Your Wedding Day
I’m Matt — a documentary wedding photographer and filmmaker based in Chichester, specialising in relaxed, natural storytelling across West Sussex, the South Downs and beautiful barn and woodland venues. My approach is simple: natural, honest, documentary wedding photography that tells the real story of your day.
I blend in quietly, capturing the small moments you might miss and the big emotions you’ll never forget — without staging, pressure or awkward posing. Whether you're planning a countryside ceremony, a Sussex barn celebration, or a woodland wedding, I focus on real interactions, warm light and the atmosphere that makes your day uniquely yours
My Approach to Your wedding Day
Your wedding day isn’t a photoshoot — it’s a once‑in‑a‑lifetime gathering of your favourite people. My approach is relaxed, unobtrusive and story‑driven, focused on real emotions, natural interactions and the meaningful details that define your day.
No forced poses. No staged moments. Just the genuine story of your wedding, beautifully told.
Photography & Film That Belong Together
As both a photographer and filmmaker, I offer seamless coverage that captures not just how your day looked — but how it felt.
You can choose photography only, or add a natural, emotive wedding film that tells the full story. If you'd like to see more about this approach to documenting your wedding day Click here
