Mathew Quake is a Hanworth-based wedding photographer specialising in natural, contemporary wedding photography. He blends in to capture honest, emotive moments that tell your day’s story.
Mathew Quake Photography is a specialist wedding photographer based in Hanworth, bringing a natural, contemporary eye to every wedding he shoots. Mat’s approach is rooted in storytelling — he looks for the unscripted, emotional moments that reveal the character of your day, from the quiet preparation to the joy-filled celebrations. If you want wedding photos that feel authentic rather than staged, Mat’s relaxed and unobtrusive style is designed to let your day unfold while he records it. On the wedding day Mat blends in like a guest, prioritising atmosphere and genuine expression over posed perfection. His experience across a wide range of venues and wedding sizes means he knows how to read light, anticipate moments, and move quietly to capture the tears, laughter and candid interactions that become the images couples treasure most. Mat’s photographs aim to be contemporary and timeless — edited thoughtfully to enhance light, colour and tone without looking over-processed. Working with Mat is collaborative and calm. He helps couples plan the photography side of the day so it runs smoothly and remains unobtrusive. If he hasn’t worked at a venue before he’ll arrange a visit to meet your planner or run through the best places to photograph you both. Communication and preparation are part of his process because great photography often starts long before the ceremony — with careful timing and an understanding of what matters to you. After the wedding Mat narrows down the collection to the strongest images and edits each frame to reflect his signature style. Couples receive a private online gallery to share with family and friends, and Mat aims to publish a highlights blog post within days and deliver the full collection shortly after. For those who want physical keepsakes, he offers beautiful presentation options and professional albums that make your images into heirloom pieces. If you’re looking for a dedicated Hanworth wedding photographer who values authenticity, calm professionalism and a documentary-led approach, Mat would love to hear about your plans.
