MATT PATE | CHESHIRE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

Hi, I'm Matt...

My mission is to repay their trust by producing images that are timeless and that evoke laughter and tears for all the right reasons, now and for the generations to come. That comes from careful planning, proper listening and attention to detail – and being able to spot those moments of pure magic!

A father to two young boys, I’ve been a photography enthusiast since my teens. It became more of a passion when I got involved in climbing and whitewater kayaking. I witnessed some amazing scenery, skies and weather conditions and would document my adventures on whatever camera I could get my hands on. Gradually, as my equipment got better my confidence grew and so did my images. I’ve been honing my skills ever since.

Portrait photography is something really special. I enjoy capturing someone’s personality, emotion and their soul and freezing it in a moment in time. Where better to capture joy, personality and emotion than at a wedding?

Please feel free to get in touch by phone or email if you want to know more or need some advice. I'M Happy to help, without any obligation.

Rosie & Jon

Matt was absolutely brilliant from the moment we met him. We had an engagement shoot with Matt and he also came to our wedding party. His relaxed and funny style makes you feel instantly calm and makes the whole process thoroughly enjoyable. At our party, Matt worked tirelessly and our guests loved him. He added a different dimension to the party and I am delighted with his work. He managed to capture real life action and fun, seemlessly, without staging anything. I would highly recommend using Matts service.

Georgia & Jason

Absolutely can recommend Matt as a photographer for all special occasions. He met with us before our wedding day which helped us to be at ease and all pictures and sessions were fab. We even managed to do Chester Clock pics at midday on busy Saturday! Thank you so much for all your work! Karolina and James
