Hi, I'm Matthew Gillam
I’m a Brisbane-based wedding photographer, now into my 13th year of business. Yep… I shot my first wedding with red P-plates on the back of my car. Haha.
A few hundred weddings later, and I’ve gotten pretty clear on who I want to be as your photographer, the one who will be following you around all day. The fact is, if I’m there for the getting ready in the morning, you’ll both individually spend more time around me on your wedding day than each other. Weird, right?
Knowing that, it’s actually super important to make sure we get along. That you like me, and that I can fit in without it being awkward or uncomfortable.
That’s what I feel sets me apart. I’m relaxed, easygoing, and completely happy to blend into your day without turning the whole thing into one big photoshoot. I’ll fit in with your crew without making it weird.
I’m not interested in posing you all day, manufacturing smiles, or redoing shots. If you're after traditional, polished, heavily retouched images, I’m probably not your guy. I’ll give you direction where you need it, set you up in a way that feels comfortable, then get out of the way and let you be you.
I want you to feel your photos. For people who weren’t there to get it. For your kids to see the love in your eyes. And for you two, whether life gets tough or you're popping champagne on an anniversary, to have a big gallery of photos you can dig out to relive the day and remember exactly how it all felt.
Can’t wait to meet you and hear your story.
Matt
Some Kind Words. (so kind they almost sound like I made them up)
"Matthew Gillam Photography is nothing short of phenomenal! From start to finish, Matt's work exceeded all expectations. His incredible photos capture moments in such a candid style that you feel like you're right there in the moment, reliving every emotion.
What truly sets Matt apart is his friendly demeanor and natural approach. As someone who typically gets very uncomfortable having my photo taken, I was amazed at how Matt made me feel so at ease and natural throughout the entire process. He has a gift for putting people at ease and capturing their true essence.
Working with Matt was an absolute breeze. He's worth his weight in gold for his easy communication, helpfulness, and dedication to his craft. On the day of our event, Matt was there from early morning and into the night! His commitment and passion for his work are truly commendable.
His energy and enthusiasm are contagious, and it's clear that he loves what he does.
By lunchtime the NEXT DAY, we received our sneak peek, and let me tell you, they are INCREDIBLE. Matt perfectly captured everyone's love and joy, and you can feel the emotions through the photos. Each image is a treasure that we will cherish for a lifetime.
If you're searching for a photographer who not only produces stunning photos but also makes the entire process enjoyable and stress-free, look no further than Matthew Gilliam Photography. He's a true artist and a joy to work with. Highly, highly recommend!"
Hope you, Jana and Remy are taking some well earned family time before your three turns into four, and wishing you all a safe and beautiful birth.
Thank you again for being apart of our day,
Hayley & Jack.
