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!”

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!

Amazing photographer and a lovely guy (which was important us). Really listens to what you want and has tons of initiative for some cool shots you wouldn't have thought of.... read more Can't recommend enough

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.

Matt photographed our wedding day, and he was outstanding. From start to finish he got so many amazing pictures, some of which you don't even realise he's taking. He is... read more exceptional value for money, and was completely relaxed about how long he stayed - and so many photographers are not. Don't hesitate to book Matt!
Rebecca Bemment
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 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.

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... read more to treasure forever. Cannot recommend enough. If i could give 10 stars I would!

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!
