Your wedding union is the beginning of your family's legacy. Photos from your wedding will be the first heirloom of your new family, and one that will be passed down to your future generations. It is a once in a lifetime event and it deserves care, attention to detail, and a tremendous amount of thought. I strive for my clients to not only be happy with their photos today, but also in 50 years.

Legacy Union is Matthew Smith. Originally hailing from Iowa, Matthew has lived & worked in St. Louis, Honolulu, Chicago, and has finally landed in Los Angeles, California. He is devoted to visual excellence, producing uplifting work, and pursuing beauty. With a passionate eye for capturing the spirit of people, Matthew seeks the unique human moments that give life to photographs.

Compelling subjects and collaborating with others, has kept his work fresh and constantly maturing. He loves well-designed things, well-prepared food, and well-told stories. He has had the opportunity to work for a diverse set of clientele, travel to beautiful places, and (his favorite) met amazing people. He would truly love to capture the beginning of your legacy through his lens.
