Hey - I'm Matt, I’m a dad of a crazy set of little girls (5 and 2 yrs old) but most importantly I'm a wedding photographer based in Kent - who loves travelling all over the UK taking photos of each and every unique wedding.

I don’t go big on posing – (it’s awkward – I get that), I don’t take you away from your wedding for hours - I just take super relaxed, candid documentary photos - i guarantee that 95% of any gallery I deliver will be documentary photos.

I'm renowned at putting people at ease, I’m super organised but most importantly I capture beautiful, romantic fun and epic images in a relaxed way.

Please take time to look around, look at my prices and photos. If you have any questions at all, just reach out and we’ll get right back to you.

I'd love the chance to capture your special day so get in contact, I love a chat!

"Stop searching!! Everything you could dream of finding in a photographer and more Matt brings through in every shot, while making it feel like he's an extension of the family!" Jill & Paul

The best decision we made for our wedding

Matt isn’t just a photographer and artist, he is an experience curator, and such a lovely, kind person.

The photos themselves were gobsmackingly beautiful and we couldn’t be happier with them, honestly above and beyond expectations for our wedding photos. Tears of joy for at least 3 hours when we received them!

But that’s not all, the whole experience we had with Matt was truly fantastic. From the moment we met him via video call, we knew his lovely calm temperament and gorgeous style of shooting was perfect for us. Then in the run-up to the wedding he was unbelievably helpful in the planning and organising of the day via emails with fun questionnaires, short forms and Pinterest boards. He made the potentially painful process of planning the day a delight - he deserves an award for that alone!

On the day, Matt was unreal. So professional and SO lovely to us and all our guests - we received so many compliments about him. He got absolutely all the shots we were after and more, we couldn’t believe it as he blended in so beautifully with our day it didn’t feel like he was snapping away! He also took great care in making sure everyone felt comfortable and was so sweet and kind with children, too.

I can’t say enough good things about Matt and his service. He worked so hard on putting our slideshow and gallery together and made it such a wonderful experience. We love him and so do our friends and family! Thank you, Matt :)

Simply Outstanding!

We found Matt on here, it was the best piece of luck we could have had. It wasn’t just the quality of his work that we liked, it was him. Easy going, experienced and helpful all shone through in his bio.

Then we met him and all of that was amplified ten fold.

If we skip over the official bits of signing him up for the wedding, the many options he provided to us, helpful ideas and perspectives he gave, his regular but relaxed communication kept us on track and made sure we didn’t miss anything.

After a suggestion from our venue to think again about also having a videographer, we immediately went to Matt for recommendations. He is after all an expert in this world. He didn’t let us down! It was like Matt squared!

Then the main event, the best compliment I, as the Groom can pay Matt, is that it was like having another close family member with us at times, then at other times an advisor, humble and relaxed, a word in your ear and then gone as you decide. He’s pinning button holes one minute, spreading a wedding dress train the next, and then snapping a moment no one else has seen the next.

He was both visible and invisible throughout the day. He’s the kind of guy you’d want as a guest. Time and again he was remarked upon by our guests as kind, helpful, fun - you name it really.

He put the bride at ease throughout their morning together, again, that relaxed, fun and supportive style for her and the bridesmaids.

And now we’ve just seen his work.

We have been blown away. The quality, the creativity and just the sheer attention to detail.

He not only captured the pictures, he captured the essence of the day, the people, the atmosphere everything really.

Then there’s how he presents it to you, his magical slide show and then gallery. Sublime! Simply sublime.

So we cannot recommend Matt enough. It’s a big deal trusting this day to someone to capture for you.

Matt is that guy, and between him and his network, you’ve got it covered and you’ll enjoy it too.

5 stars off 150+ reviews speaks for itself!

Trust him, he won’t let you down.

Thank you Matt!

The best investment for our wedding day!

We cannot recommend Matt highly enough. When looking for a wedding photographer we had a zoom call with him and immediately liked his easy-going nature and of course we loved his photos. On the wedding day itself he just fit in so easily and really clicked with us and our guests, perfectly capturing all the right moments both posed and candid. We never felt he was intruding on moments, and when looking at the pictures we've had many moments where we had never realised he was there. He also had lots of little tricks and games to make us laugh and give an amazing natural look to our photos (helpful when your face already hurts from smiling posing!). We really wanted some nice golden hour pics and he kept going outside to see when would be best, and he absolutely nailed it with the most amazing sunset shots. Our wedding day was the day we've both smiled the most, but the day we got our photos and slideshow (such a great touch) was definitely the second day we've smiled the most. 10/10 would recommend, we are so in love with our wedding photos - also he threw in complementary services of emergency pocket-square folding and putting on cufflinks!

Fantastic, can't go wrong

Matt was fantastic. From the start he was easy to talk to, friendly and approachable. There was no pressure and the engage shoot was a great, not only giving us beautiful photos, but a way to meet him and feel comfortable. We had no doubt we made the best choice afterwards.
Coming up to the wedding he gave us hints and a mood board so we made what we wanted our wedding photos to look like. Easy to arrange another call which put any last minute worries to rest.
On the day he arrived in good time having already looked around and it was lovely having him there. Jokes while getting ready and helping the boys with ties etc. He did an amazing job, my vicar commented on how professional he is. He advised with the DIY filming we were doing with is very appreciated. He directed with the confetti and kept us on track. All the guest liked him and I found he was mostly invisible apart from when I wanted him and he was always there.
Go with Matt you can't go wrong honestly we are so impressed, and to get a few photos back a few days after the wedding was a huge plus. We are very happy. A great photographer and lovely person.

Wedding Day

When searching for a wedding photographer I found myself scrolling… not knowing who or what I was looking at. And then I came across Matt, and I immediately knew his style of work was exactly what I was looking for… and it’s a pretty big decision to make.

I reached out following the process which was straight forward and Matt got in touch quickly, and I was relieved when he said he was available on my big day.

We had an initial video meeting, where he went through step by step the process and explained everything throughly and we told him about our vision and what we wanted to capture on our big day.

Throughout the lead up to our wedding Matt was in regular contact with hints & tips for our big day, completely putting us at ease right from the beginning. His communication is from the start is second to none, and he answered all our queries and worries. Making the whole process feel relaxed.

On our big day Matt went above and beyond for us, working around our timeline. Turning up on time and his professionalism is outstanding. He is incredible personable, with nothing being too much trouble. Despite the rain… Matt has ‘can do/make it happen’ attitude and he was able to capture the whole day perfectly! Matt is nothing short of amazing, friendly and we are amazed at how he worked with both us but all of our guests too.
Matt isn’t just a photographer, he goes far beyond that making sure we had both eaten and had water. Checking in with us throughout the day.

The next day Matt sent over some sneaks for us too see… and we have just received our gallery will a very well put together slide show. There was definitely a lot of happy tears, and it was lovely to relive the day through how well he documented our wedding day.

Booking Matt is something I promise you, you won’t regret! His attention to detail is incredible, he didn’t miss a thing! His kind and friendly nature, shines though and nothing is too much trouble. I honestly cannot recommend Matt enough, you won’t be disappointed!

What a day!!

The best wedding photographer

Matt is fantastic!! We feel very lucky to have had him photograph our wedding! He is so relaxed and friendly, putting everyone at ease. We loved spending time with him on the day and all our guests commented how great and friendly he was as well as how fantastic the photos are! The photos are perfect. He captured the day and the joy and laughter so so beautifully. He has a great technique for group photos and his drone shots are excellent too. He is also incredibly professional and made everything so easy and relaxed from start to finish. The slideshow is also brilliant and we are so excited for the finished album! Couldn’t recommend Matt more!

One of the best decisions we ever made!

We hired Matt for our wedding in May at Hayne House and it was one of the best decisions we ever made!

Prior to the wedding the communication was great and we put together a mood board for him and answered a few questionnaires so that he could capture the photos in a style we liked. Matt also created an order of the day for us ahead of the wedding (when it comes to the photos) to help everything run smoothly.

On the day he was great - really fun photographer to be around and made us laugh loads during the photoshoots, plus all the guests LOVED him. He got a great range of photos of everyone at the wedding and was never in the way of anything, and actually gave us some cool ideas on the day.

The photos themselves were AMAZING - it’s been a week since we got them and I think I’ve looked at them everyday. Every single photo is so so good - it was almost impossible to choose some for an instagram post haha

It’s also super easy to share the photos with your guests afterwards as Matt created a gallery for us which we can then share with our guests.

Overall, the photos were genuinely unreal and Matt was great fun but also very professional on the wedding day.

Can’t stop looking at our wedding photos!!

Choosing Matt as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made during the whole wedding planning process.
During getting ready, Matt made me feel so comfortable and relaxed which really helped set the mood before the ceremony. His personality and skills make him feel like he’s part of the wedding and I never once felt awkward knowing my photo was being taken! He captured such beautiful photos throughout the entire day and all of our guests told us how much they liked chatting with him and posing for the camera (especially later on the dance floor). He put together such a lovely video montage of some of the wedding highlights which was the perfect preview for our wedding photographs and brought back all of the memories of our day, capturing pretty much all of our guests smiling away and celebrating with us. Couldn’t have been happier so thank you so much Matt

Incredible Photographer

Matt photographed our wedding at the end of April, and we could not be more thrilled that he was our photographer. From the very first contact through to receiving our gallery, Matt has been a delight to work - so professional, whilst still remaining warm and personable.

His work is stunning and he really takes the time to understand what you are looking for in your wedding photos and makes sure that he captures it. Nothing was too much trouble, and he was more than happy to capture any specific photo requests we had both in the planning and on the day.

On the day itself, Matt was fabulous - he brought such a calming energy to the morning, and went above and beyond typical photographer duties when he saw we needed help. Throughout the day he blended in so well with our guests - having a small ceremony, this was so important. He was a pleasure to share our wedding day with, and we were genuinely sad to see him leave at the end of the day!

We cannot recommend Matt enough, and would not hesitate to work with him again in the future.

John & Mel

We couldn’t agree more with the other reviews. We really had no idea what we were doing when we’re looking for a photographer. Going with Matt Trott was one of the best decisions we made for the wedding! We were over the moon with everything!

The quality of the photography was excellent. The communication leading up to and after the wedding was spot on. But most of all it was just such a joy to have Matt at our wedding.

We got such a good array photos, different styles, angles and settings and thanks to Matt we have memories to last a lifetime. Matt made everyone around him feel at ease and mixed in so well with the guests we could barely distinguish him from the others. He allowed us space and time to enjoy the day too. Most of the time he blended into the background which, to us at least, is the sign of a good photographer. He managed to capture authentic shots and real moments which was exactly what we were looking for.

It's also worth noting that Matt’s was the fairest price we found considering what you get for it, which I’m sure is a big factor for most of those looking for a wedding photographer.

At some point soon you’ll hear a voice in your head saying, “I think I’ll go with Matt Trott”, you should probably listen to the voice. We did... and we couldn’t have been happier with that decision.

John & Mel.

Outstanding!

From the moment we spoke with Matt about our wedding photography we just knew he was the right fit for us. He's calm, professional and extremely talented. On our wedding day, Matt made us all feel calm and relaxed and even found fun little games for us to play during a walk so he could capture some excellent images of us. He is also fantastic with young children too, also making them feel at ease. We have sat and laughed and cried (happy tears!) our way through our gallery many times already. I will be recommending Matt to anyone that will listen! Thank you thank you thank you xxx

Absolutely fabulous!

Matt was amazing, he made everyone feel at ease and could not have done more to help before and on our special day.
He made sure no one felt pressured and captured some amazing natural shots that we will treasure forever.
He felt like one of the family by the end of the day.
