Matthew Grainger Photography & Film Full Description
Documentary Wedding Photography My style is a mix of completely natural documentary photography throughout the day with some creative portraits of the bride and groom and fun, relaxed group shots. Quite simply, documentary photography for me is about telling a story. The story of your most special day from start to finish, with no awkward posing or interruption just pure real moments from the day. People say that you will never know the true value of a moment, until it becomes a memory and I truly believe that I help to preserve those memories by capturing each moment as it happens. Real moments, become real memories. Obviously when shooting in a documentary way, nothing is staged and I don’t interfere with moments as they happen BUT I still find I can be creative and shoot in my own way by using the light that is available and finding angles and viewpoints that make the most of subject I am photographing. Creative Portraits – When it comes to the shot’s of the bride and groom together, I take just a very brief period away from the rest of the the guests for some beautiful, unique portraits. Usually a short walk around the grounds of your venue is ideal, my approach is still very relaxed and you won’t be asked to pose awkwardly. So there it is… True documentary photography with some creative portraits of the bride and groom, it’s the perfect combination of story telling and natural but stunning portraiture.

Just had our photographs through and WOW
So pleased with our wedding photographs that Matthew has produced. Booking photography was very last minute for us. My partner didn't want to be photographed all day and feel awkward but a few months before the day we started to discuss if we would regret not having some professional photographs. On the day Matthew was very good at blending in and we didn't feel at all like he was in the way. Thank you so much, we are so happy that we did book a photographer and so happy that we found you!

LOVE our wedding film! PERFECT
Ahhhh what can I say?! I am absolutely so totally in love with our wedding film that I really can't put it into words. What you don't realise when planning a wedding is that afterwards all you will have are the memories of the day and our wedding film lets us re live those moments perfectly. I've probably watched it well over 100 times in a month and I still cry each time.

A professional with a personable ethos
Choosing a photographer was not something we took easily, my wife and I wanted not only beautiful memories from our day but also to feeel comfortable throughout, when we met Matt he had this personable attitude that wa endearing and put us instantly at ease, however at no point did it feel in-professional either. You can telll through his persona the love he has for his work and we are forever greatful that we invited him to share in our day. Not only do we no have incredible photographic memories but also a friend for life, we cannot thank him Enough, Gavin & El. Xxx

Words can't express how happy we are
Matt didn't just capture the wedding day perfectly, he became part of the wedding day and a friend. The best decision we made was booking him for our wedding photography. Not only is he an absolute wizard when it comes to photography, he is just lovely and made a real difference to our day. Seriously if you haven't yet booked a photographer for your wedding then I'd get in touch ASAP and hope that Matt is still available!

Such beautiful memories from our perfect wedding
We are both totally in love with our wedding photographs. Matthew was THE best on the day and even helped Andrew keep calm in the morning. The day goes so quickly and afterwards it’s hard to remember everything. The photographs we have from the day are memories that we will cherish and we have been able to relive the day. Forever grateful for your hard work!

Amazing Wedding Photographer
I was a guest at a recent wedding in which Matthew was the photographer and I have to say the photos have turned out amazing! Matt was great and made the bride, groom and all of the guests including myself very relaxed knowing there was not going to be any awkward posed photographs. We were very grateful for this as we were all at ease and it allowed everyone to really relax and enjoy the day. Totally recommend Matt if you want natural photographs and a relaxed atmosphere at your wedding. Thank you Matt for making my friends wedding day a day to remember!

Wedding Umbrellas and positive attitude. Some of my favourite weddings have been in the rain and bad weather can actually help to create some stunning photographs!
