Why Matthew Rycraft?

Photography and art has been in my family for 3 generations, I started using a camera at a very young age and haven’t had one out of my sight since.  This passion shines through to your wedding photographs creating pieces of artwork that will be passed down generations becoming heirlooms.  I’m very relaxed & professional on your wedding day producing the ideal balance of natural & directed moments, making sure everything is captured authentically and most of all perfectly, you’ll barely notice I’m there.

Award Winner

WINNER of Wedding of the Year 3 years in a row from 2015-2017, over 10 wedding magazine front covers & 4 Print Photography & International Awards. In 2016 was chosen as a Phottix UK Ambassador which was a major achievement in my career, along with working with paper manufacturer PermaJet in 2019 after winning 3 Print Awards in London. All just a testament to the quality of work I produce.  I exclusively only cover 40 weddings a year & educate other photographers across the UK, North West, Cheshire & Liverpool in between these wedding dates.  I’d love to chat weddings with you, feel free to pop into our Southport Studio for a glass of bubbly or beer anytime.

Style & Experience

Modern, Striking & Naturally Storytelling… My fundamentals used for every wedding photograph captured. I prefer to blend into the background photographing natural moments of you & your guests laughing, giggling, smiling & most of all having lots of fun. Of course I capture the timeless wedding photographs of your family & bridal party, but with a modern & natural twist.  Balancing this with photo sessions with the bride & groom producing my all inspiring signature images & creating beautiful natural memories.

I’ve shot over 500 weddings, hundreds as a Liverpool wedding photographer, so you can be assured that I have the experience to handle anything your wedding day throws at me.  Years of experience have taught me to capture the moment at just the right time, so it’s now instinctive.  Together we customise your last & most important wedding gift, your wedding album.  Seeing your reaction when you view your wedding album for the first time is the ultimate feeling of gratification.
