Beautiful, Creative Documentary Wedding Photography From Matilda Delves

Hello again lovely readers and how has this week started for you? I have to admit that after a gorgeous few days in Wales last week, I was feeling a tad bit flat but the delightful summery weather and an inbox bursting with wedding goodness have combined to cheer me up! So today, I’m thrilled to share a little bit of brilliance with you as I have the huge pleasure of introducing you to wedding photographer Matilda Delves and her radiant and expressive images. Enjoy…

The wonderful Matilda Delves fell head over heels for weddings when her sister got married. Matilda studied photography at Nottingham Trent University and was working as a commercial photographer but experiencing the joy of weddings at first hand convinced her to start photographing ceremonies and celebrations for her clients.

“It was after seeing my sister marry that wedding photography became my love and I’ve been photographing weddings ever since. I only took a few photographs on the day but the uninhibited joy of the occasion had me hooked. It’s so meaningful and every one is a such a unique experience – that’s a really special thing to be part of.”

“It’s hard to describe my signature style,” says Matilda. “If I had to pin it down to a style, I’d say it’s ‘creative documentary’, focusing on the fun and natural moments of a wedding day.”

And ‘natural’ is certainly a word that I would use to sum up Matilda’s photography. When I look through her images (and I spent a long time sat in front of my screen, browsing her portfolio with a huge smile on my face!), I see brides, grooms, friends and family completely ‘in the moment’. They’re being themselves, totally and utterly, and Matilda Delves, with her eye for what really matters, has captured that split second forever.

“I’m inspired by a huge range of things but, most importantly, the relationships between people never fail to work their magic. It’s those candid moments, the looks, the glances, the expressions between people that are so important and those are the photos that are special to the couples that choose me to be their wedding photographer.”

I do so love the photos that are full of people. I adore the fact that the images Matilda has submitted to accompany this feature are brimming over with life and love and exquisite emotion. These are the photographs that, when you look at them in years to come, will place you right back on your wedding day and Matilda Delves truly understands that.

“When I was growing up, my sister and I would often get all the photographs out of the albums, to play with them and to remind ourselves of all the places we’ve been together. It’s one of the powers of photography. Photographs trigger memories. Photographs are memories.”
