Fun, natural & Bold Wedding Photography

Capturing fun and natural images of your best day ever!

Norfolk Wedding Photographer

Wedding photography is more than just taking pictures—it’s about telling the story of your day!

Hi, my name’s Matt! – I’m a slightly tall, slightly geeky Norfolk Wedding Photographer! I specialise in bold, fun,  candid & documentary-style Wedding photography with a timeless look and feel. 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 through 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 photographer who’s fun, and occasionally a little nerdy then I’d love to hear from you!

Let’s nerd out together and chat about your wedding plans and ideas!

How I work....

Rock up & be Awesome!

If I’m with you for 3 or 12 hours I’m there to tell your story – Capturing all the action as the day unfolds. All the emotions, the laughs, the first looks, grins, smiles and tears to the high-fives!
I have a relaxed approach, never putting anyone under pressure, leaving you and your guests to be themselves. 

My style is friendly and unobtrusive. After all, it’s your wedding day, not my photoshoot. It’s not just about the big moments, but the little ones in between. 

Always natural, always honest – Capturing your wedding day as it is.

Some Google Reviews

  • Matt photographed our wedding and was a dream to work with. He was attentive to our requests, very enthusiastic, and a great communicator. On the day he really got to grips with the venue, took time to frame the family and friends shots we asked for, and slipped unobtrusively around us and our guests for the day to get some really beautiful pictures (which he sent us a bunch of as lovely prints - an unexpected gift!). We were so happy with his photos; neither of us is that comfy in front of a camera but he made us feel so at ease. Not only is he a great photographer, he’s a lovely guy too. A pleasure to work with.

    Enthusiastic, easy to deal with, with excellent customer service. Matt does all that is needed and nothing is too much trouble. Definitely recommend him.

    Matt has photographed my wedding and we have recently had family pictures done, his work is exceptional. The pictures he captures are so emotive and truly leave you with memories to treasure forever. Cannot recommend enough. If i could give 10 stars I would!

  • Matt took photos for us at our wedding in July 2022. He was absolutely great! In the run up to the day he had a big chat with us about his approach and asked us what sort of thing we were after, and was always happy to answer questions on email too. On the day he was so brilliant - he really made me and the groom feel relaxed the whole time, and took loads of photos of our friends and family having a great time, as well as things like the formal photos, ceremony and speeches, which was exactly what we wanted. I normally feel really uncomfortable having my picture taken and hate how I look in them, but he made me feel really at ease and not awkward, even during the prep when I was having make up done. We really love the photos he took, they bring back so many great memories of the day. Can't recommend him highly enough! Thanks Matt.

    Matt made our wedding day so special. He was so friendly and made everyone feel at ease, blended in and was like part of our family. We were delighted with the photographs and the presentation box containing the USB memory stick. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Matt to give you precious memories of a special occasion.

    We cannot recommend Matt's services enough. He was absolutely wonderful on our wedding day and we couldn't feel more lucky to have had him with us. I've had multiple guests compliment his work and his attitude. The photos we've had back so far are beautiful and I'm very pleased with them. I'm normally very uncomfortable with other people taking my photo but Matt was incredibly easy to talk to and had a great sense of humour which helped massively! Matt, also a special thank you for helping me with my veil! You're a star!

  • 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 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.

    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.

    Matt photographed our wedding in August and I can’t explain how pleased we are with the photos we received. We were looking for someone to capture all the small special parts of our day while allowing us to be relaxed and Matt did this. He met with us before the wedding to discuss our requirements and was always easy to contact. Our photos arrived a month after our wedding and did not disappoint, thank you Matt for all your hard work!
