About

Choosing the right photographer is not just about the price, you also need to consider the person behind the camera. I like my sessions to be lighthearted and fun as I want my clients to enjoy their experience. I find that having a good sense of humour and boundless patience are key ingredients to a successful photo shoot.

Matthew was the most amazing photographer! He took the time to understand what I needed and helped direct me during the shoot. I immediately felt really comfortable with him and this combined with his creative skills as a photographer ensured that I got the BEST photos I could have possibly asked for. I am beyond happy with them and know that these photos will be used in decades to depict me as my younger self. You are an amazing photographer and I am very lucky to have worked with you so thank you! I could not sing his praise more!!! More...

Matthew was friendly and approachable from first contact. He listened to what we hoped to achieve from our photography session, offered advice and then spent time on the day ensuring everything was captured. We have a lovely range of photographs as a result - family, group and individual photos, with a natural and relaxed feel. Matthew was patient and encouraging, prepared to spend time to ensure we were comfortable - the results of this speak for themselves! Thank you so much Matthew! More...

Matthew attended our PreSchoolers Graduation ceremony, with this year being slightly different (COVID restrictions meant parents were unable to attend). Matthew kindly stepped up to ensure those special moments were captured. Extremely reasonable rates, very friendly and professional. We have booked for him to come back again.

We were lucky enough to win a family location shoot from Matthew. Matthew was great he spent lots of time with us to get a wide range of shots. He was particularly great at putting my son at ease who was a little reluctant to have his photo taken. About a week later we received all our photos and we were really happy with the quality and range of shots. Thanks again Matthew :) More...

Matt made the photo shoot very laid back and fun, which considering we had 2 'challenging children' and a toddler to be in the photos, was a huge achievement. We're very happy with our photos and haven't yet been able to choose which ones to sort out getting in frames. More...

Matthew came out to photograph both of my horses with me. Professional and such an enjoyable day had by all. (Think I have changed Matthew's opinion on horses) Would 100% recommend him and hopefully in the near future sort out another shoot.

We had a wonderful time at our Family photoshoot with Matt in our favourite woods. He was happy to re-arrange dates when the weather wasn’t looking very promising initially. He was very friendly and approachable, putting the whole family at ease very quickly. The photos are beautiful, with a good variety of style. We will be happily recommending Matt to all of our friends! More...

Our family were really excited about the photoshoot and were looking forward to it. We were able to choose the location (we went for a family walk and picnic. Matt accommodated our plans and turned up on time at our picnic location. He very quickly got us organised and began the photo shoot. He was particularly good with our two children who were put at ease and were very comfortable during the experience. The shots Matt took were a combination of candid, natural, fun and staged photos which meant we had a great range to choose from. The editing was all completed by Matt in four days and we had the photos to view via his website. We would recommend his services. More...

I booked Matt for our wedding from a recommendation from a friend and we were not disappointed. Matt was very relaxed and calm the whole day and it made me feel very at ease. I don't really like having my photo taken, but I knew I would regret it if I didn't have a professional photographer at my wedding. Matt captured all of those images that I didn't get to fully see and appreciate, as you don't on your wedding day. I love the photos I have of my special day and I even love the ones with me in and that never happens. Couldn't recommend him highly enough. More...

Matt was very clear with his pricing strategy and very relaxed whilst doing the shoot. He had lots of props and ideas to get some lovely shots. Matt showed me some of the images he had captured to make sure I was happy with them and really managed to get my little ones personality through in the pictures.
Matt gave me an estimate of when I would receive the images and I actually got them sooner. The photos are lovely and I can't recommend him enough. No hard selling, the price is as advised so no unexpected cost.

We’ve just been to Matthews studios this morning to get pictures of our 5 month old, the whole experience was very relaxed and chilled, Milo loved it! We had as many breaks as we needed, to change/to feed, as soon as Milo started to get a little frustrated Matt suggested a little break, which was great! I would definitely recommend, he got some really great smiles from Milo and was very animated which kept Milo engaged! ! Thank you! We cannot wait to see the images! And also cannot wait to get some family pics out in the forest once Milo is walking! More...

Q&As

Being in the right place at the right time and that comes with experience and knowledge.

What style of photos do you like?
How do you see your day running?

Meeting new people, and visiting new places, and being able to capture that moment in time for people to be able to look at and remember that special moment all over again.

I love photography and I wanted to be able to offer it to more people at realistic prices.

Choosing the right photographer is not just about the quality of the photographs, you also need to consider the person behind the camera as the quality of the relationship, no matter how brief, will show through on the images. I like my sessions to be lighthearted and fun as I want my clients to enjoy their experience. I find that having a good sense of humour and boundless patience are key ingredients to a successful photo shoot.

Services

Would you like your wedding photos to be done in such an unobtrusive, informal way that you don't even know you're being photographed? I specialise in photographing couples who want awesome images.

My style is relaxed, modern, and authentic photography, which means I photograph the main bits of your day, and everything in between, in a totally candid, natural way. I photograph from bridal preparation through to the party, and everything in between! Your photographs will be ready to view on a secure online gallery within 3weeks of your wedding day, and after this you will receive the final images on a USB memory stick for you to keep.

You can also add on an engagement shoot / pre-wedding shoot, which is a great opportunity for you to practice what it's like being in front of my camera, like a dry run, where you get some great photos to keep at the end. Plus, it's a great way for me to get to know you and for you to become comfortable with me, ready for the big day.

Forget about polished posed studio portraits. These are outdoor family adventures capturing your family how they are and how you want to remember them for years to come. Let the little ones run around and be silly.

The best thing about photographing kids is that they are not self-conscious. They won't all look at the camera at the same time, and they might not smile when you tell them to. But they will be themselves and it is this playfulness of you and your family that I will capture.

Typically 1– 1 1/2 hours depending on variable e.g. weather, location choice, children’s moods.

I will provide a secure online gallery and store of all your images.

Do you need a set of professional photos for a casting/ portfolio/ job application? I offer an efficient service to get you those photos at a price that is affordable but do not compromise on quality

Do you need some more content for your website or social media page or are you launching a new product or service and need that wow image to draw in those customers?

Your little ones are now walking and talking so let's get creative with their individual personalities shining through. Let them play whilst I capture those natural smiles, giggles, and funny faces.

I will provide a secure online gallery and store of all your images.

Available throughout Hampshire, my photography is devoted to capturing magical, bespoke images of your dog, cat, horse or other animals' characteristics in a style that reflects their own personality, no matter whether they are lively creatures, well behaved or 'pensioner pets' enjoying the later stages of life.

Each animal photography session is uniquely designed around their individual temperament to capture their natural character in a stress-free environment and is completely tailored with thorough planning. This will result in a set of bespoke, professional images to treasure for a lifetime. The experience is vastly different from many of the traditional photographer's studio sessions or superstore offers that provide static scenic sets into which the dog or cat is simply positioned.

Each horse photography session is uniquely designed around the individual temperament of your horse to capture their natural character in a stress-free environment and is completely tailored with thorough planning. This will result in a set of bespoke, professional images to treasure for a lifetime.
The session will last approx 45-1hr and can include a rider or purely capturing your horse's beauty in the yard/ stable/ field/ riding school - all up to you.

A Christening is one of the most important events in your child’s life and is a great way for family and friends to meet and welcome your little one into the family. Bringing family and friends together can be very precious especially on such a special occasion. To help you treasure these memories for a lifetime. As with all of my packages, they are totally flexible and just there as a guideline. Whatever your requirements please give me a call to discuss.

Any opportunity to capture your love for each other.
The location and backdrop is completely up to you or I can recommend areas depending on your hobbies and interests.
