Cassie and Matt Bardwell

Meet the faces behind Bardwell Photography!

We're Matt and Cassie, a husband and wife photography duo. We were both born and raised in Wisconsin, but we've traveled all over the world honing our craft and capturing organic images of both people and places.

Let us capture the Unapologetically real version of you.

What we're all about.

We understand that in our current social media perfect world, we all want that perfect airbrushed image to impress the masses. We also understand that there are bad hair days, uncooperative relatives, and the chaos that our little bundles of joy can provide to ruin the image. Let us capture the moments that give us glimpse into your world (both perfect and imperfect).


Kind Words
.01

Thomas and I met Matt while we were living in Mallorca. We had recently gotten engaged and wanted to take advantage of our beautiful new home as the back drop for our photos. He not only took beautiful photos, but most importantly he made Thomas and I feel comfortable in front of the camera. I would recommend Matt (and Cassie) for any of your big life events, he truly has an eye for what he does.

Bardwell Photography captures our family's smiles, snuggles, and laughs using a relaxed shooting style where our kids don't hide from the camera but forget it's there.

We have worked with Cassie and Matt many times and they always do a great job! They always get great shots of the kids even if they are running around the whole time! We love working with them and love the results every time!

Bardwell Photography did an absolutely PERFECT job capturing my wedding day. Matt & Cassie were so easy to work with and made me (the bride) as well as the groom, our families, and our wedding party feel comfortable and made us have a great time throughout all the picture taking. Our wedding pictures (and engagement pictures!!!) were just what I wanted. Matt & Cassie listen to what YOU want out of the pictures. I cannot recommend them enough for ANY and ALL life events you want captured for the years to com

FAQ

How do we know that you're the right photographers for us?

Contact us and let us know what you're looking for. We will let you know what we're good at and what we're not. We love to capture organic moments, but will stage a little for good measure. We don't fuss too much about the little things and are good rolling with the punches.

My family is...different. Do you really think you can capture a good picture of us all?

We love uniqueness, that's what makes this job so much fun! We love to problem solve and will always try our best to capture an image that you will love.

Do you travel or do destination weddings?

The short answer is Yes! We love to get out and see the World. We are based out of the Milwaukee area, but are willing to travel for events. Always inquire, the worst we can say is no.

We don’t feel very confident in front of the camera, is that ok?

To be honest, I don't know many people who do. We are our harshest critics. We believe strongly that we are the best in our natural elements. Our favorite pictures are those rare special moments that we can capture when you're not posing for a picture, but living in the moment.
