Meet Matt Mead Photography

Welcome to Destination Weddngs with Matt Mead Photography – whatever your adventure may be….it deserves to be remembered.

We’re Better Together

Based in Erie, PA, we are partners in business and in life because, quite simply, we’re better together. Matt brings the creative vision and passion for storytelling to everything we do together, whether traveling abroad or snuggling up at home. Teri brings the warmth and organization to our partnership. From truly spectacular feats of culinary delight in the kitchen to having a line in the spreadsheet for just about everything we need to keep track of, her ability to organize a space and make people feel at home is nothing short of brilliant. We bring out the best in each other, and together, we bring out the best in you, through strategically creating images that both tell a story and preserve your memories with captivating authenticity.

Matt Mead

Lead Photographer/Partner

I first got into photography after becoming a certified SCUBA diver. I loved capturing my underwater adventures, and that love grew into better camera gear and photography education to hone my skills. Eventually, photography took me out of the water and onto land for my adventures. And it’s a good thing too, fish are terrible at following posing directions!

Some other important facts to know about me:
I’m a lover of fine whiskey, Italian cuisine, and Teri Mead, but not necessarily in that order! After nearly 20 years together, there is honestly nothing better than a meal prepared side by side in our kitchen and enjoyed together on the couch with a bottle of red wine.

Teri Mead

Studio Manager/Partner

I’m a numbers gal. Give me a spreadsheet over a camera any day of the week…while Matt works his magic behind the lens, I work mine behind the scenes, managing bookings and client orders. Taking what I have learned from a career in nonprofit program administration, I support Matt through business management and focused client experience.

Some fun facts about me:
If wine were a love language, I would speak fluent Pinot Noir. My Kate Spade purse collection is only rivaled by the dog hair collection that covers my lap, thanks to two very spoiled puppies.

Him and his team were everywhere during our wedding and reception capturing the raw emotion of the day.  His posed photos are outstanding, but his ability to make candid photography into art is breathtaking.  I am addicted to looking through my photos.

Matt is very professional and helped her figure out poses and made it very comfortable for her. The location at the beach was perfect as well as the lighting, and poses. This guy knows his stuff! Truly stunning pictures and the web gallery is very lovely. Well done!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. There are not enough words to describe just how wonderful our experience with Matt & Teri was. From the very first e-mail, communications with they was responsive and extremely friendly. Matt had no problem doing the photos on private property where my daughter use to run the woods when she was younger. She loved the photo shoot and talked for days about how much fun it was. The photos Matt captured were stunning and will look beautiful hanging on our wall for years to come. Thank you so much Matt & Teri!
