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.

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 champagne 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.

Here’s a little sneak peek from Harriet & Andrew’s stunning Christmas-themed wedding! Their day began with a magical ceremony at St Wulfram’s Church in Grantham, complete with a choir singing carols, it was truly something special. (All church weddings need a choir!) Hearing ‘Oh Holy Night’ gave me chills and made the hairs on my neck stand up!

Their reception followed at the breath-taking Prestwold Hall. Here’s a sunset shot of the lovely couple by the iconic horse sculpture in the hall’s beautiful grounds. More to come soon! 📷

Who doesn't love alpacas!? 🦙

I had a great time with Ruth & Mark on their wedding day at Oaktree Farm Weddings on Saturday. They were keen to get some shots with the alpacas in the field behind the venue, so we ventured in to try our luck. With the light fading and the unpredictability of animals, I wasn’t sure what we’d capture, but it was absolutely worth it. This moment with the bride, groom, and the alpacas feels truly special!

I love finding ways to frame a couple within natural surroundings, whether under trees or open skies. It’s rare to get a living frame like an alpaca, so this one really stands out!

Also nice to meet some great suppliers that collectively made their day as amazing as it was (tags in the image)

Congratulations to Mr & Mrs Rockey! 🎉

The final shot of last night night with Morag & Warren by the firepit. Capturing the warmth and energy of their celebration, a perfect way to close out the night.
