Ana and Sam's Wedding at Reach Court Farm

Ana and Sam held their wedding at Reach Court Farm, situated in St. Margaret's.

Due to the heavy rain, these guys had an intimate indoor service, with plenty of happy tears being captured, as they read their personalised vows and a letter was read out, written by Ana’s late Grandfather.

Following the service, these guys went off for a drive in a vintage VW Campervan, whilst guests enjoyed the saxphone music.

After the wedding breakfast, the rain stopped allowing for confetti, which was was followed by an absolute epic golden hour.

Here are a few of my favourite moments from the day!

Alice and Kerry's Twilight Wedding in Deal

Alice and Kerry held their wedding celebrations in the town of Deal situated along the Kent coast.

This awesome duo held their relaxed ceremony at Deal Town Hall, which was followed by a drinks reception at the venue.

Following oysters and champagne, the couple and their guests walked along the seafront and down the pier to the Deal Pier Kitchen.

Following some epic speeches and a couple of nightime portraits, the party got started!

Here are a few of my favourite moments from the afternoon:

Jess and Ant's Wedding at Judd's Folly

This epic couple held their wedding at Judd’s Folly situated in Faversham, Kent.

Despite non stop rain in the week leading up to the big day, the sky remained clear, allowing these two to hold their service outside in front of miles of meadows surrounding Faversham.

This day was full of laughter and fun and following the wedding breakfast, these guys had an epic line-up of speeches. Particular note should be given to the bridesmaids (who, like the bride, are nurses), with lock-down inspired pan banging and wrapping Ant up in bandages (as he is constantly breaking different bones, most recently during a dance off on his stag do!).

Following the speeches, we sneaked off some relaxed couple photos near the meadows, which was followed by an awesome first dance. After this, the party really got going!

“What a photographer!!!

We had Matt capture our wedding, he is faultless! Very welcoming and easy to get along with. He goes the extra mile to ensure that you will get the best photos possible, showed up to our venue early, just to scope the area for the best possible locations for photos, which made the whole experience run smoothly.

Matt will disappear into the background, making you forget that you even have a photographer there, from doing this he captures incredible photos that you don’t even realise are being taken.

I would highly recommend Matt to anyone that is looking for a photographer for their wedding!”

— Ant Mitchell

Chloe and Lloyd's Twilight Wedding at the Barnyard

Chloe and Lloyd held their twilight wedding at the end of the summer at the Barnyard, situated near Sittingbourne.

The weather was absolutely perfect, with Chloe arriving just as the sun started to set over the Kent Downs. Following an emotional outdoor service and a handful of group shots, I took this awesome duo off to catch the last moments of sunlight in the orchard surrounding the venue.

After this, the party got going, with some hilarious and heart felt speeches, followed by an evening buffet.

Here are a few of my favourite moments from the afternoon.

Katie and Tolis' Greek Wedding in Deal

Katie and Tolis held their wedding service at the Greek Orthodox Church of the Archangel Michael in Margate, Kent. This is truly the most beautiful church I’ve had the pleasure of photographing and this awesome duo initially held a legal ceremony followed by a Greek religious service.

Following the service, Katie and Tolis and their guests jumped onto a bus and travelled to The Coach, situated on the outskirts of Deal, Kent.

Following confetti and a Greek inspired buffet, myself and Jack to Jack Media took these guys off in the car to a nearby spot for the last 20 mins of sunlight, to capture some relaxed portraits.

Once we got back, the party really got started, with Greek dancing immediately following the first dance.

Here are a few of my favourite moments from this amazing afternoon:

Joe and Amy's Wedding at Howfield Manor

For me, this was not a typical wedding! The groom is one of my oldest good friends and when he asked me to cover his big day, I was filled with equal amounts of excitement and anxiety!

It was an absolutely amazing day to cover, held at Howfield Manor on the outskirts of Chartham, Canterbury, and my pre-wedding nerves soon went away.

The sun was beaming all day, which was perfect for the outdoor service in front of the meadows surrounding the River Stour. This beautiful late summer light continued through to the evening, when I sneaked Amy and Joe away to a nearby spot I knew about (I grew up in Chartham and I used to use this route for late night walks home from Canterbury!) for some relaxed golden hour portraits.

Here are a few of my favourite moments from the day!

Eilish and Joe's Wedding at Solomans Estate

Eilish and Joe held their wonderful wedding at the Solomans Estate, situated in Tunbridge Wells, Kent.

Following an emotional service and some formal group shots, everyone headed over to Solomans to enjoy a drinks reception in the sun, before the wedding breakfast.

After some enjoyable speeches, myself and the videographer managed to sneak these guys out to catch the last few minutes of sun for some relaxed and natural portraits.

‘Matt we are speechless!!! We have had the most amazing evening looking through them all we are SO happy!! We can’t thank you enough, you captured everything so perfectly, they are absolutely amazing!’

Here are a few of my favourite moments from this day:

Jade and Danielle's Wedding at the Crown Inn at Finglesham

Jade and Danielle held their summer wedding at the Crown Inn in Finglesham, situated near Deal, Kent.

I was absolutely buzzing to capture this day, having worked with Jade and her sister on a number of weddings in the past (Jade is a bridal hair dresser and her sister a MUA)! I knew this would be a fun day to cover and it really didn’t disappoint!

The service was filled with a lot of emotion, with the sun appearing just before Danielle walked down the aisle! Following this beautiful service, guests enjoyed the weather, followed by a set from a steel pan band.

Following the wedding breakfast and speeches, I sneaked these guys off for some relaxed portraits in a nearby location, returning in time for the first dance and start of the party.

Here are a few of my favourite moments from this great day:

Hannah and Tom's Relaxed Summer Wedding at the Secret Gardens

Hannah and Tom held their special day at the Secret Gardens, one of my favourite venues situated in Ashford.

This wedding quite literally had it all; heavy rain, beaming sun, colourful rainbows and an England victory in a penalty shoot-out!

The day started with rain, leading to these guys making the decision to hold the wedding within the Chapel, although the summer sun quickly returned to allow for guests to enjoy the garden games.

Following some epic speeches, the weather remained dry long enough to allow for some relaxed and natural portraits around the venue’s gardens.

Later into the evening, the decision was made to delay the first dance to allow for guests to huddle around mobile phones and tablets to watch England win a penalty shoot-out, leading to progression to the semi-finals in Euro 2024.

To wrap up the perfect day, the sun returned just long enough for some golden hour photos of this awesome duo.

Here are a few of my favourite moments from the day:

Within the grounds of the house, Grace and Alex held a mixed Catholic-Jewish service surrounded by their friends and family. This was followed by guests enjoying drinks in the gardens, whilst myself and the videographer sneaked the couple off for some quick and relaxed portraits.

Despite the threat of rain, and the forecast changing by the minute, the weather stayed dry for an outdoor service and we even had a bit of sun for some relaxed golden hour portraits towards the end of the day.

Once the sunset, everyone got the dancefloor with The Redfords performing some classics!

Here are a few of my favourite moments from this amazing day:

Charlie and Kate's 2-day wedding celebration in Deal

Charlie and Kate’s amazing wedding spanned over 2-days covering some stunning venues in Deal, Kent.

On the first day, Kate and her closest family and friends got ready at the farmhouse at Updown Farm, situated on the outskirts of town. Once ready, these guys travelled into Deal, where Kate and Charlie wed at the Town Hall. The service was emotional and incredibly intimate, with only closest family and friends in attendance.

This awesome duo and their guests braved the early spring wind to go down to the beach to enjoy a glass of champagne, whilst I sneaked the couple off for some relaxed portraits.

Following this, we headed by to Updown Farm, where everyone enjoyed the gardens followed by a meal in this stunning restraunt.

For day two, I teamed up with Jack to Jack Media to cover Charlie and Kate’s larger celebration at the Lantern Inn, situated between Deal and Dover. They had an emotional ceremony, witnessed by wider family and friends, with the couple’s mums acting as the celebrants.

The marquee held up, despite the wind, and these guys enjoyed an amazing meal with speeches scheduled throughout the afternoon.

You hardly knew he was there and was all round such a lovely guy. We have so much to thank him for, especially for recommending Tyler, our Videographer. Thank you Matt for capturing our special day.”

— Lauren Woodrow

Hayley and Chris' Spring Wedding at Winters Barns

Hayley and Chris held their wedding in late March at Winters Barns, situated just outside of Canterbury, Kent.

These guys are absolutely lovely and their day was full of equal measures of emotion, love and laughter.

Despite the rain holding off, they did need to contend with heavy winds, meaning they held their service within the main barn. But, the sun did come out just in time for their confetti and formal group shots outside the iconic barn doors.

The wedding breakfast was full of laughter and fun, with Spencer Wood Magic keeping guests entertained alongside some great speeches.

Between courses, the sun started to set, providing an amazing golden hour moment. Myself and the videographer, Mike Pelling whizzed them outside for some relaxed sunset portraits.

“Matt photographed an engagement shoot and our wedding day for us and we couldn’t be happier with the photos. He listened to all of our requests and important details and these are reflected in all of our photos. On the wedding day he made us feel super comfortable and we didn’t realise he was there much of the time! Has always kept in contact through out the build up to the wedding day and we would highly recommend him - thanks Matt :)”

— Hayley Bryant

Following the wedding breakfast, Harrison, his best men and Paige’s dad did a trio of amazing speeches, which was full of laughter, tears and emotion. The biggest surprise was to follow with two of the waiters bursting into song, getting everyone up on their feet, especially Harrison who did his own version of the Dirty Dancing lift!

As the evening rolled in and the dancefloor started to get packed, I sneaked these two off for some night time portraits.

Here are a few of my favourite moments from this amazing day!

“We had a great experience with Matt. He helped keep everything stress and hassle free for us in the lead up to the wedding and on the day. He was a great person to have around on the day and did a great job of fading into the background and keeping everyone comfortable. The personal touches of remembering my grandparents names was really notable on the day. The photos we received were amazing - with lots of people commenting that there were too many great ones to choose from that they had to buy more frames! We have recommended Matt to all of our friends and one guest has already booked him for their upcoming wedding.”

— Paige Harrison

Sam and Andy's Wedding at Reach Court Farm

Chloe and Matt's Wedding at the Hythe Imperial Hotel

On the hottest day of the year, Chloe and Matt held their wedding at the Hythe Imperial Hotel.

This was truly a stunning day; being literally a few footsteps away from the beach, there was a gentle sea breeze and despite the cloudless sky. there was a slight haziness to the light throughout the day.

Holding their service in the outside gardens, these guys had a day full of laughter, (happy) tears and lots of love! This was foremost shown during the speeches, particularly during Matt’s announcement regarding the forthcoming arrival a little one!

To make the day absolutely perfect, these guys had probably the best sunset of the year for some relaxed golden hour portraits.
