Welcome, and a Huge Congratulations!
You’re getting married – how exciting is that?! I’m genuinely so chuffed you’ve chosen me, Matthew S Higgs Photography, to capture such an important day in your lives.
Why I Do What I Do
Your wedding day is going to fly by – filled with laughs, happy tears, hugs from your favourite people, and all those little moments that make it yours.
My job? To make sure every bit of that magic is captured forever.
I truly believe that everyone deserves beautiful wedding photos. Not just the kind you look at once and forget about, but the kind you’ll treasure for years – the ones that bring all the emotions flooding back every time you look at them.
And it’s not just about you either. These photos will become part of your family story – something future generations can look back on and feel connected to.
One of the Best Investments You’ll Make
Let’s be honest – weddings can be pricey. But when the confetti settles and the cake’s long gone, your photos will be what lasts.
They’re more than just images – they’re your memories, your moments, and your story.
Let’s Make Some Memories
I’m so excited to get to know you both, hear all about your plans, and start capturing your day in a way that feels honest, relaxed, and completely you.

What to Expect: A Fun, Stress-Free Experience
Planning a wedding can feel like a lot – I totally get it. But when it comes to your photography, you’re in safe hands.
Now that you’ve booked in, here’s what you can expect from here on out:
1. Pre-Wedding Chat
We’ll kick things off with a relaxed consultation ( with a Coffee or glass of wine over a video call). I’d love to hear your story – how you met, your wedding day vision, and any special touches or moments you want captured.
This is also the perfect time to ask any questions – no pressure, no awkward sales pitch, just a chance to connect and plan some magic.
2. Engagement Session
(Included in the Deluxe Package)
Your engagement shoot is a brilliant way to get comfortable in front of the camera and celebrate your journey so far.
We’ll pick a spot that means something to you both – whether it’s your favourite beach, forest walk, or city corner – and capture some relaxed, beautiful moments. You’ll walk away with a gallery of gorgeous photos to share with friends and family (and maybe even use for your invites or wedding website!).
3. Staying in the Loop
I’ll keep things simple and stress-free – promise.
If you’ve booked an engagement session, you’ll start receiving emails around 12–9 months before your wedding date. If not, your first check-in will land in your inbox around 6 months out.
You might also get the odd blog update or behind-the-scenes peek – but no spam, ever.
Stay Connected!
I’d love for you to follow along on my socials – feel free to like, comment, share, or pop me a message anytime. It’s always lovely to hear from you, and I love staying connected in the run-up to the big day!

4. Timeline Planning
A smooth wedding day starts with a solid plan – but don’t worry, I’ve got you covered.
I’ll help you put together a relaxed but well-thought-out photography timeline, so you’ll know exactly when and where we’ll be capturing each key moment. That way, you can be fully present, soaking it all in, without ever wondering “What’s next?”
5. The Big Day: Candid Moments & Creative Shots
When the big day arrives, I’ll be there to document it all – from those morning prep vibes and nervous excitement, right through to the emotional vows, belly laughs, confetti storms, and epic dance moves.
I’ll quietly blend into the background, catching the real stuff – those natural, unposed, joy-filled moments – while also guiding you through a few beautifully composed shots that you’ll be proud to hang on the wall.
Let’s be real: You should get to enjoy your day, see your guests, and still walk away with amazing photos.
My Approach? Real, Relaxed, and Unobtrusive
I focus on genuine emotion and storytelling – the laughter, the tears, the chaos, the calm – all of it.
We’ll step away for around 20 minutes at golden hour to capture a few stunning portraits of just the two of you, but that’s it. No disappearing for hours. No endless posing. Just the right balance of gorgeous imagery and time with the people you love.
Want Something a Bit Extra?
If you’re up for it, we can have a little fun with some creative shots – think sparklers, confetti pops, Prosecco sprays, or a bit of flash wizardry for something dramatic. I’ll have everything pre-set, so when the time comes, it’s quick, relaxed, and totally worth it.
Over and over again…
I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve heard this at weddings:
“Our photographer had us taking photos all day… we barely got to enjoy it or see our guests.”
That’s not how I work. Your day should feel like your day – not a photoshoot. My goal is for you to live it, love it, and look back on the photos thinking, “That was us, just how it felt.”

6. Post-Wedding Magic
Once the dancing’s done and the confetti has settled, it’s my turn to get to work.
I’ll carefully edit your images to bring out all the emotion, beauty, and atmosphere of your day – no heavy filters, just clean, timeless edits that feel like you.
You’ll receive a curated gallery full of storytelling moments – from the big “I do” to the tiny details and everything in between. The kind of photos you’ll love to share now, and treasure forever.

7. My Style
Timeless. Elegant. Real.
My style is all about capturing the real stuff – the laughs, the tears, the quiet glances, and the joyful chaos. I blend timeless elegance with honest, unposed storytelling to create images that feel as good as they look.
I’m not about stiff poses or cookie-cutter shots. I’m here to document your day exactly as it unfolds – the big moments, the little ones, and everything in between.
The goal?
Photos that feel personal, meaningful, and truly you – the kind of images you’ll look back on in 50 years and still love just as much.
When can I except my photo’s to be delivered?
I aim to get your images back to you within 10weeks, it used to be 4-6 but throwing in ever growing demand AND a baby in the mix at home, this made things a little more difficult! You can opted for an extra “jump the queue edit” and get your images within 5-7days of purchasing “after your wedding and subject to availability” for £195
“But if your itching to share your memories with family and friends whilst their still buzzing about your big day, Its 100% worth the hype!”

Tips for a Flawless Photography Experience
When it comes to wedding photos, you really do get out what you put in. So here’s my honest advice: have a little fun with it beforehand!
Stand in front of the mirror, scroll through a few wedding photo inspo boards, and get used to how you move together. Then, when the big day arrives – go for it! Honestly, nothing makes a photographer happier than a couple who’s clearly having fun and feeling themselves in front of the camera.
It’s not about being models – it’s about being you, and that little bit of prep can make your photos look 100% more authentic and relaxed.
That said – if you feel awkward, don’t worry at all. That’s where I come in. I’ll gently guide you through with a few natural prompts and give you space to enjoy the moment without ever feeling forced or stiff.
To help you get the most out of your wedding photography, here are a few easy tips:
1. Be Yourself
Relax, breathe, and enjoy it. The best photos come from genuine moments and natural emotion – not from perfect posing.
2. Trust Me
You’ve hired me for a reason – I’ve got years of experience and a good eye for what works. Trust my guidance, and I promise you’ll look your best.
3. Plan Ahead
A clear timeline and a simple list of must-have shots (especially for group or family photos) makes everything run smoother and stress-free.
4. Have Fun
Seriously – enjoy every second! The more fun you’re having, the better your photos will be. Laughter, connection, and joy always look amazing on camera.
