Based in Cheshire Matthew Priestley is one of the most sought after wedding photographers in North West England. He has spent the last decade establishing a Wedding Photography business that is synonymous with quality, both for customer service and stunning imagery. His work can best be described as Wedding Photojournalism or Reportage. Few of the pictures he takes at weddings are orchestrated. Instead he prefers to allow the wedding day to flow uninterrupted and to capture moments as they happen naturally. This style of wedding photography has ensured his services are in high demand and as a result he has photographed weddings all over the UK including, Lancashire, Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire, North Wales, London and the Home Counties. He has also shot weddings internationally on mainland Europe.

Matt Priestley has covered weddings at some of the North’s most exclusive Wedding venues including Arley Hall, Peckforton Castle, Capesthorne Hall, Gawsworth Hall, Knowsley Hall, Soughton Hall and Thornton Manor. His ability to capture the Architecture and location of these venues has meant marrying couples can be assured the spectacular backdrops for their day are photographed with skill and precision. In addition to rural locations Matt has also gained invaluable experience photographing weddings at more urban locations such as Manchester Town Hall, The Lowry Hotel and Belle Époque Brasserie in Knutsford.

Matt is equally comfortable photographing weddings where the client chooses to host their weddings at home using a marquee. Mahood Marquees and Millennium Marquees are two Cheshire based companies who he has worked with extensively and is happy to recommend due to their high standards in customer care and service. Top Table and Barretts Event Caterers and are also two suppliers linked to marquee weddings who regularly supply Matt’s clients.

In addition to wedding photography Matt also shoots family portraiture. All his work is shot on location and Dunham Massey Park in Cheshire and Castlefield in Manchester are two of his favorite locations. Again his approach to portrait photography is similar to his wedding photography, i.e. informal, spontaneous and creative.

Further, Matt also provides public relation and event photography. He has photographed numerous conferences and events at Manchester Central, (previously know as G-mex) and Manchester Airport. He also works extensively within the public sector offering photography to Hospitals, Primary Care Trusts, Schools, Local authorities and a host of Charitable organizations. His work is regularly featured in Annual reports and Public Health campaigns.
