"Matthias captured some great memories for our BIPOC camp retreat! It’s important for our organization to have a photographer that is friendly, welcoming to LGBTQ folks, and capturing the many things happening around camp. Matthias not only provided for that for us, but made sure to check in to know our needs were being met. Would definitely recommend! Thank you for all your help. :)"
