Matt Pate Wedding Photography
Hi, I'm Matt
Being a couple's photographer of choice for their big day is something very special.
It is a privilege.
My mission is to repay my client's 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!
My style is fun, relaxed & natural.
Winning photos
Groomsmen Jumping for joy at Cheswell Grange. I always enjoy having a laugh with the groomsmen, there are so many shots you can have fun with. This is how I see photography, it should be loads of FUN!!!

One of my favorite places, Liverpool Water Front was the perfect place for Katie & Tim's pre wedding shoot. I'd had a recent clear out of champagne so this was a nice surprise for them. Just out of frame is my 12 year old son holding the boom and light, lighting the couple. He's wearing a poncho and is absolutely soaked!!!

Runcorn Town Hall is such a lovely building, This was a very obvious shot with Olivia & Shaun.

I've always loved a dramatic and atmospheric image, with the help of my lighting assistant Oliver my 12 year old Son, we created this moody shot at Talacre sand dunes.
113th Collection
A regular location for a pre wedding shoot. Talacre has wonderful sand dunes, making great leading lines. I love to hide the lighthouse a little, so it isn't too prominent in the image, but still visible. Making Lorraine & Tim obviously the subject.
Can't beat the light here!!
Anna & Jamie chose not to live it up on their first dance!!!
A fantastic wedding at the awesome Titanic Hotel Liverpool
I love the contrasting buildings in this area of Manchester, the old canal, train tracks, bridges and red brick buildings. Towering above this historic area are these huge, shiny new skyscrapers. What an awesome location for a wedding venue, when doing a recce of the area, I noticed these bridges, I knew this would be great for a couple image.
111th Collection
One of my favourite confetti shots ever!!! I love the moment captured between Anna & Jamie. I also love the depth in the confetti, I asked the guests to throw a little confetti in front of my camera to create this effect.

I was absolutely shattered by this time in the evening at Anna & Jamie's wedding, but I had promised them a champagne shower image, so here it is. I'm creating these champagne shower images regularly now, so find it a fairly straightforward shot to set up. A light behind the couple and a groomsman holding the key light.
111th Collection
I love the industrial vibe from this image, I think it easily tells you it's taken at the docks, an awesome location for the Titanic Hotel in Liverpool. Again its all about the connection between Anna & Jamie.
