  The most amazing photographer!

  
  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!

  Wedding Photography

  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!!

  Exceptional photographer

  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!!

  Brilliant Photographer

  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 ✨️

  Beautiful Moments Captured by Matt at Our Wedding

  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.

  The most wonderful photographer!

  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!

  Captures the natural feel of the day - what a talent!

  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.

  The photo ninja!

  We got married at the start of October and the natural Scottish weather arrived that day. Despite the rain Matt managed to still capture stunning photos!!
  We honestly can’t thank him enough. I remember seeing a review saying you didn’t even notice he was there half the time and my goodness was that true! A photo ninja, but when you did see him he had a huge smile on his face & knew how to capture the right moments.
  Matt thank you for capturing the day, we couldn’t recommend you more.

  A genuinely lovely person to work with

  From the moment we started our communication with Matthew he instantly made the photography part of our wedding an absolute delight. From having an introductory chat over FaceTime to meeting in person on the day, he has a professional way of just making you feel like it’s just one of your friends taking your wedding pictures. We trusted his judgement and allowed him to just shoot what he thought best and we were over the moon with how he captured our day. He was super prompt at letting us see some photos a day or 2 after the wedding and just a month down the line we’ve got our prints and album and are so pleased with them. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer to capture the natural beauty of your wedding day, then Matthew is your guy. Plus he doubles up as a wedding nanny at key moments too!

  The best wedding photographer!

  Matt captured our wedding day perfectly, I cannot recommend him enough! He was friendly and made us feel at ease which was great as we don't love getting our photos taken. He was always looking for the next shot and got some absolutely beautiful pictures. We love his candid style and he was able to capture lots of lovely moments with our family and friends we'll be able to look back on for years to come. He also sent our photos to us so so quickly. Thank you so much Matt!
