About

Who is Matt Hyde?

Matt Hyde is a documentary wedding photographer based in the West Midlands on the border of Worcestershire, capturing real moments with a fun, relaxed approach. Known for his easy-going style and love of banter, Matt blends in like a guest with a camera, never taking over, never putting pressure on your day. His aim? To make couples feel completely at ease so their photos feel natural, not posed. Whether he’s laughing with your nan or joking with your mates, he’s all about catching people just as they are. Matt travels all over the UK to photograph weddings that feel authentic, so when you look back years from now, you’ll see the real you. After all, it’s your wedding, not his photo shoot.

What To Expect:

Matt’s photos are full of energy and heart, capturing the little glances, belly laughs, and unplanned moments that make a wedding truly yours. He’s always on the lookout for fun angles and unexpected perspectives that tell the full story of your day, from the quiet bits to the chaos on the dance floor. His relaxed style means no awkward posing, just you and your people being yourselves. By the end of it all, Matt often feels like part of the family, and truth be told, he usually wishes he could stay for a drink and join the party too.

What About After The Wedding?

After the wedding, Matt keeps the excitement going with a handful of sneak peeks delivered within a couple of days. These are perfect for sharing with friends and reliving the excitment of the day. He takes great care in editing each image to reflect the natural, joy-filled atmosphere of your wedding, aiming to deliver your full gallery within 4-6 weeks. Your photos are delivered via a private, password protected online gallery, making it easy for you to view, download, and share your memories with family and friends. No fuss, just honest, heartfelt moments, beautifully captured and yours to keep forever.

Captured our Day in the Perfect Way

We cannot recommend Matt Hyde Photography highly enough. From the first call, through to the day of our wedding and delivery of the photos, Matt was friendly, professional and the perfect addition to our day. Matt has an amazing way about him, putting you at ease whilst ensuring memories are captured to remember your day, just as it was, forever. Everyone at our wedding commented on how great Matt was, and having now seen our pictures it really shows how great he is at what he does. Thanks Matt for everything, we so appreciate it.

Wedding photography/ videography review

We got married on Easter Sunday at the Dodford Inn and ask Matt to be our photographer. Had our initial video call with Matt and instantly got on! Funny, friendly and professional. He was great at running us through his style of photography and suggesting things for us. A short while before the wedding date, we decided we'd really like a video as well if we could. After a few messages with Matt he suggested another video call and we went through the options which was very accommodating for being late in the day. We decided to go with a second shooter and Matt had a colleague, Alex, he brought on board and they both did hybrid photos / videos. We were sooooo happy with the outcome! With 2 shooters we didn't feel like any part of the day wasn't captured.
We have a beautiful range of photos from emotional, moment capturing, a few formals and the brilliant bloopers. The way Matt put our photos together on our portal really takes you through the day and reads like a story. Our video is brilliant ( I cried watching it the first few times and I'm not a crying person).

Guests have commented how relaxed Matt and Alex made them feel and they both really felt like guests at the wedding

Can't thank Matt enough. Always quick to respond to any question I had no matter how small, always happy and friendly, and offered suggestions and guidance for us.

You never get a second chance at capturing your wedding day photos, and I'm so glad we chose Matt's relaxed style.

Cheers Matt 😁
Love from Mr and Mrs Rowley!

Captures the heart that no one else could

Matt Hyde Photography offers documentary-style photography that silently captures the moments that you will treasure for the blissful married years to come. My partner and I are thrilled with the result and on the day, we were able to enjoy our wedding without having to take hours out of the day by staging photos. The quality of the photos and the natural beauty they show has blown us away. If you are looking for a photographer that will capture all of the moments you remember and the ones that anyone else could have sadly missed, look no further. I wish I could live my wedding day again and with Matt's photos, now I can.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
