“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!
