You’ll spend months planning your wedding and then, somehow, it will fly by. I’m there for the moments you saw, the ones you missed and all the brilliant bits nobody could have planned.
I’m Matthew, a documentary wedding photographer in West London. I capture your day as it unfolds so when you look back, you’ll remember not only how it looked, but exactly how it felt.
Documentary wedding photography means photographing the day as it unfolds rather than constantly directing it. I watch, anticipate and capture what’s genuinely happening, without turning your wedding into a photoshoot. I’ll still offer guidance when it helps and make time for some brilliant portraits.
However, documentary doesn’t mean refusing to take a group photograph! We’ll plan the important family combinations beforehand and keep them relaxed and efficient. We’ll also spend a little time creating natural couple portraits, without keeping you away from your guests for hours.
I’m based in Ealing, West London, and photograph weddings throughout London and across the UK. Ealing and West London are home, but I’m always happy to travel for a good wedding - just tell me where you’re planning yours.
I regularly photograph weddings at venues across Ealing and West London, including Ealing Abbey, Pitzhanger Manor, The Brentham Club, St Michael & All Angels in Bedford Park and Chiswick House.
Knowing the local venues is always helpful, but every wedding brings something completely different.
Yes. My half-day package includes up to four hours of photography and works particularly well for smaller weddings, registry-office ceremonies and more intimate celebrations. If you aren’t sure how much coverage you’ll need, tell me what you’re planning and I’ll help you choose.
I’ve been photographing weddings full-time since 2012 and have now photographed more than 450 of them. I’m also a member of the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers and the British Institute of Professional Photography.
Absolutely. Although I’m based in Ealing and photograph many weddings across West London, I travel throughout London and the UK. If my documentary style feels right for your wedding, I’d love to hear where you’re planning it.
