Matthew & Kristina
Matthew
Photographer/ Videographer/ Filmmaker
Background
I am Matthew! I was raised in a little town outside Preston called Much Hoole, which is funny, cause there ain’t much there. My mum raised my twin brother and I alone — real life Wonder Woman, she was. Speaking of my brother, I’m arguably the more handsome one.
I studied Media at college. Film & Television Production at university. I have interned as a video assistant in New York City and my multimedia company is over 10 years old, so it’s safe to say I know my around a camera and editing software.
My lifestyle and the freedom it gives me is just amazing! I end up editing until midnight and can choose to follow my own routine. Going through your wedding photos or editing your film on the beach or in a small Italian coffee shop is just the best!
Food wine & Cars
I am a Pizza King! Give me pizza any time and I will take it! Italian kitchen is my absolute favourite maybe that’s why I keep finding my way back to Italy.
Combine a slice of pizza (well…entire pizza) and a glass of wine and you have a winner.
I am very passionate about cars and worked as a videographer for SSUK. If you are bringing a classic or a super car to your wedding I will make sure to capture that speed using drone.
Traveling
I started traveling when I turned 21. Funny enough, my best friend came up with a crazy idea to do an internship in New York, and even my lack of confidence at the time didn’t stop me – it was the push I needed.
Even though I enjoy company when travelling I done a lot of Solo trips and strongly suggest everyone to give it a go.
My favourite destinations are definitely Italy, New Zealand, Australia, US, Iceland. I have visited a lot of countries but want to explore more. The next country at the top of my bucket list is Japan.
Facts about me
As Drake sings – ”Started from the bottom now we are here” – I created the life I always dreamed of by taking risks. Back in 2016, I quit my last full-time job and focused on MLW. That was the scariest but the most rewarding decision of my life, and I never looked back! Doing what I do today is an absolute dream and I can’t wait to see where the future will take me.
People say I am funny…I will just leave this to your judgement…
I played drums.
I used to be a personal trainer. And I ran a marathon of 13,5 miles in less than 1 hour. Could I possibly do it now – probably not.
I am very spontaneous – I can come up with craziest ideas and believe me when I say that really helps in a wedding industry.
Kristina
Photographer/ Content Creator
Background
I am Kristina originally from a small town in Lithuania! I have a degree in Visual communication and Multimedia.
The best thing about being a Wedding photographer – at least for me – is that it is a creative job.
I consider myself as a very creative person! I went to Art school for 12 years and in my free time I love painting! Photography is a form of art and that’s why I love it.
Even though I worked as a trainer in a huge international company and enjoyed my 9-5 job I love the freedom I gained becoming a freelancer.
Food and Wine
I am a huge wine lover. After moving to Portugal I discovered fine wine experience and had a chance to see how wine is made in a few Vineyards. My all time favourite is Green wine (Vinho verde) and dry Rosé!
I love cooking and strongly believe I can cook… My obsession with potatoes is on a next level! I love fish and sushi but easily could live without anything sweet for the rest of my life.
Traveling
My biggest passion besides art and photography is without a doubt – travelling!
I grew up in a small city in a small country and always wanted to see what’s more out there.
My favourite countries are Italy, Portugal, the Netherlands, Ireland! But my dream is to visit a new country each year.
Facts about me
I am the worst photographer’s nightmare and hate photos taken of me! Ironic you would think – oh yes! If you are not comfortable in front of the camera I can absolutely relate to you.
That’s why natural and unexpected moments are my favourite! I am all about a natural, relaxed and comfortable approach for the couple who hates photos taken of them – theoretically you won’t even notice it’s happening.
My super power is that I speak 5 languages
I lived in Portugal for 10 years.
Crazy cat lady here…and if I could I would adopt all the cats that need home.
Do we sound like your type of people?
We would love to be a part of your day.
