Front Porch Media's Matt Murray Named 2026 Best of South Sound Winner for Real Estate Photography

Matt Murray, owner of Front Porch Media, has been named the 2026 Best of South Sound winner for Real Estate Photography. The award is presented annually by The Olympian and decided entirely by community vote, recognizing the top local businesses across Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater, and Shelton.

‍ ‍

‍ ‍

I'm honored to share that Front Porch Media was voted Best of South Sound in the Real Estate Photography category," Murray said. "Over the past seven years, I've had the privilege of working with real estate agents, businesses, and small-business owners throughout our community. Thank you to everyone who's trusted me with your listings, homes, and businesses, and to everyone who took the time to vote.

‍ ‍

This award means a lot to me, but I don't believe there's only one 'best' real estate photographer. Every photographer has their own style, strengths, and clients. We're all working toward the same goal: producing the best images we can to help our clients sell real estate. I truly appreciate this recognition and everyone who has supported Front Porch Media over the past seven years. Thank you!"

A Realtor's Eye Behind the Camera

‍ ‍

Front Porch Media provides real estate photography for agents and homeowners across Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater, and Shelton. What sets Murray apart is his background: he's also a licensed Realtor® with Century 21 Van Dorm Realty, so he shoots every listing knowing exactly what buyers are looking for when they scroll through photos online, not just what looks good in a portfolio.

‍Homes photographed by a professional typically draw more online views and sell faster than those shot on a phone. For South Sound sellers, that difference usually comes down to lighting, composition, and knowing which angles sell a room, which is exactly where Front Porch Media's combination of photography skill and real estate experience pays off.
