The most wonderful photographer!
Matt, what can we say! He was phenomenal! The memories and moments that he captured at our wedding are so invaluable and will be treasured for the rest of our lives! He always seemed to be in just the right place at just the right time and always with the biggest smile on his face which was just wonderful! A million thanks would not be enough for his hard work on the day and not to mention how quickly he was able to send us our full album! Picture us on our honeymoon, loving every photo and reliving every second - so special! We cannot thank him enough and would so highly recommend his awesome photography skills!Matt, what can we say!

The best wedding photographer!
Matt captured our wedding day perfectly, I cannot recommend him enough! He was friendly and made us feel at ease which was great as we don't love getting our photos taken. He was always looking for the next shot and got some absolutely beautiful pictures. We love his candid style and he was able to capture lots of lovely moments with our family and friends we'll be able to look back on for years to come. He also sent our photos to us so so quickly. Thank you so much Matt!Matt captured our wedding day perfectly, I cannot recommend him enough! He was friendly and made us feel at ease which was great as we don't love getting our photos taken.

A genuinely lovely person to work with
From the moment we started our communication with Matthew he instantly made the photography part of our wedding an absolute delight. From having an introductory chat over FaceTime to meeting in person on the day, he has a professional way of just making you feel like it’s just one of your friends taking your wedding pictures. We trusted his judgement and allowed him to just shoot what he thought best and we were over the moon with how he captured our day. He was super prompt at letting us see some photos a day or 2 after the wedding and just a month down the line we’ve got our prints and album and are so pleased with them. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer to capture the natural beauty of your wedding day, then Matthew is your guy. Plus he doubles up as a wedding nanny at key moments too!From the moment we started our communication with Matthew he instantly made the photography part of our wedding an absolute delight.

The photo ninja!
We got married at the start of October and the natural Scottish weather arrived that day. Despite the rain Matt managed to still capture stunning photos!!
We honestly can’t thank him enough. I remember seeing a review saying you didn’t even notice he was there half the time and my goodness was that true! A photo ninja, but when you did see him he had a huge smile on his face & knew how to capture the right moments.
Matt thank you for capturing the day, we couldn’t recommend you more.

Excellent , Matthew caught those precious 1 off memories
Matthew was professional, a pleasure to have around and somehow captured the most precious 1 off moments a studio would have taken hours of attempts and it still wouldn’t have been as good or natural as those taken by Matthew . I cannot recommend him enough .Matthew was professional, a pleasure to have around and somehow captured the most precious 1 off moments a studio would have taken hours of attempts and it still wouldn’t have been as good or natural as those taken by Matthew .

Captures the natural feel of the day - what a talent!
We had the pleasure of working with Matthew as our wedding photographer in the summer of 2023 in Elie, Fife. From the start, his friendly demeanor and willingness to accommodate made us feel at ease. A pre-wedding call allowed us to discuss our preferences, ensuring he understood our vision.
Matthew's skill lies in capturing the authenticity of the day; it wasn't a staged photoshoot but a journey of real moments. Reflecting on the photos, we were delighted to discover many precious shots that would have otherwise slipped by in the busyness of the day.
His ability to navigate the day seamlessly extended to interacting with guests and orchestrating group photos effortlessly. Matthew's adaptability shone when we shifted locations for unique shots, facing challenging weather with enthusiasm and creative ideas.
What set Matthew apart was the proactive approach in addressing our needs. He checked in before the day, ensuring he captured every desired shot. This proactive attitude, combined with his talent, led to our wedding and his photos being featured in TiedTheKnotScotland—a testament to his exceptional work.
In summary, working with Matthew was a joy, and the resulting photos surpassed our expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking a talented, personable wedding photographer.We had the pleasure of working with Matthew as our wedding photographer in the summer of 2023 in Elie, Fife.

Couldn’t have asked for better
Hi Matt
I just wanted to take the time to thank you once again for everything you did for us on our wedding day.
The photos were excellent - we love them!! We had such much fun taking them, you really out us at ease with your approach.
Thanks so much for being our witness, driving us around, dropping us off at The Dome and getting the pictures to us SO quickly!
My feet have just about recovered from the 11 thousand steps I took in those heels… and the pictures are already up round the house.
Wishing you all the very best with the business and this coming wedding season.
With love from Kristina and MartinHi Matt

Brilliant photographer who became our welcome guest!
Matthew was recently our wedding photographer, and we honestly couldn’t have wished for a better one! He was so easy to get on with, and kept our guests laughing all day. We had so many comments from our guests saying what a fantastic photographer and just a genuinely nice guy he was! By the end of the night he was more like one of our guests as everyone was getting on so well with him. The photos came out amazing as well, he really did such a good job, we are so happy with them and so grateful to Matthew! We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer.

Amazing, fabulous, wonderful!
Matt shot our wedding on the 29th April 2023 and we could not have chosen a better photographer. He shot our friends wedding the year before and after seeing her pictures we loved his work and booked him. From the minute I started to interact with Matt I knew he was going to be great. Firstly, he always answered messages promptly which was reassuring for us and secondly we loved his excitement and enthusiasm towards our day.
From the moment he arrived he talked me through what we were doing. He worked amazingly alongside our videographer and generally just made me feel at ease. He interacted so well with the guests in a fun but professional manner which everyone complimented. Matthew was able to capture candid photos of us and our guests which really showed the emotions on that day. He also suggested loads of different photo opportunities to make sure we didn’t miss out and he captured shots we didn’t even know we wanted!
Fast forward to after the wedding. Matt’s aftercare is amazing. He sent us some teasers after the wedding to share on social media etc but he was prompt in getting us the full collection (even got it to us quicker than he had originally said which was a pleasant surprise). We were provided with a USB and prints.
He made us an incredible album which really showed his true artistic talent, better than that he’s genuinely very passionate about what he does and has the technical knowledge to back it up!
He’s hands down one of the nicest guys we’ve ever met.
Long and short is book Matt for any occasion photo shoot cause he’s awesome!Matt shot our wedding on the 29th April 2023 and we could not have chosen a better photographer.
