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!

We recently got married on 20th April 2024 and are so glad we chose Matt to be our wedding photographer. From the very beginning, when we were looking for a photographer, he stood out to us with they way he described himself and spoke about his own family on his website.

We are a young family, and although we wanted to capture our wedding day, including our daughter as much as we could was at the forefront for us. Matt was fun and friendly, and everything felt so relaxed. He was very easy to communicate with before and on the day.

Our photos came out stunning, and he really captured the atmosphere we wanted. All our firends and family have commented on how amazing the photos are, and we are extremely proud to show them off.

He captured our day extremely well, and we now have the most perfect wedding photos that speak a thousand words and are filled with so many wonderful and special memories. We can not recommend Matt highly enough.

Thank you Matthew Smith Photography for capturing the beautiful moments of our special day ✨️

We recently had the pleasure of working with Matt for our micro wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Despite the intimate setting with only six guests and our two dogs, he managed to capture every precious moment discreetly and beautifully.

His professionalism and unobtrusive presence were truly impressive. He took some lovely photos of our dogs as well, and they were at ease with him being around, not that easily achievable with a guarding breed, which was a testament to his gentle and calming presence.

During our bridal shoot, he made us feel so relaxed, which made the experience even more enjoyable and the photos absolutely stunning.

We also had a memorable swan incident during the ceremony, and Matt jumped into action, shooing the swan away with a special dance routine using umbrellas. He saved the day and added a fun, unforgettable moment to our wedding.

We highly recommend Matt for any special occasion. His exceptional talent and dedication truly made our special day unforgettable.

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 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. Thank you so much, Matthew!

We are so glad we chose Matt as our wedding photographer. From the very beginning he was fun and friendly and everything felt so relaxed. He was also very easy to communicate with beforehand and on the day. The photos are beautiful and capture the relaxed atmosphere we wanted. Everyone has commented on how amazing the photos are and we are so proud to show them to our family and friends. The photobook he created is amazing and we will cherish it forever. We cannot recommend Matt highly enough.

Matthew captured our day perfectly! He’s not only a professional but a perfectionist! His ability to spot the perfect moments that bring back the most incredible memories is perfect! He was a pleasure to deal with before, during and after our big day. He provided us a preview link very quickly after our big day which was great! Absolute pleasure to deal with and would highly recommend him! If you get him confirmed for your wedding, your pics will be amazing!! Thanks Matthew!

Mathew Smith is the All Seeing Eye! Ever present he has a natural talent to unobtrusively capture those candid moments you might never have even realised. He can equally engage with a crowd of any occasion that allows him to professionally orchestrate and stage photos to a masterful degree. You will not be disappointed but rather should look forward to some of the best kept memories that will become your past.

Matthew was so down to earth and had a very relaxed vibe, his approach was just what we were after! Natural, candid shots that truly reflected our day perfectly!

Matt was fantastic on the day. We had not had the chance to meet prior to the wedding day because of covid but this was not an issue at all Matt was so friendly and felt like a guest. He really listened to what we wanted from our photos. I hate having my photo taken and was really nervous about spending ages posing. But all we did was go for a little walk together and I was so happy with the result. So many of my married guests commented on Matt and how wonderful they thought he was and his style. The only regret I have is not booking Matt for the full day.

Matthew was absolutely amazing, we couldn’t have wished for a better photographer to capture our day. He was amazing with the guests and just fit in straight away! He was never in one place he was socialising with all the guests and taking photos at the same time to capture everyone in the moment and enjoying the day. This way we got the real images and feel of the day rather than lots of staged photos. Matthew really tailors to your needs and ensures you have the images you have envisioned. I researched lots of photographers and there was plenty to choose from with being in the Lake District however I’m I glad I went with my instinct and chose Matthew to come from Scotland! If your looking for an amazing photographer who goes with the flow of the day, adds no pressure and who’s main aim is to get the best photos of the day, I wouldn’t look any further!

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!!

Matt was an absolutely amazing wedding photographer! He was calm, collected and confident throughout the day, however has an exceptional work ethic and an ability to capture special moments without making a big fuss about it. Matt put everyone at ease and was happy to work with my husband and I to find the best shots, possible. Matt is clearly very experienced and confident in his ability. Matt was always up for a laugh throughout the day and engaged so well with all the guests. We've had such amazing feedback from all of our friends and family about how amazing Matt was! Choosing a wedding photographer can be a daunting experience, however we are so grateful we found Matt and will be recommending him to everyone from now on!!

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!

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.
