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

I love finding a new venue, especially one as stunning as Cheswell Grange in Shropshire. Isobel and her bridesmaids getting ready for the ceremony at the lakeside barn.

113th Collection

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!!!

113th Collection

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

113th Collection

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!!!
