Matt Ryle wedding Photography is a small family run business based in Chichester, West Sussex. We are also happy to travel up and down the country or internationally for destination weddings. We specialise in photography and video, capturing those unmissable and unforgettable moments on your wedding day, creating heirloom images that are cherished for generations.
With our documentary style wedding photography we create a relaxed atmosphere, using the natural environment and capturing natural reactions.
Wedding days should be fun, but they can also feel overwhelming at times and it's our job to make sure documenting your day isn't something you are worried about.
Who takes the photos? Matt & Bella (and sometimes our 6 year old daughter and 3 year old son help with choosing the best images).
Hi I'm Matt, the lead photographer and videographer here in our little family run wedding photography business in Chichester (I say family run and I mean it, sometimes our daughter loves to give her advice when reviewing the images, she's a budding photographer in the making). My role as your photographer is to capture the photos that help you remember the vibe and essence of the day in a way that doesn't make you feel like you have a camera pointed at you all day long. I want you to sit back and be able to just enjoy the day.
Bella: I am Matt's life partner and mother to our two awesome babies (not so babies anymore) plus photography sidekick. It really is such a privilege to witness and document these incredible life moments for couples and I don't think I will ever get bored of it.

What is documentary style wedding photography?
To us this means capturing the beauty of your wedding day without stopping the flow to take pictures.
