About Rocheal Photography

Rocheal Matthews

Owner of Rocheal Photography

I like my coffee black, my labs white, and my clients in love with life. My friends would call me passionate and motivated and say that I love pouring into people. Before I documented emotion for a living, I was a public school teacher. I graduated with a dual degree for both general education and special education, and I later earned my certification for gifted education. I loved teaching, but my soul craves autonomy and creativity and my business fuels every bit of my passions. My little photography hobby has transformed into a full-time career, and I could not be more ecstatic about it.

I have a burning desire to help people see the magic of who they are. People tend to freeze up when a camera is pointed at them because they see themselves through their own lens instead of the lens everyone else sees them through. I use my lens to help people see the beauty in themselves and the people (and world) around them. My cameras are my tools to help me inspire people. I truly believe photography can change the world, and if I'm going to make an imprint on this place, I want to make it a happier, more loving home.

    I don't even know how to begin to explain the gift that Rocheal gave us when she agreed to travel to Hilton Head to photograph our wedding. We first met at my friend's wedding in Atlanta and as soon as I saw those photos, I knew that there wasn't another photographer that I would want to photograph our wedding. Not only did she work with us on the financial side of things (creating a custom package of things I knew we did or did not want), but she was constantly checking in with us to make sure that she was prepared to capture our day the way we wanted it captured. She got to know us in the emails and texts in the weeks leading up to the wedding so that she was able to capture our personalities in every photo she took. When my mom passed away from cancer the week before my wedding, we cried on facetime together and I knew that she felt my loss as if it was her own. Her empathy and commitment to nothing else but you is what makes her (and Ben, the charming assistant that played just as important of a roll) such an amazing addition to such an important day. The attention she gives to not only capturing the perfect photo but also to creating the perfect moment really makes her stand out among all the others. I will definitely hire Rocheal and Ben for my next wedding ; )

    Rocheal seriously goes above and beyond! My husband and I hired Rocheal as our wedding photographer and it was one of the best decisions we could've made for our wedding. We got to get to know her a few months before while doing our engagement photos which turned out AMAZING. She is great at communicating and helping with anything wedding related. I had such a hard time finding a place to take photo's between the ceremony and reception and Rocheal took it into her own hands to do research and make phone calls... incredible right?! Once the wedding day rolled around she was SO on top of it. We had a pretty wild timeline, but she did not miss a beat. During the reception Rocheal put a little slideshow up of some of the pictures we took during the day and everyone LOVED looking at them. The pictures all turned out so beautiful and a perfect way to remember the day. So many people have been asking me how I found her and how amazing she was. There are not enough wonderful things to say about this woman. Cheers to amazing, fun, and passionate photographers!!!

    I've been a wedding DJ for 32 years and don't get easily impressed. I had the opportunity to recently work with Rocheal at a wedding and I must say I am very impressed with her. Her communication skills even before the wedding, her personality and seeing her photos just recently makes me highly recommend her."

    If you're looking for a photographer who checks every single box for fun, passionate, professional, high quality, highly attentive to detail, awesome at what she does, Rocheal knocks it out of the park! Her level of passion and connection she builds with her clients is one of the best I've ever seen and worked with. Her high energy, up beat personality lights up a room when she walks in and immediately brings out the best smile in everyone. Her attention to detail is so perfect. Her creativity is one of the best I've seen. If you're looking for an amazing wedding photographer who has so much more to offer than just taking your wedding photos, I highly recommend Rocheal Photography!
