Norwich & Norfolk Wedding Photographer
Suffolk, Essex, London
A slightly tall, slightly geeky Norwich & Norfolk Wedding Photographer based in Norwich!
I specialise in bold, fun, candid & documentary-style Wedding photography with a timeless look and feel.
I love laid-back weddings where the focus is on you, your day and the people around you. Capturing those moments and emotions, and all the silly stuff in between.
My mission on the day is to capture everything I can in a relaxed and casual way, allowing you and your guests’ character to shine without interference or pressure (because who needs that on your wedding day?!)
Based in Norwich, I photograph weddings all over East Anglia – Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and occasionally London.
So if you’re looking for a Wedding photographer who’s fun, and occasionally a little nerdy, then I’d love to hear from you!
“Matt was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer, and he really did make our day so special!
He captured our day with beautiful, natural and candid style snapshots, and we can’t thank him enough!”

Matt produced stunning wedding photos for us. He was very friendly and made everyone feel so at ease on the day. He captured all the small details and got the... read more vibe of the wedding captured to a T.

We couldn’t be happier that we chose Matt as our wedding photographer. We enquired with Matt initially because we were so impressed with the quality of work on his website... read more portfolio when we were first planning our wedding. We were also really over the moon with the price of his services compared to other photographers. For the amount of work Matt did on our big day and the results we have ended up with we really are so ecstatic and we wouldn’t even think recommending any other photographer to anyone other than Matt. When we first contacted Matt to enquire his availability, he offered to come to our house or meet at a mutual place and meet face to face to have a no obligation chat which we thought was a really nice personal touch instead of just doing everything on the phone/email. Another thing that made us book Matt was his general persona, as soon as he came for a chat at our house we knew we wanted Matt as our wedding photographer there and then. Matt is a really nice chilled down to earth guy who you can also just have a great chat and laugh with as well as work alongside. Matt also done a pre-wedding shoot for us in a scenic woodland location, we did leave this slightly last minute so we’re so thankful that Matt was able to be flexible and fit us in for this. The outcome of these photos were so so beautiful. I honestly could not fault ANYTHING about Matt. A blooming incredible photographer and have absolutely no regrets about booking at all. So many of our guests at the wedding complimented Matt to us afterwards. The outcome of our wedding photos are simply amazing and I’m so so thankful for everything. Matt kindly uploaded our gallery online after the wedding for us and family/friends to access - and in such a quick timeframe, I thought we would be waiting for at least 6 weeks for so many photos but it was under a month! A couple weeks later Matt then sent us our photos on a USB and a load of prints (didn’t realise we would get prints too) in a beautiful personalised box. Matt was there from when I was getting ready in the morning all the way through to the evening, so covered all of the day which is exactly what we wanted. Another thing we loved about Matt was when we first spoke to him he explained he doesn’t have a set ‘religious’ timeframe he stays for like other photographers do. He works around your day and tailors his time around you, he will stay until he knows he has enough photos and has covered all the evening action - and he certainly did just that. I was also really thankful that Matt captured some photographs of my younger brother at our wedding who hates having his photo taken due to his autism. Matt was so slick and discreet my younger brother didn’t even know he had photos taken of him but I’ve now got some photos of him at our wedding as a lovely memory that I didn’t think I would’ve had before. We are very lucky and blessed to have found Matt when planning our wedding and he captured the most beautiful photographs. Working with Matt was a breeze. We really can’t thank you enough, for capturing our special day. Just perfect. Thank you thank you thank you. ❤️

Right I don't even know where to begin, if you're thinking of booking Matt, seriously do it, this man is amazing. I couldn't list a single thing that wasn't fantastic... read more about him. On first meeting, he was professional, friendly, got our vibe, got what we liked, listened to us and instantly felt like a friend. In the build up he was in touch, made us feel we could contact him, gave us suggestions just everything you could want. On the day, well you can see how this is going to go. He was perfect. He was respectful and kind, he was funny, he helped when I needed people and couldn't find them. He made changes when I suddenly decide to cut some of the 'formal photos' list me and my husband had asked for, because trying get the right people together was like trying to heard cats. But he could see I was getting worried and just understood exactly what I needed. And on top of that, his photography is gorgeous. I saw these previews and I just cried, having always felt self conscious Matt gave me the photos I didn't think I could get. Honestly you will never ever regret having Matt, if you want the best photos to remind you of your wedding day, he's 100% the one you should be booking. Thanks Matt, for everything

We had a dream wedding in a castle and every photo taken gave a true reflection of the castle, our family and friend's and of course us.... read more Matt listened to what we wanted and delivered exactly that... natural photos that told our story, it didnt even feel as if he was there and everyone shared how fab he was. Would Absolutely recommend Matt... awesome!!!
Hazel Jones
We couldn't recommend Matt more highly, we had a small wedding and hate being photographed so we didn't give him the easiest task but he smashed it! He got... read more our vibe from the first phone call, nothing was too much trouble, he was great with our family and friends and we adore the photographs he took. He made our day and the lovely way the USB stick of photos he sent us was presented really topped off the feeling that he's a thoughtful guy, thank you so much Matt.

I highly recommend Matt Dartford Photography to anyone looking for a a high-quality, enjoyable experience. Matt has a great command of people, which really came in handy at my wedding... read more at Dunston Hall Hotel - he was able to corale people into the right places at the right time in a positive manner. I was so impressed with his ability to capture both the standard formals and the natural photographs that look amazing. We all know how difficult it is to capture a nice, in the moment photo! I've added some of my favourite pictures that he took of our day.

I wish I could rate higher than 5 stars! Matt shot our wedding day and the photos are just phenomenal, we're both so happy with the whole gallery and... read more the comments from friends and family have been glowing. Throughout the process, Matt was excellent in communicating with us, getting a feel for our interests and how we'd like the photos to be shot. It was super easy to get all invoices paid up and get the show on the road! On the day, Matt was superb. Friendly, approachable and utterly hilarious, he really made it such a fun time. We're not the types to take many photos so it was a bit daunting to have so many in such a short space of time, but Matt put us at ease and made it easy. I'd recommend him to anyone, without a second thought!

I would absolutely recommend Matt to anyone who is thinking of hiring him for photography. We hired him for our wedding in Oct 23, and not only was he responsive... read more to emails and working out the plan beforehand, he was a joy to work with on the day. But the best part is the photos that he has produced are incredible and have helped me remember the day with such clarity and joy that I feel I'll be able to keep the spirit of that day alive for years to come. Everyone I've shown them to has been similarly impressed, my new father in law has made the traditional family calendar for this year featuring several of the photos, and my mother has reliably informed me she has ordered several of the prints and will be adding them to the wall with pride. 10/10, excellent service, excellent product, excellent person.

Matt was very professional, friendly and unobtrusive throughout my daughter's wedding. He put everyone at ease and took some amazing photographs. Would 100% recommend.
