Grounded in Connection.
Refined in Delivery.
You’ve built a life that balances ambition with adventure, classic taste with moments of spontaneity. And on your wedding weekend? You want it all. The romantic, the candid, the iconic, and the soulful. You envision a day that flows seamlessly from intimate vows to a champagne-soaked celebration. The kind of wedding where every moment is felt, where the energy is palpable, and where the photographs will bring you back to it, time & time again.
the matt erickson experience
Cleveland + Destination Wedding Photography
On your wedding weekend, I’m that someone — fully there with you and for you. I bring a calming energy when emotions run high, and I know when to dial it up for the dance floor. I move with intention, support your planner + vendor team, and care deeply about how you feel, because that’s what shapes your images.
More than anything, you want someone who gets it. Someone who shows up fully, who sees what others might miss, and who photographs the moments you didn’t realize you’d want to remember.
“Stop searching for a better wedding photographer — they don't exist.”

Honoring your story with art that outlives the celebration or milestone
WEDDING & PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY
No two weddings are the same. But the ones I photograph have some themes in common: connection, intention, and a desire to create an unforgettable experience. Whether you're hosting a black-tie celebration in the city or a destination weekend with your closest friends, I approach each event with a journalist’s instinct and an artist’s soul. Every collection is custom-built to reflect your vision, with room to let the story unfold naturally.

we believe
We start with a conversation about your story, your priorities, and the energy you want to surround your day. Whether you're working with a planner who’s handling it all or coordinating a few details yourself, I’ll meet you where you are and tailor my support accordingly. I want to understand not just what you’re planning, but what it means to you.
01 - Get Acquainted
With thoughtful communication and a collaborative spirit, I’ll help shape a photographic approach that supports the bigger picture. From engagement sessions to timeline planning and creative guidance, I work alongside your planner (or step in with experience-backed insight when needed) to ensure everything feels easy, intentional, and personal.
02 - Prepare With Intention
With a journalist’s instinct and an artist’s soul, I move intuitively—guiding when needed, blending in when not. This is where the magic happens: the connection, the energy, the emotion. From portraits to the dance floor, I’m there for all of it—the poetry and the party.
03 - Capture What Matters
Your preview gallery arrives quickly, offering an early look at what’s to come. The full collection follows with care and precision, thoughtfully edited to blend digital and film into a cohesive, intentional body of work. From heirlooms to albums, I’ll keep you in the loop throughout—ensuring the experience feels complete, even months after the last dance.
04 - Deliver With Purpose
My wife and I couldn't have hoped for a better photographer! He keeps things moving along so you can enjoy the most important day of your life and still have amazing photos. My recommendation? Stop searching for a better wedding photographer - they don't exist.
