MD13 Photography

MD13 Photography is the wedding specialist for couples in Burton upon Trent and across the Midlands. Led by Matt Draycott, a fun and laid-back photographer who has been shooting weddings since 2015, MD13 focuses on documentary-style imagery that captures the real, unscripted moments that make each day unique. If it’s worth remembering, it’s worth photographing — that philosophy guides every wedding Matt shoots. Why choose MD13 Photography? Matt blends a creative eye with years of experience to produce natural, emotive images that tell the story of your day. Rather than forcing posed portraits, he looks for genuine interactions — the laugh, the quiet glance, the spontaneous celebrations — creating a gallery that feels like the day itself. Couples appreciate his relaxed approach, which helps even camera-shy guests feel comfortable and able to be themselves. How Matt works with couples is simple and personal. He favours clear communication and practical planning: from an initial chat (in person or by video) to discussing the timeline for your wedding day, he tailors his approach to suit your priorities. MD13 offers engagement photography as an option for couples who want a relaxed session before the big day — a great way to get to know Matt’s style and feel confident on-camera. On the day, Matt aims to be unobtrusive, blending into the celebration to capture candid moments while stepping forward at the right times for meaningful portraits. MD13 Photography is Derbyshire-based and happy to travel across the Midlands and beyond for weddings. While weddings are Matt’s core focus and specialty, he also provides portrait and family work as complementary services when needed. His commitment is to deliver honest, timeless photographs that couples will return to for years to come. Above all, MD13 is about storytelling through photography: professional, approachable, and dedicated to preserving the real emotions of your wedding day. If you’re planning a wedding in Burton upon Trent or the surrounding area and want wedding photography that feels authentic and personal, Matt would love to hear about your plans and help capture the moments you didn’t know you needed.
