Matt's Bio
"As a young boy, Matt showed an unusual interest in photography and in his parent's photo albums. His first yellow, underwater Minolta accompanied him everywhere. It was through that simple lens that he learned to capture the sublime beauty of nature.
Matt’s love and delight in his surroundings are evident in his work. He captures and reveals the expression and detail that is seldom evident to the naked eye. His images are alive with emotion and movement; he enters the world of that image and allows us a glimpse of his excitement, his humor, his soul.
His mentors, close friends, and travel opportunities have all influenced his approach to his work over the past 20 years. He is passionate about his photography and always has been. The love he has for his work, the people and places that he encounters along the way is apparent in the detail and perspective, in the stories he tells in his photographs.
I'm fortunate to work with 15 amazing couples a year at home in Jersey and on location in some of the most beautiful destinations around the world. Building a personal relationships and trust with my clients is a must before the wedding day, through a face to face consultation or on Skype, to truly understand my client's personality and vision for their wedding."
