Kids portrait photoshoot, Willow & Evie

January 18, 2017  •  Leave a Comment
Around 2 years ago I first photographed Evie, when she was just a baby. Since then she’s grown so much and gained a little cousin too in the form of Willow. As it was a bit miserable and damp on shoot day we opted to stay in the warmth and dry of Evie’s Grandparents home, just outside Sheffield. Being close to Christmas we went for some Christmas...

Year In Review, 2016

January 06, 2017  •  Leave a Comment
Hello! And welcome to Matt Thompson Photography's year in review! This year has been one of the best, most bizarre, fun years for me. Technically it's my second year in business, but for me, this is my first real year. The year I photographed weddings where couples booked me for my style, the year my amazing supportive wife took an unofficial rol...

Laura & Alex Pre-Wedding at Valley Gardens, Harrogate

October 29, 2016  •  Leave a Comment
I've been friends of Laura & Alex's for a few years now, but hadn't realised how adorable they really were until I stuck a camera in front of them. Lots of laughter and smiles made for a great afternoon at Valley Gardens in Harrogate, which was great practice for their wedding in August when they get married at The Old Swan, 5 minutes from the gard...

I'm 1 1/2 years into photographing this little girl and her family and she's grown up so fast since I started. Click here for her first photoshoot. Back at Whirlowbrook Hall and armed with some smoke bombs this time round. Cali wasn't too sure about her photo being taken so I decided to let her be in charge of taking some photos (with me holding t...

Whiteley & Hill Family Photoshoot at Cannon Hall

October 17, 2016  •  Leave a Comment
The sun's shinning and Cannon Hall's the location. What better way to spend an afternoon photographing a new family growing. Sarah and James, like most couples were a little nervous having their photos taken. They had received one of my vouchers for Christmas and wanted to use it before their gorgeous little boy grew up too quickly. We were all so...

Tatum & Steve's Wedding at Oakwell Hall Country Park

October 15, 2016  •  Leave a Comment
Tatum & Steve's wedding was my first real wedding booking, way back in early 2015. So it was quite special to finally get to photograph it. They got married at the gorgeous Oakwell Hall Country Park, set in West Yorkshire. Being a museum, with no kitchen, bar or any other type of typical wedding needs, they put everything together themselves. The...

Amy & Richard's Wedding at Holiday Inn, Brighouse

October 06, 2016  •  Leave a Comment
One thing I remember Richard telling me during the day, was that he convinced Amy to push the wedding back to September because it's always sunny and hot. So what did it do on their wedding? Rain, all day. But who lets a little bit of rain ruin their wedding day? Definitely not Amy & Richard. They were so relaxed throughout the day and the rain di...

Stacey & Chris' Wedding at Holdsworth House

October 04, 2016  •  Leave a Comment
When your best mate of over 10 years tells you they've finally set a date for their wedding, you instantly go, "I'll photograph it!" And that's what I did, as well as accepting to be best man, taxi service and everything else they asked of me. It was an absolutely honour and privilege to photograph this wedding and they couldn't of chosen a more p...

Walton Hall, Michaela and Gareth. Waterton Park Hotel, 12th June 2016

July 13, 2016  •  Leave a Comment
Walton Hall was where I got married, so it was a dream to finally get to photograph at this venue for Michaela & Gareth. Set on a island, accompanied by geese, fluffy goslings and swans it couldn't have been a more romantic place to get married. The day went perfectly, even the rain held off until the meal and stopped again when everyone had finis...

Married in a cave. Nat & Cass, The Rowantree, Edinburgh, 29th May 2016

June 15, 2016  •  Leave a Comment
I first met Nat & Cass at a new years eve party 2 years before their wedding and thankfully after many rum and cokes, they still thought I'd be a good option a year later when they booked me. Their venue couldn't have been any more romantic. Set in the heart of Edinburgh, The Rowantree (or The Caves as it known) is part of The Unusual Venues. Lit...
