Pittsburgh Wedding Photographer
Throughout Matthew Blassey’s career as a professional wedding photographer, he has come to the understanding that there is much more to being a successful wedding photojournalist than simply taking pictures. Matthew believes wedding photography should give a complete and vivid account of your most important day rather than being a disjointed collection of memories. Matthew Blassey Photography strives to create wedding photographs that tell an artistic and visual narrative of your wedding day, not only capturing timeless expressions but vibrant emotion. Matthew’s goal is to create this story through his signature style of fusing both fashion photography and photojournalistic imagery. From these two styles, Matthew seeks out defining compositions, angles, and vibrant lighting to build a visual timeline of your day. With each new wedding, he makes a conscious decision to challenge himself and approach each scene differently to deliver a strictly unique collage of your special day. “I work hard to build strong and long-lasting relationships with my client couples; and I aim to achieve a level of connection where they no longer feel like clients ... but rather friends” - Matthew Blassey
