Folkestone-based wedding specialist capturing candid, storytelling images of your wedding day. Matt Trott offers relaxed, unobtrusive coverage and can also assist with engagement shoots.
Matt Trott Photography is a Folkestone-based wedding specialist dedicated to telling the real story of your wedding day. Matt’s approach is rooted in candid, documentary-led photography: he looks for the small, honest moments—the laughter between speeches, the quiet glance during vows, the chaotic joy on the dancefloor—and records them with clarity and care. That natural, unobtrusive style helps couples feel relaxed and present rather than performing for the camera. Why choose Matt? With a focus on wedding work as his primary expertise, he brings consistent experience across Kent and the wider UK, backed by a reputation for calm, confident coverage. He blends documentary instincts with considered portrait moments so you get a collection that feels both authentic and beautifully composed. His priority is to capture emotion and atmosphere, creating images that still transport you back to how the day felt. How he works is simple and personal. Matt starts with a conversation to understand what matters most to you—timings, family dynamics, the parts of the day you want preserved. On the day he aims to be discreet yet present, moving through the wedding as another friendly face rather than an interruption. For portraits he uses gentle direction to shape pleasing, natural images without interrupting the flow of your day. For couples who want engagement photography, he offers relaxed pre-wedding shoots to build rapport and make the wedding-day camera experience feel familiar. Although weddings are his core specialism, Matt also accepts occasional family and maternity sessions and can provide video as an additional service when available. These options are offered in a supporting role to his wedding work and are arranged to suit each family’s needs. Above all, Matt is driven by a love of people and storytelling. He cares about delivering a gallery that feels true to you—images that families will return to for years to come. If you’re planning a Folkestone, Kent or UK wedding and want a photographer who prioritises authenticity, calm professionalism and thoughtful storytelling, Matt Trott is focused on capturing your day as it really happens.
