To give every couple my full energy and attention, I only take on a limited number of weddings each year. Popular dates in peak season can book up well in advance.

Extraordinary Wedding Photographer - Matt Selby Photography

Matt Selby is one of the nicest, kindest and most down to earth wedding photographers you will ever meet. We made use of his services in July 2025.

What made us choose Matt for our wedding from the start, is how deeply he cares about the couple he's working with. From the moment we met him for a coffee and chat at his studio, right through to the wedding and picking out our wedding album; he's taken great care to get to know us and what we would like. He provides top-class services, communication and feedback.

His natural style allows for those truly perfect and memorable moments of pure joy, love and happiness to be captured, while you as the bride and groom get to truly enjoy your wedding day.

We highly recommend Matt Selby Photography for all couples looking for an extraordinary wedding photographer.

Couldn’t recommend enough!!

Simply the best!
We knew from early on in our wedding planning journey that we wanted Matt as our photographer - the content we saw on his website and instagram was so different to others, we just loved it!
Matt was so friendly and approachable - we didn’t really know much about what the ‘done’ thing was to do when it came to photos for a wedding but he put us at ease and we just left it in his capable hands. I’m very glad we did this because the outcome was amazing, we couldn’t be happier with our photos.
On the day, Matt and Christian were fab and so helpful - most of the time we didn’t even realise they were there - so discreet!
Photos - It’s the one thing you get as memories forever for your big day so the decision as to which photographer you choose shouldn’t be taken lightly - however I would recommend Matt in a heartbeat. Trust me you won’t be disappointed!

Outstanding!

I am not sure where to start! We initially had some issues with our previously booked photographer, so with around 6 months to go for our wedding we had to go searching. Thankfully, we found Matt. From the first contact, to the face to face meeting at his office and to the end of the day of the wedding - Matt has been nothing but outstanding. He communicates well, he makes sure you, your partner and him all have the some goal which, lets be honest, is to have the best photos. On the day, he brought along Paul who was also incredible. Everyone complimented on how well they captured the day - the smiles, laughs and all the hugs! I could go on for days about how much I appreciate that Matt was available for our special day. These pictures will stay with us forever and I cannot thank Matt and his team enough. If you are in doubt whether to contact Matt for a discussion, just stop doubting and contact him! You will not be disappointed, I promise. Thank you so much, Matt.

Best in the business

Would recommend Matt and Christian to anyone looking for a wedding photographer! The photos are incredible. We now have so many photos which capture special people and moments from our day and our family and friends love them all. He explained he aims to document the day as it unfolds naturally and this was definitely achieved in the most beautiful photos. He also got some really creative photos as well which was what drew us to him when we were searching initially. Matt and Christian were very easy to get along with. He was reliable and keep in contact in the lead up to the wedding.

Fantastic photographer

I honestly don't know where to start. I guess the best way is to say if you're thinking of booking Matt as your wedding photographer - DO IT!! Don't hesitate.
I originally found Matt by using instragram hashtags - it's how I found most of my suppliers. I enquired on his website & he responded super quickly & arranged a meeting at his office in Nottingham. I loved that he likes to meet you before you book him to make sure you're both on the same page with what you're looking for in your wedding photography - he wants to make sure he can deliver! We booked Matt roughly 18 months before the day & comms were really good on the run up, he kept in contact throughout this period (nothing worse than never hearing from a supplier you've booked!!)
Matt uses a second photographer, Christian & it definitely makes a difference!! Nothing was missed - Matt could be photographing Dan & I and Christian could photograph guests & it works treat, we had photos of every guest!
Matt knew exactly what we wanted from our photographs & he really didn't disappoint. He was really easy to work with on the day - we were super relaxed in his company & I feel the amazinggg images captured are definitely down to how relaxed & natural we felt in his & Christians company. We didnt feel tense or awkward & we laughed & exchanged banter all day and our special day wouldn't have been the same without both Matt & Christian.
Matt likes to capture a different image, something he's never captured before at other weddings at the same venuev& we loved this - who doesn't want something individualistic on their wedding day?
We recieved the link for our images quicker than he quoted & we are so so happy with them. The online portal is easy to use & it's really easy to share your images with friends & family too. We've now received our wedding album after struggling to whittle the amount of images down to the recommended as they were all so so good!! The album is fabtastic quality, better than we expected.
We can't thank Matt & Christian enough. Absolutely amazing, professional & genuine people. Cannot recommend Matt Selby Photography enough!!!

High Recommended

Matt did an amazing job capturing our wedding and we couldn't be happier with the results. The photography was a really important aspect for me, and we loved Matt's style and offering. Communication was great ahead of the wedding (we were organising it from Australia), as well as on the big day.

My husband and I were negotiating about how long we were prepared to spend away from guests to capture photos. In the end, it didn't really matter as Matt and his second shooter were capturing lots of natural shots of what was going on, he captured the formal family shots quickly and when we went outdoors in the evening for photographs with just the two of us, we were ready to stretch our legs and get some fresh air anyway. They blended in so much that we didn't even notice them most of the time but they captured all the key moments as well as the finer details that really helped tell the story of the whole day.

We got the final photos quicker than expected, with easy download options and links to share with guests. We are so happy with the results.

Thanks for capturing our big day so perfectly!

Amazing Photographer - highly recommend!

We came across Matt's online portfolio and was completely blown away. As soon as we initially met with Matt we knew we wanted him to be the one to capture our special day. Such a lovely, down to earth guy, we felt like we’d known him for so long.
Matt and his colleague, Ian, were absolutely amazing throughout our wedding day. They fit straight in and felt like part of the family. They made our party and I feel so comfortable. So many of our family and friends also said how great they were on the day!
We received our photos this week and we could not be happier with them! They capture our wedding day perfectly, we couldn’t have asked for anything better. Thank you so much! x

Perfect. Not good, perfect.

Matt and his associates looked after our wedding, and they were amazing. The guys were great and the photos are stunning. So happy we picked Matt and his guys, I don't think we'd have been as happy with someone else! They thought of everything from photos with bridal prep to photos we didn't even know had been taken when we got them all back. They went above and beyond and would highly recommend them. Thank you again,

Rhian & Dan

Matt Selby - photographer genius.

From the initial in person meet up with Matt, we knew it would be him who we wanted to capture our most magical day.
Such a down to earth guy who we could speak to with ease. And his work is incredible.
The communication we had with Matt was amazing, it was like talking to a friend, and he listened to exactly what we wanted.

Matt & his colleague Christian did a phenomenal job and we are seriously impressed with our beautiful wedding photos. The eye for detail and how to capture the most inchanting pictures is something they've truly got a gift for.

We highly recommend Matt, the quality of his work is to a very high standard.
The free prints Matt gifted to us a way of thank you was a beautiful gesture too.

Thank you again Matt, you've made our memories extra special x
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
