Wedding Photography Norfolk, Suffolk & Essex
Norwich Wedding Photographer
Vibrant, Bold & Fun Wedding Photography
A slightly tall, slightly geeky 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! We can’t thank him enough!”
Editorial & Authentic Wedding Storytelling
Killer photos that don’t feel like a photoshoot! It’s your day, it’s your story!
I approach each wedding with a candid and editorial eye, it’s all about capturing those natural moments, those laughs & giggles, the tears of joy and those drunken dance floor moves!
I can’t wait to hear from you!

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 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.

Fantastic! Matt is a lovely chap and a very talented photographer. Throughout the process we trusted Matt completely on what to do, when to get involved and that his photos... read more would be amazing. So many of our guests complimented him afterwards, and we can see why. When he needed to get involved (group shots and the ceremony) he was there, when he needed to be in the background, he was and captured great snaps throughout. We received a lovely note after the day with a USB and selection of prints. A really special touch. Can highly recommend Matt to capture anyone’s special day and add some light creativity for a really magical touch.

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... read more 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!
Sam Coaker
Matt was an absolute pleasure to work with, and he produced some absolutely incredible photo's from our special day we have enjoyed looking through over and over again. Highly recommend.

Matt was our wedding photographer and perfect job he did! He went out if his way to make us comfortable, only took photos that we asked for and was just... read more lovely through out the day. He floated on the background for the natural shots and was there when we wanted particular photos taken. Thank you for take our perfect snaps!
Bethany Gower
Matt was absolutely fantastic! Before the day he took time to chat to us to get to know us and what we wanted. On the day he was really good... read more at organising everyone for photos and had some really good ideas for shots which turned out amazing. The photos we got were so lovely we couldn't be happier with the outcome. Thank you so much Matt, you really captured our special day.

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
