whose behind the lens
Matt Janczak
owner & Lead Photographer
I photograph weddings for couples who want their day remembered as it truly felt — not how it was staged.
​
My approach is documentary at its core. I work quietly, with intention, allowing moments to unfold naturally while staying present to the subtle details that often pass unnoticed. I believe the most meaningful photographs come from trust, connection, and the freedom to simply be yourselves.
​
I’m drawn to the in-between moments — the pauses, the glances, the emotion that exists when no one is performing. Those fleeting seconds are where memory lives.
A Quiet Approach
Weddings move quickly. Emotions surface without warning. My role is not to direct every moment, but to observe, anticipate, and preserve what matters as it happens.
​
I’ll guide gently when needed, but most of the time I step back and let the story take shape. This allows your photographs to feel honest, unforced, and deeply personal — a reflection of the day as you experienced it, not as it was instructed.
“What truly sets Matt apart is everything he does behind the camera. He made us feel completely at ease, guided us naturally, and captured the most meaningful moments without anything feeling forced. The photographs are stunning and timeless, but the experience itself is what we’ll always remember.”

why this matters...
There are countless photographers to choose from, but the right one is the person who understands how you want to feel when you look back.
​
I care deeply about creating work that holds meaning years from now — photographs that don’t just show what your wedding looked like, but bring you back to the emotion of it. The laughter, the nerves, the quiet moments, and everything in between.
Beyond the camera
Outside of weddings, I’m someone who values simplicity — time with family, meaningful conversations, good coffee, and being outdoors whenever possible. Those same values shape the way I work: calm, grounded, and intentional.
