Your Trusted Firework Photography Specialist in the UK
I am Cris Matthews, a professional photographer and videographer with over 15 years of experience in capturing firework displays, pyrotechnics, and night-time events. My unique expertise stems from combining my dual roles as both a professional photographer since 2008 and the founder of a successful firework display company operating for over 12 years. This rare combination allows me to understand fireworks at a technical level while mastering the art of capturing their dynamic beauty through the lens. I have collaborated with leading firework companies across the UK and Europe, including Titanium Fireworks and Sirotechnics, delivering visuals for high-profile events at venues such as Wembley Stadium and the Commonwealth Games.My work extends to weddings, concerts, and corporate events, where I use advanced techniques including drone photography to create immersive visual narratives. Clients consistently highlight my ability to translate the ephemeral magic of fireworks into lasting, high-impact imagery that enhances their brand and preserves unforgettable moments.
