Matt Selby Photography

Matt Selby Photography I specialise in unique, visually powerful and creative wedding photography. I'm a keen image maker and enjoy all things creative.

If you want photos that tell the story of the day and a few creative show-stoppers on the wall, that is exactly what I do. I'm Matt Selby, a Nottingham based wedding & portrait photographer with a passion for capturing people and their personalities. I predominantly photograph weddings and portraits in Nottingham, Derby and the surrounding areas.

Vikki & Ash | Norwood Park

A half day at Norwood Park for Vikki & Ash, covering their outdoor ceremony, family photographs and some time with the two of them afterwards.

I started with a few aerial shots of Norwood Park. Set amongst the Nottinghamshire countryside, it’s a great way to set the scene and show the surroundings before getting into the wedding itself.

Most of the day was spent outdoors and, from a photography point of view, the light was spot on. Everyone loves a sunny wedding, but strong summer sun can actually be pretty horrible to photograph in. Hard light, harsh shadows and lots of squinting! Vikki & Ash had lovely soft, overcast light which is far more flattering for outdoor photographs.

I love using flash and creating darker, more dramatic images, so this was actually a nice change for me. Every photograph from this wedding was created using natural, ambient light. Not a single flash fired all day!

After the ceremony we photographed a few family groups, then finished with a wander around the grounds for some photographs of Vikki & Ash before they headed off for their evening reception.

Congratulations Vikki & Ash! Here’s a little selection from the day.

One of the things I love most about wedding photography is finding opportunities where most people would simply walk past.

Here's one from golden hour with Gemma & Humzah. The perfect way to end an incredible day. 🌅

Last year was another great year for wedding photography. A lot of brilliant couples, a lot of incredible days, and a lot of moments that I’m proud to have captured.

This January has been full of planning meetings and studio chats with newly engaged couples, talking through ideas, venues and timelines. The diary for 2026 and 2027 is properly moving now, and some of the most popular dates have already gone.

If you are engaged and following along while figuring things out, you are always welcome to come and meet me at the studio for a relaxed, no pressure chat. I never expect anyone to make decisions on the day. Choosing your wedding photographer is a big decision. It should be someone you trust, feel comfortable with, and genuinely like being around.

An in person meeting gives you chance to see more full weddings on the big screen, ask as many questions as you want, and look through the sample albums properly. The 16x12 storybook album in particular is always a bit of a showstopper.

If you would like to check your date or arrange a chat, just drop me a message.

2026 here we come!

Here's a selection of images from Nalisha and Ben’s recent wedding at Horwood House in Buckinghamshire.

A vibrant fusion celebration with colour, emotion and atmosphere from morning through to the evening. The Indian ceremony was packed with energy, family involvement and beautiful traditions, followed later by a relaxed civil ceremony that gave the day a completely different rhythm. Ben’s arrival on horseback was a brilliant moment, and MK Roadshow brought huge energy with the dhol drummers & evening music!

Here’s Katie & Joe’s wedding at Whistle Barns. Hard to pick just 20 stills from over 600, but here’s a snapshot of their amazing day 📸

It was my first visit to Whistle Barns, right in the area I grew up and I’d been looking forward to seeing it. Knowing how good the Best Day Ever Venues are, I knew it wouldn’t disappoint… and it didn’t!

Katie & Joe had the perfect team around them: Epic styling inside the barn, beautiful flowers, amazing food, great music, sunshine all day, and plenty of love and laughter. We even wrapped it up with my first ever ch*****ne spray 🍾 (swipe to the last image for that one!).

If you’re planning a wedding at Whistle Barns, you’ll be in safe hands with the team, they really know how to put on a day to remember.

Another final frame of the night!

🍾 Two bottles. One take. Pure chaos.
📸 Captured in a split second, sealed forever.

Not every wedding needs a ch*****ne spray... but when it fits the vibe, I’m all in! 😎
