About

On Hitched.co.uk since 2021

Last update: December 2024

Hey - I'm Matt, I’m a dad of a crazy set of little girls (5 and 2 yrs old) but most importantly I'm a wedding photographer based in Kent - who loves travelling all over the UK taking photos of each and every unique wedding.

I don’t go big on posing – (it’s awkward – I get that), I don’t take you away from your wedding for hours - I just take super relaxed, candid documentary photos - i guarantee that 95% of any gallery I deliver will be documentary photos.

I'm renowned at putting people at ease, I’m super organised but most importantly I capture beautiful, romantic fun and epic images in a relaxed way.

Please take time to look around, look at my prices and photos. If you have any questions at all, just reach out and we’ll get right back to you.

I'd love the chance to capture your special day so get in contact, I love a chat!

"Stop searching!! Everything you could dream of finding in a photographer and more Matt brings through in every shot, while making it feel like he's an extension of the family!" Jill & Paul

The best decision we made for our wedding

Matt isn’t just a photographer and artist, he is an experience curator, and such a lovely, kind person.

The photos themselves were gobsmackingly beautiful and we couldn’t be happier with them, honestly above and beyond expectations for our wedding photos. Tears of joy for at least 3 hours when we received them!

But that’s not all, the whole experience we had with Matt was truly fantastic. From the moment we met him via video call, we knew his lovely calm temperament and gorgeous style of shooting was perfect for us. Then in the run-up to the wedding he was unbelievably helpful in the planning and organising of the day via emails with fun questionnaires, short forms and Pinterest boards. He made the potentially painful process of planning the day a delight - he deserves an award for that alone!

On the day, Matt was unreal. So professional and SO lovely to us and all our guests - we received so many compliments about him. He got absolutely all the shots we were after and more, we couldn’t believe it as he blended in so beautifully with our day it didn’t feel like he was snapping away! He also took great care in making sure everyone felt comfortable and was so sweet and kind with children, too.

I can’t say enough good things about Matt and his service. He worked so hard on putting our slideshow and gallery together and made it such a wonderful experience. We love him and so do our friends and family! Thank you, Matt :)

There aren’t enough stars! 10/10, amazing work!

We hired Matt for our wedding this Autumn. I cannot thank you enough Matt, you have immortalised a perfect day in the most beautiful and thoughtful photos! The photos are such a huge part of the day and I am so glad you accepted our booking because we couldn’t be happier!

John & Mel

We couldn’t agree more with the other reviews. We really had no idea what we were doing when we’re looking for a photographer. Going with Matt Trott was one of the best decisions we made for the wedding! We were over the moon with everything!

The quality of the photography was excellent. The communication leading up to and after the wedding was spot on. But most of all it was just such a joy to have Matt at our wedding.

We got such a good array photos, different styles, angles and settings and thanks to Matt we have memories to last a lifetime. Matt made everyone around him feel at ease and mixed in so well with the guests we could barely distinguish him from the others. He allowed us space and time to enjoy the day too. Most of the time he blended into the background which, to us at least, is the sign of a good photographer. He managed to capture authentic shots and real moments which was exactly what we were looking for.

It's also worth noting that Matt’s was the fairest price we found considering what you get for it, which I’m sure is a big factor for most of those looking for a wedding photographer.

At some point soon you’ll hear a voice in your head saying, “I think I’ll go with Matt Trott”, you should probably listen to the voice. We did... and we couldn’t have been happier with that decision.

Outstanding!

From the moment we spoke with Matt about our wedding photography we just knew he was the right fit for us. He's calm, professional and extremely talented. On our wedding day, Matt made us all feel calm and relaxed and even found fun little games for us to play during a walk so he could capture some excellent images of us. He is also fantastic with young children too, also making them feel at ease. We have sat and laughed and cried (happy tears!) our way through our gallery many times already. I will be recommending Matt to anyone that will listen! Thank you thank you thank you xxx

The best wedding photographer

Matt is fantastic!! We feel very lucky to have had him photograph our wedding! He is so relaxed and friendly, putting everyone at ease. We loved spending time with him on the day and all our guests commented how great and friendly he was as well as how fantastic the photos are! The photos are perfect. He captured the day and the joy and laughter so so beautifully. He has a great technique for group photos and his drone shots are excellent too. He is also incredibly professional and made everything so easy and relaxed from start to finish. The slideshow is also brilliant and we are so excited for the finished album! Couldn’t recommend Matt more!

Nothing less than amazing!

Matt has been amazing since the moment we contacted him on Facebook. The communication was great and he's so friendly he would put anyone at ease. Even my guests loved him. And the pictures? They're wonderful. We got them in less than 3 weeks and they look stunning.

Absolutely fabulous!

Matt was amazing, he made everyone feel at ease and could not have done more to help before and on our special day.
He made sure no one felt pressured and captured some amazing natural shots that we will treasure forever.
He felt like one of the family by the end of the day.

The best decision you could make

Where do we start.....if you are looking for a photographer who will capture your day in the most beautiful way then you do not need to look any further. Having Matt as our photographer was one of the best decisions we could have made. From the time of booking Matt was helpful, knowledgeable and professional. He got to know us as a couple over the months and listened to our views and offered advice.
On the day Matt was so friendly, really blended in to our day and was in no way obtrusive. So many of our guests commented on the great shots they witnessed him capture. We didn't feel that we lost time with our wedding guests as our couples photos were taken at convenient moments to let us enjoy time with our guests. Having a January wedding - the weather isn't guaranteed but the sun was out for us and Matt captured the light in all it's glory.
Matt promised us a few sneak peaks that would arrive in the following days and less than 24 hours later we had a handful of the most beautiful photos.
Within a couple of weeks Matt had edited and put together the most amazing slideshow of our best photos and gave us access to our online gallery. 950 stunning photos that told the story of our day. We've shared our photos with family and friends and the response has been the same from everyone - WOW! Stunning photos -what an amazing photographer.
We have fabulous photos that we can treasure forever - thank you Matt, we will certainly be recommending you at every opportunity.
Best wishes
Liz & Phil

Best Wedding Photographer

Matt is incredibly professional, friendly and amazing at what he does. My wife and I were blown away with the quality of our photos. He made us both feel completely at ease from the minute he arrived and he has encapsulated our day perfectly. Everything is perfect and you can tell he really has taken the time to get to know us, the kind of photos we wanted and we truly couldn't be happier. Thank you so much Matt! Seriously, our day couldn't have been any better and we want to thank you for being there to capture it all! The photos look so natural and the reaction photos of our guests are incredible. We honestly couldn't recommend Matt enough! One of the best decisions we made about our wedding!

Amazing! Nicest man felt like part of the family

Matt, well where do we even start! You are incredible. Not just a photographer but dress fluffer, friend, comedian and generally nice guy that takes absolute pride in his work.

You amazed me and my husband from the get go. You made us feel comfortable the whole day through and didn’t stop making us laughed.

You found out my secret and kept saying “kristy breathe out” haha! Inside joke 😜

You went over and beyond your job and even all our guests said how amazing and friendly you were.

We’ve only seen our sneak peaks as we’ve only ever been married 5 days now but wow wow wow I’m inlove with them all already and cannot wait to see the rest! You even got the sneak peaks to us the next day which was so quick too.

Thank you for travelling to Southampton to photograph our wedding we cannot thank you enough.

I will definitely be using you again for when we start our own family and any lifetime memories we want captured.

Sending so much love your way you legend!

Thank you thank you thank you!

Matt is a class act.

We can’t thank Matt enough, so here’s hoping this review convinces every couple looking for a wedding photographer to look no further!

After searching through multiple websites, we found Matt’s details and instantly fell in love with his timeless style, natural shots and beautiful colours. We immediately enquired and were thrilled he was available!

Matt managed to capture the most incredible moments, as well as those peaceful intimate times and now we have photos to treasure forever.

However, Matt consistently went above and beyond our expectations in his dedication to providing us the most, smoothest and enjoyable day possible. His assistance with parts of the day was instrumental to that, and we are so incredibly grateful.

We honestly felt in such professional and capable hands. From the moment Matt arrived he lead and guided our day, directing us for the best shots, keeping us on schedule and providing a friendly & reassuring voice on our shoulder on such a busy and hectic day.
Not only is Matt an amazing artist, but genuinely an incredibly nice person with a bubbly personality and positive charming attitude.

The whole experience working with Matt was a pleasure, we've recently been provided with a link to our gallery and the whole setup is intuitive and easy to use, allowing us to send links to guest and friends to view and order photos alike.

So, if you are overwhelmed with choice as we were, we hope this helps place trust in Matt! He is a class act who will make your wedding day run 100x smoother!

Simply breathtaking and a delight to work with!

Matt was so easy to work with, when I finally met him on the actual wedding day it was like he was an old friend! He had this magical gift of being everywhere, taking the most amazing images whilst not getting in anyone’s way. It was like having a family friend with us. Matt is the most amazing photographer and the pictures of our boys and us on our wedding day are just stunning. I couldn’t have wanted anything more from our wedding pictures and just want to say a huge thank you Matt for being part of a very special day and capturing every magical moment! Don’t look any further…. book Matt today!

The best decision we made for pour wedding!!

Matt went above and beyond anything we could have imagined when it came to being the photographer at our wedding. He made every single person comfortable and relaxed. He listened to every aspect we wanted, including candid shots and small bursts of time away from our guests. Not only was he a great photographer but he helped immensley with the smooth running of the day, including carting my 10 month old around, making him smile, setting up his travel cot and holding the umbrella through the rain whilst I walked to the venue. Matt also stayed later than planned when he found out we were due to have a booze toss and didn't want us to miss out on photos - so amazing

Absolutely fantastic service, we couldn't have wanted or needed any more - such a great choice

Look no further Matt is your perfect wedding photographer!

On the lead up he made us feel completely comfortable that our pictures would be amazing and reflect the what we after from the photos. Matt is super responsive with questions - not that we ever had many as he always had it covered through conversations, emails & questionnaires about are big day.

Taking our couple photos it felt he made us feel completely comfortable, got us laughing and the results are stunning! (As the bride I was worried I wouldn't like the photos of myself I never do - but I couldn't be happier with the results!) We really couldn't believe how fantastic they were and the way Matt set's up your first viewing is perfect.

He was also just super helpful on the day going above and beyond. He was honestly the best decision we made for our wedding (apart from saying 'I Do' of course).

Stop looking, book matt now!

Wow - we cannot express how thrilled we are with our wedding photos. I was really nervous about having my photo taken but they came out absolutely amazing! Matt really captured the joy of the day!

Also, he was just so much fun to have around which made having our photos taken that much easier! Everyone kept coming up to us and saying how great he was. He was non-stop all day capturing beautiful pictures of us and of our guests and helping me get untangled from the endless brambles!

My sister already wants to book him for her wedding and she’s not engaged yet!

STOP LOOKING AND BOOK MATT NOW! You will not be disappointed!
