MaddenVallis Photography

MaddenVallis Photography are specialists in wedding photography based in Halifax, GB. Founded by Matt Madden and Kim Vallis in 2010 out of a love for photojournalism, their work focuses on capturing the real, unscripted moments that make each wedding unique. If you want wedding photos that feel genuine, romantic and quietly powerful, MaddenVallis bring a steady, experienced eye and a warm, unobtrusive presence to your day. Why choose MaddenVallis? Their signature “romantic and candid” style blends clean composition and beautiful light with a documentary approach. Rather than staging dozens of forced poses, Matt & Kim look for the small gestures and fleeting expressions that reveal a couple’s true connection. The result is a gallery of images that reads like a story—emotional, timeless and personal—created with sensitivity and a clear visual aesthetic. What makes their approach special is the balance between artistry and ease. They aim to be adventurous when the moment calls for it, yet invisible when the best images come from natural interaction. Couples often comment on how comfortable their guests felt and how relaxed the whole process was—MaddenVallis work to make the photography an enjoyable part of the wedding day, not a distraction from it. How they work: every wedding begins with a conversation. Matt & Kim take time to understand your priorities and the flow of your day so they can focus on what matters most. On the wedding day they move seamlessly between documentary coverage and thoughtful portrait moments, always keeping the atmosphere light with gentle guidance and simple posing tips. They deliver a short sneak-peek gallery quickly after the event so you can relive highlights, then a full online gallery of edited images that preserves the emotion and detail of your celebration. Driven by a passion for storytelling, MaddenVallis treat each wedding as a custom art piece. They travel for weddings and bring the same dedication to every celebration, whether intimate or grand.
