About Matthew Blassey Photography

Matthew Blassey

Wedding Photographer

My passion for photography began in my early twenties in college, and I haven't stopped shooting since. After earning my BFA in Photography from West Virginia University, my adventures led me down a path of studying lighting & composition with some of the best professional photographers in Pittsburgh. What continues to inspire me is the ability to capture people’s stories in a creative & genuine way, while getting to know them in the process. Capturing emotions and honest expressions are what fuels my creative soul. I take absolute pride in creating photographs that couples can connect with.

My wedding photography is an intuitive fusion of photojournalism & creative portraiture. My focus has always been creating images that have a natural, elegant and editorial style while paying careful attention to lighting and decisive moments. A specialty I’ve worked hard to craft over the years in my wedding photography is taking a casual & calm approach in getting a bride & groom to open up and relax In front of my camera; avoiding anything that feels awkward & posed while coaching them through the picture taking process to look their absolute best.

I shoot Nikon. I use a variety of Nikon pro prime & zoom lenses throughout the various sequences of the day to capture consistently sharp and beautiful images. I also use Adobe Lightroom to edit your images.
Of course! I carry backup cameras, back up memory cards, backup lenses and backup batteries. I have a routine of going through an equipment checklist before I leave for every shoot.
I consider myself to be very patient, easy going and calm. I like to blend into your day without causing distraction and I'm always available to help direct the flow & timing of your day so that all of the important shots are captured while allowing you both to maximize your time with friends and family. matthewblasseyweddings.com/category/photography-testimonials.
Typically I will upload your wedding day images in 4-5 weeks. The reason it takes this amount of time is because I review, edit and enhance each image from your wedding day, giving it the polished look and feel similar to the images you see on my website.
I currently am delivering somewhere between 900-1000+ wedding images for full days coverage. This number can and will fluctuate depending on the flow of the day’s events and other happenings, however that is my ballpark. Engagement sessions are in the 150-200 image range.
Certainly. Every wedding and engagement shoot will come with a print release cd insert card.
Going on 10 years of professional shooting. Before that I spent several years as a 2nd shooter / assistant to various professional photographers and before that I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography from West Virginia University.
I like to describe my style as a blend of photojournalism + creative portraiture. I don't like to force “cheesy poses” as i’m always aiming to create imagery that looks comfortable, elegant and natural. I try and rely on natural light as much as possible as I feel it creates a more dynamic wedding image, but when limited natural light just won’t cut it I then rely on my flashes (ex: dark rooms)
My goal is to keep pricing and package selection simple. Start off by picking a package (either 8 hours or 10 hours) both which include the coverage, enhancement of all your images, a proofing gallery, and all of your high print resolution images on cd with printing rights. Then select A-la-cart add on items if necessary such as an album, engagement session or second photographer. Thats it!
Yes, I have professional photographer colleagues I can call upon in case of an extreme emergency.
