Hi, I’m Matt. I’m a husband to my wife Natalia, a dog-dad to my burley boxer Rocky, a former Royal Marines Commando of ten years, an amateur (but highly committed) barista, keen triathlete and professional elopement and wedding photographer. I love exploring the great outdoors, curling up with a good book (and coffee), and eating millionaire shortbread like the world is about to end.

Matt was an absolute pleasure to work with

“Matt was an absolute pleasure to work with. He made us feel extremely at ease and in good hands from the start with his kind and welcoming manner. His organisation and prep was super impressive and took a weight off of our shoulders.
