Kind Words From Amazing Couples

I have the best couples, the best, they have said these kind things about me!

Emily & Jack

We hired Mat as our wedding photographer and honestly have been blown away by the amazing photos we have received back.

All our guests said how professional and friendly he was throughout the day and how beautiful the photographs are.

We couldn’t have asked for anything better.
Thank you!

Emily & Jack - Nottingham ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Abby & Laura

Matt recently took photos at our wedding and I couldn't have asked for a better person to do it.


Matt is so lovely and calm and makes every thing feel calm too.
We were a little nervous about being in front of the camera but Matt made us feel very comfortable. Also, a lot of the day he just blended in and we forgot that pictures were being taken which was great. The photos we received are just stunning, better than we ever could have asked for. We had a Harry Potter themed wedding and he went away and researched Harry Potter so he could get things just perfect. And he did.

I've already recommended Matt to a few people so we maybe see each other again soon x Thanks so much,

We were absolutely delighted with our photos from our wedding day.

Mat was professional, kind and couldn't do enough for us on the day.

We feel that he went above and beyond for us and gave us amazing photo opportunities that we would never have thought of.

All the way through the process, Mat was great at communicating with us and was always there to answer any questions we had.

We also really enjoyed meeting Mat before our day to go over everything.

We can't thank him enough and would highly recommend him to anyone.

Mat did a great job from start to finish!

We booked him 2 years in advance and felt comfortable to speak to him throughout. During the pre-wedding meeting he was thorough and open-minded.

On the day he was amazing interacting with us and all our guests. He was quick and got his amazing photos out to us so we could share with our family.

Not only do we highly recommend, but many of our guests complimented his work, personality and friendliness throughout the day.

Thank you for everything and we can't wait to get our photos up around the house.

Sally & Jake

Mat photographed our post lockdown wedding and was absolutely incredible! He captured the day perfectly!

From the moment we booked Mat he was so easy to contact, reassured us during the tough lockdown months and went above and beyond to make sure everything was spot on for our day.

We can not recommend him highly enough - if you want stunning photos, taken by a great guy, who captures every detail, Mat is your man! We have part 2 of our wedding next year, and Mat has been amazing at re-scheduling and booking us in, we can’t wait to do it all again.

Our photos are perfect and we will treasure our memories you have captured forever - thank you so much.

Sally & Jake- Derby ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Nikki & Kieran

Can’t recommend Mat enough, absolutely a credit to what he does. A professional without the “strict” routine of pose in this way or pose that way. The whole day felt relaxed and at times it felt as though he wasn’t there. He managed to capture those off guard moments and those photos are my favourite.


He understood from the start what we wanted and was very accommodating, he was friendly enough that it was a pleasure to have him around and not feel awkward. The photos are absolutely stunning and give us a great look back into our special day.


Thank you again Mat you really captured the day!

Maria & Liam

Mat photographed our ‘Lockdown Wedding’ and we cannot put into words how happy we are with our photos, they are just stunning.

When we met Mat for our engagement shoot he made us feel relaxed and comfortable, and was super helpful and reassuring when we did not know if our wedding could even go ahead.

Mat is amazing and has captured the day perfectly, even our little people who were Carmela shy! We cannot recommend Mat enough, he Blended in with out guests despite it being such an intimate affair and he has such an eye for detail. We also had brilliant fun scrambling through sheep fields and hedgerows, to get to the corn fields Mat had found and he captured every moment effortlessly.

We are so happy we found you and will cherish the photos for you have taken forever, Thank you!

Abi & Lee

Where do I even start to write a review for Mat.
From start to finish everything Mat did for us was perfect.
We booked Mat pretty much completely blind we had looked at his website once and met him once and knew straight away that he was the photographer for us.
Mat’s style fit perfectly to how we wanted to capture our special day.
When it came to the big day itself Mat was super professional and in all honesty at times I completely forgot that he was there snapping away. No task was too much to ask. Especially when I threw it out there I wanted to grab some pictures up at Curbar edge, Mat was more than happy to oblige.
Then came the images there are just no words to describe how perfect they are. They have captured the day perfectly. From the small details to the big Mat captured it all.

I can’t wait to get them on the wall at home!
Thank you for making our special day perfect and full of lasting memories.

Abi & Lee - Derby ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Neil & Jo

Mat was our photographer for our wedding in Feb 2020. We booked him to do our engagement shoot, which took place a few weeks before the wedding.

Upon meeting Mat, he made us feel comfortable and our engagement shoot was fun, relaxed and easy going. It was immensely helpful to learn how he worked and for my partner and I to learn how to be in front of the camera together. We knew we had made the right choice.
On the day itself Mat attended the Bridal preparation, where he took some fabulous photo’s the Bridal party getting ready, we didn’t even know he was there, so the photos are all relaxed and non-intrusive, which really helped to capture the atmosphere of the morning. We also had Mat’s second photographer Jason who was just as excellent capturing moments from the Groom & Groomsmen at the venue before the ceremony.
Mat was with us from the early hours till late evening giving us memories of the full day, he was casual, real and relaxed but highly committed and professional. On our wedding day we had snow, hail, freezing gale force winds and sun which must have been difficult to deal with, but he remained calm, relaxed and fun and our photos have all turned out amazing. We wanted smoke bombs, our dog Hugo to be photographed (he was our ring bearer) and some non-typical wedding shots, which was met with enthusiasm and understanding.
All of the photos we have received have really captured the important moments beautifully and they have brought tears to our eyes. Thank you so much Mat!
Our day was captured perfectly and we truly can’t recommend Mat enough!

Jade & David

So where do we even start! After having a keen eye for photography myself, I found myself being very picky when looking at professional photographers wedding albums.

We attended so many wedding fayres to find the right photographer, but I kept finding faults. However - I came across Mat via online searching and what a breath of fresh air he was! His photographs are like no other and I found myself tearing up over other people's photos on his website so I bit the bullet and sent him a Facebook message.

Right from the first message we received back, we knew we had found the right man for the job! He is lovely, down to earth and so easy to talk to - when we met with him he asked so many questions and came up with ideas we hasn't even thought of! The day came and went so quickly but Mat was there capturing every precious moment, right from bridal prep he just did his own things and we barely even noticed him.

Our wedding photos speak for themselves, it's been almost 7 months and I still cry looking at them. You will not be disappointed - Mat Troke photography is definitely the right man for any couple looking for a photographer who adds that personal touch. Thanks again Mat, it was a pleasure.

Sophie & James

I came across Mat on instagram after being blown away by some of his previous photos.

From the first time we met Mat, he made us feel so relaxed and at ease. On our wedding day, Mat was friendly and professional and captured some amazing images for my husband and I to treasure.

Thank you so much Mat!

Alice & John

I'm so glad we booked Mat to capture our special day. From our initial meeting to the actual day his communication was superb and he really understand what we wanted. He covered the whole day for us and delivered exactly what we asked for and more! He was adaptable and made us feel so relaxed all day and was not intrusive but still managed to catch all the special moments.

My husband surprised me with our wedding album for Christmas, thank you Mat for helping to put this together for him!

I would whole heartedly recommend Mat for any weddings or other occasions. Thank you for capturing the memories of the day and allowing us to relive them with such beautiful photos.

Luca & Simon

Finding the right photographer was always important to me when wedding planning, I must have looked through 100 different options online, and when I saw Mats photos, I just knew those were the ones I wanted!

I contacted Mat and booked immediately when he confirmed he was available. Our wedding was moved from last year to this June and Mat couldn’t have been more helpful throughout, excellent communication and flexibility. I followed Mats other photography throughout lockdown and became increasingly jealous as I couldn’t wait to have my own photos! We had a meeting at the venue prior to the big day to run through our plans. The day itself went perfectly with Mat there always capturing the right moments, our venue was perfect to blend wedding photos with Mats amazing landscape photography and we are absolutely over the moon with the photos.

Our venue also recently contacted us regards Mats photos, they had never seen wedding photos like them before! Thank you so much Mat, the photos are perfect :)

I cannot recommend Mat enough for doing your photos!!

Right from the start he had vision and passion for both the artistic and whole day photos and captured them all perfectly. I true feel I re-live my perfect day when I go through my photos and take real pride in showing them off to everyone!
Mat was nothing but professional the whole day, we barely knew he was there but he was always about just at the right moments!!
I would whole heartedly recommend Mat for any occasion!!

Thank you so much Mat for capturing our perfect day!

We were lucky enough to have Matt cover our wedding at Wortley Hall. He came and visited us before our big day and also spent the whole day and evening with us on our big day.

It's clear he is really popular and busy but he looked after our every need, before. During and after our wedding day.

Thanks Matt you're a star.

It was an extra challenge with me being in a wheelchair but it was dealt with simply by Mat.

On the day Mat was barley noticeable, he was very discreet in Church.

Mat is easy to talk to, very friendly and approachable too, all photos we asked for were taken.

We can't thank Mat enough and he deserves far more than 5 stars. 5 stars seems measly for all he has done to capture our forever memories deserves all the world and more, truly from the bottom of our hearts THANK YOU for the fantastic photos service and more than anything the help!
