The Current Wedding Roadmap

14/5/2021

0 Comments

 
Picture

I thought I should write a short post about the current situation with weddings and where we're at because, if you look at the current government guidelines, it is a bit of a minefield of vague and ambiguous statements. Couples who originally scheduled in their big day for this summer with a hefty dose of confidence are no doubt feeling fairly anxious about their big days and whether their plans line-up with all the "rules". Add in all the current chat of "Indian variants" and the media's selected quotes from SAGE scientists about perhaps pumping the brakes on relaxing restrictions, then couples and suppliers alike are left scratching their heads and wondering what on earth to do. 


​I'm going to put a link to the official government guidance here so you can take the time to go through it and digest at your leisure. Pay particular attention to the sections on eating and entertainment/dancing. There is also a liberal scattering of words like "must" (which means its enforceable by law) and "should" which means it isn't. When you compare it with the relaxation of other restrictions around the country in other sectors, its a frustrating read to say the least. 

 In a nutshell, here's where we're at right now:

       Step 3: 17th May (at the earliest)
  • Up to 30 allowed at a ceremony/reception at a Covid-secure venue indoors or outdoors (including private gardens for receptions)
  • Weddings can now take place indoors but only in a COVID secure venue 
  • Weddings can take place outdoors in COVID secure venues and in private gardens 
  • No social distancing is required between guests when seated at tables
  • Masks do not need to be worn when outside, but do need to be worn when inside other than when eating or drinking
  • Live performances are permitted but dancing is advised against and dancefloors must remain closed

    Step 4: 21st June (at the earliest): The government aims to remove all restrictions on weddings, subject to the outcome of the social distancing review and the Events Research Programme. 

You've all waited such a long time to have your perfect days, you've postponed or cancelled and rebooked only to have the rug pulled from underneath you yet again. The lack of clarity and information from the government has been woeful and words like "at the earliest" don't help to alleviate any of those worries. At this point all we can do is trust that the steps laid out are achievable and that we will get back to normal sooner rather than later.

​If you want to stay up to date with what is happening then I strongly recommend that you follow The UK Weddings Taskforce on Instagram (@uk_weddingsorg) #WeddingsTaskForce as they have been 
campaigning tirelessly on behalf of all couples and suppliers within the wedding industry to get clearer and more definitive answers from the government as to what can and can't be done and their vision out of this lockdown.

From a personal point of view, I am making a lot of bookings for 2022 and beyond and receiving lots of enquiries so it would seem that couples are holding fire on 2021 so that they can have the wedding they want with confidence at a later date. If you're planning your wedding for 2022 and have yet to think about photography then do please drop me a line, it would be great to chat!

Here's to Letting loose!

30/4/2021

"C'mon, c'mon let go
Lose your blues
Everybody cut Footloose"

I don't know about you but I miss dance floors. The energy, laughter, craziness and noise, it's the best part of a wedding or party. All the formal stuff is out of the way and now it's time to cut loose and go a little crazy, lose the inhibitions and get lost in the music and the moment.

Capturing these moments is a huge part of a wedding or party for me, it encapsulates everything about the coming together of friends. Forget about your troubles, leave your worries at the door and just be free for a couple of hours. Its the best feeling, I can see it on peoples faces. The pictures don't lie. The joy and the moment is there for all to see. 

We're getting back to normal, weddings and parties as we know it are going to happen again and I want to be there with you, capturing the moment you let it all go. So, here's to all you crazies, dance floor loons and bonkers brides with your buddies - see you out there soon! 

I cover the Home Counties and beyond and I'm still taking bookings for later this year and have some availability for 2022, if you're interested in capturing your friends in all their dance floor glory then give me a call!

Love in the Time of Covid: The Micro-Wedding

15/10/2020

0 Comments

 
Thanks to some, quite frankly, absurd rules laid out by the government as to how many people can attend a wedding, couples are once again finding their plans thrown into disarray. From rearranging to downsizing, to cancelling and then having to downsize further, the goal posts are constantly shifting and no-one knows whether they are coming or going. We are all in the dark. However, it is now becoming apparent that couples are now embracing the concept of the micro-wedding. Now, it's not quite a "phoenix rising from the ashes of what used to be the wedding industry" scenario and it might not be what couples originally hoped for but it what it does mean is that the ceremony becomes ever more intimate and personal, you have more time to enjoy being in the moment and of course there's the plus-side of being able to keep your costs down where once they were threatening to explode. Plus there's always the promise of a rip-roaring party on the horizon as and when this pandemic finally fizzles out. Also, by still using suppliers like florists, make-up artists etc. you'll be keeping all the vital cogs that make up the wedding industry afloat as they struggle to get by with no help from the government.  
​
With this micro-wedding concept in mind, I've tailored my coverage and fee to fit in with your plans. So, if you're at the point where you're thinking "enough is enough, we're not being messed around any further, let's get married!" then do 
get in touch and we can talk through your plans. It might just be a decision that in years to come, you'll be glad you took. 

​For now though, if you're still having doubts about going ahead then I'll leave you with this fabulous quote from Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows: Part 1...


​                          Ginny: Seems silly, doesn't it? A wedding. Given everything that's going on.

                  Harry: Maybe that's the best reason to have it. Because of everything that's going on. 



​Stay safe. 

​Matt

Leap Year and the peculiarity of popping the question

28/2/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
This year has the distinct pleasure of being a leap year. To the uninitiated this means that the month of February has an extra day in it (something to do with how long the earth takes to orbit the sun and the calendar having to play a bit of catch up. I don’t know, I could be wrong but its sounds convincing, right?)
 
Much like the World Cup, the Olympics or the cleaning of my car, this event only takes place every 4 years. But did you know that the day also has a peculiar wedding related tradition tied to it? Apparently, when it’s a leap day (the 29th February) tradition dictates that a woman may propose to her suitor. Now, whilst woman are definitely capable of asking a man for his hand in marriage whenever she so pleases, traditionally in Ireland, this right was reserved particularly for a leap year. Why though? Where does this tradition come from? 
 
It is said that the tradition originated in 5th century Ireland when St. Brigid of Kildare complained to St Patrick that women had to wait far too long for men to propose (it’s fair to say that she probably hadn’t had much luck with men). Legend has it that St Patrick, probably wishing for a quiet life, decreed that women could propose on this one day in February during the leap year. The legend then goes on to say that on hearing this decree, St. Brigid dropped to her knee and instantly proposed to St Patrick. No doubt a little taken aback by surprise, Patrick declined her offer but he did give her a kiss on the cheek and a silk gown to soften the blow. How Brigid took this refusal, I’m not sure. But a silk gown is not to be sniffed at so hopefully she was pretty cool about it. 
 
In other European countries, this tradition evolved somewhat and, in the upper classes of society especially, tradition dictated that any man who refused a woman’s proposal on the 29th had to buy her 12 pairs of gloves. Why 12, I don't know. Owning that many pairs of gloves seems a little excessive and hopefully, in  today’s society, something like an Amazon voucher would suffice, certainly in terms of practicality. 
 
There you have it then. That is the leap year proposal. There was even a terrible film made about it (I hesitate to use the word comedy) starring Amy Adams (don’t check it out, it’s 2 hours of your life you’ll never get back.) In the spirit of tradition though, I think it’s actually quite a fun idea. So, if you do propose to your man on the 29th Feb and, instead of wondering what you’re going to do with a new silk gown or 12 pairs of gloves, you may actually find yourself having to plan a wedding. If that is the case then congratulations and be sure to drop me a line as I’d love to hear all about your story!

choosing the Right Wedding Photographer

25/2/2020

PictureMatt Harris of MJH Pictures
I thought it was about time that I wrote a little bit about myself and how I work. Making sure you choose the right photographer who, not only shoots in the style that you're looking for but who is also someone with whom you can gel with and feel comfortable around is no mean feat. Before we talk about me though,  let's have a look at the sort of things you might want to take into consideration when making your decision. 

​Why it's an important investment... 
 Deciding on who you want to capture your wedding for you may well be the toughest decision you make. There are a lot of factors to consider and there are a lot of photographers out there who offer all sorts of different things which really won’t make your decision any easier. There are those couples who consider their wedding pictures to be the most important investment they’ll make and then there are those who will treat it as an afterthought. 
 
It’s really down to the individual but to offer my ten pence worth, when considering a photographer for your day you need to remember that your pictures are the only tangible thing you’ll have after all the celebrations have finished. They are your lasting memory of the day and will be shown to your children, grand-children and great-grand-children. So, it’s probably not the best time to rely on your Uncle Bob “because he has a nice camera” or your friend who is a pet photographer. As well as the technical skill involved, shooting a wedding is a talent all in itself. It’s pressurised, there are time constraints, there are changes in location and light every 5 secs and you only have one chance to capture the shot. You have to be a people person, a confidante, a diplomat, a problem solver and have the patience of saint all at the same time. 
 
What style do I choose?
There are 3 main styles used these days for wedding photography – Traditional, Contemporary and Reportage. 
 
  • Traditional Style is a throwback from the more traditional era of film photography and was more focussed on taking posed shots and involved a lot of direction from the photographer and was more demanding of the wedding party. The drawback is that you miss out on a lot of emotion from the day and spend a fair bit of time away from your guests. 
  • Contemporary has its roots in the more fashion or editorial style photography. The shots are slightly more relaxed but involve more exciting lighting and fancy angles. They might look good but again, can be quite demanding of the wedding party. Would you rather spend 2 hours having your picture taken by a photographer with a “creative vision” or would you rather be spending time with your guests?
  • Then there’s reportage or documentary style photography which is more about telling a story and capturing the emotion of the day as it unfolds naturally around the photographer. This tends to be the more popular style of photography these days and is certainly a style that lends itself best to such an emotional occasion like a wedding. If you do prefer this style just be aware that the photographer might not be keen on doing any group shots as it won’t align with their vision. 
 
How much should I pay?
This is a bit of a minefield and something that can be quite daunting. One photographer might have 2 different packages, that take into account their length of coverage. Another one might offer platinum, gold, silver, bronze or pewter packages that go from the very basic level of coverage all the way up to including 3 assistant photographers, a wind machine, drone, film crew and a thoroughbred stallion. Basically, a Duran Duran video. It can all get very confusing and may actually have the detrimental effect of putting you off looking for a decent photographer. 
 
Everyone has a different budget to work with, but you need to understand why you should place so much value on finding the right one. 
You might find a photographer who will charge, say, £400 for full-day coverage and offer 1000 images, 3 albums, a video and a partridge in a pear tree. If they can do all that then all power to them but in truth, that is unrealistic.  The average photographer will spend an awful lot of time on just one wedding, including meetings, recce’s, travel, actual photography, uploading and backing up shots, editing, printing and delivery. So, as well as great pictures that tell your story, in reality, you’re paying for time and you’re paying for experience. A safe pair of hands on the day who knows exactly what to do, where to be and when to do it with the minimum amount of fuss.  Someone you can trust and who you don’t need to worry about, leaving you to enjoy the biggest day of your life. So, don’t be put off by a higher fee when you’re shopping around. 
 
Choose someone you like and are comfortable around
This to me is probably the most important part of choosing a photographer. You’re going to be nervous enough as it is on your big day and the last thing you need is a photographer who is bossy, in your face and demanding of your time. You should only work with someone that you feel comfortable with, someone who makes you feel relaxed. If you’re relaxed, everyone around you will be relaxed which will put you at ease in front of the camera and help create those natural and fun memories that will last a lifetime. This really isn’t something you can put a price on.

Working with me…
Where do I fit into all of this then? Well, it’s important to know that I’m a pretty easy-going guy and I like to think that this comes across in my pictures. With this in mind I always try and meet with couples when they’re thinking about their photography. Just to sit there and have a chat over a coffee and not even talk about weddings will help you decide what sort of person your photographer is. It’s important that you click (no pun intended). If you decide that you hate me, then that’s totally cool. No harm, no foul. A lot of my couples have actually told me though that, when it came down to making a decision, the fact that I was happy to meet for a chat with no pressure helped them make up their minds. Then, when the day of the wedding came around, it was nice to have a friendly face in the morning during all the preparation. 
 
What is my style? Well, I guess I would fit into the reportage or documentary bracket. I don’t like to call it that though as it feels a little pretentious. The reality is I just use patience and observation. I also listen. When the time is right, I take the picture. It’s about capturing the fun, the emotion and the honesty. That’s the real story of your day. But if you want group shots then I’m more than happy to do those as well and we’ll work together to make sure that they’re in the schedule. If you want the whole wedding party, then that’s great too. I have been known to balance on the top of a borrowed step ladder or hang out of a top floor window. I’ve even been up a tree to capture the shot (sadly there is no evidence to back this up but trust me, it’s true!). 
 
People are often surprised when I say that I stay to the end of the wedding. Most photographers will only go up to the end of the first dance. But to me, as well as being a declaration and commitment of your love for each other, a wedding is also a cause for celebration and a party. You might well have friends and family flying in from all over. So it’s important to me that I capture that party element as well, and that takes place after the first dance. You’ll often find me on a dancefloor or standing on a stage whilst you and your guests are in full on party mode. This is where some of the most fun shots happen and I want to make sure that I capture them for you. 
 
I also make sure I dress appropriately. I think this is really important for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it’s a wedding and it’s a smart affair. Out of respect for the couple who have booked me and for the occasion itself, I make sure that I am wearing what the guests are wearing. Morning coat, black tie or lounge suit? I’ve worn them all to photograph weddings. I’ve been to too many weddings as a guest where the photographer is wearing jeans, trainers or a polo shirt with their branding all over it and it looks terrible. 
The second and most practical reason is that if I’m wearing what the guests are wearing then it helps me to blend in and become almost invisible, allowing me to float around unobtrusively in order to capture everything as naturally as possible.  To quote a couple of former brides of mine:
 
“We had so so many compliments about how fantastic he was, and some people even thought Matt was a guest as he blends in so well!”
 
“He captured our wedding day perfectly - all the joy, fun and laughter are held in his brilliant images. He’s also exceptionally discreet, you really didn’t know he was there.”
 
When it comes to my packages, I have just the one*. When you book me, I’m yours. For the whole day. No time limits. You’ll then receive a few sneak peek images on WhatsApp a day or two later, and a slideshow set to music a few days after that. These are great to view on honeymoon; I’ve had many couples get back to me to say how thrilled they were to receive these and relive their day whilst lying on a beach. 
Three to four weeks after your wedding day, you’ll receive a USB with 400+ edited, hi-res images in a mixture of colour and black and white which are yours to keep and print as well as an online, password protected gallery which you can forward to family and friends. I’ll also send you two 8x10 Fine Art prints. That’s it! All very simple. 
 
I also offer engagement shoots which are a great way to get to know me more and for me to find out more about you. They also help you get used to being in front of a camera. I don’t know anyone who likes having their picture taken so these shoots are perfect as come the big day you won’t be so phased by having me around. 
 
So that’s me in a nutshell, my work is an extension of myself. Uncomplicated, easy, honest and natural. Your day is all about you and if I done my job properly, then hopefully you won’t really have noticed me at all.  
I hope you find this guide and insight into how I work and what I provide useful. If you’ve recently got engaged and you’re thinking about photography for your wedding, then do get in touch as I’d be more than happy to meet for a coffee and a chat and hear all about your plans. 
 
*If you’re getting married during the mid-week (Mon-Thurs) a reduction on my fee is available.

Lucy & dom's Wedding - Sandling, Kent

17/1/2020

0 Comments

 
I've been somewhat remiss with my blogging of late thanks to end of year jobs, Christmas and January admin and I've been especially meaning to talk about Lucy and Dom's big day for aaaaaaages but time has passed my by. With this cold and miserable weather I thought chatting about a summer wedding might help with the chills. So, here goes. 
​It was my second trip to Kent in the space of a week having shot a wedding there earlier in the week and as I headed down with the sun shining and some great tunes in the car I was excited about the prospect of what the day might bring as it was to be an "at home" wedding with a marquee in the garden and these, as I've often said before, are my absolute favourite type of weddings. 
First, it was off to see the girls who were all getting ready in a rented house fairly nearby where they were being well looked after by Helen Lee who is one of the most in-demand wedding make-up artists in Kent. Bridal prep is curious time of day, there is nervous tension and excitement in equal measures. Sometimes chaotic, always loud, it's a chance to meet everyone properly as I go about my business of documenting everything whilst trying not to inhale vast amounts of hair spray or trip over shoes or curling tongs. 
​There was just enough time to head over and see the groom for a few candid snaps before heading back to the girls and their final preparations. It was then off to the church of St Peter & St Paul in Saltwood where there was the most beautiful footpath leading up to the lychgate before getting to the actual church. Lucy wanted to make sure that I could capture the back of her dress and the backdrop for this was absolutely ideal as well as being a good place for Lucy to pause and reflect before she headed in to see Dom. 
​The service flew by and it was back outside for the confetti shot. At this point the rain decided to come down but this didn't deter the newlyweds or their guests as the umbrellas went up and the confetti was thrown in the air. 
The reception was held at Lucy's parents house in a beautifully decorated marquee. Every detail had been carefully thought through and put together under the watchful eye of wedding planner Julia Sibun. There are a lot of elements in play at a wedding but Julia was a steady hand on the tiller - organised, supportive and very relaxed which is exactly what you need from your wedding planner.  I have to say as well that the layout of the marquee was perfect for pictures as there were two long tables running through the middle which enabled me to just walk up and down, observe and capture those great natural shots of the guests that I love doing.
Keeping the guests well lubricated were a team of mixologists from Dom's bar business Exquisite Cocktails, the highlight being a retro bicycle which was kitted out as a Gin & Tonic station and which proved to be very popular. In fact it was all a certain photographer could do to not succumb to temptation and sample what was on offer! To help wash the drinks down, guests were treated to a veritable feast by the team of caterers at Kitchen of Kent. 
We were soon into the speeches, ably led by not one but two MC's, which went off a treat thanks, in no part, to each speech giver having to down a drink of the MC's choice. Soon it was time to throw some shapes on the dance floor (the guests, not me...well, maybe one or two) and the dancing continued into the small hours.
Dom and Lucy's wedding was one of those days that just flew by, proof if any were needed that it was perfect in every way. One of the main reasons I love photographing weddings is that they are a day that is all about love, positivity and the coming together of friends new and old and that is an energy that is truly infectious. It's when you're in an environment like that that your "job" doesn't really feel like work at all and really, who could ask for anything more?

A 60th Birthday Party - Leatherhead, Surrey

10/1/2020

1 Comment

 
It's been quite the journey for me over the last decade with a new career, a move to the country, a new dog, another baby, less hair and a squidgier tummy to name but a few. I've learnt a lot along the way - about myself, about photography and getting the best out of clients. Its been a heck of a ride and long may it continue.
The end of the decade was rounded off with a 60th birthday party, a glitzy, decadent black tie affair (myself included, I like to make an effort) with no expense spared. It had great food, free flowing champagne, a string quartet, great DJ (my Shazam app got a lot of use), an amazingly talented free-styling saxophonist and the UK's premier Bon Jovi tribute band "Bon Giovi". Overall, it was the sort of party that was right up my street with a great crowd embracing the night and allowing me to blend in and provide me with some great images from a memorable night, a great way see out the year! Take a moment and have a look for yourself and if you're planning a party and need a photographer then don't hesitate to drop me a line.

Rachel & Rich's Wedding -The Ravenswood, West Sussex

6/11/2019

1 Comment

 
It's always nice to shoot somewhere new and back in August I ventured over to West Sussex and a fantastic wedding venue called The Ravenswood. I had actually first come across the owner when I exhibited at the National Wedding Show at Olympia the year before so it was great to be able to visit in a professional capacity as the photographer for Rachel and Rich's big day. 

I first met Rachel and Rich about a year previously when, after a preliminary "get to know you" drink, they decided they wanted an engagement shoot in Richmond Park. This served 2 purposes, firstly so we could get to know each other better and they could get used to being in front of a camera and secondly so they could send out some save the date cards to Rachel's family and friends, most of whom came from Chicago in the USA. As a couple it's no understatement to say that they were an absolute delight. Easy to get on with and comfortable in front of the camera, when a couple are focussed on just each other and pretty much forget that a lens is pointing at them then you know that the pictures you take will be totally 100% natural. From a photography point of view it really doesn't get any better than that. 

​Fast forward to their wedding day and everything ran incredibly smoothly. From the Bridal prep in the morning to the wonderful ceremony conducted by Sophie at True Promise Ceremonies, we couldn't have asked for a better day. Even the forecasted rain decided to stay away which meant we could stick to the original plan of having the service outside.
​After that it was time for a few canapés and refreshments before the 3 of us went off to explore some of the many nooks and crannies that can be found dotted around the Ravenswood's fantastic grounds. From the old boathouse to a fantastical woodland hideaway, we were spoilt for choice. As Rachel and Rich had already spent time with me the year before, today they were super relaxed and had no qualms about having a camera pointed at them. They just "got it" and we were able to capture some great shots before we rejoined the wedding party.  

Talking of parties, I've always said that the guests are such an important part of a wedding. They bring so much in terms of atmosphere and energy and Rachel and Rich's family and friends from both sides of the Atlantic were all on great form, filling the room with smiles and laughter long into the night. 

All in all, it was a day to remember and was superbly brought together by the team at the Ravenswood. Rachel and Rich are a truly wonderful couple and I'd like to thank them for having me along for the ride to capture their big day for them. Below are just a handful of images that hopefully give just the briefest of glimpses into their big day. 

​​Oh, and one more thing. GO BEARS!  (It's a Chicago thing...)

Corporate headshot photos don't need to be boring and stuffy. Your staff are your most important asset, representing your values, clients and product. From Exec level and through all levels of a company, your headshots can reflect the real "you" and your approach to doing business.
Greg Webb, the new CEO of Travelport, spends a lot of his time travelling and so wanted his new headshot to reflect his relaxed and approachable personality when he's in the office. If you are looking to update your company website my informal and relaxed style of
head shots - either in the office environment or outside - will help showcase your team and provide your brand with a personality that will resonate with those you do business with.

If you're thinking about new headshots of your staff or are in the process of having a rebrand then give me a call!

SURREY FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY

2/10/2019

With the weather cooling and the trees turning a shade of brown, it's time to turn my cameras toward the smaller folk, the ones who can teach us a thing or two about letting our hair down as they run around kicking leaves into the air without a care in the world. The ones who see a muddy puddle and their first instinct is to jump right in it rather than give it a wide berth.
Autumn is a truly magical time, my absolute favourite season of the year and it brings out the best in us. It's all winter coats, warm fires and larger than necessary jumpers. It's also a time that is perfect for family photos. Whether its at home or wrapping up and heading outside, its the perfect climate for creating memories. For those of you who know me and my style, I don't really do stiff, posed or forced photos. I prefer to let kids be kids. For families to spend time together having fun whilst I observe, interact, step back and document everything that unfolds in front me. Honest family photography - true, meaningful and filled with love.

​To celebrate the start of Autumn I'm offering a 10% discount off the price of a normal shoot (normally £275). For that you get me for an hour of photography in a location of your choice*. After which you'll receive approx. 25 edited digital images (colour and b+w of each, so 50 photos) which are yours to keep with licence to print. All very simple. No hidden charges. Just me, my cameras and your family running around and having fun in the fresh Autumn air. 

To book, just get in touch and we can put a date in the diary. 


*Within 25 miles of my home address, after which travel is charged at 40p per mile
