About
My name’s Matt,
I was born and raised in Plymouth. My wife is called Suzie and I have a little girl called Livvy and a son called Bertie.
As your photographer, I aim to give you a personalised service. I’m always by the phone if you need to call or message and it’s me that you book, not an associate photographer, so I’ll be the one photographing your wedding. I will also edit your wedding pictures myself.
I notice the little things whilst taking pictures. I’m always on the lookout for what’s in the background. I’m very particular and like my family photography to be symmetrical. When it comes to editing your photography I only retouch very lightly. I keep it looking natural as it was on your day.
My reasons for becoming a wedding photographer came to me after my own wedding day. The pictures from that day gives me the understanding of how important this day is to be documented for others. I pride myself on being able to produce the highest standard of photography. My customers love the natural style of photography and my relaxed personality.
I really don’t like the camera being pointed at me, so I understand how you feel. This is another reason why people book me. I’ll help you to relax and we can hopefully have some fun.
I’ll photograph your wedding in my own unique style. Behaving like a photojournalist I attempt to move without being noticed, capturing candid moments and events as they unfold in front of me. Most importantly, I capture the images that tell your story.
I’ll help to keep you calm on your wedding day and during the build up to it (I’m usually booked 12-24 months prior to your date). I’m always available for a quick call, message or coffee and a chat if you need advice or have any worries.
If you would like to talk further get in touch.

What is your style of photography?
I like to photograph your wedding in a photo journalistic style. I photograph your wedding to tell the story of your day. Capturing your moments as they happen. I would describe my photography as natural and soft.
Do you visit the location of our wedding venue before our big day?
Yes, I visit the location of your venue before your wedding. I like to visit your venue at a similar time to when you are due to get married. I can check the direction of the sun and the location of where I would like to photograph your group and location shots. This helps me to work effectively on your day and get the best photography.
Do you photograph family portraits?
Yes, I believe this to be an important part of your wedding. I recommend to keep these to a minimum. Somewhere in the region of 10 as it can be time consuming. People can then get back to the party and enjoy the day.
How long does it take you to photograph the couple portraits?
I try to spend most of the day unnoticed but this is my opportunity to get creative. Usually I will take you and your partner to several locations so we can get a different look for your photography. Here I will help to direct and position you a little, just enough so you look your best. Keeping it as natural as possible. This is my favourite part of the day, my opportunity to make you look great. This normally takes 10 – 15 minutes. I believe this is a wedding not a photo shoot so I like to work quickly.
How many pictures will we receive?
Usually I deliver 400 – 700. I believe in quality over quantity. I try to capture as much of the day as possible including pictures of your family and friends. I really try to capture the small details that make up your day.
How will we receive our pictures?
All pictures will be edited. High resolution pictures will be placed onto an online private gallery. You can download these and print or share with family and friends.
Will you travel to my wedding?
Yes, I travel throughout the U.K. and abroad. Expenses can be negotiated depending on time and location.
