Bio
Jim Ace
I highly recommend Matthew Witchell. I've hired him three times, and each time he's gotten me great shots in challenging circumstances. He went above and beyond, doing whatever it took to get the perfect "money shot." Matt is a true professional photographer, with a great eye, great gear, and fantastic skills. He's also a good person and hilarious. I look forward to hiring him again. The gigs I’ve hired Matt for are documentary and photojournalism. Given his background and experience shooting for newspapers and magazines, he was the perfect person. He knew how and when to be in the right place at the right time to get the shots we needed, and did whatever it took to make it happen. Without drama. Without hand holding. Without telling him what to do. He knew what to do. He just did it. For most of our events, there is one critical moment that you have to capture. Matt has the background to know how to capture that moment. There is great value for us having someone that is

Witchell offers exemplary event photography. He is a true professional in a field often overrun with amateurs. We have been blessed to partner with him for a number of our special events including our Spring Gala and State Conference. His images are expertly crafted - whether candid or staged, Matthew's eye is able to turn even the most mundane event shots into intricate and interesting images. He is a true storyteller. His work is of the utmost quality, and quickly and professionally processed. As a non-profit partner, we appreciate Witchell's dedication to his craft and his generosity. I would highly recommend him for any corporate or special event photography need you may have.

We recently hired Matthew to shoot an event we were hosting. Matthew not only was able to work within our unique demands but did so better then I could have expected any one else. He arrived at our event early to set up and was extremely knowledgeable about his trade, helping us determine the best way to make sure our event was captured. Most importantly, he was charismatic. Our guest had a great time working with him and it shows in our photos. This was an event that people were excited about for months and are still reminiscing on and Matthew help capture it all on film. We couldn't have been more pleased.
