I specialise in documentary wedding photography from Bishops Stortford, capturing relaxed, unscripted moments across Essex and Hertfordshire. I blend in to create natural portraits and gallery you’ll love.
I’m Matt Heath — a specialist wedding photographer based in Bishops Stortford with a clear focus: capturing real moments, relaxed and unscripted. Over more than 15 years and a thousand weddings I’ve developed a documentary approach that lets your day breathe. I blend in, observe and record the laughter, the quiet looks and the unexpected moments that, together, tell the story of your wedding. My style is documentary-led with a thoughtful mix of creative and natural portraits. I favour reportage throughout the day so the informal images bind the story together, then bring in a few carefully directed portraits to give you images you’ll be proud to hang on the wall. I take pride in producing a finished gallery that feels genuine — full of atmosphere, character and emotion. Working locally in Bishops Stortford, I regularly cover weddings across Essex, Hertfordshire and the wider UK. I’ve been honoured to be an approved supplier at many well-known venues and I work closely with venue teams to make the photography run smoothly. From our first conversation we’ll talk through the plan, the flow of the day and any special moments you want captured, and I’m always happy to offer creative ideas that suit the two of you. Your images are important to me: every photograph on this site is taken and edited by me personally, never outsourced. I’m a perfectionist in the editing room and take care to deliver a cohesive, carefully finished collection of images that reflects the mood and story of your day. Fine art albums and printed products are available to turn that story into a lasting heirloom. While weddings are my core speciality, I also shoot portraits and family sessions when required — natural, relaxed portraiture that complements my wedding work. If you’re planning your wedding and want a photographer who focuses on authentic, documentary wedding photography from Bishops Stortford and beyond, let’s talk. I keep things straightforward, friendly and professional so you can enjoy the day and relive it forever through the photographs.
