Matthew came recommended to us as a photographer, and he really lived up to it. He was professional but so easy to talk to, and such a relaxing presence on our wedding day. He went above and beyond to make sure he never interrupted any part of the day, and yet the photos feel like he was right there in the moment with us. We never felt like we had to pose or rush at any point, and his funny comments and great energy had us laughing throughout. He also helped make sure everything ran smoothly.
The photos themselves are incredible. Everyone agrees they captured the energy of the day, and they're exactly how we'd pictured it. His style matches us perfectly. We're so happy with them and will cherish them for the rest of our lives. -

We could not be happier that we chose Matthew as our photographer. From the moment he arrived on the day, he brought such a calm, easy-going energy that instantly put everyone at ease. He got along with everyone so naturally, and so many of our guests commented afterwards on how lovely he was.
He worked so well under pressure when things didn't quite go to plan, and he even stepped in to help with little things when nobody else had the time – including pinning my grandmother's brooch onto my bouquet, which meant so much to me.
Matthew somehow managed to get the best photos out of us by making us laugh and feel completely comfortable. It honestly felt like we'd known him for years. He also worked brilliantly alongside our videographer, and everything felt so seamless.
When we received our photos so quickly after the wedding, we were absolutely blown away. Matthew is a master with lighting and captured the most beautiful moments – many of which we didn't even realise he was there for. Looking through the photos brought tears to our eyes as we relived the day all over again.
His photographs are simply stunning, and we will treasure them forever. Matthew really was the best, and we cannot recommend him highly enough.

Outstanding!
Matthew was incredible from start to finish of our wedding day. He made us feel so relaxed and genuinely had us laughing all day. He sent us some previews for social media the very next day and our full gallery within a week which is a truly outstanding turnaround and we love every single photo! He really captured the energy of our day very candidly, and is overall just very, very talented at what he does. We can't recommend him enough! -

My wife and I choose Matthew to be our wedding photographer as we had previously met Matthew at 2 of our friends weddings and he was highly recommended for his adaptability, kindness, organisation and natural photographs.
When I initially emailed Matthew he was very easy to communicate with and had a low deposit for booking. Matthew was able to work around the hours that we had requested him without issue.
Communication with Matthew from the initial booking right through to post wedding was easy and prompt. He provided us with an online questionnaire so we could explain exactly who and what we wanted photographed.
On the wedding day Matthew arrived early and took the lead. He was friendly, approachable and very good with children we had in our party which really took the pressure off such a busy day. Matthew was able to capture the most important and natural moments of our wedding day. Our photos arrived promptly and were exactly what we expected with personal print outs, USB device and an online gallery to share with all our family and friends. We were very surprised to have samples provided within 24 hours of our wedding which was amazing.
Matthew, myself and Amanda are extremely happy with the photos and want to thank you for all your help and support on our wonderful day. We are very grateful and will recommend you highly to all our family and friends! -

Matt is the ABSOLUTE best!! We hired him for our wedding and it was such a great process from the beginning. We’d arranged a FaceTime call with him, and loved hearing that his approach to the day would be more casual and he’d try to capture the best moments. He was an absolute dream to work with on the day, and made us feel so relaxed. The photos turned out better than we could ever have imagined and we just can’t recommend Matt enough!! -
