“beautiful colour and timeless Black & White”
* You can have both *
Matt explains his decision to offer both formats as standard, since January 2023 and why he’s never looked back…

“Matt was one of the first people we contacted when planning our wedding and he was so helpful and friendly when we had issues with our venue. He was so easy to talk to about what we wanted, helping us decide what to book.
On the day he was really good at helping us get some really lovely shots- they show the whole day and everyone that was there so well! Loads of our guests have said how friendly he was- very happy with everything!”
Let me go back to July 2022 when I was about to trial a new wedding service that I planned to offer to my couples in the future. A service that would involve more editing and ultimately a lot more time spent behind the scenes with every wedding I shoot. My main goal was to offer an extra service that I hoped would be a welcome improvement to my current wedding business. So for the remainder of 2022 I started to surprise my couples and hoped this would be a welcome bonus when they received their new online wedding gallery.
It turns out that every couple really liked the fact they could choose which format they prefered to print out and hang on the wall. Result!!
With 100% positive feedback I received from July to December 2022 I just had to change how I did things and commit to offering this service as standard - so it was in January 2023 that I started to supply - at no extra cost - all of your finished, ready to print wedding photos in beautiful colour and timeless Black & White formats.
No you are more in control of how you show off your wedding photos.

“Matt was great to have as our photographer - we love the candid approach! He was very easy to work with, he took all the pictures we wanted and was great at getting shots of friends & family, the pictures turned out great and we couldn't be happier. We received loads of great quality pictures, and what's more he's fun to have around on the day!”
Making black & white images from colour ones isn’t just a case of clicking a button and making it a boring greyscale image - nobody wants that in their lives, or on their walls; washed out colour photos with no heart and sole.
In fact it’s a whole new process that involves looking more carefully at the highlights, shadows meaning a lot more work behind the scenes to get the black and white photos to look like a timeless moment at your wedding that you’d be proud to hang on the wall.
You can probably see from my website that I love black and white photos but I noticed I was finishing more and more photos this way and neglecting the colour ones a bit.
As my wife started to point out to me; most couples would probably choose colour over black and white if they had only one choice, so offering both up front meant I could satisfy my black and white obsession whilst also giving you what you want.
This also had another benefit which I hadn’t even considered when making this change; it meant that designing a wedding album would be a lot more straight forward when swapping black and white pages to colour ones, as they are already in the gallery and I can swap them with ease.
Here are some more beautiful examples; created in beautiful colour and timeless black & white photographs.

“Matt was fantastic photographing our wedding, from the start to finish. The photo's he captured for us were a joy to behold. He was wonderful on the day expertly capturing some wonderfully candid shots and everything else. His positioning was so perfect that we didn't even know he was there during the big moments, allowing us to just focus on the day. It was a pleasure to have Matt as part of our big day and we would fully recommend him. Thank you Matt!!!”
