life is your art

that's me, photographer extraordinaire :-)

this is my lovely wife, hannah. she helps me out on wedding days and you might meet her at one of our wedding fairs too. we met at university in 2001, and have been inseparable since! we make a fantastic team if i do say so myself (hannah says: 'i keep him in check!')

we were married in october 2009. it was a special day being surrounded by literally everyone we care about. i wish we could do it all the time! we know how much work goes into planning a wedding and truly appreciate how important your wedding day is to you and all the fine details.

this is us during our honeymoon to new zealand. we hired a classic 1963 vw campervan called coffee and cream and travelled around for 3 weeks. we love the cosiness of campervans and the freedom of the open road!

we love london and have lived here since we finished university in 2004. it is a great city, and provides almost endless photographic opportunities. we are discovering new wedding venues all the time!

we love visiting new places and experiencing new cultures. our last trip to iceland was magical – we got to see (and photograph!) the northern lights - something we had dreamed of seeing since we first met!

although we love to travel overseas, there are some amazing places on our doorstep. one of our favourites is the north yorkshire moors national park, where robin hoods bay is located - it's where we got engaged :-)

by far one of our most favourite things.….empty beaches. This is one of our absolute favourites – and we aren’t telling where it is!

an attempt at a family portrait with our rescue dog poppy. don't get too close, you might a big wet kiss....!

a key member of the team, this is our rescue dog poppy. She love love loves water!

I absolutely love listening to music! I also love spotify - home of music streaming - i honestly don't know what i'd do without it! it's great to create playlists, share with friends and discover new bands. i probably spend way too long each morning setting up my daily soundtrack! :-)

the picture that started it all. i took this in bolivia almost a decade ago now, and have rarely put a camera down since! it didn't take long before i found my love for photographing people - though the bright, vibrant colours of my landscape photography have definitely had an influence - I LOVE colour!
we take care to get to know the people we photograph. we believe that getting to know you is essential for us to be able to capture the true you and the moments and memories you share with your loved ones. on this page you can find out a little bit more about me, my wife hannah (the other half of matthew bishop photography!) and what makes us tick. you'll probably hear a bit about our rather over-enthusiastic dog poppy at some point too!
