Cary Photographers for Couples, Maternity, Newborn, Family & Engagement Sessions

About Us

We’re Amelia and Matt Photo, a husband-and-wife photography team based in Cary, North Carolina. We photograph families, couples, and newborns across the state who value authenticity, emotion, and beautiful storytelling

Our approach is relaxed and fully guided, so whether you’ve never been in front of a camera or just feel awkward in photos, we make it easy. We focus on real connections and genuine moments over stiff poses, and our clients often tell us they forgot we were even there.

If you’re searching for an engagement, family, maternity, or newborn photographer in Cary, NC, we’d love to be a part of your story. We’re proud to call Cary home base, and we’re just as happy to travel to Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill or anywhere else around the Triangle to capture your session.

With a creative and personal approach, we turn real connections into timeless art.

Couples & Engagement Photography

From cozy mornings at home to golden-hour adventures, we capture your connection in a way that feels real and full of love. As a couples & engagement photographer, we love documenting everything from downtown Raleigh engagement sessions to the simple, in-between moments that matter most.

We had such a great experience with Amelia and Matt! From the beginning, they were so kind, responsive, and easy to work with. They made us feel completely comfortable during our session and gave us simple prompts that made everything feel natural instead of posed or awkward. Our photos turned out absolutely beautiful! They captured so many sweet, candid moments, and the photos really have the romantic, natural feel we were hoping for. We are genuinely so happy with them and will cherish these photos for years to come. We’re so glad we chose Amelia and Matt to capture this special season for us. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for photographers who are talented, thoughtful, and make the whole experience so enjoyable! 🤍

Amelia and Matt are so sweet and talented and such a pleasure to work with! They made us feel so comfortable and guided us with the poses/set up for the shots which was so helpful. The photos they captured were absolutely beautiful and will be treasured forever- definitely some of our favorite photos of all time. Amelia was especially great with our baby during the newborn session. They also sent us so many photos in color and black & white which was a huge bonus and makes it difficult to pick our favorites! I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Amelia and Matt were amazing. They took my graduation photos and made me feel super comfortable, gave great direction, and we hit every location I wanted and they even recommended a few I didn’t even think of and got the nicest candid photos. Having a film option was awesome too. Amazing value for money unlike a lot of the crazy prices for grad photographers in the RTP. 12/10 recommend!

I cannot recommend Amelia and Matt Photo enough. Funny enough, we actually found them through ChatGPT when I was looking for something special for my husband and my first wedding anniversary. We had been traveling a lot for work and decided we wanted to celebrate with an anniversary photo session instead of taking another trip. From the very beginning, they were incredibly kind, responsive, and thoughtful. They gave us several location options, sent inspiration from previous shoots, and even helped us decide what to wear. They made the entire planning process feel effortless. The day of our session was even better than we imagined. Having two photographers was amazing because they worked so seamlessly together and made us feel completely comfortable. My husband and I are definitely not professional models, but they guided every pose naturally, kept the session flowing, and made the whole experience fun. At no point did we ever feel awkward or unsure of what to do. It was obvious that they are true professionals who genuinely love what they do. The editing process was just as impressive. The turnaround time was incredibly fast, and their online gallery made it so easy to view and download all of our photos. We were absolutely blown away by the final images. I am so grateful we found Amelia and Matt. They captured such a special milestone in our lives, and I know without a doubt that they will be the photographers we continue to use for years to come. We cannot wait to have them photograph future anniversaries, family portraits, and one day our family with kids. Thank you both for giving us memories that we will cherish forever. - Karina & Jake

Amelia and Matt were amazing! They captured the real essence of my graduation day with my family, and the spot they chose for the session was gorgeous. They were really patient because coordinating 6 people was challenging, and they were really understanding. If you need a session around the Duke campus, call them...highly recommended!

What an absolute joy it was to have not just one, but two incredibly talented photographers capturing every angle of such a special moment. This duo works seamlessly together and has a real gift for making you feel elegant and at ease throughout the entire shoot. Their encouragement and energy bring out the best in you—even the most camera‑shy person can’t help but smile around them. Highly recommend!
