Testimonials

First off, you cannot go wrong with Matt and Chera! I enjoy photography, and have been dreaming about my wedding photographer for years. Photography was very important to us. The way I looked at it, it is the only thing you can really appreciate over and over again (besides each other of course) for years to come. No one is going to really remember what you ate, or what your flowers looked like...but the photography will be looked at and admired for years. This was our splurge. Cost wise, they are in line with other photography professionals. Sure you can get pictures done cheaper by less experienced people, but sadly, many of my friends who went this route ended up regretting their pictures, and later dressed back up to get some redos. Considering the time and work they put into each picture, on your wedding day, and in the editing after, they really are not charging much.

I met with Matt and Chera alone, and I loved them from the second I walked in the door. They made me feel so comfortable. I knew right away they were what we were looking for. I drove back over and gave them the deposit the next morning, just to make sure I had them booked...NOTHING was going to jeopardize this. The first day my husband met them was our wedding day. He can be quite shy, but Matt and Chera made him feel like they have been friends for years.

The images of this incredible, creative, and loving team speak volumes for themselves. The images of the day that you spent countless hours, planning, pinning, and dreaming about are the one thing you will keep and cherish forever. Invitations will fade, party favours and centre pieces will become clutter in your home, and the dress will collect dust in your basement.

Matt and Chera didn’t photograph my wedding day. They captured in still images my father’s pride and loving attention to his own wife as she witnessed her baby girl take one more step away from her. They imprinted in brilliant colour my sister’s unexpected emotional reaction to this ever so grand occasion, my husband’s siblings and their gentle care for one another, the joy and laughter of our friends as we celebrated. And in one single image that our daughters will grow up with, they captured the love of a young couple embarking on a journey that will last a life time. This one particular image is not only of our wedding day, but of the hope, love, expectations, and excitement of a marriage.

We used Matt and Chera for our Christmas wedding. We were extremely impressed and would do it all over again in a heartbeat (and probably will for future family photos and the like!) Not only is their work amazing, but they are seriously fun people who will make the day a pleasure. In addition to being technically excellent, you really want to make sure that you get along with your photographers, since they will be hanging out with you for the most important day of your life! We got so many comments on how unobtrusive they were, like people barely knew they were there, but still ended up with over 600 fully edited photos of every moment and detail. We even submitted our photos to Weddingbells magazine and we were featured in the Fall/Winter edition.

...and from the father of the bride

Matt and Chera you two were absolutely awesome. From beginning to end you were very professional and absolutely wonderful, you just fit right in and seemed like you had been part of our family for a lifetime. If you happen to need new parents at any time just let us know and we will adopt you into our family! Your photos are incredible but the fact you are able to separate the necessary work you need to do in such a discrete and personal manner is what makes you both so great. I have been at some weddings where the photographer was the centre of attention but definitely not so with you guys. You added such a great dimension to the wedding, one which I had never thought of before and certainly made Sarah’s day the perfect day she had hoped and dreamed for. Thanks so much for everything and you know where we live!

Frequently asked questions

Where are you located?

We are located in the Moncton / Dieppe / Riverview NB area, and we primarily photograph weddings all over New Brunswick, PEI, and Nova Scotia. That said, if you are getting married a little farther afield, please send us an email with the details, and we can see what we can do :)

How many photographers will cover my wedding day?

Two. When you hire us you get two photographers, two complimenting styles, two super sneaky photo ninjas (Matt is by far the sneakiest), extra photos, and double the gear (cameras, lenses, and memory cards to ensure everything is backed up).

What is your style?

Chera’s style is romantic, moment based, full of soft light, laughter, love and awesome connection! Matt’s talent is shown in his technique with his dramatic sky shots, the ability to find the most beautiful backgrounds, to MacGyver cool shots almost anywhere, and his quiet personality allows him to remain in the background during the day capturing stunning candid photos.

How long have you been wedding photographers?

We have been a side by side wedding photography team now for over 15 years. We started photographing weddings when we first began dating and through our university years, and we have been lucky enough to work together ever since. Do you travel? We have been so so lucky to travel all over the maritimes, parts of Canada and the globe photographing our clients! We have photographed weddings in Toronto, Lake Louise, Las Vegas, Punta Cana, and we look forward to traveling more; send us off an email to get a custom travel quote!

Your pictures and portraits look so candid and natural; are your couples models that just know how to act in front of camera or do you help the camera shy people out?

First off, our couples are all adorable and super in love so they do make it easy. But secondly, we always give guidance, instructions and encouragement to our couples! One of the fun things about being a couple ourselves is we can mirror the pose we are showing you; we put you in front of a gorgeous background, we find amazing light, we give you an idea for a pose (and demonstrate the pose) and then we let you have fun, joke, flirt and make it your own. We always feel like we are a team with our couples; we all work together to make stunning images!

When can do I get my wedding images after the wedding?

You can expect to see all of your photos between 4-6 weeks after your big day! We also try to give a few sneak peeks on Facebook and Instagram before you receive all of your images!

Are you also videographers?

Matt has been making beautiful wedding trailer like videos for our clients, so if you are looking for a short and sweet video preview of your day feel free to ask us all about it!! Here is a link to check out our video work: https://www.youtube.com/yorkephoto

Are my wedding images edited?

Yes, each image is tweaked, colour corrected, polished and taken care of with certain parts of the day getting extra care! And yes, you don’t have to worry at all if you wake up to a blemish on your wedding day it can be easily edited out: )

How many images will I get?

A lot : ) Matthew and I both are photographing the entire day and with two shooters and two different angles, you are going to get a lot of photos. Every wedding is different and has a different amount of hours of coverage and opportunities for moments etc. With shorter coverage you can expect around 500-600 photos, and with longer coverage you can expect even more!!

Do you need a shot list of ideas and inspirations for our wedding day?

We love capturing what actually happens on your day: the smiles, tears, the snuggles the interactions. If we work from a list, we can’t guarantee getting everything from the list and it possible we might end up missing some things that really happen because we are trying to make the list shots occur. So what we do is we talk extensively before the wedding, we basically become besties, we share pinterest boards, you tell us which weddings/engagement shoots we’ve shot fit with your style, we find out what you love and what you don’t and then on the day of the wedding we know you and your style and photograph your day with that in mind!! We also, have an awesome form you fill out before the wedding telling us who your VIP family and friends are and if there are any moments or mementos that we should make sure to capture artistically!

How do I book my date?

We would love to meet (or set up a video chat) with you and see if we would be a good fit for your day! That will also give us a chance to chat about our wedding photography package options, and if everything sounds good we will all sign our contract, take a retainer via e-transfer or credit card towards the package of your choice, and the date will be yours.

Send us a quick email to check if your date is available : [email protected]

Do you charge tax?

Yes, we do all of the adult-y business things!

What are your package prices?

Short answer : our wedding photography packages start at $3000 for basic coverage with digital files included. Longer answer : it depends on whether you want all the delicious photo goodies like extra hours and video highlights and maybe a physical album, etc. We would love to meet and chat a bit to see if we would be a good fit for your day and go through the package options in detail.

How does the album design process work?

We predesign the albums and then you can proof them online (or in person whatever is easiest) to make any changes that you would like!

Do we feed you at the Reception?

Oh, you know the way to our hearts: ) We have awesome clients who feed us as they know they will get even more wonderful images from their from their un-hangry photo friends on their wedding day. It is even extra awesome when they feed us at the same time as the bridal party/family tables are eating, that way we give you a photo break while you eat as the candids at that time aren’t usually the most sought after; ) Then when you are all done we are back to shooting all of the awesome candids, speeches, slideshows, and other fun events!

How long should we budget in for photo time on our wedding day for the couple shots/bridal party and family photos?

We have been to over 200 weddings, and we have found if we have at least two and a half hours for photos on your wedding day then wedding day timelines running a bit late we still have ample time to get lovely and artistic wedding images; if weddings photos are extra important, and you have lots of different locations you would like to go to on your wedding day, or if there is lots of traveling between your getting ready/ceremony/reception location, I would budget in even more time.

I have read through your whole F.A.Q do I get a gold star?

Yes, you have just won 225 Yorke cool points and a gold star : )

**please note “Yorke cool points” cannot be exchanged for cash, and have no intrinsic value except as a verification of your coolness ;)
