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 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... read more 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.

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.

Matt made our wedding day photography fun and stress free. He even managed to get some candid photos of my husband smiling rather than looking awkward like he usually does... read more 😆 our walk around the city after the ceremony was lovely addition and the photos inside the Royal Arcade and on Elm Hill were absolutely stunning, even despite the rain! We honestly couldn't recommend Matt enough, in the lead up the big day he kept in touch and discussed the finer details with us so that everything ran smoothly on the day, which gave me one less thing to worry about. All our guests have had so many compliments for the photos, which is just testament to Matts skills!
