incredible
Matt was absolutely everything we could hope for in a photographer. Both me and my partner
Don’t really do photos we feel awkward usually but Matt helped us relax. He executed any request we had with complete enthusiasm and confidence and his photos did not disappoint, every one of our guests loved interacting with him on the day. Absolutely would use Matt again if we have the chance. 10/10 in every category.

Excellent service problem solved quickly
A small Devon country wedding with Matthew taking interesting & original pictures inside and in the garden. A wonderful range of pictures to choose from.
My small order arrived very quickly but although very well packaged the delivery company had folded the parcel and photos were creased. Matthew arranged a new batch by return.
I particularly liked the black & white portraits.

Matthew made our day perfect
Matthew worked all day, capturing the getting ready, the Church service, the wedding breakfast and the evening celebration. He also captured the little details, such as the wedding favours, the flowers and the wedding rings. We cannot fault his professionalism, he was fun to work with. We now have an amazing set of photographs to look back on. The photos he shot with the fireworks are truly magical. Thankyou so much Matthew.

Best decision we made!!
If you are searching for a photographer .... it's very simple. Stop looking and book Matt.
From the first enquiry we sent matt asking about being our wedding photographer right down to receiving all our footage back me and my husband couldn't be more thrilled with our decision to book him.
Matt capture the most amazing photoes for our engagement shoot & our wedding day ... From Romantic , funny , candid to artistic ( he really can do it all!) But on top of all of this , Matt truley was an absolute legend to work with. I never once felt uncomfortable, rushed or stressed out. Matt made sure to allow me and Jack enjoy our day and work around us and he did an AMAZING job!
Thankyou Matt for all of you hard work , it definitely paid off and me and jack are over the moon that we choose you to be our photographer. X

Bigger and Brighter
Ours was a small affair but made that so much bigger and brighter by our choice of photographer. Matt was amazing. His customer service was always on point throughout, before and after. The end product speaks for itself. Myself and my new Wife could not be happier with our photos. Worth every penny of his very reasonable rate. If you need a photographer then Matt is your man, you will not regret it.

Photography - The Best!!!
We had our engagement shoot with Matt a couple of weeks ago. He immediately put us both at ease and made us feel so comfortable. Matt is so experienced, chilled out and laid back, whilst also being extremely professional, which made the whole experience really enjoyable.
We received our gallery of photos the other day and we couldn’t be happier with them!! We would really highly recommend Matt and we have since recommended to quite a lot of our friends also.
(Thank you again Matt for all your hard work to get out perfect pictures! We are honestly delighted! )

The Candid Professional!
Matthew covered our wedding back in October 2023. We also took advantage of the pre-wedding shoot so that we could meet and get used to being on camera as neither of us were particularly confident! We can only apologise for the delay in sending this review.
Meeting Matt before the wedding was an excellent way to start off as we were quickly put at ease and were able to get to know each other ahead of what would be a wonderful day! He is very calm and reassuring, answered all our questions, showed us different techniques he uses and put all our concerns right at ease. On the day of the wedding, he mastered both disappearing into the background to capture those candid shots that we both wanted but also engaged with our friends and family putting them at ease also. A top bloke and an excellent portfolio of photos! He captured all the moments of our day that we wanted of our friends, family and us, laughing and enjoying ourselves. Limited posing, just joy. Thank you so much Matt!

The best investment we made for our wedding
Finding the right photographer was one of the most important things for me in the wedding planning process. I'm a part time model so the last thing I wanted was to feel like I was working on my wedding day. Matt and I had a facetime call and straight away I knew he was the one! We had an engagement shoot several months before the wedding so we could meet properly and meet his partner (2nd shooter) we had such a nice time and got some beautiful shots. This really cemented my faith in him as a photographer. On the run up to the big day he was there to answer any questions I had and sent a form so I could add any little bits I needed too aswell as my shot list.
On the day Matt and Jo were seamless. They melted into the background and you barely noticed they were even there. When the formal photos were needed they made sure to get these done as quickly and efficiently as possible so we could all get back to the reception. They stayed until well into the night to make sure every shot was taken.
We received our photos back within a few weeks which was amazing! And we're so happy with every single photo. They captured every moment perfectly and I have absolutely no complaints.

Absolutely amazing!
We booked our family shoot with Matt due to needing to update the old ones and I’ve always been a bit shy around cameras! But all I can say is he makes you feel so incredibly comfortable and his ideas for photos were just pure amazing! We now own a whole album full of the most beautiful family photos that I have ever seen and will continue to use Matt for the foreseeable xx
