Happy couple married in December

Truly a master of his craft!
Matt is truly a master at his craft! From the moment of booking Matt he sent helpful information through his online portal. With fun questionnaires, mood boards etc. He truly wanted to get to us as a couple and learn our story. The whole process was fun and stress free. On the day Matt was a superstar! He was such a huge part of the wedding. He turned up and asked who was who and all our little fun stories and felt like part of the whole party joining in with jokes whilst still capture all the moments of laughter. I’m quite anxious in front of cameras and Matt made it so relaxed and fun that you don’t even realise you’re being photographed. Through matts suggestion as we had a twilight ceremony we decided to do a first look. And I was unsure to begin with thinking I wanted that traditional wow moment walking down the aisle but it was the best decision we made for the whole wedding! (Thank you so much for recommending the first look Matt!) having that moment with my husband was one of my main wedding highlights. Just me and him, no guests, no wedding party, no child. It was perfect and Matt captured it all. Those candid shots of us just being together in the moment are some of my favourite. And it was just as special walking down the aisle. The ceremony we had a surprise that we didn’t know about just my parents knew and they had obviously let Matt know. An owl became our ring bearer. And Matt managed to capture the owl in flight coming down our aisle with our rings! Matt moves so quick to capture it all you’d think there was 5 of him taking photos! The evening was even more perfect. We had a rainy day for the wedding but was really wanting some outdoor photos so when I told Matt the rain had died down and we didn’t mind getting a bit wet he was ready and setting up his equipment outside leaving us in the dry until he was ready and WOW the photos are magical. Before Matt left he told us he was going to be on a plane the next day and we also got married just before Christmas so he said he would try his best to get us our sneak peek photos in a few days… well exactly 24 hrs later I get an email here are your sneaks peak photos! How Matt managed to do this so quick whilst being away on a plane and with his family just proved how much he cares. We got our photos today and Matt even gave us suggestions on when and where to watch the slideshow he prepared rather than just flipping through it. We relived our wedding this evening and it was incredible. I thought it couldn’t get more perfect but Matt truly outdone himself, Matt emailed a surprise to us. He was worried about not capturing the owl and missing it that he put up a secret little camera to film our ceremony so if he missed the owl we would have something to look back on. But now we have incredible photos of the moment and its on film too! Never doubt any of this man’s skills! Truly magic Matt is professional, friendly , kind and caring. He will be the best asset to your wedding. He is more than a photographer, he helped with so many things. He was always in the right place at the right time. Thank you so much Matt for capturing every small detail and moment from our day.

Matt is fantastic!!
Matt is fantastic!! We feel very lucky to have had him photograph our wedding! He is so relaxed and friendly, putting everyone at ease. We loved spending time with him on the day and all our guests commented how great he was on the day as well as how fantastic the photos are! The photos are perfect. He captured the day and the joy and laughter so so beautifully. He has a great technique for group photos and his drone shots are excellent too.

Lost for words
Lost for words! Matt captured the day beautifully, the photos are gorgeous and perfectly convey the feeling of the day. He was professional, friendly and unobtrusive, and yet managed to capture every little moment. Couldn’t ask for a better photographer and we couldn’t be more thrilled with our photos which we will cherish forever.

From the moment we spoke with Matt about our wedding photography we just knew he was the right fit for us. He's calm, professional and extremely talented. On our wedding day, Matt made us all feel calm and relaxed and even found fun little games for us to play during a walk so he could capture some excellent images of us. He is also fantastic with young children too, also making them feel at ease. We have sat and laughed and cried (happy tears!) our way through our gallery many times already. I

His passion
We booked Matt for our wedding in August 2024 and couldn't recommend him more highly. Not only was he super friendly and put us both instantly at ease, but his passion for his job and knowledge of his craft was evident. He helped out with so many bits on the day (including sorting the button holes for the groomsmen and some top tips on drying the bottoms of the flowers) and we have had so many of our guests comment on how great he was. Nothing felt too much trouble

Matt was fantastic
Matt was fantastic before, during, and after our wedding and managed to capture every single moment of our day! All the photos were amazing and very high quality, and were just what we had hoped! Would definitely recommend to any friends and family that may be getting married in the future!

We couldn’t agree more with the other reviews
We couldn’t agree more with the other reviews. We really had no idea what we were doing when we’re looking for a photographer. Going with Matt Trott was one of the best decisions we made for the wedding! We were over the moon with everything! The quality of the photography was excellent. The communication leading up to and after the wedding was spot on. But most of all it was just such a joy to have Matt at our wedding.

WOW - where to begin.
From day one of meeting with Matt, he was warm, kind, and obviously genuinely interested in our story as clients - we felt as though we had known him for ages! The build up to the wedding was made fun with his questionnaires getting to know us and exactly what we envisioned for our photographs. There is opportunity to choose who you want in which formal photos (if you want these at all!) and organises the order of these pre-wedding.

Thank you
We are so happy with our decision to choose Matt to be our wedding photographer. We clicked from the outset and quickly knew he would be perfect to work with. He is so well organised and structured in his approach that it made it very easy from our side. At the same time he is very personal and took the time to get to know us and our wants. On the day he made us feel so comfortable and relaxed and we had a lot of fun.

If we could give Matt Trott 6 out of 5 we would!
If we could give Matt Trott 6 out of 5 we would! We found Matt via his Instagram page and were immediately blown away by his portfolio and knew he was the one for us! Right from the first email, Matt’s energy and passion were infectious. He is a genuinely lovely person who made every part of the journey to our wedding day right up until we got the photos - completely magical.
