Matlai Photography

My husband and I hired Rose to photograph our wedding after seeing her amazing photos online. She endured our plans and venue changing multiple times due to outside circumstances. She was professional and handled everything I threw at her with grace and professionalism and let me tell you, there were some high stress moments! She helped make our elopement a breeze. She not only provided stellar references, ideas and recommendations, but she made our entire process stress free. She’s a unique, kind, intelligent and artistic photographer who knows how to capture the right moments. She is laid back and super cool. I adore her and hope our relationship is lifelong because I intend to hire her again and again for other special moments, if she will allow. She’s not a cheesy commercial type of photographer who does it for the “gram” but a badass professional who makes you feel beautiful and equally badass. I love her and so happy we found her. She and her craft are worth the investment. A true renaissance woman and amazing artist.

Rose was wonderful from start to finish. I purchased one of her packages and the vendors were amazing, as was having to do less legwork myself and just make the fun choices of color and flavor. It was exactly what I wanted. She made our big day worry-free and fun, matched our vibe, and is also *bonus* a wonderful person.

My wife and I had really no idea what we were getting into with having an elopement photography but Rose made us feel really comfortable with every step of the process. She guided us to the best spot based on our preferences and needs. The pictures were absolutely incredible and it was such a fun and smooth process. We highly recommend Rose!

We HIGHLY recommend hiring Rose to photograph your elopement/wedding! She was incredibly helpful and accommodating turning our big ideas into reality. Not only will she help with logistics and planning but she is so fun to be around and will make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. She sent us a gallery full of absolutely stunning pictures that I am proud to hang on my walls and cherish for many years to come. Thank you Rose, for being a major part of our big day!

I don't even know where to start in expressing my gratitude, adoration, respect, and awe for Rose and her work. We more than lucked out when we discovered Rose. Rose's calm demeanor, documentary-inspired approach to photography, and her endless enthusiasm for her people is infectious. She helped find vendors, Airbnbs, and even told us what to pack. All throughout our planning process, she was in lockstep to make sure we didn't leave anything out and that we would have the perfect day. She did a ton of research and identified an affordable water taxi in Seward to take us to what turned out to be a nearly private island. She organized our vendors to facilitate transport of my bouquet and cake from Anchorage to Seward. And throughout our whole day, she provided a steady presence that helped calm my nerves while at the same time being the ultimate hype woman. She captured our whole day beautifully and looking at our photos transports us back to the sights and feelings we had on our wedding day. I am so glad that we found Rose, who turned out to be not just the ULTIMATE photographer and elopement planning partner, but also an awesome person and dear friend. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU <3
