Matt, what can we say, he was phenomenal! The memories and moments he captured at our wedding are so invaluable and will be treasured for the rest of our lives! He always just seemed to be in the right place at the right time always with the biggest smile on his face which was just wonderful! A million thanks would not be enough for all of 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 we would so highly recommend his awesome photography skills! More...

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.

Wedding Photography

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! More...

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! More...

Mathew was excellent and liked by all as he caught the incredible pictures of 4 generations both young and old. A part from his pleasurable and interesting company you weren’t aware he was there allowing him to catch special moments that would otherwise be lost. I cannot recommend Mathew any higher and would love to have him at future family weddings and special occasions. Thankyou More...

Matthew was recently our wedding photographer, and we honestly couldn’t have wished for a better one! He was so easy to get on with, and kept our guests laughing all day. We had so many comments from our guests saying what a fantastic photographer and just a genuinely nice guy he was! By the end of the night he was more like one of our guests as everyone was getting on so well with him. The photos came out amazing as well, he really did such a good job, we are so happy with them and so grateful to Matthew! We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer. Thank you so much, Matthew! More...

Hi Matt

I just wanted to take the time to thank you once again for everything you did for us on our wedding day.

The photos were excellent - we love them! ! We had such much fun taking them, you really out us at ease with your approach.

Thanks so much for being our witness, driving us around, dropping us off at The Dome and getting the pictures to us SO quickly!

My feet have just about recovered from the 11 thousand steps I took in those heels… and the pictures are already up round the house.

Wishing you all the very best with the business and this coming wedding season.

With love from Kristina and Martin

Matt shot our wedding on the 29th April 2023 and we could not have chosen a better photographer. He shot our friends wedding the year before and after seeing her pictures we loved his work and booked him. From the minute I started to interact with Matt I knew he was going to be great. Firstly, he always answered messages promptly which was reassuring for us and secondly we loved his excitement and enthusiasm towards our day.
From the moment he arrived he talked me through what we were doing. He worked amazingly alongside our videographer and generally just made me feel at ease. He interacted so well with the guests in a fun but professional manner which everyone complimented. Matthew was able to capture candid photos of us and our guests which really showed the emotions on that day. He also suggested loads of different photo opportunities to make sure we didn’t miss out and he captured shots we didn’t even know we wanted!
Fast forward to after the wedding. Matt’s aftercare is amazing. He sent us some teasers after the wedding to share on social media etc but he was prompt in getting us the full collection (even got it to us quicker than he had originally said which was a pleasant surprise). We were provided with a USB and prints.
He made us an incredible album which really showed his true artistic talent, better than that he’s genuinely very passionate about what he does and has the technical knowledge to back it up!
He’s hands down one of the nicest guys we’ve ever met.
Long and short is book Matt for any occasion photo shoot cause he’s awesome!

Matthew was a pleasure to have as our wedding photographer. He is friendly and warm and we are very pleased with the photographs taken. He has a relaxed and informal style with most photos taken unposed however I asked for a some specific photos to be taken which was no issue. Would definitely recommend 😃 More...

We are so glad we chose Matt as our wedding photographer. From the very beginning he was fun and friendly and everything felt so relaxed. He was also very easy to communicate with beforehand and on the day. The photos are beautiful and capture the relaxed atmosphere we wanted. Everyone has commented on how amazing the photos are and we are so proud to show them to our family and friends. The photobook he created is amazing and we will cherish it forever. We cannot recommend Matt highly enough. More...

Thank you for helping to give us special memories to cherish! More...

We were lucky enough to have Matt as a photographer for our wedding in Greece 3 years ago. The photos are amazing. He ws great at ushering people together for photos and used a mixture of our own ideas as well as his own for shots. Would 100% recommend.

31 August 2022

I am so unbelievably happy with my decision to book Matt for our big day.

I hate having my photo taken the whole thing was making me really nervous, but Matt’s laid back relaxed style suited us down to a tee. I received our photos last night and I was blown away with every single one. Matt was so kind and a pleasure to have there, so many of my guests commented on how lovely he was.

Thank you Matt you are wonderful.

Highly recommended Matthew as a photographer. He was hired by my doughter Lindsey and her fiancé Gary for their wedding in Edinburgh. Matthew was so friendly and easy going. We never felt he got in the way of their big day and took some amazing photos. We didn't want a lot of posed shots which he prefers and the outcome was some beautiful moments captured forever. Thank you Matthew! More...

Q&As

I love how no 2 weddings are the same. Driving up to a venue not knowing what to expect is a great buzz for me! I also love the speeches as they are always so personal and usually a great laugh! Capturing moments of your most memorable day is also a great feeling. I always think of the bride and groom 20 years down the line showing their children their old wedding photos, knowing it was me that took them makes me smile! :-)

I've always loved photography and always been good at photos. It was only 4 years ago that I started to do weddings and instantly realized I had a massive passion for it. I think the fact that I love doing this as a job brushes off on clients as well which is why I think I am seeing a big surge in bookings.

Weddings can be stressful and one of my best attributes in this industry is to make you feel at ease! I capture the day as it happens, with no fictional poses. I also feel that my services don't just stop at photography. Something as simple as running down the stairs to fetch the bride a glass of water or helping the groomsmen with last minute buttonholes are prefect examples!
