Matthew Grainger Photography & Film Full Description
Documentary Wedding Photography My style is a mix of completely natural documentary photography throughout the day with some creative portraits of the bride and groom and fun, relaxed group shots. Quite simply, documentary photography for me is about telling a story. The story of your most special day from start to finish, with no awkward posing or interruption just pure real moments from the day. People say that you will never know the true value of a moment, until it becomes a memory and I truly believe that I help to preserve those memories by capturing each moment as it happens. Real moments, become real memories. Obviously when shooting in a documentary way, nothing is staged and I don’t interfere with moments as they happen BUT I still find I can be creative and shoot in my own way by using the light that is available and finding angles and viewpoints that make the most of subject I am photographing. Creative Portraits – When it comes to the shot’s of the bride and groom together, I take just a very brief period away from the rest of the the guests for some beautiful, unique portraits. Usually a short walk around the grounds of your venue is ideal, my approach is still very relaxed and you won’t be asked to pose awkwardly. So there it is… True documentary photography with some creative portraits of the bride and groom, it’s the perfect combination of story telling and natural but stunning portraiture.

Just had our photographs through and WOW
So pleased with our wedding photographs that Matthew has produced. Booking photography was very last minute for us. My partner didn't want to be photographed all day and feel awkward but a few months before the day we started to discuss if we would regret not having some professional photographs. On the day Matthew was very good at blending in and we didn't feel at all like he was in the way. Thank you so much, we are so happy that we did book a photographer and so happy that we found you!

Fantastic photographer!
Worked with Matt a lot over the past few years and we would highly recommend. All of the couples we have worked with together have loved the photographs and we have been luckily enough to be able to use some of the images too, we love them!

More of a friend than a photographer!
Matt came highly recommended to us by our wedding venue so we decided to get in touch shortly after booking the venue as good wedding photography was something that we are both very keen on. After meeting Matthew at his studio we wanted to book straight away, his previous work showed exactly the kind of images that we had in mind and we loved his whole approach. On the wedding day Matthew arrived early and became part of the morning with me and the bridesmaids, it was a great help and he made the morning run very smoothly just by being there and offering little words of advice. Through the rest of the wedding we didn't see him a lot as he seems to be able to go around without being noticed and this was great as we didn't want to feel on edge all day. We have had a beautiful preview of photographs through already and LOVE them so so much, our family have all commented on them and we are all so excited to see the rest. Thank you so much! We are really happy that you photographed the wedding and will recommend you to EVERYONE!

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

Follow your heart and remember it's your wedding.

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Wedding Umbrellas and positive attitude. Some of my favourite weddings have been in the rain and bad weather can actually help to create some stunning photographs!

Describe how you got into photography.

Photography started for me as a hobby, for years I photographed landscapes and animals just for enjoyment but I soon realised that photography was something I wanted to do more seriously.
