About

On WeddingWire since 2011

Matt Lusk is a wedding and portrait photographer based on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. He realized his passion for photography on a solo backpacking trip through Australia and Indonesia. He is a self-taught photographer with a tireless work ethic and is known for braving extreme conditions to get the shot. His work is regularly featured in local, regional, and international publications, including Surfer, Surfing, Surfers Journal, Sport Fishing, Marlin, Eastern Surf, Our State, Outer Banks Wedding Guide, and Outer Banks Bride Magazine. He was awarded ''Photographer of the Year'' by Eastern Surf Magazine in 2014. Matt spends his free time outdoors surfing, fishing, and diving.

''My approach to documenting weddings is simple: have fun and tell your wedding story in a unique, creative, and unobtrusive way. I’ll make you laugh and bring out the best in you. Often times you won't even know I'm there. I work very hard behind the scenes to capture the emotion and feels of your day. Your final collection images will include a blend of artistic details, intimate candid moments, dramatic pulled back scenics, and timeless portraiture highlighting your love and connection. Not only do I want you to be extremely happy with your wedding photographs, I want you to have fun taking them. Can't tell you how many times I've heard, ''Wow Matt, I'm not a picture person, but you made that really fun, quick, and easy! Thank you!'' I believe every wedding gallery should not look the same!! You only get married once. Wedding photography is an investment. How do you want your story to be told? Look forward to hearing from you!''

Put Matt at the top of your guestlist

Matt was the first vendor that we booked for our wedding. This was the most important vendor for me, every couple has certain things that are more important to them and photographs was something that fell at the top of our list. We booked Matt off of work that we had seen when looking at different photographers in the area. Matt's work speaks for itself, but theres another important piece of working with a photographer and thats the person behind the lens. Having someone take multiple pictures of you (in this case, all day long) can be uncomfortable for some people and they might feel awkward but that wasn't the case with working with Matt. Not only did he make my husband feel at ease and relaxed (thank god) but he's just an awesome guy to hang out with. He's someone you want at your wedding, on your guest list. He just makes the day fun and light hearted. We had such a blast with him that day and can't wait to hang out with him again next time we are in the OBX. Matt also gave us a discount on his charter the week of the wedding and took my husband and his wedding party out fishing. They had such a great time and I'd also recommend any couple to have Matt take you fishing, he knows his fishing. The second shooter, John who worked with Matt at our wedding was such an awesome guy too, we didn't feel like the vendors we hired were their working and doing a job, we genuinley felt that they were just hanging out with us having a fun night and I think that's really something special. Matt has a close relationship with lots of the vendors in the OBX and I think that's really important when you have a bunch of vendors together that work so well off of one another. Our wedding photos really captured the emotion of our wedding day which you don't always see when you look at wedding photos. If you're still reading this and haven't already booked Matt Lusk for your wedding then book him right now, you'll be happy you did.

Matt Lusk is Amazing!

I couldn't recommend Matt Lusk more. He went above and beyond on not just our wedding day, but for our engagement session as well. Matt got every single shot that I wanted plus some. You never had to worry about what type of pose to do because he was filled with ideas. He even got my 2 year old daughter to smile for pictures. He was engaged with the entire wedding party on everything we wanted. Our pictures turned out amazing, there is no way I can pick out a favorite. He got our pictures back to us incredibly fast and I haven't stopped looking at them sense. I would absolutely recommend Matt Lusk for any of your photography needs, especially weddings.

Matt Lusk is absolutely amazing!

Matt was able to make my wedding dreams come true. His knowledge, expertise and patience made the day seamless. I never had to wonder if he was going to get the shot, because he was right there capturing it all. He was super professional, easy to talk to and fit it with our crowd so well.
When the photos came I almost cried because they were pure perfection. He was able to capture every moment perfectly. If you are going to choose Matt for your wedding day you will never be disappointed!
