    Best Photographer Ever

    Great experience from booking to receiving our photos. Matthew was the perfect photographer for us. He was so helpful and laid back and the photographs he took captured moments of our special day perfectly.

    Absolutely fantastic

    Matthew was fantastic at our wedding. He made us feel so comfortable - I'm not a big fan of having my photo taken, but he really made everyone feel at ease and went for the candid style - there were so many times we didn't even know he was there. We had a few kids at the wedding as well, and he was so amazing with them too! We got our photos back very quick as well, and are so happy with them. Would definitely recommend.

    Wedding hire


    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 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...

    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...

    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...

    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...
