Matthew Grainger Photography is a Radcliffe-based specialist wedding photographer dedicated to capturing the real moments that make each celebration unique. Matthew approaches every wedding with a storytelling mindset: he looks for the small, unscripted interactions as well as the decisive moments that tell the story of your day. The result is a collection of professional wedding photos that feel honest, emotive and timeless. Why choose Matthew? He focuses squarely on wedding photography and engagement work, treating your day with the attention and craft it deserves. His style blends unobtrusive documentary coverage with considered portraiture, so couples enjoy relaxed, natural images alongside memorable formal and bridal shots. Whether you’re planning an intimate registry ceremony or a larger celebration across Greater Manchester and the wider GB area, Matthew’s calm presence helps guests feel at ease while he documents the atmosphere and emotion. How he works: Matthew places relationship and collaboration at the centre of the process. Before the wedding he listens to your priorities and gets a clear sense of the moments you care most about. On the day he adopts a low-key, respectful approach — moving discreetly through the crowd to capture candid interactions, then guiding couples into gentle, expressive portraits when the time is right. This balance keeps your day flowing naturally while ensuring a comprehensive visual record. Although wedding photography is his primary focus, Matthew also offers supplementary video and event coverage on request. These secondary services are offered to complement the photographic story when couples want a fuller record of their day, but his core expertise remains wedding imagery. Above all, Matthew is driven by a passion for people and storytelling. His work aims to give couples wedding photos they genuinely love — images they will return to for years, full of feeling and detail. If you’re looking for a wedding day photographer in Radcliffe who prioritises authenticity, calm professionalism and timeless imagery, Matthew Grainger Photography specialises in creating that lasting visual legacy.
