From the first e-mail I knew we had found the right photographer for our family shoot. So professional, interactive and friendly - wow if somebody put that much effort into their initial contact, what was their work going to be like?

We'd not had any professional photos of our new baby girl taken due to COVID so when the opportunity came to have some family photos, we booked Matt straight away.

The morning with our 4-month baby will be one we never forget. I am so grateful Matt discussed shooting it alongside video as well - it brought the shoot to life and we watched it with tears in our eyes. What a memory to have.

Matt captured everything we asked for - a moment in our life that was so precious and at my request very intimate (breastfeeding my baby) and I can't wait to show and talk to our little girl about the photos/video when she is older (& interested!) - all of them have something that sparks a "oh do you remember" moment for us. I didn't hesitate to book a second shoot.

Book Matt, you will not be disappointed - he listens, makes you feel so at ease not to mention his wonderful skill at taking the perfect photo.

Matt was absolutely amazing! Firstly, he was incredibly flexible during such a stressful time planning a wedding, providing different quotes for different dates and plans - he made life so easy for us. Secondly, Matt was wonderful on the day - not too intrusive, but still capturing every special moment. Matt is also such a lovely guy and is clearly so passionate about his job and making couples happy. Lastly, the photos Matt produced were perfect, we could not be happier with them. He produced some absolutely amazing photos with light and made us see our venue from a whole new perspective. Everyone who's seen our photos could not have loved them more. Matt is going to photograph our reception later this year (hopefully!) and we cannot wait for more beautiful pictures to remember our special day. Thank you for everything, Matt - we cannot recommend you highly enough!

Matt was probably the best thing that happened to our wedding! He spoke to us many times before the big day so he could really understand what we wanted, then he made it come to life. It was an anxious time and Covid had caused so much stress and uncertainty, but he spent a lot of time being supportive and helping us with contingencies. When he arrived on the morning, it was like seeing our friend again. He made us feel at ease and all our shots were natural and beautiful. He did everything possible to make sure we were happy and even stayed back to ensure we had the perfect shot that I had been dying for. Every single person at the wedding commented on how lovely and professional he was and his photos were so beautiful, they brought us all to tears. Its rare you can find someone who is so kind and supportive, but who is also an amazing talent. The most down to earth, talented person we have ever worked with. Thank you Matt!!

Booking Matt for our wedding photography was one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding. Not only was he an absolute gem to work with in the lead up and afterwards, on the day he was the perfect mix of firm (so you get all the photos you ask for despite the best intentions of wayward guests) and chill so that we look relaxed and happy in all our photos. Matt took the time to talk to us and really understand what we wanted and also made a lot of good suggestions for things that we hadn't thought about. We really wanted 'documentary style' shots and absolutely achieved that for us. Perhaps most impressive was the fact that I don't remember seeing him take any of them! He was so good at just blending in so that every shot was completely natural and captured many personal moments.

We also love how creative he is with his photography and love our rainbow long exposure couple photo that is completely unique from traditional wedding images. Matt also did a fantastic job of putting the album together which meant that we barely had to do any work to it. Finally we loved 'e-Matt', it was efficient and meant that we could book things really easily and knew exactly where we were with all the documents.

If you've found Matt and he's available for your date I'd say lock him down now. If I had other events in the future there is no one else I would rather have in charge of the photography.

Matt is an insanely talented photographer and a lovely guy. We had a family shoot a few weeks ago and he made us all feel so comfortable. The thing I love most about Matts style is he captures the regular moments and makes them beautiful. My children were just able to play and do what they wanted with no direction or being forced to pose. When I look at the photos I see my family exactly how it is, the stories Matt is able to capture through his work is incredible.

Hands down the best and most amazing photographer! From start to finish, Matt was great in talking us through the process and getting ideas of what we wanted captured on our big day. Because of Covid, we only got to meet via Zoom until our wedding day, but when he arrived to start snapping away, it was like we'd known him for ages. He and his team are friendly and professional; when taking pictures you would never have known they were there, but when you did they smiled and laughed with you the whole day through.

The photos are absolutely incredible and they captured everything we wanted! They're beautiful and captivating, and show our day in the best possible way!

I would not hesitate to recommend Matt to everyone, and in fact I will: book him! You will not regret it at all!!

Thank you so much Matt Trott Photography! We had a family photo session with Matt and it was a great experience. All of us are a bit self-conscious in front of the camera and Matt put us at ease, made us laugh and made us forget we were having a photoshoot! Also, he was brilliant with my three year old son, who thought this was all a game and now thinks that Matt is his new best friend!

Matt Trott was attentive to all my concerns and queries before the session; helped to give advice about particular shots and effects that might suit our family; had the perfect balance of making us laugh and keeping the pace of the shoot going and the end results are stunning! We have a wonderful collection of photos to treasure and look back on with pride and love. Thank you again and if you’re reading this review then book Matt, you won’t regret it!

Almost can't put into words how amazing Matt was! He went completely above and beyond on our wedding day, and was so much more than I ever expected from a wedding photographer. Many of our guests commented on how lovely he was, and what a great job he was doing. A truly lovely man, and am so so glad we picked him to capture our special day. The pictures are more than I could've ever wanted, absolutely beautiful photos! From first contact to all the way through to the end, Matt was nothing but very friendly and welcoming, professional and very accommodating. Highly recommend and would definitely use Matt again in the future.

I’ve taken some time to write our review for the amazing Matt, mainly because every time I think of our special day and the photos Matt captured, I well up with happy tears!!
Matt is the most friendly, personable and kind person we’ve met along our wedding journey. Even from our very first virtual meeting, Matt made such an effort to get to known us as a couple and our style of photography. The communication throughout the process was quick and efficient. I came across Matt’s work on Hitched, and knew his relaxed and informal style of wedding photography was just for us! He got back to us straight away with a quote and the offer of a meeting.
Matt had never shot at our venue before, so he happily made the journey from Kent to Essex to visit a few weeks before the wedding. This meant the day flowed super smoothly, because he already knew the best places to shoot, so we could spend as much time with our nearest and dearest.
Throughout the day, Matt was friendly, approachable and mingled with our guests perfectly! So many guests complimented him on his work style and general attitude.
He suggested a wedding timeline and kept us to it, so we managed to get all the photos we wanted and not be away from our guests for too long.
Then… just 3 weeks after our amazing day, Matt sent through our wedding gallery…. WOW just WOW! We are over the moon with how he captured our day; relaxed, natural and not staged. We could not have asked for anything better, thank you so much Matt for helping us capture our special day, so we can continue to relive for many years to come.
Our gallery is timeless, easy to access and share with guests, and simply put…. Incredible!

We were incredibly lucky to have Matt be the photographer for our wedding, we loved his work and when we found out he was available to photograph our wedding we were so excited. Matt made the whole process super easy and was great at answering all of our many questions.

After three dates changes, four different venues and a fire we had become disheartened with the whole process of getting married. Matt was extremely accommodating and really helped us with all of the problems we had faced.

Our wedding day finally arrived, on the day the wedding before ours had overrun and Matt was fantastic at keeping us up to date with what was going on and how long we would have to wait.... it helped calm down a stressed out bride!

We received our gallery and sideshow of our wedding three weeks later and were blown away. We settled down to take everything in and were overwhelmed with how amazing our photos were..... the slideshow made me cry because it was so beautiful, even the music chosen worked perfectly.

We can honestly say our wedding photos are fantastic and Matt captured moments that we missed out on, so it was lovely to see them for ourselves. We have had so many compliments on our photos and Matt's work. We are so grateful to him for capturing our day so beautifully.

Matt was the best photographer ever!! He really went above on beyond on our special day to ensure we were totally looked after, giving us heads up about certain timings and making sure we had all of the photos we requested. Matt was great with all guests including getting children to smile when needed in some posed shots and selecting the best backdrops. Matt comes with plenty of ideas but is really flexible too. Outside of the more formal shots, we barely knew he was there, yet he managed to capture some wonderfully informal, intimate, and celebratory moments. We highly recommend his amazing photography skills to all!

Matt truly offers the full package, not only is he insanely talented but he really went out of his way to make sure we felt comfortable and everything was what we wanted. He always responded to all our queries pretty much immediately, he knew I had my heart set on sunset photo's and although our wedding day didn't bring out the sunshine Matt STILL managed using his magic tools to make the shots I wanted possible.
Everyone in the wedding commented that he was great, we barely noticed he was there and it felt really natural to have him as part of the day. Personally I don't like the structured family photo's so Matt came up with alternative options and schedules that suited us better. He really went above and beyond, his style was so much more natural than many other photographers I looked at but he also brings something very unique and special to make his photos stand out. The video he put together for us was beautiful and you could really see the difference between his quality of work when compared to other wedding videos. Worth every penny! Mr & Mrs Clarke x

Matt Trott…… he’s amazing!!
If you want the most organised, incredibly talented and super friendly photographer that you can put all your trust in, Matt is your guy!
Every aspect of the process in the lead up to our wedding was impeccably organised.
On our wedding day, we barely noticed Matt was there, yet he captured every moment of our day perfectly and his photography is so artistic.
We can truly say that we can relive our whole wedding day in detail every time we look through our photo gallery.
We have watched the beautiful slideshow that Matt put together so many times and we are blown away with the quality of the printed photo album.
Thank you Matt, everything was perfect!

We would 100% recommend Matt as a wedding photographer! He was super helpful even from day 1 when I messaged him having absolutely no clue whatsoever about wedding photography! He wasn’t pushy at all, gave us lots of information and left the decision up to us. We chose Matt for his amazing natural style of photography. He fitted into our day perfectly, so much so, some of our friends and family thought he was one of the wedding party and that we’d known him for years! (In reality, we’d never met Matt before the day!) He wasn’t pushy or bossy on the day either, and was very flexible with times etc. The photographs he produced were honestly AMAZING!! Memories we will treasure forever. Thank you so much Matt!! :)

“From the word go Matt listened to our vision for our day, the style we wanted and the natural shots we hoped to capture- and that he did.
The whole process was so smooth and easy and Matt was helpful every step of the way, from choosing images on Pinterest to show our preferred style to on the day, being in all the right places at all the right times.
Even when Storm Dennis hit, Matt knew just what to do and got us the outdoor pictures we so desperately wanted as a couple.
We were thrilled with everything and can’t thank Matt enough. And if that wasn’t enough, we certainly didn’t expect a slideshow of highlights when opening our gallery for the first time - such a special touch.
Matt then surprised us again by sending us a personalized memory stick and a selection of our favourite shots printed that we’ve now framed for our home.
Everyone has said how amazing our photos are and how well they capture the day and we couldn’t agree more.”

We looked for such a long time for a photographer we liked and trusted to take pictures of our special day and couldn't find anyone, until we met Matt. From the moment of the first email until after our wedding Matt guided us through the whole process making it all so easy and effortless. I never thought I would like a photo of me but to love all 1300 of our pictures is a miracle and all down to Matt. Not once did I feel my normal uneasiness of having my photo taken. Matt was very organised and we discussed beforehand what kind of pictures we wanted and special requests which he managed to capture, even when a curve ball of secret singers was thrown in which threw everything off, he still managed to go above and beyond expectations.

Matt's recent award of 'The Best Wedding Photographer for the South East' is whole heartily deserved and I know he will go on and win many many more. I have had lots of family members and friends say how brilliant he was and that they would like to book him for their weddings and special events. Thank you so very much Matt and we look forward to seeing you again!

Matt is an amazing photographer. From the first meeting we had at 'Trott Headquarters' we felt confident that we had found our perfect photographer. He spent so much time with us/emailing/phoning us before the date that by the time the wedding came it felt like a friend was our photographer. We asked to have an engagement shoot at our wedding venue and Matt made us feel totally at ease in front of the camera. The photos that came from it were beautiful and made us very excited for the big day. Before the wedding, Matt was in constant contact with us, making sure he knew exactly what we wanted and arranging the logistics of the day. On the day of the wedding, Matt arrived in plenty of time and got to work straight away. We also had a videographer and Matt worked seamlessly with him even though they hadn't met before. Matt worked so hard the whole day through. He has the ability to place himself in the most perfect place at the perfect time to capture every moment just- perfectly! He was always thinking ahead regarding timings to capture the best photos in the most beautiful lighting. The result was photos that were simply stunning. Matt also went above and beyond both on the day of the wedding and afterwards. On the day, Matt helped in any way he could which in our case went beyond taking photos. He really made us feel that he genuinely cared that we had the perfect day. After the wedding, his amazing customer service continued until he was sure we had received everything we could wish for and were very satisfied customers. He has an amazing attention to detail and we were very impressed with how smartly he presents himself and also his products. We really wouldn't hesitate to recommend Matt as a wedding photographer. Thank you so much for giving us such beautiful images to remember our wedding.

Matt, from day one, you have been an absolute breeze to work with. From being let down by a previous photographer, we were sceptical with who we were going to use. Then you came along.

We agreed to have a phone conversation and everything we discussed, you were calm, you were reassuring, and you were a pleasure to talk to. In the lead up to the wedding you stayed in contact, you planned everything, you took the stress away!

On the wedding day, you arrived on time and very smartly dressed. I felt like I already knew you, as if you were a part of the family already. You settled in so well and everybody felt so comfortable to be around you. You headed off to the ceremony to meet Adam and instantly he knew who you were, you mingled with the guests you took natural shots of people talking and laughing. After the ceremony you organised the pictures so well and once again, took all of the stress away from me.

At the Reception you kept us away from our guests for only a short time but we had such a laugh on our photo walk with you. To be able to have a moment just me & Adam was amazing. We now have our pictures back and we are BLOWN AWAY. I cried so many tears looking through them because you captured every emotion possible in the photos, we cried and we laughed. You are EVERYTHING we could have wanted in a photographer Matt. There are no words to explain how grateful we are to have had you. Please if you are contemplating booking Matt Trott Photography, please do because you honestly will not regret it. A million thank you's Matt, you really are a rare kind!

Everything you could dream of finding in a photographer and more Matt brings through in every shot while make it feel like he’s an extension of the family!

There are not many times in life when you meet someone that you are astonished by and want to know forever! Matt is truly that person!

We started our search with absolutely no clue on who to choose based on the thousands options. When I came across Matt something struck me....his photos not only are crisp and beautiful, but bring that glimpse into the laughter and emotion from family, friends, and the bride and groom. As I look back now I’m so glad I trusted that gut feeling as it was the best decision I made for the entire wedding!

Matt right away was extremely kind and flexible. As I planned my Wedding from overseas we were not able to meet in person before yet on that day I felt like we had been friends for years. Leading up to it we Skyped, he asked questions to find out what’s important to us and how we fell in love, worked with me on the right balance of traditional shots while ensuring we have the best in the moment shots. As the schedule shifted on the day, Matt was extremely flexible, always with a smile and making the most of every minute he had. While waiting he found ways to take unique shots of the venue, my dress, my nephew, so many extra bits to ensure we remember the full breath of the day.

From the preparation, ceremony through to reception, I can honestly say it was the most natural experience I’ve ever had. I’m not a fan of posing for pictures and I never felt like I was.

The day after Matt was the very first to wish us congratulations and let us know when we will get our much-anticipated pictures, providing sneak peaks on his website, unavailing the pictures in exceptional time so that we could have them for our party back in the US.

Every picture was breathtaking! Many looking straight out of a high end magazine with the meaning of a family album feel! My family and friends cannot stop talking about them and our begging for the pictures which are not just of us but so many amazing ones of all of them!

We will cherish Matt and the beautiful works of art forever! He gave us the gift of not only remembering our special day with each picture but truly feel it every time we see them.

Trust me, choose him!!!!!!!! He is exactly what you are looking for and more!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Matt!!
