Evan Frost Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Santa Cruz, NM

I'm an award winning photojournalist by trade who's been shooting weddings in my spare time for the last decade. I'll bring a calm and steadying presence to your wedding day, making sure your day goes smoothly and letting you focus on celebrating your partnership with those you love most. I'm based in Santa Fe but happy to travel wherever you need me to. If my packages don't exactly fit your needs, reach out and we can make something custom just for you.

Evan exceeded all expectations for our wedding photographer. He was communicative leading up to the wedding, asked for a pinterest board to get a feel for our aesthetic, and scheduled a walk-through of the venue where he shared his insight on best photo locations and times. He helped us schedule the ceremony to have the best lighting for the time of year, months in advance! This guy's a professional. Day-of he was like a ninja--we barely ever saw him, but in most of the guests' photos there he was in the background with his camera. And once the photos were delivered we knew he was everywhere, capturing us and our families and guests in the perfect moments. Thanks to Evan we have absolutely gorgeous photographs that preserved the magic of our wedding day. Cannot recommend him enough! Book him now!

Matthew took our wedding photos back in February 2024 and we could not have asked for a better photographer. Before the wedding we had several calls and he made sure he knew how the day was going to run and what type of photos we wanted him to prioritize. We really wanted a lot of candid moments of us and our family and Matthew delivered! He captured some amazing and beautiful moments from our ceremony and many fun moments from our reception as well a little details that we did not have time to appreciate because we were so busy being the “bride and groom” in the moment! We are finally taking some time to print our photos and looking back through our gallery makes us feel like we are reliving our beautiful day over and over again. Thank you Matthew for capturing so many beautiful moments that we will look back on and cherish for the rest of our lives.
