About

It is a great honour and privilege to photograph a wedding, so I consider myself very lucky to document around 35 a year.

I’ve been doing this for a long time and I never cease to be amazed by the love, creativity and vision of each of my couples.

I can’t recommend highly enough. Matt was professional, friendly and very discreet during our wedding day. He managed to capture the whole day all over the place without being intrusive. We just got our photos back and they are wonderful, a truly magical profile of photos to remember our special day by. Matt is a very talented photographer and we are 2 very happy clients x More...

Would I recommend visions of view?! HELL YES. I’m sure most people can relate to the daunting and awkward feeling of having their photo taken continuously for the day by a complete stranger. I worried whether the best shots were going to be captured and ‘will the photographer tell me my best angles?’, I worried the most natural and priceless moments would not be captured and forgotten about. But I was wrong. The day we met Matt for our consultation I knew we had made the right decision. He listened, shared our ideas, he made us feel comfortable with his sense of humour and genuinely was such a nice guy. There was good communication through the lead up to the day, on the day itself and still after. On our special day the majority of the time we couldn’t even notice he was there but when we did he made us feel so at ease and I suppose this reflected in his shot. Matt went above and beyond on the day, he helped in unobvious ways I wouldn’t have expected such as arranging my dress train when needed, holding my dress for me, interacting with our guests to make them feel relaxed and remained patient at all times. Matt thank you so much for capturing and completing the best day of our lives. More...

We chose Visions Of View for our wedding after seeing some beautiful shots on Facebook. From the first message Matt was friendly, enthusiastic and not pushy (like some others I'd come across). On the day he was just brilliant. Back and fourth between the bride and grooms party often with a task to collect this or that aswell bless him! He is so chilled out and directed the pictures efficiently so we could get on with the rest of our day. He captured lots of lovely moments and I am so glad we booked him. Such a lovely guy and deserves to do well. Thank you Matt, your stunning pictures will remind us of our day for years to come. More...

Matt was pleasant to work with and never felt intrusive, whilst still capturing many of the key moments of our wedding. We enjoyed looking back over the photographs and felt that it captured the spirit of our special day. I wish we had space in our flat to display all our favourite photos but it would take up too much space! More...

There’s not enough words in the world to tell you how wonderful Matt is. From the moment my partner and I met him we knew he was the photographer for us. With his outgoing personality along with his professionalism he puts you at ease and makes you feel extremely comfortable. He captured our wedding on the 10th August 2018 at Gosfield Hall. I must say he was very patient with me, I had a very long list of photographs that I wanted to be taken and nothing was too much trouble. He was here there and everywhere. Very friendly, very accommodating and a bloody fantastic photographer. We’ve had a sneak peak at a few pictures and can’t wait to see the rest. Thanks so much Matt, I will definitely be recommending your services to future couples.x More...

Matt is a truly stunning photographer. So friendly and relaxed, he really made me feel at ease on my wedding day- particularly in the morning when I was starting to feel nervous and very conscious of time. For the whole day (and evening) Matt worked solely for us and what we wanted and nothing was too much trouble. Many of our guests commented on how lovely he was and how he was not noticed capturing our beautiful photos. Matt was calming, friendly and went above and beyond, even staying later than needed because the party took off AND it was his birthday!! The end result photos are amazing and we couldn't be happier. We are so pleased we chose Matt for our special day and will be recommending him to others.. and I'm sure we will use him again in the future. Thank you Matt! X More...

We could not have been happier with Matt’s services as the photographer for our wedding; his wide range of packages offer so much flexibility and the standard is really top quality. The first thing that we liked about Matt was his friendly but professional attitude, and his really quick l response to any queries. We felt he really listened to what we wanted from our wedding photos, and as such, he represented our day in great detail, with complete accuracy, and produced a wonderful array of informal and formal shots. There was plenty of shots of every part of the day, including all the guests, and he managed to get through the group shots and our portrait shots without taking us away from our drinks reception for too long. We really could not be happier with the photographs he produced. The style, quantity, quality, accessibility of downloading them afterward, and the speed at which he processed the images were all extremely impressive and another great reason to choose him as your wedding photographer. I would recommend him wholeheartedly, and would use him again in an instant for other important events that required a photographer. More...

Q&As

I wish there was just one secret but I think it takes a lot of little things to get a truly great photograph.

Overall I’d say having a good eye for composition and the structure of a photograph is important. This might mean looking for the little details that will help tell the story or making sure there isn’t some random object in the background that will ruin the shot. It takes a lot of time and practice before you start getting this right.

For me, it’s really important to get to know the clients well; it allows me capture their personalities on the day. I’ll ask about their personal style and tastes, and if they have any cool or unique interests/hobbies we can potentially incorporate somehow.

I’ll obviously ask if they have a particular photographic style they love. And if there are any must-have photographs on the day. Some couples want formal portraits whereas others are happy for me to just snap away, so it’s good to know where they stand.

Finally, I ask if they have any questions for me.

Every single wedding is different. Every couple is unique. It never gets boring.

Like most business owners, I started simply because I wanted to follow my passion. The freedom and creativity that comes with owning your own business is definitely a nice bonus.

I’m friendly, approachable and down to earth. I like to mingle with the guests to make them feel more comfortable around the camera; it always leads to better shots.

I also have a huge portfolio and years of experience. I cover up to 32 weddings a year and I love it. I genuinely enjoy my job and I think that shows in the work.

Oh, and my prices are really competitive!
