    Great photographer, great guy!

    We met up with Matt to talk about the photography for our wedding, and as soon as we met him we knew we wanted to book him!
    At our pre-wedding shoot and on our wedding day, Matt made us feel so comfortable and at ease. He's such a friendly person, and everyone at the wedding loved him.
    The photos taken at our pre-wedding shoot and the sneak peeks we've had so far from our wedding are beautiful, better than we could have imagined.
    Matt was the photographer for the wedding of a family member who recommended him to us, and we've been recommending him to everyone we know since.

    An absolute legend!

    Matt was recommended to us by someone who got married at the same venue and we are so so glad we chose him! Before booking, we met up for a catch up drink to see if our personalities aligned which I thought was a great idea as you want someone who you'll get along with so you don't feel awkward in front of the camera. Ever since, he has been brilliant throughout and kept up with communications super quickly (sometimes I wonder if he does rest?!). We did a pre-wedding shoot which he was so accomodating for, we had our baby and dog with us and we made him go on a VERY long walk which he didn't complain about (to us at least haha!). We had our big day on 17.08.23 at The Fleece Countryside Inn, he was on time, did what he needed to do, helped out with little bits like moving my stuff from room to room, but never got in our way and still captured all the little details whilst we got ready. He got the photos back to us soooo quickly (again, does he rest?) and they were all so beautiful. He also filmed highlights of our day for a video montage and we sobbed watching it back, We couldn't be more grateful for Matt for capturing such special moments that we'll rememeber for the rest of our lives. He was so easy toget along with, made everyone laugh, even our guests said the same. We truly see him as a friend rather than just another supplier!

    The best photographer 🌟

    The first time we met Matt was at our Pre wedding shoot, we were struggling to decide where to have it and safe to say we were both pretty nervous, neither of us had done anything like this before. Matt recommended a beach shoot and safe to say we had so much fun and the photos were amazing!
    Then the wedding day…… Wow. Literally captured the most amazing memories for us to look back on, again whilst having the best time and feeling so relaxed. All our family and friends have commented on how brilliant he was on the day…. And then how outstandingly amazing the photos are. We can’t stop looking at them. We actually struggle to put into words how grateful we are. We would 1000% recommend Matt, it’s clear to see how much he loves his job, nothing it too much trouble and he was such a laugh and pleasure to be around all day. He truly is the best Photographer!
    Thank you so soooo much ! Xx

    Couldn't have asked for better

    It seems hard to express succinctly just how pleased we were with Matt.

    He's the friendliest dude. His infectious enthusiasm makes the entire process - from before the big day and the first meeting(s) right up until the close of the evening celebrations - so much easier and more enjoyable for the both of us. My wife and I are not the most photographic people in the world, we needed a little bit of encouragement to pose at times, but Matt made the entire process feel relaxed and informal and managed to coax it out of us.

    The guests, bridesmaids and wedding party all commented on Matt's character and ability to capture them at their best, as well as bringing smiles and laughter to even the most begrudging photo subjects (you know how certain Dads can be...).

    All of that is without speaking of the quality of the work. The photographs look absolutely fantastic, we couldn't have asked for a higher quality of work. We have an online album that will be secure and accessible for the rest of our lives, and already we have had great joy in reliving certain moments captured by Matt.

    I know we were rather stressed trying to source vendors, photographers etc. in the lead up to our wedding but save yourself any hassle and book Matt. We couldn't have asked for a better guy, or a better photographer.

    Where can I start!
    Matt is a truly incredible photographer and person to have on your wedding day
    It shows that photography is his passion as it reflects in his photos and how he goes above and beyond on the day to capture them
    Matt came and met me and my husband before our wedding for a meeting and discussed what kind of photos we’d like got to know our personalities so he knew what photos would be right for us
    And if I’m honest when you think photographer some people love photos some people hate photos, you just didn’t feel like you had a camera pointing at you constantly and we loved that, but yet he captured the most beautiful moments and they can often be the best photos the natural and unexpected
    All in all we wouldn’t have changed a thing and Matt it was a privilege to have had you as our photographer for our big day, thank you doesn’t even cut it!

    Absolutely amazing!

    Matt has created the gallery of our wedding that reflects our personalities perfectly. He came to meet us before the wedding so he could get to know us both, on the wedding day he blended in amazingly, all our guests have commented on how friendly he was and how he fit in just like he was a guest, they loved him. I could take photos forever, whereas my husband hates photos, but Matt found the perfect balance of staged shots and candid shots to ensure we got the content we wanted without being overwhelmed. He’s gone above and beyond and produced so many amazing photos and got our gallery completed and uploaded within a couple of weeks. Worth every penny and more, Matt is definitely our ‘go to’ photographer from now and I will highly recommend him! Thanks so much Matt!

    A absolute delight!!

    We got married in America in October and we were looking to hire a photographer for a happily ever after party over here, Matt was recommended to us by some good friend’s and I’m so glad he was!! He was a absolute delight to work with.. Matt put everyone at ease and got some amazing candid shots ( of people that don’t generally like pics taken) he was up for anything and felt more like a friend than a photographer.. nothing was too much trouble and I’m over the moon with the all the shots he took! He got them back to me in lightening speed too!!! I’m ready to book another shoot with him for the summer and autumn!!! If your thinking about booking Matt, it’s honestly a no brainier!! Just do it you will not be disappointed

    Matt is wonderful, fabulous & amazing ❤︯

    I don’t even know where to begin - I could cry just thinking about how wonderful Matt made our wedding.
    He’s so incredibly talented & our photographs are AMAZING - but, more importantly to us - Matt is absolutely lovely, his energy is kind & warm, we felt like we had friend there as our photographer.
    Matt went above & beyond to capture our day, the weather was hideous!, but Matt was still creative & so exited to get some wonderful pictures (He was drenched 🥹 from standing in the rain to get the right shots)

    Words can’t describe just how nice this man is & the work he does is fantastic: nothing is too much trouble & he does his job smoothly and effortlessly.

    Matt’s friend julie accompanied Matt to our wedding who was also lovely & also got some wonderful pictures.

    Matt was recommended to us by another photographer, which says enough in itself.
    And we will continue to enthusiastically recommend Matt wherever we go!

    We loved having you both there -

    THANK YOU SO MUCH.
    All the very best for 2023 - love Mr & Mrs Crowther ❤️❤️❤️

    THANK YOU MATT.

    The best of the best

    Friendly. Professional. Amazing at what he does. Can’t speak highly enough of Matt. He is absolutely fantastic at what he does. Our photos are a fabulous combination of beautiful, romantic & funny. He has caught so many moments we would never have seen. We are absolutely over the moon with every single picture. & he got them to us within weeks! From start to finish Matt has been amazing. We cannot thank him enough! Would recommend 10000%
