Katrina Matthews Photography

I first got excited about photography when I was about 9 years old, exploring in a loft I found an old suitcase full of photos that belonged to my Nan. There were hundreds of old photos, some familiar faces and others I never had the chance to meet, but every image had a story and I wanted to know about all of them. Ever since then I have been obsessed with the creativity of photography. As a documentary wedding photographer my main focus is to blend in and capture the events that are unfolding on the day. It’s so important for me to be aware of what is going on, who is talking to who and where the best reactions are going to come from, so I don’t miss the momentary laughter, smiles and tears that can disappear within seconds. The importance of photography is far greater than many of us think. It is one of the best ways to hold on to the important and significant times and to trigger our memories and emotion. I love being able to capture these moments in people’s lives and give them something that will truly last a lifetime.
