Matt Taylor
The entire photo experience with Matthew was fantastic. He made me feel very at ease, gave good direction and made the whole process very enjoyable. The quality of photos was fantastic and i could easily have chosen half a dozen of them. I'd recommend him to anyone looking for such a photo shoot.
When searching for a photographer to take our company photos, Matthew Birch Photography stood out to us from the start when viewing the excellent website for his business. The second refreshing element that stood out for us was Matthew answered the phone straight away and we chatted through our requirement at length. Matthew's experience shone throughout our conversation. The attention to detail Matthew provided and discussed with us was also very reassuring for novices in this arena. Booking the shoot and payment through the website was excellent. From meeting Matthew to saying goodbye after a wonderful shoot we cannot recommend Matthew highly enough. His patience, fun, creativity, and experience guided us all through a long and fruitful experience. The results were amazing. Our web designers and marketing partners also took the time to feedback to us how excellent the photography was and of a quality standard rarely come by. Matthew captured the essence of who we are, and we are considering ways to work with him again in the future. Matthew's photography also captures the essence of who he is, exceptionally talented, professional and someone who cares.

I can strongly recommend Matthew - his studio, his attitude, the generosity of his time and the excellent pictures that we now have for our headshots and speaking pictures.

Matthew did a great job putting me at ease, starting with careful listening on the brief, which yielded a great series of headshots I could use across bios, linkedin, and external articles. I would definitely use Matthew again and would not hesitate to recommend him .

We had a fantastic Photo Experience with Matthew. We are thoroughly pleased with the individual and group photos that Matthew took for our new Website. The whole experience was very professional as well as being very relaxed.
Would throughly recommend

Matthew made me feel totally at ease with the process and explained all the various options and possible backgrounds that could be used. He made being a "model" for a few hours fun and enabled me to see how the photos could be used to link up with the branding of my company and enhance my profile. Having professional hair and make up was also a big plus, especially as it remained available throughout the shoot. Totally recommend a professional photo shoot with Matthew.

I came across Matthew Burch from several positive online reviews for photographers in the Farnham area. He is only 10+ mins south of town, located in a picturesque village & a charming barn like studio.
Matthew is the consummate professional. He leads the client through the process, enables them to relax & understand what is happening, especially as the session was not rushed. The fun interactive part is the joint review of a range of photographs to logically deduce what the client is looking for. I greatly enjoyed the experience and left with the quality photographs I needed.
Quality service & outcomes cost (personal or business reasons) and whilst there maybe cheaper, I doubt if you will get the copy you need at the other end of the market.
Well worth the effort - A strong recommend
GARY ARMSTRONG
I had an excellent experience doing a personal branding shoot on location with Matthew. His approach has been professional, friendly, kind and creative from start to finish. Matthew is by nature generous and a pleasure to be. Not only are the photos great, but I gained a lot personally from the experience. From the initial conversation, through the shoot itself and the ultimate delivery of the photos have been first class and I sincerely recommend his work.

I needed an urgent new photo for my new job. Matthew responded within 15 min from my enquiry. He is highly professional and very patient. The whole process was incredibly efficient and all was done in one day. I have great photos to choose from. I highly recommend Matthew if you want to look good in your professional world.

I decided to invest and up grade my LinkedIn headshot. Attended Matthew's studio in Farnham and as part of the experience, he provided a wonderful make up artist / hair stylist (Catherine). Matthew was very professional but his informal style made you feel completely at ease. The whole experience was immensley enjoyable, despite not being a natural in front of a camera. I would highly recommend Matthew Burch to any organisation, or any individual that requires professional corporate photography.

We were recommended to Matthew as a local photographer who could do some new head shots for our Directors. Throughout the process Matthew was professional and made all of us feel at ease during our session at his studio. Considering what he had to work with, we were all very surprised at how good Matthew made us look.
I would not hesitate to recommend Matthew and hope to work with him again in the future.

Matthew talked about the importance of a great business profile picture for your website and social media. He invited me to spend some time with him in his studio. Nothing was too much trouble for Matthew – he was the consumate professional in setting the lighting, posture, background and putting me at ease to get a photo that was a true reflection of me and how I want to appear in front of business acquaintances, prospects and clients. I’m thrilled with the results and it’s having an immediate impact on my social media profile. Like it or not, people will make judgements about you based on their first impressions of your picture! What does your say about you? Give Matthew a call – he’ll give you some honest feedback about what’s great and what you might do to improve the image. Go on, what are you waiting for!

Matthew has an easy manner that made a four-hour photo shoot seem fun and comfortable. I was relaxed and Matthew was professional throughout. The results were great and just what I needed for my online presence. A varied set of character photos and a few great 'professional' headshots to choose from.

Matt is a master photographer. I needed promo shots of a team-building workshop I was leading that showed the personalities of the participants, and of me training. This would have been impossible do to by myself, being immersed in the running of the event. Matt captured great moments, smiles and dynamic movement, all whilst being almost invisible to the participants, and letting the course of the workshop flow. He coped more than admirably with the challenging lighting conditions and made my event look amazing. I've since used and continue to use his shots for social media and advertising. Thank you Matt.

I asked Matthew to take some publicity photos that I could use to promote my music. I didn't want the standard shots and asked him to be creative. I wasn't sure what to expect but he was brilliant and I'm glad I trusted him. He was creative, efficient and easy to work with. We got the shots done really easily (it seemed). I would definitely recommend him
Guy Pearson
I was recommended to Matthew Burch for some new headshots and he was quick to respond, full of good ideas and very thorough in his approach. The thing I liked particularly about Matthew is that he spent a long time making sure I got all the varying headshots I need to choose from; there was no "stopwatch" running with Matthew. Very professional, good to work with and would recommend him without hesitation.
Matthew was recommended to me for producing headshots of our staff, alongside team photos for our marketing use and website publication. Matt was unknown to me but I took the recommendation and booked him for a photoshoot at our new offices. Frankly I couldn’t have been happier! Matt arrived with a ‘can do’ attitude and an enthusiastic but easy going demeanour that put everyone in a comfort zone for having their photo done. The whole experience was painless and the results superb. Since that first booking Matt has twice returned for new employees, more team/group photos, some character portraits and has delivered every time with a quick turnaround. I highly recommend Matthew Burch to any organisation that requires professional and excellent standards of corporate photography.
