WHAT I'M ALL ABOUT
Now booking 2024 + 2025
MY WORK
My purpose is to deeply experience human connection. I am happiest spending time with those I love, bringing people together, and capturing the meaningful relationship you have with yourself and others the best way I know how, through my photographs.
I'm most inspired when surrounded by nature with good people, gleaming golden light, deep shadows, nostalgic music, and a really good outfit.
You'll find me photographing weddings, families, portraits, and working with businesses small and large on brand images. I'll document your personality and style without trying to fit you into a mold, and I'll snag those little moments you may not have known even existed. My clients have referred to me as " quirky, relatable, calming, and inspiring." My biggest priorities when we work together are to bring out your confidence, to make you feel comfortable enough for you to be YOU, and most importantly to have a hell of a good time! You don't have to be a model or look like a famous instagram couple to deserve beautiful photos. All humans are welcome and wanted here. I'll take the time to get to know you, hear what you hope for from our time creating together, and produce images that feel like you. When we shoot together you won't have to worry about where to put your hands or what looks good because I got you. You can trust that I will give you my absolute best.
MY LIFE
I moved to Minneapolis, MN in October 2022 after a decade in Portland, OR and five years in Monterey, CA prior to that to be closer to family.
My Daughter Louella is two years old and my Husband Peter and I are completely obsessed with Lou and our dog Pig. We'll celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary this year and have known each other since we were 18 years old. Damn, I love that man and our little family.
I'm a sucker for film photos, dive bars, a well-made hat, and days spent wandering in the woods. As a family our favorite thing is to jump in our truck and hit the road with our teardrop trailer in tow for some good ol' exploring.

Hi, it's me.
FAQ
What are your rates?
Please contact me directly for packages and rates. I have investment guides ready to send to you at your request with all of my pricing information.
Do you give discounts?
Nope, gotta pay the bills.
How long have you been a Photographer?
I've had a camera in my hand for as long as I can remember and I've been shooting professionally for 11 years. I've captured over 200 weddings and had countless people in front of my lens. I truly love my career and wouldn't change a thing.
Where are you based out of and are you willing to travel?
I am based out of Minneapolis, MN but travel often. Take me with you!
Do you charge for travel?
Yes. E-mail with your plans to discuss in detail.
A basic guideline -When flying/traveling out of state I charge for roundtrip airfare, rental car, and lodging.
Will you bring a second shooter?
This is an option for you and depends on which package you choose.
Will you edit my images?
While photographing you I focus on flattering, unique, and story-telling angles. I pay attention to the details. I will let you know if your hands look awkward, food in your teeth, mascara smeared, have flyaway hairs, etc. As far as photoshop if you have a small blemish I will retouch skin. I do not participate in photoshopping or manipulating the body. My images are of raw and real humans, and are never overly retouched.
Will you help with planning?
I got your back! I've been in the industry awhile and am more than happy to help with vendors suggestions, locations, timelines, outfits, etc.
Can I see an entire wedding album?
Absolutely. I'm happy to share multiple full albums with you so you can get an idea of what you'll be receiving.
Can I have all of the images shot, RAW files, or unedited images?
No. I have spent so much time perfecting my craft that I can't have naked images floating around on the internet. A big part of hiring me to shoot for you is trust. That trust is knowing what you receive will be comparable to the body of work that I share on-line. The final images you receive are a gallery of what you hired me to make. Unlike many Photographer's, I hand edit every single you receive. In the end, I give you the absolute best photos I possibly can, and put the rough drafts away.
When can I expect my images?
This varies by how busy I am, the season, and type of shoot.
-Portrait, Product, and Brand shoots tend to be delivered in about 3 weeks.
-Weddings tend to be delivered in about 10 weeks.
How many images from my wedding will I receive?
I don't put an exact number on images because no two weddings are the same. A rough estimate would be between 50-75 images per hour.

I truly can't say enough good things about Mattie! My husband and I hadn't had professional photos done since our wedding almost five years ago and we were wanting something more updated for our home. Mattie captured us as we are - she photographed our personalities and love for each other and created photos that are special on so many levels. We will forever treasure them! I couldn't have asked for more. It was so much fun and we are absolutely in love with our images.
-Rachel Kuhn
“We love working with Mattie SO much! She is incredibly talented, has a great eye and always delivers amazing photos. The photos we’ve used of Mattie’s for Ads/social media for our business have had a huge positive impact on our business. We can’t get enough of her work.”
-ChelsI-Buyer/ Manager at Evolve Fitwear
If you are thinking about booking Mattie, my advice is: do it. I started inquiring about a wedding package about a year in advance, and throughout that whole year Mattie responded in a timely manner- even though I know she was busy. She answered all of my questions and made suggestions from her previous experiences, never seeming pushy or annoyed by my questions (I asked a lot of questions). On the day of the wedding, she arrived early to the venue and started shooting shortly after. Mattie has a presence that radiates professionalism, kindness and humor; and it made my family and wedding party feel like they were with an old friend. Everyone mentioned how much they enjoyed her being there, not to mention, she got my whole wedding party laughing! The images I received are the most beautiful, high quality images I have ever received- in fact- when my husband and I sat down to go through the photos together, he was speechless! We hope to get the chance to book her again!
Mattie is truly magic and I would recommend her to any of my friends and family.

"We appreciate Mattie so much and she is a joy to work with. Her photos are personal. They just look better when a genuine human like her takes them."
-Bev Shellum
"You encapsulated our wedding so artistically, yet raw, vulnerable, and emotionally. We are so happy fate lead us to you."
-Leah Manns
"Her photography style is untraditional, her images are whimsical, and her talent is undeniable. Most girls have their dream wedding planned outby the age of eight. I was never one of those girls. I didn’t really know whatI wanted, I just knew what I didn’t. One thing I knew for sure, Mattie Krall would photograph our wedding. Having known Mattie for several years I have hadthe privilege of following her work. She isn’t just a photographer, she’s an artist. She is professional, genuine, and her bold wildspirit radiates through her and the camera lens.She captured the magic, the light, the emotions,all the major moments - even the ones we missed. Because of Mattie we can look back on our wedding day and relive every moment, and how beautifully she photographed our love story. Mattie captured exactly what we had envisionedand we are forever grateful. "

"Mattie is amazing! I’ve done some brand photos with her for my business and she did family photos for my son’s 1st birthday. The photos were everything I had hoped for. I wanted candid, natural shots and she nailed it! I love that Mattie provides you a large number of photos from your shoot so you can choose your favorites and you have access to them rather than some photographers packages where you only get 5 or 10 photos and that’s it. Mattie is SO good at what she does and has such an ease about her which makes you feel super comfortable when she is shooting you. She also has the best style so if you’re looking for recommendations on what to wear for your shoot you’re in good hands! I would recommend Mattie to anyone and I will definitely be using her again!!”
-Rachelle Demoskoff of 86 and Trend
Having Mattie photograph my wedding day was more than I could have ever asked for. She was absolutely phenomenal! I have followed her work for many years and new that one day she would photograph my wedding one day. Her images were everything I had ever wanted and exactly how I wanted to look back on my wedding day. Mattie was so great in making us feel comfortable during our photos that she captured every candid moment and every emotion between the two of us. It felt just like working with an old friend. All in all I could not have asked for a better photographer and will always always always recommend Mattie Krall Photography!
-Ashley Griffin
"Mattie did an amazing job photographing ourwedding. The first picture she sent alone was worth the cost. She is fun, kind,and stress free to work with. She is extremely talented and I could notrecommend her enough."
-Leah and Alex Van-Lucci
"Last month I stepped out of my comfort zone and did a shoot with Mattie. Her encouragement and boss babe attitude coaxed me out of my shell. Once I got the photos back I saw myself and my life in a new light. Although I still see my flaws, these photos make me feel warm, proud, and honest. She captured the authentic me."
-Ali Werner
"Not only did Mattie make Levi and me feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera, but she also brought our wedding to live through the photos. Now, every time we look through the album we will be able to relive all of the intimate moments and the hilarious action shots she captured of our wedding day. Please check out Mattie for any of your photography needs. "
-Julia Seif
"Mattie did our engagement photos and she is an amazing photographer. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She puts her heart and soul into her work and she will become your friendt throughout the process."
-Beth Lowenstein
"Pictures are very personal and that doesn't always show if you aren't able to let yourself be in the moment and allow your light to shine through. Mattie put us at ease and allowed our guards to come down. She is calming and inspiring. I knew that even being the incredibly camera shy individual person I am she would somehow capture us in our element and she did that and so much more. I look back on our wedding photos and feel the memories seep through me. Perfect strangers couldn't help but smile at what she captures because you feel like you are a part of the dream world with the perfect sun rays, the landscape that comes alive, and the light and shadows of that dance. Mattie made our magical day live forever. "
