Such a gentleman and so easy to get along with!

Visions of View - Matt, we really don’t know where to start! The day we met you for the first time Lee and I both knew almost straight away that we’d met our photographer, you are such a gentleman and so easy to get along with! Your work speaks for itself, your portrait work is phenomenal but your candid shots are just as incredible! You made the day such fun and everyone said how lovely you were! You totally captured the essence of our day! Wish we could do it all again!

Matt made us feel so comfortable and made it fun.

We are SO happy with our photos and would 100% recommend Matt to anyone getting married. We aren't people that enjoy posing for photos but Matt made us feel so comfortable and made it fun. All our guests commented how friendly he is, he felt like a wedding guest and was so lovely to be around. Thank you Matt for bringing the good vibes and for your amazing work!

The best you’ll find.

What can I say. Matt is the most amazing man. He’s patient and so flexible. Thanks to covid and other issues we had to jiggle dates and got married on the 3rd one. Matt was able to still be our photographer. Over the years we’ve become friends but I’m sure that any bride will feel as comfortable as I did with Matt there. From the second he arrived with us girls getting ready he blended in, got stuck in with helping us all and I never felt like I had a camera stuck in my face. I chose him initially because of his talent but having a husband that hates photos our “posed” were extremely limited but he made sure we got some. Matt’s personality soon shone through and that meant everything. Throughout the day I had no idea where he was until someone was asking for him and he was there in a split second. My only downside to the day was that I didn’t manage to get him on the dance floor …. Matt I owe you one! Dad dancing at the ready lol. I literally can’t say enough to show you what an amazing choice Visions of View is but when I said I wouldn’t want anyone else by my side as I got married he became my Mat’ographer of honour. A million thank yous will never express what it was having Matt there for the day and my guests all commented on how wonderful he was too.

Recommend 1000%

Would recommend Matthew Harrison 1000%. He was an absolute star throughout the whole of not only our wedding but the before and after too. He made the process so easy, we had a lovely sit down with him (our wedding was pre-pandemic in 2019) and a chat through his previous photos at our venue, through our expectations and what we loved about his style and he took the time to make sure he fulfilled every promise. The photos we received were more than we ever expected and we absolutely love every single one. He captured some beautiful images, not only of my husband Alex and I, but of our guests, which we will treasure forever. We are both over the moon with the service we received and the photos are absolutely stunning. Thank you so much Matt, this is a long over due review but one I standby 1000% per cent. We could not recommend you more!

Amazing wedding photographer

I would not hesitate to recommend Visions of View. Our wedding was in lockdown and our booking was made at very short notice. Matt was extremely accommodating and made the whole process so simple for us. I am camera shy and was apprehensive about having photographs taken. I need not have worried, Matt put us both at ease with his warm personality and clear instructions. He is really great at his job, and knows how to set up the perfect image without any fuss. He works very hard and genuinely cares about the result. Our photographs are beautiful. The traditional posed images and the more relaxed reportage style images seen together capture the emotions of our day so perfectly. Thank you Visions of View for giving me some very precious memories.

Captured Our Day

Matt was pleasant to work with and never felt intrusive, whilst still capturing many of the key moments of our wedding. We enjoyed looking back over the photographs and felt that it captured the spirit of our special day. I wish we had space in our flat to display all our favourite photos but it would take up too much space!

Photos that are just pure magic!

There’s not enough words in the world to tell you how wonderful Matt is. From the moment my partner and I met him we knew he was the photographer for us. With his outgoing personality along with his professionalism he puts you at ease and makes you feel extremely comfortable. He captured our wedding on the 10th August 2018 at Gosfield Hall. I must say he was very patient with me, I had a very long list of photographs that I wanted to be taken and nothing was too much trouble. He was here there and everywhere. Very friendly, very accommodating and a bloody fantastic photographer. We’ve had a sneak peak at a few pictures and can’t wait to see the rest. Thanks so much Matt, I will definitely be recommending your services to future couples.x

Fabulous and professional wedding photographer!

Matthew was the perfect photographer for our wedding day. He was professional yet approachable, unobtrusive but certainly very skilful - everyone has been so impressed with the fantastic photos of our wonderful day. He did exactly what we asked for, managing to capture the happiness of the day from start to finish, without us hardly even knowing he was there! We now have such amazing, natural photos to remind us of the best day ever! Thank you so much, Matthew.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

The most memorable weddings are the ones where I capture raw emotions and genuine connections between the couple and their loved ones. Each wedding has its own unique story to tell.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Emotive, Relaxed, Atmospheric, Inspiring, Timeless.

What about your business are you most proud of?

I'm incredibly proud of my photography business and the journey it's been over the last 20+ years. What truly warms my heart is that over 50% of my clients come through referrals. Knowing that people have seen my work and loved it enough to recommend me to others means the world. It's a testament to the trust and connections I've built with my clients. It is an absolute privilege to witness so many beautiful once in a lifetime moments......I'm honoured to be a trusted supplier at four renowned Essex wedding venues, a testament to my reputation for quality and professionalism.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

One of the most common regrets I hear from couples after their wedding is that they tried too hard to please everyone else. Your wedding day is your special day. Don't feel pressured to conform to expectations or traditions that don't feel authentic to you. Focus on creating a celebration that reflects your love story and makes you both happy. Remember, it's about you and your partner, not your guests.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

One of my favorite personal touches I've seen at a wedding was the use of personalized placeholders for the wedding breakfast. Each guest had a photo of themselves placed at their seat, chosen by the couple. It was a clever way to add a touch of nostalgia and make each guest feel special and included. It also showed the couple's attention to detail and their desire to create a memorable experience for everyone.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

I’m dedicated to making the wedding photography experience as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. I offer a variety of customisable packages to suit different needs and budgets. However, I’m also happy to create a bespoke package tailored to your specific vision. I typically start with an initial consultation, either in person or via Zoom, to get to know you and understand your unique requirements. This is a great opportunity to discuss your preferences, ask questions, and see if our styles align. I’m always available to answer questions, offer advice, and provide guidance throughout the planning process. My priority is to ensure that you feel confident and excited about your wedding day photography. My booking process is straightforward. Once you're happy with the package, a deposit is required. I'll need some basic information to set you up on my client system, which will then generate our contract. Once you've signed the contract electronically, you'll find details on how to pay the deposit. The remaining balance is due one month before your wedding. It's all very simple and easy.

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

As a photographer specialising in nighttime portraits, I believe that every couple should capture a stunning night shot. These photos not only look amazing but also capture the ethereal beauty and timeless magic of a wedding evening. It’s a keepsake that will forever remind you of the love, joy, and unforgettable moments shared on your special day.

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

I’m constantly asked to create original night shots as my couples adore my signature style. These are the photos they choose to print and hang as they are true pieces of art!

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Embrace the rain, you can't change it after all! Rainy wedding days can be incredibly romantic and atmospheric. Don't let a little drizzle dampen your spirits. Consider taking advantage of the unique opportunities that rainy weather can offer. You can create stunning indoor portraits, capture the cozy ambiance of your venue, or even venture out for a romantic stroll in the rain. Remember, some of the most beautiful wedding photos are taken in unexpected conditions. So, put on your rain boots, grab your umbrellas, and let the rain add a touch of magic to your special day.

Describe how you got into photography.

I developed a passion for photography during my Art & Design studies in college. Over time, I obtained multiple photography qualifications. However, I've learned that in this field, my portfolio speaks volumes over any certification. Most of my work comes from customer referrals, positive word-of-mouth, and showcasing my photographs. Traveling the world extensively has shown me its natural beauty and diverse cultures. It reminds me of how lucky I am and the need for hard work to maintain it. I've honed my photography and post-production skills to an excellent standard, through dedication and practice. Continuously learning new techniques through courses and training keeps me striving to make them even stronger. I LOVE MY 'JOB'!!
