Photography

"Matthew is one of the most creative, nurturing and inspiring photographers I've had the pleasure of working with. What an amazing day!" - Alison (pictured above), March 2018

Matthew's focus in photography is wedding, couples, and portraits, and his experience with landscape photography adds to his creative ability when taking outdoor photo shoots.

His image style is warm and focuses on using genuine care and kindness to elicit pleasing photos.

Web Design

With ten years of experience, Matthew develops clean, beautiful, and effective websites for his clients. His technique is writing the same raw web code that powers sites like Facebook, Wordpress, and Squarespace themselves instead of using their pre-designed templates. His driving philosophy behind designing websites is "content drives design", the opposite of most web designers who use pre-designed themes and templates that are designed for masses instead of individuals. Matthew takes this approach very seriously and gives him unmatched creative freedom to design the site you want for your unique needs.

Music

With fifteen years experience, Matthew is a seasoned classical clarinetist and a trained orchestral/wind conductor. He also performs regularly with the high-energy Zimbabwean music group, Chikomo Marimba. He currently serves as one of Trinity Episcopal Church's Celtic evening musicians and performs regularly with the Blue Ridge Orchestra, the Land of the Sky Symphonic Band, and the Asheville Wind Quintet.
