Vibrant, Bold & Fun Wedding Photography

Hi! I'm Matt...

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!”

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!

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.
