Meet Matt

"Matt is like a warming cup of cocoa in wedding photographer form. Comforting, stress-relieving, and always delivers." Gemma & Sarah☆☆☆☆☆

Hi, I’m Matt.

I’m a social introvert, travel-loving, coffee-fueled dyslexic and a bit of a geek at heart who’s always up for a good food adventure.

My life is enriched by my wife and partner in crime Corina (photo from our wedding above), our baby boy, and two mischievous cats. Plus I get to do a job I am passionate about (teachers at school never told me this was a career option).

Never wanting to be a complete stranger on your wedding day, here is the story of how I became a wedding photographer based in London.

My Story Into Wedding Photography

It Began in Salone

I initially followed a fairly traditional path – An economics degree at Bath Uni and a job at a Consultancy firm in London. Then in 2012, based mostly on a gut decision, I flew out to a country I had never visited before to live for 7 months and get a job with an NGO.

Some context might be helpful here. One of the most defining parts of my childhood was being sent to an International School in Paris. Growing up with kids from all over the world fostered in me a love for travel and exploring other cultures. Over the years my curiosity for exploring new places has only grown.

So I found myself in Freetown, the capital of the West African nation of Sierra Leone.

Just before this trip, I bought my first camera. Exploring the streets of Freetown, I quickly fell in love with the camera’s ability to tell the story of a place, show people’s characters and to capture moments and beauty. Over a decade later this is still core to how I photograph weddings. I even got one of my photos featured on the BBC.

Returning to London, I started to think about where I could photograph moments, stories and people being their authentic selves. My solution was weddings.

Two years later, I quit my job to go full-time as a wedding photographer and I have never looked back.

A Passion for Travel

Alongside weddings, I fuel my travel bug and the rewarding sense I get from teaching by running a handful of photography workshops each year.
