"Oh Matt! Even just your email had me crying before we even looked at the photos! You are just the best ever! We both sobbed the whole time going through the gallery first time around, and our faces hurt from smiling and laughing so much the second time. They're just so beautiful and more than we could ever have imagined! We cannot thank you enough! We just want to do it all again!! Honestly you're just the best!!"

Some Matt trivia
Coffee of choice? / / Cappuccino baby! I LOVE Italy, so anything that helps me feel like I'm there.
You into sports? / / Yep! Love me some cycling. Don't get me started on the clothing, we'll be here all day. Show me some walking boots and I'm good. Played cricket to a reasonable standard in a past life as well. Basically anything that gives me more time in trees.
Guilty pleasure? / / Listening to the music of Carly-Rae Jepsen. Yep! Okay, stop laughing at me and consider this: anyone who can get Tom Hanks to star in their music video is doing alright by me! Also, I can't stop watching (and singing along to) Moana!
What's on your Spotify right now? / / Oh man, such a mix. John Mayer, Sam Fender, The 1975 (A LOT), Joe Rogan's podcast, The War On Drugs, Bear's Den, The Paper Kites, Fred Again, the list goes on..
Fave films? / / Oooosh, Top Gun (both of them), Ace Ventura (Jim Carrey is a genius), any Daniel Craig Bond film (hands down best Bond) or anything with Ryan Reynolds or Jake Gyllenhaal (man-crush!)
Worst kept secret? / / Ha! On the morning of our wedding, I crashed my car into my soon-to-be Uncle-in-Law's hire car (over from Australia for the wedding)! Not ideal, but it got me a laugh in my speech when I announced it to Jess!
"They are just so beautiful and there's not enough thank you's in the world! I've looked through the gallery a few times now and I'm honestly blown away every time! And I see something new every time I look. It's incredible how you managed to capture all of the emotions, the spirit and fun from the day in still photos - what you do is magic. I'm so glad that we found you to capture the day and that you did it so perfectly. Thank you for making the planning so easy and for putting us and our guests at ease on the day. Your calming presence can't be underestimated! We're so excited to share the photos with our family and friends and thankfully Instagram carousels can take up to 20 photos at a time now - haha! We can't thank you enough!!!"

My style and approach
Honestly, it’s a pretty simple one. I want you to have the best day imaginable! Yeah I know that’s a big call, but it’s true. You have spent all of this time, energy and effort (and money) planning this dreamy day with your nearest and dearest, so I want you to be able to live that day. My priority for you both is a simple one: I want you to have as much time as is humanly possible with everyone else you’ve asked to be there with you! Simple as that.
Listen, we’ve all been to those weddings as guests haven’t we! You know the one’s right? You watch the couple get married, throw some confetti over them as they walk out, and then stand around for ages with a drink and a canape or two, while they’re off shooting endless combinations of group photos and being schlepped around the venue for an hour on a photoshoot! They come back just before dinner, wolf down a starter, then they're up doing laps of the tables to see people. Right?
Well, I don’t do that!
Those chunks of the day are nice and quick, so you can just spend your day hugging, kissing, laughing and crying with everyone who means the world to you. That makes for a better experience, and it sure as hell makes for better photos! Put another way, it’s not my right to dictate your experience of your own wedding day. I’m there to help, guide, reassure and to just get stuck in and capture all those blissfully raw and emotional moments.
I make sure l’m a really fun and positive element to your day. Emotion is the thing that makes epic photos. That’s what I use to tell the story of your day. That’s my currency. You’ll have gathered already that I’m not much of a traditionalist when it comes to shooting a wedding. I make my photos from right in the mix with you, because then, whoever is viewing the photos after the event, whether they were there or not, will be able to look at them and feel like they were right there with you, in that moment, feeling everything you were.
"Honestly Matt, choosing you to document our day was hands down the best decision we made. Your energy was everything we didn't know we needed! You absolutely made our day. You're an amazing guy and were so much more than our photographer. In taking photos, you were barely noticeable. In making sure the day went smoothly, you were integral. Thank you!! xx"

I shoot a limited number of weddings every year, so I can give everything I’ve got to each of my couples. I want you to have the best experience on the day, so I'll bring all the good energy with me and be your #1 hype man!
Choosing the right person to spend the day with you and tell your story is a really big deal and a very personal choice, so I want to make this as easy as possible for you, and give you one less thing to think about.
One thing I’ve always hated is feeling like I’m being sold to. You know what I mean? So, in the interest of keeping things simple (for you and me), I offer a small selection of packages that include all the important stuff and no hidden surprises. I want you to have peace of mind that you've made the right call, and you've got me there for all the important bits, big and small.
No hidden extras, no sales pitch, just fun, authentic and emotional storytelling.

Sounds amazing! What's next?
So, if this all sounds good and you’re keen to work with me, let me know and we’ll get a video chat in the diary. I’d love to get to know you both and hear more about your plans! Your wedding will be an amazing occasion and I’d love to be there to share it with you.
You’ll be pleased to know the booking process is also really simple. If you want to crack on and get your date secured, I’ll send you a link to my online booking form/contract and an invoice for your £500 retainer. Once they’re both done and back with me, I’m all yours!
I shoot a limited number of weddings every year and I do get booked up pretty quickly, so if you’re getting good vibes, let’s crack on and get you in my diary.
I can’t wait to hear back from you. Thanks again for getting in touch, it really means a lot to me that you’re considering me as your photographer.
