Matthew Smith Photography LTD is a Bonnyrigg-based wedding specialist with a clear focus: telling your wedding day as it truly unfolded. Matthew’s approach is documentary-style — relaxed, natural and unobtrusive — so couples feel at ease and the images reflect genuine emotion rather than posed stiffness. If you want professional wedding photos that look and feel like your day, he’s the photographer for you. Why choose Matthew? He blends a calm, friendly presence with an eye for candid detail. Matthew describes himself as “not just a photographer” — he aims to put couples at ease, help the day flow smoothly and capture the small moments that matter. Whether it’s a quiet exchange before the ceremony, a spontaneous laugh with a friend or a stolen moment at sunset, his work focuses on authenticity and feeling. His story matters to the way he shoots. An outdoor enthusiast and mountain hiker, Matthew finds calm and clarity in nature — a sensibility that informs his photographic style. Married and family-minded, he understands the rhythms of a wedding day and values warmth, humour and human connection. That personal perspective helps him create images that feel timeless and true to your relationship. How he works: From first contact to the final gallery, Matthew keeps the experience straightforward and personable. Initial enquiries are met with clear, friendly communication and a chance to meet in person or via video call to break the ice. On the day he blends into the background, offering a helping hand when needed and staying attentive to real moments rather than forcing staged poses. The result is a wedding gallery full of natural emotion, atmosphere and honest storytelling. While weddings are his core speciality, Matthew also offers engagement and family sessions to help couples feel comfortable in front of the camera before the big day. For couples seeking both photo and film, he partners with trusted videographers on combined packages — always positioning wedding photography as his primary craft. Serving Bonnyrigg, Edinburgh and across GB, Matthew Smith Photography LTD brings a calm, experienced and documentary-led approach to wedding photography. If you want professional wedding photos that capture the feeling of your day — relaxed, authentic and beautifully composed — Matthew would love to hear your story.
