Freezing moments in time, so you can look back and feel something.
At Matt Willis Photography, we pride ourselves on being a creative documentary wedding photographer. Our goal is to capture your special day in a natural and unobtrusive way, allowing you to relax and enjoy every moment of it. We believe that your wedding day should be about you, your family, and your friends, not about us. We don't want to take you away from your celebration for hours, posing you in artificial settings. We want you to be yourself, and we'll capture your authentic moments on camera.
Our approach is all about storytelling. We love to sit back and watch events unfold, capturing those beautiful, funny, and emotional moments that you and your loved ones will treasure for years to come. We're drawn to the human condition, freezing people in time so you can look back and feel something. Whether it's your kids or grandkids who'll one day look at your wedding photos, we want them to see you at your happiest.
As a photographer, I'm attracted to beautiful light, so we'll be watching the light closely on your wedding day. This means we may need to be flexible and take a few minutes to capture some stunning portraits in the golden sunlight or under a break in the clouds.
My Approach
My approach is relaxed, with a focus on capturing natural moments. If you're giggly and smiley, that's perfect; if you're quiet and shy, that's okay too. We'll take our time, and I'll make sure you feel comfortable in front of the camera. I've had plenty of experience with camera-shy individuals, including my own wife!
Portraiture is a big part of our work, and I want you to feel at ease and enjoy the experience. We'll take your time, capturing beautiful images together. Our goal is to create something you'll treasure for years to come.
