Specialist wedding photographer in Chichester. Matt Ryle captures relaxed, documentary-style wedding days with a family-run, bespoke approach and optional hybrid wedding films.
Matt Ryle Photography is a Chichester-based, family-run wedding specialist who approaches every wedding as a story worth preserving. Matt and Bella live and breathe documentary-style wedding photography: their belief is simple — the best images come when you feel relaxed. That honesty shapes their work: unobtrusive, candid and focused on the real moments that make your day unique. Why choose Matt Ryle? Years of photographing West Sussex weddings have taught Matt how to read a day — when to stay invisible and when to step forward for the perfect, emotive frame. He treats each wedding as a bespoke commission, aiming to create heirloom images that bring back the feeling of the day, not just the staged moments. Couples who value atmosphere, natural light and genuine emotion find his style a perfect match: not planned, not posed — just real and beautiful. How Matt works with couples is deliberately personal. From an initial conversation (phone or face-to-face where possible) through to the wedding day, the focus is on making you feel comfortable so you can be present with your guests. Small prompts, gentle direction for group photos and relaxed couple time are woven into the day in a way that never interrupts the flow. Engagement shoots are offered as a helpful option to get to know each other and ease first-time nerves ahead of the big day. Matt also offers hybrid wedding video coverage as an optional complement to the photography. These highlight-style films are designed to capture the mood and movement of your day in a digestible 4–6 minute format that pairs beautifully with the still images — all handled by the same trusted team to keep the day calm and cohesive. Rooted in Chichester and travelling across West Sussex and beyond, Matt Ryle Photography combines practical experience with a warm, down-to-earth approach. If you want a wedding photographer who prioritises presence, honesty and timeless storytelling, Matt and his small family team are ready to listen and document your day with care.
