Mathew & Kelly's profile info

We blend timeless, elegant wedding photography with a relaxed and fun approach. When you book us you don't just receive a series of beautiful photos, you receive the story of your day. We get to know our couples, understand your personalities, and work with you as friends. By the time your big day comes around, you’re completely at ease and just enjoying the moment. We're not just photographers; we’re storytellers with cameras, dedicated to catching the quiet glances, the laughter, the happy tears, and everything in between that makes your day uniquely yours. We believe the best photos aren’t staged—they’re felt. And that’s what you’ll see in every frame we deliver. What sets us apart from many photographers is we're able to adapt to almost any photographic style. From classic black and white to bright and airy looks, from dramatic sunsets to portraits under the stars, we work with you to create your dream wedding portraits. Seen something you like? Let us know and we can work with you to replicate that mood. Our images are expertly and sensitively edited. Want to see how we turn real moments into lifelong memories? Take a look at our portfolio.

Tell couples about your experience and approach
In a word: relaxed.

We are there to document your day and capture beautiful memories that you'll treasure forever. 

We pride ourselves on being friendly, approachable, and always open to new ideas. 

You focus on having the best day of your life. We'll focus on capturing those incredible moments that made it uniquely yours.
What can couples do to get the most out of their wedding photography on the day?
Communicate with us your expectations and inspiration beforehand. 

Seen a wedding photo you like? Send it to us. 
Seen a wedding photo you hate? Send that to us too. 

It all helps us build a picture of what you want out of the day. Unless you are also a photographer you can't be expected to give us a technical breakdown of you want your shots. However, you will know when you like what you see - let us know and we'd love to discuss the possibilities.

If you have absolutely no idea where to begin, try our portfolio. We pride ourselves on having a very diverse selection of shots, so see what takes your fancy.
Are you super chatty or will be you be a fly on the wall?
Any of our lovely couples will tell you we are always friendly and chatty and can always be approached - a big part of getting great wedding photos is establishing a good rapport with the newlyweds!

During the day, whether we are chatty or a fly on the wall depends on the situation. 

For example, for the group shots and classic wedding portraiture many couples prefer a hands-on and traditional approach where we will be gently directing the scenes to get the best photos.

However during the ceremony and reception we specialise in candid reportage photography. You will not expect to see us often - we hang back and shoot the scenes as they unfold. If we've done our job well, we are hardly noticed.
What are your artistic influences?
We have a shared love of nature, landscapes, seascapes and the night sky. These are the things we photograph for our own enjoyment and in our own free time. 

Have a look at our portfolio and you'll see these influences in our artistic choices behind the camera. We love to incorporate your surroundings with your wedding portraiture. 

Epic vistas, historic landmarks, and twinkling stars have all served as our canvas for creating unforgettable wedding portraits for our couples. 

If you're getting married somewhere epic, you definitely want to give us a call!

We also understand that not every wedding venue can be a castle or a stately home. This is why we often whisk our couples away from their reception for some precious moments at a photogenic location nearby. Jump on a call with us and we can discuss options near to your venue.
What was your favourite wedding shoot, and why?
This is like asking which is your favourite child! Every wedding shoot tells its own beautiful story and has its own compelling moments, so it's very difficult to choose. 

From a purely photographic perspective - capturing a shooting star in the night sky above one of our couples at Caldicot Castle is one of our favourite portfolio pieces, and one that is impossible to replicate. (No, this was not Photoshopped!)
What kinds of moments are you looking to capture?
There are some elements of a wedding day that your photographer will direct - the big group shots, the family photos, and the classic portraits of the newlyweds.

However, this is just a small part of your day. 

The rest of the day we prefer to be a part of the background, capturing moments as they happen. Through our photographs we want to tell the story of your day, but we don't want to write it. 

Real reactions, unstaged. 

A delighted groom watching his bride arrive. A parent shedding a tear. Your guests laughing during the speeches. 

These are the moments that cannot be staged, they are as beautiful as they are fleeting. It takes a skilled and empathetic photographer, working unobtrusively, to capture these memories.
Why should couples choose you as a photographer?
We both share similar qualities which we believe makes us a great choice to photograph your wedding.

1. Skill. Knowing our camera settings like the back of our hands is just part of the technical skill. We are able to adapt to changing weather, indoor and outdoor environments, and low light conditions to create beautiful images.

2. Empathy. We are truly invested in your day. We will be laughing along with the speeches and yes, on occasion we shed a tear during your vows. 

3. Sensitivity and inclusivity. We are DBS-checked and have extensive experience photographing people of all ages, ethnicities, cultures, orientation and physical abilities. Please make us aware of any guests or customs we need to pay special attention to and we will discreetly tailor our efforts according to your wishes. 

4. Artistic vision. We love creative wedding photos that are different to the norm. Bring us your inspiration, or let us pitch you our ideas. 

5. Communication. We know how to communicate with the key players that make your wedding happen, and gently direct them to make your shots happen. From a vicar to the bar staff, from your grandparents to toddlers. Crucially, we will confidently direct your guests for the group shots. 

6. Experience. We are punctual and organised, and we've done this a lot! By understanding the flow of a wedding, we can now anticipate a lot of the key shots before they happen, such as the first look, first kiss, and reactions to speeches.

7. Backups. You are in safe hands but should the unexpected occur, we factor in some alternative plans. We travel with a second camera, extra lenses and multiple batteries. Immediately after the wedding, your images are backed up. 

8. Flexibility of style. Many wedding photographers tend to offer a fixed aesthetic that they offer, but we like to turn this idea on its head. Check out our portfolio and you'll see a broad spectrum of styles and looks, reflecting our clients personalities and tailored to their choice of venue and aesthetic. Classic portraiture, black and white, candid reportage, bold and colourful, rustic, avant garde - we can do it all.
What is the most important thing to you when you photograph weddings?
By far the most important thing that matters to us is that you, our clients, are delighted with the photos and with the service we provide. Everything we discuss and plan, capture on the day, and deliver afterwards is with this goal in mind. 

(Having said that, a few canapes during the reception can really help keep the energy levels up! If you could price in a couple of extra salmon blinis for the photographer we're always ever so grateful.)
What's the most important thing couples should know about you before they book?
Though we do not take ourselves too seriously and are very relaxed people, we take our job as your wedding photographer very seriously because we love what we do. There is a lot of thought, skill and practice that has gone into our craft.

Capturing your memories is not just a job to us, it is a privilege that we take very seriously. For most of us, our wedding photos hang in our homes, we will see them every day. Invest in us to capture that day for you and you will receive images that you will treasure forever, which will remind you every day of your beautiful wedding.
