We had a 50th anniversary/family reunion in Asheville. Matt met all 17 of us at Biltmore Estate and got fabulous shots of the whole group, individuals and families. He was fun, easy to work with for all ages, and provided us with wonderful memories. I would definitely ask for Matt if we are in the area again. More...

I was in a tight situation where my daughter was about to go into the military and getting my young adult children together was hard to do. Matt was the best at caring about us, our lives in general, he was genuinely professional and fun at the same time. He took amazing photos and have already reached out again to take pics again for another event. Also, it was my stepsons bday and he framed him a pic for his birthday. The frame was top notch. You will love the experience with Matt as your photographer in so many ways. More...

Matt did a fantastic job for my parents birthday and anniversary picnic celebration. Old and young he managed to take wonderful pictures to savor for a life time!

Matt was incredible to work with. He came to the Cabin where our family was staying for Thanksgiving and took amazing pictures for us! There were 8 of us and he was extremely quick and professional. I don't know that we could have asked for a better job he was timely, professional, very personal and we were at ease working with him and our large group. I would recommend him to anyone for fun engaging family photos!!! More...

Matt was so fun to work with! Super laid back with kiddos (and parents) running amuck! Totally makes everyone feel comfortable and relaxed.
Reply from Matt Gruebmeyer Photography
Run amuck, for sure! But that made for a million great photo opportunities. Loved meeting your beautiful family and the opportunity to capture them in these images!

Matt did a great job of working with our large family at Lake Lure this past weekend. We had four separate families taking pics individually and as a group and Matt was awesome coordinating everyone and keeping the kiddos engaged! We definitely look forward to having him do another session for us. More...

Thank you, Jim! One family is a blast, but four? What a fun time I had with you guys - and it seemed like four times the families made for ten times better pics. Thank you!
Debbe Haley
General Photography
Working with Matt on our family reunion photos was so easy. From the start he asked many questions to find out what we wanted. He made wonderful suggestions for a venue since we were from out of state. He was amazing with our large age range and number of grandchildren. I appreciated his balance between giving directions and willingness to go with the flow. Our photos are a wonderful treasure from a very special event. More...

Professional, attention to details, intuitive, creative, responsive and an absolute joy are just a few ways to describe working with Matt Gruebmeyer!
He took time to get to know us ensuring we got all the photos we wanted. I appreciated most his creativity and making our session fun! He did an outstanding job capturing all the candid moments that we would have missed otherwise. He completed edits and presented our photos in a timely manner all while staying in communication.
I would recommend Matt 100%!

Portrait, Wedding, and Special Event Photography
I am a professional photographer who specializes in portrait, wedding, engagement, and special event photography. Every photography session with me includes shareable, online viewing galleries, the ability to purchase prints online, expert editing, color and black and white images, a USB for safekeeping, and unlimited digital downloads, all included at no extra cost.
Portrait services include family sessions, as well as senior portraits (I'm also an educator), newborn and children's portraits. Family and high school senior photography is my most frequent work and I'd love to work with you and your family, too!
I am lucky to have the opportunity to work for so many wedding couples and in such popular, beautiful locations. Western North Carolina is great for engagements and save the date photos, bridal portraits, and weddings. Hard-working and attentive to detail, most wedding clients receive more than 2,000 beautiful, fully edited images. All of my pricing is straightforward and my wedding packages differ only in the time for which you hire me.
I'm also grateful to work so many other, special events. Vacations, bachelorette and anniversary parties, family reunions, and special birthdays are always a blast and good for poignant moments that photography beautifully.
