to witness the everyday beauty and capture the heart of who they are right now. This session felt so true to them, especially that first image of big brother doing his best not to touch his sleeping sibling.

If you’ve been thinking about family photos, this is your sign. Let’s make it happen!

Details should be used to enhance the story.

They should be more than pretty isolated objects neatly propped up. They should have something to say about what you notice, but nobody else sees.
