About Matt Pate Wedding Photography
Natural, relaxed wedding photographer capturing real emotion and timeless storytelling images across Cheshire, North West and UK wedding venues.
Matt Pate Wedding Photography offers a natural, documentary-led approach to capturing weddings across Cheshire, the North West and beyond. With a focus on real moments rather than staged posing, Matt’s work is centred around storytelling, emotion, and authenticity.
From the excitement of morning preparations to the energy of the evening celebrations, every part of the wedding day is covered in a relaxed and unobtrusive way. Couples are encouraged to enjoy their day naturally, while Matt captures the laughter, tears, and spontaneous moments that make each wedding unique.
A pre-wedding shoot is often included to help couples feel comfortable in front of the camera and build a relaxed relationship before the big day. This helps ensure that on the wedding day itself, everything feels natural and effortless.
With experience across a wide range of venues and styles, from intimate gatherings to large celebrations, Matt adapts seamlessly to each couple’s vision. The result is a timeless collection of images that tell the full story of the day, from start to finish.

Meet the Key Person
Hi, I’m Matt, a Cheshire-based wedding photographer working from Christleton and covering the wider North West and beyond. My approach is rooted in natural storytelling. I focus on capturing real moments as they happen – the laughter, the emotion, the quiet in- between glances, and all the details couples spend months planning. I believe wedding photography should never feel forced or staged; instead, it should allow you to enjoy your day while I document it honestly and beautifully. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of photographing weddings in some incredible venues across Cheshire, Liverpool, Manchester and North Wales. Each wedding is completely unique, and that’s exactly how I treat it. My aim is always the same: to create timeless images that bring back the feeling of your day, not just the look of it. I take a relaxed and friendly approach, helping couples feel at ease so that natural moments can unfold. Many couples choose to include a pre-wedding shoot, which is a great way for us to get to know each other and for you to feel more comfortable in front of the camera before your wedding day. On the day itself, I work discreetly in the background, blending in with your guests so nothing feels staged or interrupted. From morning preparations through to your evening celebrations, I’m there to capture the full story of your day. Above all, I want your photographs to feel like you – genuine, emotional, and full of life. Images that you’ll still love just as much in 30 years as you do the moment you first see them.
