We booked a family photo shoot with Matthew Anthony photography for my mum’s special birthday and all I can say is wow! The service and communication we received was exceptional, Matthew was so friendly and put even the most self-conscious of us at ease! The photos were absolutely beautiful. Such precious memories made - would highly recommend!

Fiona & Family

The photos are beautiful

We booked a family session with Matt because of his photography style - natural without the fussiness of overly posed/edited shots. The experience was great, Matt’s easy going personality made it feel like we were joined by a friend/family on our usual weekend walk. We love the images that he has captured and would book again in the future.

Rashmi & Family

The experience was great!

We booked Matthew after I reviewed his portfolio and really liked his relaxed family style which was exactly the vibe I wanted for our shoot. Matthew was accommodating to a location change and a potential date change due to child illness. Not only was he wonderful beforehand he was fantastic on the day also. Taking time to make us feel comfortable and including the dogs within our shoot. They say never work with children or animals but Matthew did so with such ease. Thank you!

Alice & Family

Matt was fantastic

We booked a family photo shoot at Elvaston Castle in Derbyshire for my parents' Golden wedding anniversary. Matthew was fantastic and the whole afternoon was very laidback and chilled just taking lots of natural photos of us all. The results were amazing particularly some lovely action shots of all the children in colour and black and white. If you're looking for a photographer for some natural family photos this is your guy!

Nicola & Family

Matthew was fantastic

Matt was amazing to work with, professional, easygoing, and really knows his stuff. He got the perfect mix of posed and candid shots, and captured my son’s cheeky personality perfectly. Couldn’t be happier with the photos!

Kelly & Ollie

Couldn't be happier

Matthew did a brilliant job taking photos of our multi-generational family. As a group of 16 he managed to keep all the children and adults at ease and capture some beautiful memories. We had such a lovely time on our walk with him and will treasure the photos forever! We would highly recommend Matthew!

Katharine & Family

we had a lovely time

Matthew was brilliant to deal with from the first enquiry. Excellent communication, very flexible and adaptable when a storm prevented our initial booking from going ahead. A nice guy who put us at ease, and even eventually got a smile out of a reluctant 2 year old. His style is exactly what we were looking for and he certainly delivered. We're delighted with our photos. Thank you

Matt & Family

We're delighted!

Matthew was incredibly friendly, relaxed and professional. Despite our 1 year old being a bit grumpy, he took lots of beautiful pictures that we will treasure forever! Thanks so much Matthew, can’t recommend you enough!

Chloe & Family

Incredibly friendly

Matthew is an excellent photographer! He's a thoroughly nice guy and he made us feel incredibly comfortable having photos taken with our newborn son. The photos came out superbly well. We couldn't recommend him enough. Additionally, Matthew edited our pictures incredibly quickly and they were with us in a few days.

Joseph & Family

thoroughly nice guy!

We booked a shoot with Matthew when we found out that our dog Delilah had become ill- we really wanted to capture photos of us together as a family that we would always be able to look back on and cherish. Matthew was brilliant during the shoot and understood exactly what we were looking for. The photos came out fantastic, so much so that we purchased all of them. Thank you Matthew for capturing the love we had for Delilah - these photos are priceless to us! Rebecca & Rob.

We love the photos!

Reached out to Matthew after looking through his website & finding his style was suited to my family over a studio and I'm so glad I did. We had a really lovely relaxed enjoyable shoot with Matthew and now have a beautiful collection of photos that we will treasure for a lifetime

Amy & Family

Treasure for a lifetime

We love our photos!! Matthew was brilliant, from responding extremely quickly from first contact to keeping in contact and updating us about when we would receive the photos. On the day, he made us feel at ease with having our photos taken and went at our children's pace. The pricing is very reasonable and well worth the money to have these photos as a keepsake!

Rebecca & Family

Pricing very reasonable

The photos are just incredible, we ended up upgrading because we little couldn’t choose a few! Honestly BOOK the session, you will not regret it. It was definitely child led with my little girl who loves to explore, and he was so friendly and relaxed with posing and just an all round nice and genuine person! So grateful for the memories that have been captured for our family, they really do mean a lot to us. Thank-you so so much!

Lauren & Family

Just incredible!

We had the pleasure of having Matt take our family photos. It was a fun day out with our children and pooch. And most importantly, we love the photos which came along! They looked wonderful!

Sydney & Family

A fun day out

We booked Matthew for a family shoot at one of our favourite woodlands. We'd not long had a baby and had tried a staged studio shoot (with another company) and whilst we loved them (because they had our daughter in) they didn't reflect us or capture her cheekiness and we felt very awkward posing. Matthew made us feel so comfortable and relaxed right from the start. He managed to capture some beautiful photos of us all without them feeling forced or posed. He's also managed to capture our daughters personality beautifully.

Ashleigh & Family

comfortable and relaxed

Matthew was wonderful from first contact.
Never left me waiting and was quick to respond to any questions I had. On the day off the photos he made us feel at ease and the whole experience was natural and enjoyable. We didn't have to wait long for the photos to be edited and they have come our beautifully. Would highly recommend Matthew for your professional photos. I also thought his pricing was affordable and fair.

Sophie & Family

Matthew was wonderful

We had the best experience with Matthew Anthony Photography. Firstly Matthew was very accommodating to our family when we asked to postpone our photoshoot due to illness. During the photoshoot Matthew made us feel really relaxed and chilled and took so many beautiful photos. He found some wonderful spots and took a great amount of both natural and posed shots. Definitely booking another photoshoot in a few years time with Matthew!
