Wedding Photographer Nottingham Swancar Farm wedding venue

kim & Jamie’s wedding at Swancar Farm

Here’s the highlights from an awesome wedding at Swancar Farm! After initially meeting with Kim & Jamie to discuss their wedding at Swancar Farm, it was clear I was going to be capturing an awesome wedding, with two great people who clearly have a lot of love for each other.

Kim & Jamie’s wedding had that touch of class, from the Groomsmen in tailored blue suits with brown tan shoes to the Bride in a stunning fitted dress with Jimmy Choo shoes. They also had a couple of pretty sweet Merc’s – including the Mercedes-Benz S500 Cabriolet (as seen below)

The day was filled with plenty of love and laughter and the weather played ball! It was also a wedding at Swancar Farm where I pushed myself to get something different and create some unique images. The evening shots with the bride and groom were a pleasure to capture. With the newly harvested crop field on offer and some dramatic atmospheric night shots under the Pergola.

Information & advice from the newly-weds.

How long have you been together: We’ve been together just over 6 years and met on a drunken night out. A few cheeky chat up lines, some dodgy dancing and I managed to get Kim’s number.

Any stories or tales from the proposal: During a romantic meal at home and I was going to put the ring on the dessert but I was most surprised Kim said she didn’t want dessert that night!

Reasons for choosing your venue: We looked at A lot of venues, Kim saw Swancar farm online and booked a viewing she fell in love with it. One thing that stood out from the others was the variety of rooms and the fact the ceremony room was separate from the main oak hall. Many venues you have to leave the rooms whilst they change it for the ceremony to wedding breakfast etc.

Colour scheme/theme/style: The colour scheme was ivory (to match the dress) blush pink and rose gold. We liked the soft and neutral pallet.

Any special thoughts/memories from the day: The whole day was fantastic the staff at Swancar were excellent making sure everything went to plan and couldn’t do enough for us.

Any advice for couples planning a wedding: Save plenty lol. Follow your heart everything is achievable and don’t strive for perfection. Make the most of day as it goes VERY Quick. Remember the day is about the two of you. The day, the food, the venue, the hair, make-up, dress, suits etc it’s all what you want as a couple, not everyone else it’s your wedding day.

The most amazing pictures!! After starting a google search for local photographers we knew we wanted someone to create those breath taking shots. We came across Matts website and knew these were the types of images we wanted of our day. The one thing you get to take away from your wedding is the images, we love the candid nature of our photos, capturing those little moments without the pressure of having a camera in your face all day. Matt and Christian were simply amazing. Matt could tell I was nervous and that I wasnt keen on having my picture taken but he managed to get some incredible shots of us. He was so personable and manged to make us all laugh. It was like we had known him for years. He managed to capture all the little details of the day, people having fun, some incredible dancing skills from our quests and some beautiful moments of us taking time for ourselves. We were very excited to go and see our images. It had been a couple of weeks since the big day and we really wanted to relive it. It was such an emotional experience. We loved how every little detail was captured, what our tables looked like, the flowers, the dress, all the things I didnt really think would need photographing but now seem so important. Thank you so much for capturing our day!

We received our wedding photos from Matt this weekend, less than 4 weeks after our lovely February wedding. We have had a fabulous experience with Matt (and the superb Christian) from start to finish. Matt is a great communicator and began the process by meeting with us to go through some of his work and make sure his style was a good fit for us. We fell in love with Matt’s photos the moment we first saw them, and his bold, dynamic style and was a great fit for us. In fact, his helpful blog from previous brides and grooms inspired many of the supplier choices we made for our day! Matt and Christian made us feel so at ease on our day. We were confident every step of the way that they’d got great photos - but also had good fun with them because they’re both cool dudes! We could not have asked for a better experience and we have beautiful memories that we will treasure forever. The photos are absolutely stunning and really deliver those ‘wow’ shots as well as some beautiful, candid moments. It’s clear that Matt is not only really passionate about photography: we felt he also tried to understand what was important to us and make sure that was captured every step of the way. Thank you so much, Matt, it has been an absolute blast!

We loved Matt’s work from our first look at his website, his use of light is beautiful. On the day, Matt and Christian were great and put everyone at ease. Everyone commented how friendly they were, and they had a discrete presence throughout the day, capturing candid moments. The photos are breath-taking, and we cannot wait to get the album. There is not much more to say, Matt was great, and we cannot recommend him highly enough!

Matt did an incredible job at capturing our special day and we couldn’t recommend him enough! Right from the initial meeting and throughout the entire process since we booked him, Matt has been brilliant and helped us with any questions we had. We were able to plan our day with him, and the day itself went so smoothly with him and Martin getting those perfect shots. Matt was with me from the morning so we were able to get plenty of getting ready photos. He and Martin both stayed right into the evening and got a lot of natural shots of us and our guests. Matt had a lot of great ideas on where we should stand or what we should do so that we could get the perfect shot, as well as bringing to life any ideas we may have had. We got the photos back really quickly too. Overall we are so pleased with how the photos have turned out and we are so glad we chose Matt to capture our day. Matt is a really nice guy and an incredible photographer and we couldn’t recommend him enough.

5 Star Service - From our first consultation with Matt we knew we were in good hands and all our needs would be met, Matt listened to us, made us feel at ease and explained everything and answered all our questions. On the day we could not have asked for more from Matt or Christian - we didn't even know they were there, everyone felt comfortable and really personalised our day by capturing all our special touches to loved ones who are no longer with us :) We cannot recommend Matt enough - Thank you for capturing our perfect day in such a special way - Mr & Mrs Ward :)

After reviewing a number of photographers online we visited and Matt and knew straight away he was the one for us. Matt and Christian shot our wedding in May and they joined us for the whole day and well in to the evening. They captured all the beautiful moments and we love the candid ones that we missed on the day. The photos are absolutely stunning and they have certainly delivered those 'WOW' shots. On the day both were accommodating and flexible with what we wanted, it felt so natural. If you're considering Matt as your photographer, I would definitely recommend him.

We picked Matt to photograph our wedding in March after a google search and a look through his portfolio. From day one, he made everything so easy. From booking, to deposit’s, to the day itself. Matt kept in touch with us and answered any questions we had before the day. We had a planning meeting a few weeks before the big day so we could ensure everything went off without a hitch. On the day itself, Matt and his colleague Christian were an absolute pleasure to have around! It was like having two extra mates with us on our wedding day! As the bride, please don’t underestimate how important this is (groom too!). The photographers are with you during intimate moments of your day. It’s so important whomever you choose, you’re 100% comfortable with. It’s a personal thing but we loved Matt’s style of photography. We did minimal posed photo’s, the vast majority we did was candid which meant Matt and Christian captured some amazing natural moments and we didn’t spend hours of day posing and being dragged away from our guests. We were able to just enjoy our wedding. We did a handful of posed photos which maybe took us away for 15 minutes. The photos themselves are incredible. We got the gallery back last week and I’ve been through them so many times. They’re just beautiful. Please make sure you look through Matt’s portfolio. I'll upload one of ours here - but you must have a look at the portfolio. I’d like to thank Matt and Christian for their invaluable contribution too our day. I can’t wait to see the album!

Choosing a photographer to capture your wedding day is one of the most important decisions to make during the planning process. After the wedding is over all you have are the memories... and photos that capture all the special moments. For us, picking Matt as our photographer was the best decision. We're so grateful for the beautiful photos we now have to look back on the day. When we saw Matt's website we knew we would get some awesome photos - and boy were we right. Matt and Christian captured every special moment so beautifully. We felt so at ease with them. Our guests commented on how great Matt and Christian were and they slotted into our day brilliantly. Throughout the planning process Matt was always friendly, approachable and helpful. We cannot thank you enough for giving us such amazing photos that we can cherish forever and remind us of our big day.

After looking for wedding photographers and finding a lot of the same we came across Matt whose photos stood out and told a story of people's wedding day. After meeting Matt we instantly liked his style and Matt him self. His partner who supported Matt was brilliant and both worked great together and were very professional. At the wedding they made it feel comfortable and easy to take amazing natural shots to tell the story of our wedding. We can not recommend Matt more and we thank him for our amazing photos.

Matt and Christian were both amazing, they put us and the guest at ease and most of the time we didn't even know they were there. Matt clearly has a keen eye for getting the perfect picture and our wedding photographs will be treasured forever, we've had so many comments of how amazing they are. Wedding photography is always a big cost, but no doubt Matt's prices could be three times as much and I would happily pay it time and time again. Cannot recommend his services enough. So so happy with everything he has done for us. :)

If you’re looking for a wedding photographer then Matt is your guy! From start to end I couldn’t fault the service he provided. What lured us in is how down to earth, relaxed and friendly Matt is. We didn’t want a load of staged pictures, but more natural ones of us mingling with friends and family and it’s safe to say he understood the assignment. The communication in the run up to the event was fantastic and I couldn’t believe how unobtrusive Matt and his colleague Will were on the day. They made the run of things feel effortless and it’s just what we wanted. We’ve only had a a couple of shots back so far which have blown us away, I cannot wait to see the rest. Thanks Matt and Will!!

I cannot recommend Matt enough, he was brilliant on our wedding day and there was not a single photo he took that we didn’t like. Through the whole process Matt has always been friendly, approachable & understanding especially when we had to change out wedding date due to covid. Before the wedding Matt really took the time to understand what sort of photo’s we wanted from our day and I can honestly say his photo’s are even better than we envisioned.

We hired Matt to be our wedding photographer and are so glad that we did. Matt was with us from Bridal prep until the party late in the evening (he stayed past the first dance & cake cutting to capture some dance/party pics). Matt and his 2nd shooter Will were excellent, managing to take photos without being intrusive during the service and reception. In the run up to the wedding Matt made sure to check in and confirm whether there were any specific photos we really wanted to capture. Instead of having a dedicated time for photos in the wedding timeline, Matt would grab us at the right moments to capture some shots which kept up the flow of the day. Matt was happy for guests to grab him throughout the day to capture any photos and it was great to see so many group shots when we looked through the finished pictures. Matt and Will were great fun throughout the day, they gave our guests clear instructions and had a clear creative vision for the shots they wanted to capture. The finished photos are absolutely stunning and there are so many incredible shots that we have struggled to pick favourites. Matt’s storytelling photography style is just beautiful and we have so many gorgeous shots from the different parts of the day. He did an incredible job of capturing split second candid moments that bring back memories of the day. We received our finished photos about a month after the wedding and Matt sent clear instructions along with a link to a personalised website containing all our shots. There was a link that we could share with our guests that would allow them to view the images. We also received a selection of our photos as physical prints and a magnet along with some sweets. Picking Matt as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made and we would 100% recommend him to anyone in search of a professional photographer for an event.

We booked with Matt back in January 2019, after 2 cancelled dates we finally had our wedding. Matt has been nothing but accommodating, he changed our first 2 dates, worked around us, changed venues and has been nothing short of fantastic!! His communication has been brilliant, he has been sympathetic to our circumstances and wonderful to work with. He has really gone above and beyond for us, and we cannot thank him enough. During our day he kept us so relaxed and worked around our schedule. He was efficient and productive, and the results speak volumes!! Our pictures are beautiful and perfect! The trust we had in Matt shone through his work and commitment to our wedding. His eye to detail was impeccable and you can really tell Matt is passionate about what he does. We are in love with our wedding pictures and Matt really caught some impressive and stunning pictures. I highly recommend Matt to anyone, his work really is remarkable.

We can't thank matt enough for capturing our wedding day for us the photos are absolutely outstanding and so magical he is such an incredible photographer and the photos are so natural and different he really captures magical moments and extra special photos in such a creative way to make some phonemonal photos. Matt as been amazing to work with from beginning to end he's so professional. We have had to postpone our wedding 3 times and as been so supportive throughout the process and done everything he could to help and support us throughout this difficult and upsetting process. He makes you feel so relaxed and comfortable. He really puts you at ease. He really goes out of his way to do anything he can for you and makes you feel as relaxed and special as he possible can. He as been such a pleasure to work with and we are so over the moon with the work he did and the photos he captured of our wedding day. We can't recommend him enough to anyone he captures the most phonemonal photos and is a pleasure to be around and I can't excess how relaxed and comfortable him and his partner made us feel on the day, we are both quite nervous people at having our photos taken and being centre of attention but they really put us at ease and made so relaxed. We truly can't thankyou enough for everything Many thanks Mr and Mrs Searby

To Matt and Christian, From the bottom of our hearts…thank you. Just seeing the fireworks photo has set me off crying, again! We can’t wait to see all of the other photos. You were both absolutely amazing from beginning to end; and Matt, this includes all of the planning beforehand too. You made us all feel so comfortable and you gave us exactly what we wanted. Christian, Tom has told me how amazing you were at our house; he absolutely loved the shots you set things up for. I’m sure Tom would have been stressed, nervous and panicking trying to get the boys ready, I know the twins aren’t easy, but you weren’t pulling your hair out so congratulations on surviving a morning at the mad house! Matt, you survived the day with the girls…you deserve a medal! I honestly couldn’t of asked for anything better. You gave us the shots we had been imagining and more. How you handled everything was nothing short of phenomenal. You guys work amazing together; you have a massive level of professionalism but remain calm throughout. I don’t know how you do it, especially with stress heads like me! We absolutely loved working with both of you, and we have had a lot of compliments from our guests about the pair of you. I would always recommend you to anyone in need of a photographer. Again, I can’t say enough words to describe how grateful we are to the both of you. Thank you, for everything. Love from Vicki and Tom Pick xxx

We had the pleasure of having Matt and his second photographer Christian photograph our wedding at Colwick Hall Hotel. We were impressed with the photographs we had viewed online of Matts work and from first meeting at his studios we knew he was the best person to help capture our special day. He was friendly, professional and persoanable throughout the whole experience and Christian was also a pleasure to work with. They both blended seamlessly into our who Day. For most of the part we didn't even know they were there but the photographs proved they were both snapping away all day. The standard and quality of the photographs blew us away and the viewing session after the ceremony where we first viewed our pictures is an experience we will never forget. I cannot recommend and thank both Matt and Christian for their work. Thank you.

Matt photographed our wedding at the beginning of October. From the moment we first met Matt, we instantly warmed to him, very friendly and easy to get along with. on the run up to the wedding, Matt was always contactable with any questions or suggestions we had. On the day, Matt along with his assistant Gareth arrived at the venue and instantly fit in with the day. Throughout the day they made it fun having out photos taken and put us all at ease. this has resulted in our amazing wedding photos which show the happiness and love that we felt on the day. The vision that Matt has is amazing and the story of our day has been captured magnificently. After the wedding we have been provided with an amazing blog and beautifully presented USB. Now comes the difficult task of choosing our wedding album! If your looking for a photographer to capture your wedding, this is the guy to choose!

Professional, friendly and creative! What more can you want from your wedding photographer. From start to finish, Matt worked tirelessly to ensure that our memories of our special day were of a top quality. Nothing was too much trouble and he fit in very well with our friends and family. His communication throughout the planning process was second to none and he demonstrated a real love for photography. Thank you for everything you have done to help us remember our special day.

Matt is an absolutely fabulous wedding photographer! We met Matt at a wedding fair at our venue, we felt like we immediately hit it off so organised an initial meeting. This was great as it meant both sides knew we wanted the same things. Matt was great to have around of the day, super friendly, unobtrusive, but great at getting people organised for the perfect shots! We have the most beautiful gallery that captures all the candid joy and some fantastic posed shots that are just stunning. If you are looking for someone who will capture all the special moments and create some beautiful one of a kind shots - Matt is your guy!

Matt was exceptional throughout our wedding photography experience. He made time for us, was excellent in contacting over email and still is! He made people feel at ease and got some beautiful shots on the day. We feel it is a spot on price for the service and you would pay more for less quality. We cant wait to find time now to look at our photos again to make our album with Matt.

Matt photographed our wedding at the Peak Edge Hotel, Derbyshire in November. We liked Matt's work and the photos were great. A lovely mixture of formal and relaxed shots. He also spoke to us about some off-site photos and we agreed to a quick trip to local moors. It was well worth it, particularly as we really wanted some countryside images. Matt worked with an assistant, Christian who was also great and together they were able to capture different angles / moments. We'd definitely recommend Matt if you're looking for a wedding photographer.

It was great working with Matt. He was easy to communicate with, very professional and the 360 virtual tour he did looked great with a fast turn around. Highly recommend.

I couldn’t of asked for anything more off Matt as our wedding photographer. The photos which he has produced for us are absolutely amazing and I get a tear in my eye when I look back on our photos. He has captured us and our guests when we are looking natural and they have come out fabulously as they tell the emotions of how we felt on the day. We didn’t feel awkward or like we was on a photo shoot everything felt really relaxed and he blended into the background to take the most intimate of photos. Matt, thank you so much for capturing our day, I am so pleased that we picked you as our wedding photographer, the photos will be timeless and in 50 years time they will bring me right back to the day.

We have used Matt several times for family shoots - we would not use any other photographer! He is fantastic with children - captures beautiful natural shots. He is confident with a large group of kids too (we have a large family) The kids love him! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We chose Matt as our wedding photographer through numerous recommendations! We also had our engagement shoot with him! After working with him twice he made us feel so comfortable and at ease. He’s so lovely to work with and also having his second photographer with us, Christian, they both worked together so well and professional! The standard of their work is impeccable and I would highly recommend him to anyone! Even the standard after the event is great! Our viewing session of our photos was so nice!! Can’t wait to see our album! Thankyou so much guys, you captured our day better than we could of wished for!!!!

Absolutely brilliant, the photos look beautiful, matt and the other photographer just slot into our day, you wouldn't have know they were there. Some funny yet beautiful action shots of guests dancing. They captured every moment ❤️ would recommend them 100 times over.

Matt photographed my graduation, together with my family, on my campus. The photos turned out really amazing, a mix of posed shoots and candid ones which reflected the emotions of that day really well! I really enjoy looking at the photos and re-live in the memories of that day. Even prior to the shoot, Matt took effort to call me over the phone for a quick chat in spite of his busy schedule. If I were to go back to UK again and would like a photoshoot, I will definitely look for Matt again! Thank you Matt :)

If we could give more starts we would! Both Matt and Christian were amazing, very professional, made us feel at ease. Nothing was forced or staged. We've recently received the photos form Matt and they are amazing, so much more than we were expecting. memories captured to last a lifetime. Can't thank you both enough!

We booked Matt for our wedding and were so glad we did. Matt was incredible from day 1. We found ourselves in the early days cancelling our venue so attempted to cancel Matt which would mean we lost the deposit. Matt was amazing, he wouldn’t let us knee jerk and cancel and said ‘hang fire you may find somewhere else’ and we did, so we didn’t lose our deposit. Matt kept in touch with Zoom meetings and had a really good idea of what we wanted. On the day I was really anxious about having photographers around. However after the first 5 minutes I’d forgot all about them.. In a good way! Matt and Christian were like part of our friends and family on the day. Our guest commented on how friendly they were and just how they were generally great guys. Polite and professional at all times. My sons are autistic, and I was really worried about how they’d be on the day. Matt was really patient and helped to keep my youngest occupied and out of the frame while I was having my photo taken . Relieving so much stress for me. The photos we’ve seen so far look amazing and I can’t wait to see the rest. Were not photogenic either so the natural not forced posing was perfect for us. I actually ended up having so much fun doing the photos. It was an October wedding and got chilly later on. Matt even gave me his jacket to help stop my lips turning blue! We took some great photos with smoke cannons and sparklers too, we captured everything I wanted. Matt made sure to check in before he left to see if there was anything else we wanted. There wasn’t he had covered everything. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Matts services. You won’t regret it. These are two of the nicest and friendliest guys you could have at your wedding. I think our guests liked them more than us :)

Matt was really helpful in scanning some slides from the 1960's and for digitising them. He also took some very old photographs and digitised and printed them out - including a victorian photograph which he tidied away the damage caused by years of light on the photo rendering detail viewable again. Matt took on this unusual job and results are very pleasing - so thank you Matt.
