Testimonials

Richmond Wedding Photographer Mathew Quake Photography captures natural, contemporary and creative reportage wedding photography.

Mat photographed our wedding last year at The Petersham Hotel and Pembroke Lodge in Richmond Upon Thames. From the initial meeting we had we knew we wanted him to be our wedding photographer and our photographs show we made the right choice. He made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and put us at ease, he was also very calming during what was quite a hectic day. He can work some magic with that camera of his, we’ve had a great deal of positive comments from friends and family about the images he provided us and about the way Mat conducted himself on the day, professional, fun to work with, not at all obtrusive. Thanks Mat for the wonderful memories you’ve captured, we would recommend you to anyone. Tony and Natasha

Mat photographed our wedding at Mandarin Oriental, London. Right from the start we found Mat made us feel very comfortable and listened to our ideas and what we wanted. On the day itself Mat was organised and efficient and again it all felt very natural and comfortable, it felt like having a friend doing our photography. Mat produced absolutely beautiful pictures and several of our wedding guests chose to use him for their weddings too. Carmen and Simon

Mat did an outstanding job photographing our wedding which took place in October at the  Kensington Roof Gardens in London. Mat was really easy and fun to work with. Actually many of our guests complimented him on his style. Mat took good charge of the situation; for example he managed to get a full group picture almost effortlessly. He was professional, flexible and paid attention to all the details. The results were absolutely amazing. The photos captured some great moments – happy, natural and beautiful. I would not hesitate to recommend Mat for any event photography. Rania & Thomas

Our Wedding took place at Hall Barn Estate, in Beaconsfield. Mat did an outstanding job with our pictures and I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone. We had him for the 10hr package which is quite a long time to work, but he kept pace wonderfully, capturing all the key moments. Mat has a knack for being totally unobstrusive and he took brilliant unposed images of our friends and family relaxing and enjoying the day. He also happens to be highly professional and has a great enthusiasm for his work and is not afraid to try new creative things – for example he used hidden microphones on my hubby to capture our vows and parts of the speeches – the result is a fantastic set of images and a movie slideshow we’ll always treasure. Thank you for being such an important part of our big day Mat. Lucy & Wayne

Mat did a fantastic job photographing our wedding at Dartmouth House in London. He covered our ceremony, reception, dinner and first dance. Many of our guests commented on his friendly and polite manner throughout. He discretely captured great moments, especially facial expressions of joy so perfectly. We have been very happy with the quality of the photos that we received and believe that our day could not be reflected any better. Mat has also been very organised, helpful and responsive throughout the whole process. We would highly recommend him as a wedding photographer. Melis & Jason

Thank you very much indeed 🙂 Chris and I were both smiling as we scrolled our way through the marvelous pictures. I must go to bed, but just keep having another peep! Well Done, love Dzen. Dzen and Chris

Love Love Love it!!

Just watched the slideshow a couple of times and clicked through all the 300 photos – they’re great!!!!!!!!!!!  We’ll have a proper look at them all at the weekend but we’re very pleased with the selection and you’ve taken some really fab pictures.  There are some that really jump out as being ‘ones for the mantelpiece’! It’s so funny but for so many of them we didn’t realise you were taking pictures at the time. Thank you very much for putting it all together so quickly, we really appreciate it. Kate and James

Mat, thank you for so beautifully capturing our special day, the pictures are everything I wanted and more.  You were great fun to work with making us feel relaxed and at ease on our engagement shoot and on the day of the wedding you felt like one of the guests, I hardly noticed the camera clicking away while I was enjoying the day. I would highly recommend your work to any of my friends for their wedding and other occasions(I already have to a few!), and have had endless compliments on the beautiful pictures. Lisa & David

We searched through seventy different photographer websites, and interviewed five photographers before we settled on Mat. We spent time on this because it’s crucial you have someone you can trust, who will document this, the most important day of your life. We hit it off immediately – he’s extremely personable and fun, which of course makes you feel relaxed and happy. On our wedding day Mat was very professional, organised and efficient. The photographs are simply outstanding – the best wedding photo‘s we‘ve ever seen. They capture the mood, the feeling, the drama, the fun and the joy we felt throughout our day. The photographs do more than this – they are also creative and artistic, ultimately they perfectly encapsulate both of our individual personalities and that of us as a couple. We could not have asked for a better photographer, and we could not recommend Mat any more highly. Claire and Giles

Mat not only has the ability to compose a beautiful photograph and document the story of the day in an unobtrusive way, he is a lovely human being and that made the whole experience feel that bit more special. Caroline & Tom

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for our wedding photos. They are amazing and we are so thrilled with them.We got back from honeymoon a couple of weeks ago and have spent a couple of enjoyable evenings since going through them all! We’ve not got anything printed off yet – I feel a bit spoilt for choice. You’ve really captured the story of the day and it’s wonderful to relive it all.  Even Duncan is pleased with photos of himself so you have worked a minor miracle there!! It was a real pleasure to have you photograph our wedding and I would certainly recommend you to friends. Lisa & Duncan

We are now back from a blissful honeymoon and are trying to assimilate back into normal life! Thank you so much for your extremely hard work during the wedding. It was a wonderful day, and I know you went above and beyond to capture it all. The photographs are amazing, which has made reliving the day all the more memorable. Your a star Mat and we would recommend you to anyone. Kate & Adam

Mat, thank you so much for our amazing wedding photography, you truly have captured all the special moments from our day with fantastic style and clarity . We received lots of feedback from our friends and family about how personable and friendly you were, you made the whole process feel easy and stress free. Now we just have to try and select our 50 prints, not sure where to start! James & Samantha

Thank you so much Mat. You’ve really captured our day with thought, style and sensitivity. You made us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the wedding, which was particularly good for my husband who is notoriously camera shy! Thank you Mat for capturing our special day, we will treasure your photographs forever. Victoria & Mark
