Photographing weddings in Norwich, Norfolk, Suffolk & Essex
Vibrant, Bold & Fun Wedding Photography
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!
Rebecca Halfhide
Matt photographed our wedding at the beginning of December and I can honestly say he was brilliant and we adore the photos he took. My husband and I are not... read more naturally comfortable in front of the camera however Matt made us so relaxed. Everyone on the day said how fantastic he was. Would 100% recommend.
Tasha Curson
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.

We had a dream wedding in a castle and every photo taken gave a true reflection of the castle, our family and friend's and of course us.... read more Matt listened to what we wanted and delivered exactly that... natural photos that told our story, it didnt even feel as if he was there and everyone shared how fab he was. Would Absolutely recommend Matt... awesome!!!
Hazel Jones
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
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.

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