About Matthew Rycraft

Matthew was born in Southport on a cold & snowy Sunday, January the 28th 1979. Matt is a Typical Aquarius, Loyal, Friendly, Original and Inventive. Brought up in a artistic family, his grandad was a fantastic painter, never commercially recognised but his reproduction of the Mona Lisa was Matt’s favourite. His father and brother to this day still have a fantastic eye for photography, his brother having his own website for personal images.

Matthew started his Photographic Career at Southport College as a GCSE student in 1996, he then progressed to enrol on the renowned Southport College Photographic course. Loving photography for over 10 years and being a Photographic graduate Matthew has the experience and knowledge required to provide ingenious photographic commissions. Over the past 6 years Digital Photography has become second nature but to this day still uses his Leica 35mm SLR camera in moments of nostalgia.

Combining graphic design and digital retouching Matthew is able to produce works of art that exceed his client’s expectations, click here for testimonials.

“Photography is not just a business for me, it’s part of my everyday life…. it’s a passion”.

Most of us dislike our picture being taken, the thought of that lens pointing towards you makes most people shout “No” then cover their face! But Matthew’s unobtrusive and friendly approach to Wedding Photography in particular, helps the most shyest of Bride or Groom instantly feel comfortable and confident.
