Matt Clarke Photography — Halesowen wedding photographer. With 15+ years’ experience Matt blends candid, photo‑journalistic storytelling and striking portraits to capture your wedding day.
Hi, I’m Matt — an award‑winning wedding photographer based in Halesowen, working across the West Midlands and the UK. For more than 15 years I’ve specialised entirely in wedding photography, developing a confident yet unobtrusive approach that lets the day breathe. I favour contemporary, photo‑journalistic and candid styles that capture genuine moments as they happen, balanced with creative portraits that give your album personality and punch. Why choose me? I photograph weddings the way they feel — relaxed, honest and occasionally a little bit fun. I bring a dose of banter and calm to the day so couples and guests feel at ease; that rapport shows through in images where smiles, stolen glances and joyful chaos are all captured naturally. My aim is to turn real emotions into timeless photographs that look distinctive and exciting without feeling over‑styled. My process is simple and personal. I take time to get to know each couple before the wedding so the day runs smoothly and I can capture the moments you care about most. On the day I work unobtrusively, photographing the story of your wedding from preparation through to first dance — catching both the big moments and the small, unscripted ones that make your day unique. When I do step in for portraits, it’s quick, relaxed and designed to produce stand‑out images you’ll be proud to display. I know the venues and rhythms of Worcestershire, Birmingham and the wider West Midlands, and I’m used to finding great light and locations that suit the mood of your day. Whether it’s atmospheric church shots, countryside grounds or contemporary reception spaces, I adapt my style to the setting while keeping a consistent, modern look across the full gallery. If you’re after professional wedding photography that prioritises real moments, confident storytelling and striking portraits — photographed by someone who genuinely enjoys the day — I’d love to hear about your plans. My approach is specialist, local to Halesowen and focused solely on creating wedding images that last a lifetime.
