I’m Matt — photographer, filmmaker, and visual storyteller with over a decade of experience behind the lens.

I’ve documented weddings across the country, from remote mountaintops to coastlines and city rooftops, always with the same goal in mind: to capture honest connection and unforgettable moments with bold, cinematic style.

As an Emmy Award-winning creator, I bring a refined eye for storytelling and a deep appreciation for the moments that matter most. Clients often tell me they’ve never felt so at ease in front of a camera—which is the biggest compliment I could hope for. Whether I’m offering gentle direction or stepping back to let a moment unfold, I’m here to document your day with purpose, presence, and an eye for the meaningful details that make it yours.

Working with me means you get more than just beautiful photos or a highlight reel

you get someone who’s fully invested in your experience.

I’m calm under pressure, clear in my direction, and always tuned in to what you need. I know how to balance structure with spontaneity, helping things flow naturally while making sure no moment gets missed.

Whether it’s offering quiet guidance during portraits or blending into the background while you soak it all in, my role is to support you in being fully present. You can trust that every image will reflect the energy, emotion, and intention of your day—without ever feeling staged or forced.

Today, I offer both photography and videography for weddings, elopements, and engagement sessions

Whether in Montana, across the U.S., or abroad, I’m there. I also provide full coverage options with a trusted team of creative partners who share my passion for visual storytelling and client care. We’re here to do more than just show up with cameras—we’re here to collaborate with you, offer guidance, and deliver work that feels personal, cinematic, and deeply meaningful.

and the belief that weddings deserve to be documented with both artistry and authenticity. What started as a passion for photography in high school quickly evolved into a full-time career, fueled by years of experience, travel, and the pursuit of honest human connection.

After earning my degree at the Brooks Institute in California and working in the fast-paced world of commercial filmmaking in Los Angeles, I returned to Montana with a clear vision: to create bold, emotionally rich wedding imagery that captures more than just the “big moments”—but the quiet, in-between ones too.

Matt Ehnes Photography was born from a passion of storytelling

What sets us apart isn’t just the imagery — it’s the experience. 

You’re not getting a vendor who clocks in and out. You’re getting a teammate who’s just as invested in making your day feel effortless, joyful, and fully yours. From the first consult to the final gallery, I’m with you every step of the way—helping you create and preserve something unforgettable.

My work is rooted in the belief that every story, whether it belongs to a couple or a culture, deserves to be told with cinematic intention. Alongside my wedding work, a friend and I own and operate Jared's Detours, a travel media brand dedicated to high-level storytelling for tourism boards and international destinations.

Where my wedding photography focuses on the intimate connection between two people, Jared's Detours explores the connection between people and their local culture. We specialize in uncovering the lesser-known narratives that define a location’s personality. Navigating these two worlds allows me to bring a global perspective to your wedding day.
