About

I am originally from Florida but now based permanently in the UK having followed in the footsteps of my grandpa by marrying a 'British gal'! I live in Sheffield with my wife, daughter, son and dog George.  I have worked in photography for about 6 years and specialise in wedding and portrait photography. My business has predominantly grown through word of mouth and recommendations, and I have quickly become one of Sheffield's more established photographers.

My aim is always to prioritise clients' needs and to make the experience as relaxing and fun as possible. My friendly manner helps put clients at ease which makes for better photography. Here's what some of my clients have said about my work:

Thank you so much for our wedding photos. We love them and so do all our family and friends. Also, so many have commented on how relaxed you made people feel which is great, especially with the kids, because the photos show people as they really are. I've loved sharing them and will enjoy looking at them for many years to come. - Rebekah & Alex Basran, Sheffield

Not only are we thrilled with the photos, we are also so grateful for the manner and atmosphere you engendered on the day. We had many comments complimenting you on the unobtrusive and relaxed way in which you fulfilled your role. Many, many thanks once again. - David Power, Leeds

We chose Matt to do our wedding photography because his work looked like just what we wanted and unconventional! Matt was a pleasure to work with, from the initial contact and quote, right through to our wedding day.  Matt was friendly and polite and a fantastic photographer!- Pagon & Kenneth Lee, Newcastle

Thank you for taking really beautiful, romantic, in-the-rain pictures on our wedding day. We are so happy with them!

And thank you to your wife and very cute little girl for letting you come all the way to Belgium for this occasion. Thank you for making our wonderful day last! :)- Sara & Siegfried Jaeken, Belgium

I just wanted to say thank you again for making our day so special. From calming me down, fetching fans & pouring me (nerve settling) champagne, to bringing the umbrellas and arranging rainbows!

Everyone said how warm you were – and this came though on the photographs, which exceeded all our expectations. I have had so many positive comments. I think you really captured the essence of the day. We didn’t want stuffy formal photographs and you took the most beautiful, candid and natural shots of all the guests.

The picture that caused the biggest reaction was the black and white one of our young page boy, Lucas, in his suit, holding his grandma’s hand. It really is stunning. I really appreciate you being our photographer Matt, as you know. I will be sure to recommend you in the future. Thanks again.- Jane & Dave Ritson, Sheffield

Matt's photography epitomises 'professional meets personal'. Not only did we enjoy having Matt around on the day, but our pictures are stunning beyond any of our expectations. We love them! -Will and Caroline Eadson, Sheffield

Matt's eye for a good shot coupled with his ability to put people at ease meant that he was able to get a great selection of photos which really captured the mood of the day and which have been applauded by everyone we've shown them to. We were really pleased with the balance of formal and informal; we especially liked the photos he took of people who were not aware that the camera was pointing at them. - Rob and Abi Ireson, Sheffield

Matt is an entirely professional photographer and a really great guy... He wasn't intrusive at all, and created the shots that we most wanted.  His style is fresh and modern, and is great if you're looking for something a little different from the monotony of normal wedding photos.  The pictures were beautiful and a great memento of our wedding. We highly recommend Matt.- Martin and Val Roberts, Sheffield

Out of a number of photographers that we initially contacted, only Matt was prepared to be completely flexible and accommodate our requirements and budget. We really appreciated Matt's informal, yet professional approach to his photography. He made us feel very relaxed, and as a result we got a fantastic selection of photographs providing us with a superb memento of our day. - Jo and Steve Gardner, Sheffield

Matt’s personality and care was brilliant. When we met up for the first time, he gave us so much friendly advice, not just about photography but about the whole wedding time. He was fantastic for us and we’ve been recommending him to many people since we got our wedding shots back. A few people have said they didn’t even notice him at the wedding (except when up the ladder taking a whole group shot). The shots themselves are beautiful and varied, he captured so many lovely moments on top of the ones you’d expect. Go for Matt!!- Ben and Judith Murphy, Sheffield

We use Matt for all our events and photo shoots. The quality of the shots Matt gets are always amazing. He is a pleasure to work with, has great energy and is incredibly reliable. I could not recommend him highly enough!- James Sheehan, Castle Black Belt Academy, Sheffield
