Information For Matthew Frost Photography

Fun, relaxed and completely natural photography that is mastered through a natural client relationship and finished with a luxury, timeless atmosphere.

B E F O R E T H E D A Y
Lets face it, the majority of our relationship will take place outside of your wedding day and for me, this time period is really key and often has a direct effect on the outcome of your final images. My goal from the start is to really get to know you both. Not necessarily what you do for a living and what your favourite food is but more about what kind of people you are, what your
particular vibe is and how you see yourself. Before anything else I want to become your friend and I want to make you comfortable in my presence, which of course is easy because I'm just such a great guy, haha.
We start off with an initial consult, usually done at your house or a place of your choosing. we can also do this remotely but I really prefer to meet with you in person. We discuss your day and some of the things that you have planned, we all get excited about it (especially me) and then we discuss possible shoot ideas and for me, I like to give you a sense of what I can bring to the table in terms of my brand and style. Along with showing you some visual examples of past work, I like to leave you with of a vision of what your wedding collection could look like. Obviously there is no obligation to book at this point, its just me coming to have a conversation with you about my favourite subject, weddings. But more importantly, its for us to really find out if we like each other, its about assessing if we really are the right fit. I can't think of anything worse than to spend the most special day of your life with someone you don't like after all. But no matter the outcome you will always benefit from our conversation, just because im full of the most amazing advice that anyone could ever give you for you day, haha.
O N T H E D A Y
By this time all the relevent homework will have been done,regarding the venue, shoot locations and ideas that we would have previously planned
together in our final consult prior to the big day. I will have planned your entire day with military precision for it all to just fall apart once the action begins, haha. I'm joking, but not entirely. Weddings should be enjoyed and relaxed. yes I like to plan heavily beforehand but in no way will you ever feel the weight of my military agenda. Weddings are best captured as they take their natural course, which is never decided before the day but on the day itself, which is what I love most, the unscripted moments make the day. My goal on the day is really to appear as any of your guests would. Dressed well and joining in with the celebration. From the moment I appear at bridal prep my beginning stages is just to get you used to the new me. The version of me that just so happens to have a camera in his hand. You will find me conversing with you all day as a friend would, even when we are on a shoot I will be talking with you all the time. This really helps to normalise the situation and encourages you be often much more relaxed than you thought you would. It
also helps for facial expression and smiles. Far better to say something funny (sometimes just stupid) and capture a genuine smile than to simply ask you for
a fake one. The same goes for posing. I never really ask you to stand in a certain way or give me a certain look, this is just unnatural and often awkward. I prefer to choose a composition, a scene, and simply put you in it along with the vision of how I'm imaging the shot. If I require a certain facial expression that I'm not
seeing then I will simply attempt to influence this through our conversation.

Top Wedding Tips

Pick a venue that really is you, no matter the cost as the outcome is indeed priceless.

Pick a photographer, firstly through the way their images make you feel, but more importantly how much they intend on investing in relationship before the wedding.

Invest time with your photographer before the day. Although you don't realise it, you are investing in the authenticity of your wedding day shoot.

Matthew Frost lies about stolen valor which is a crime:
Photographs are not bad, but Matthew Frost Lying about been Special Forces identifies the type of person he is. Having lost colleague all over the world over a 20 year career when people make up stories about been in the Military and serving as special forces to make themselves look good, it really is the biggest insult to serving members and veterans.

This is why he should not be trusted and has deleted his accounts.

Highly Recommend
We would highly recommend using Matthew as your photography for your wedding, he captured all our special moments and even more. He took his time to get to know us and what we wanted to capture and all those specific family/group photos. He had never been to our wedding venue, The Norfolk Mead Hotel and we were impressed with how much extra effort he out in to visit the venue before the day to get to know the venue and surrounds to get the best pictures. He captured some wonderful moments of our guests and family.
We were impressed with how beautiful the usb & presentation box was, very posh.
Recommend him and his fantastic work he has done for our wedding day.

The shots were amazing
Matthew has been such a wonderful wedding photographer. He got to know us and made us laugh. I am sorry I forgot what you looked like when you appeared at my door, though it was three years since we last saw you thanks to the pandemic. You made us really at ease through the whole day and sometimes we just thought you were a guest with a camera. Your shots are amazing and we cannot decide which ones we want to display.

Thank you so so much
Matt was our wedding photographer in June 2021. Matt’s communication throughout was excellent, he attended the venue with us in advance to make sure he knew where everything was so he could get the possible shots, and discussed and explained all the different options available to us which put our minds at rest before we even started.
On the day we couldn’t have hoped for a better experience - when he needed to direct us for photos he did, and when he wanted candid shots we didn’t even notice he was there!! I’m no oil painting but he even managed to get some photos of me looking half decent for which I’m extremely grateful!!!
His service on the day was awesome, and I should also say he couldn’t have been more helpful with rearranging times and dates (due to the covid restrictions) and turned the edited photos around remarkably quickly. Matt was professional, friendly, funny, and most of all great at getting the job done - genuinely a legend (and no, he hasn’t paid me to say this and I didn’t know him before our wedding!)
I would have no hesitation recommending Matt and would encourage you to book him if you want a combination of natural and traditional wedding photos - we are extremely happy with our photos and it’s also worth saying the photos we got were sent on a branded USB stick in a gorgeous box which will make a good little keepsake.
5 stars for a top photographer and a great service

Priceless
Ok ! So here is my honest review.. Matthew is amazing at his job from the moment I met him I just knew he was the guy for the job ! He’s so professional you don’t even know he’s there except for when he’s making you feel at ease if he senses your a bit nervous! His work is absolutely gorgeous! He’s catches all the moments you didn’t even know you wanted . He’s not pushy or demanding he just reads the situation and goes with the flow . The pictures he took of our wedding day are absolutely priceless and I can’t thank him enough for the excellent work he did for us on our special day !
Thank you Matthew you’re the absolute BEST !!!!!

Treasure the photographs forever
Let me start by saying it’s really hard to choose a photographer for your wedding mainly because it’s such a big investment and because you need to be able to trust the person to be able to capture the memories of your most special day. Somehow we stumbled across Matt’s page and never looked back! From beginning to end he was the utmost professional and provided us with impeccable service. The great thing about Matt is he is an artist and has a vision, he knows what works and what doesn’t, and is able to honestly give you pointers and walk you through the process and most importantly you can rest easy that your photos will be truly special. Its obvious that Matt cares deeply about the quality of his work, and is passionate about being creative. As a person who feels quite uncomfortable being photographed Matt really put me at ease from the moment he arrived in the bridal lounge until he left late in the evening and as a result we got a really natural & beautiful collection. I honestly had no idea where Matt was hiding a lot of the time but he got some truly stunning photos, especially during the speeches! Matt’s use of natural lighting in his photographs is really special, and we love that he went to the venue prior to the wedding to seek out the best spots. We also met with Matt twice before the big day and he was really quick to reply to any queries and even went out of his way to use his network to find me a videographer. Overall we would say that the investment in Matt’s work is completely worth it & we will treasure the photographs forever because he truly captured every part of the story.

We'd totally recommend
We are so glad that we chose Matt to take our wedding photos. A really great guy and so much attention to detail! He captured beautiful shots of us, our guests and the little details that were special to us right down to the charm on my bouquet. He made us feel at ease from when we met at our pre wedding meeting until the end of our wedding day. We loved the style of his photos and love ours even more! The stories and moments behind the smiles have been captured so well. Matt was great at communicating with us and we were so amazed when our portfolio was ready earlier than we thought.
Thank you for capturing our day, Matt. We’d totally recommend!

Book Him
Our wedding photos were absolutely stunning and there were so many candid captures that we are obsessed with. Matt was so easy to get on with and really went above and beyond throughout our day, giving us advice, making sure everything was set up beautifully and even making sure my dress and veil were in the right place all the time. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone

Thank you!!!
Matthew did an outstanding job for our wedding. He was very professional and accommodating. We celebrated our wedding over two days and Matthew was very happy to capture the love for us on both days.
Our first day was the church wedding and English traditional celebration. The second day was a traditional Nigerian celebration. We are very thankful for all his inspiration and ideas to make the most of the venues and produce the most beautiful pictures.
You could clearly tell his experience with wedding photography because he was always in the right place, at the right time and he made sure that he captured the best moments with the guests having fun, whilst capturing the two very different cultures coming together.
From the beginning to the end he managed to secure a wonderful compilation, a mixture of people, venues, decorations and surroundings.
Thank you once again!

Oh Hey! I'm Matt and I cant't express to you enough how happy I am to be having this conversation with you. It gives me the chance to talk about the two things that I love most, weddings and photography. Thankfully my greatest passion is also my hobby,my career and my business. I gave up a very stable job to go back into education with a dream of becoming a master of photography and creating a truly unique editorial natural style and brand. In case you are wondering "why photography", I have always been an artist, since the early days in school, this was always my subject. Just having the right to express yourself and to create something unique to you always appealed to me more than anything else. I am now a father to two wonderful children (and more cats than my wife would like) and a husband to an amazing women. I hold a first class degree in photography along with qualifications in Adobe creative software. I have previously been awarded for some of my landscape photography and I also have a background in wildlife photography. Why am I telling you this about my previous areas of the photography? well because these same areas have inspired the style that you see before you now. I employ a very natural style, in the way that I shoot, in the way that I interact with my subjects and in the way that I like to compose images and the natural elements that I strive to include within them where ever possible. I rarely shoot models but for sure I can make you look like one. Lets continue this journey together a little more........
