Natural Documentary Wedding Photography
Mat Quake is a full time professional documentary wedding photographer based in Teddington, Richmond, Surrey and London, providing wedding photography across the UK and destination wedding photography abroad. I specialise in natural, reportage wedding photography and wedding photojournalism, also known as documentary wedding photography, phrases commonly used to describe reality rich photographs that form a narrative of your day. I focus on documenting the real personal, emotional and authentic moments, wedding photography that you’ll be proud to own and share with your family, friends and generations to come.
Artistic Contemporary Wedding Photography
My focus throughout your wedding is to capture moments spontaneously. However, a very small part of the day is devoted to creating beautiful, contemporary wedding photography of you both as husband and wife, which is a little more pre-planned and softly directed. I have a passion for creating fine art wedding photographs of my bride and grooms, atmospheric and romantically charged. My approach to photographing you together is as unobtrusive and relaxed as my general approach on the day, simply aiming to create beautiful, natural photographs that will serve as a lifelong tribute to you both on your wedding day.
I thoroughly enjoy being a London wedding photographer because the weddings I shoot here always remind me of how beautiful, romantic and inspiring the capital is come rain or shine. I photograph at some of the capital’s most prestigious wedding venues, from London’s oldest churches, such as Saint Bartholomew the Great, to luxury five start hotels like the Mandarin Oriental, Knightsbridge and Dartmouth House, Mayfair.
Wedding Photography Richmond, Surrey
I provide wedding photography in Richmond Upon Thames. It’s one of the most beautiful places in greater London to get married and is home to three of my most favourite wedding venues, The Petersham Hotel, Pembroke Lodge and The Bingham. It’s an area of outstanding natural beauty, a town that sits at the base of Richmond Hill, flanked by the River Thames and Richmond Park, which offer fantastic backdrops for wedding photography.
Kingscote Barn in the Cotswalds was the setting for Craig and Karen’s country wedding. Despite the poor weather conditions, bride, groom and photographer braved the cold and blistery conditions to capture some beautiful, contemporary wedding photography that made the most of the beautiful english countryside.
