About Matthew Hanlon Photography

I am a wedding photographer based in Southern California. I have two beautiful daughters, I’ve been married to my wonderful wife for 14 years and we have a fluffy Goldendoodle named Bacon. Family is at the heart of everything I do.

I’ve always been an observer and when I was around 8 years old, I asked for my own camera and began my photography journey. I went on to study film & video production and eventually ended up at Art Center in Pasadena for photography. I then headed off to NYC and lived there for 9 years. While in New York, I began my journey by working with several top photographers, learning from their expertise. Eventually, I transitioned into conducting my own photo shoots, honing my skills and developing my own unique vision

While living in NYC, I met my wife and to her surprise, I proposed after dating for just 9 months. I just knew she was the one and we got married 2 months later! Our own wedding photos ignited a passion for documenting love stories and lead me to over 250 weddings through the past 14 years
