Norwich Castle Wedding Photography Guide

Up to 50, and that includes your two witnesses and your photographer. You two and the registrars don’t count.

I do! If you hold a Blue Light Card (or you work for the NHS, emergency services, teaching, or the armed forces), get in touch, and I’ll happily apply a discount to your wedding photography package. The exact discount varies slightly depending on which package you book, the venue and the date, but it’s always a meaningful amount rather than a token gesture. Just mention your Blue Light Card (or your role) when you get in touch, and I’ll factor it into the quote from the start.

For a full-day wedding, 650–1000 is pretty typical. Of course, so much depends on guest numbers and what you have going on during the day. More guests typically mean more photos. And if you have a bouncy castle that your tipsy aunt decides to have a go on, expect even more photos — because who doesn’t like to laugh at a drunk family relative on a bouncy castle? Every photo in your final gallery is individually edited and chosen because it’s actually worth keeping. I don’t bulk-deliver every shot I take; I cull the near-duplicates, the missed-focus frames, and the ones where your nan blinked — so what you end up with is a gallery of really good photos rather than a hard drive full of filler.

Half-day bookings usually come in around 300–500 photos, depending on what’s covered. Either way, you’ll have plenty.

In 3–5 weeks after your ceremony, I’ll upload your images to a private online gallery. These are web-sized and perfect for online sharing on Facebook, Instagram and anywhere else you’d like to show them off. You’ll get a password-protected link you can share with family and guests, and there’s an optional built-in shop if anyone wants to order prints or books directly.

Then, roughly two weeks after the gallery goes live, the full high-resolution versions land on a branded USB/memory stick, delivered to your door. These are the print-ready files — very high resolution — so you can make albums, wall prints, or whatever else you fancy. If you’ve booked me for a full day, you’ll also receive a hand-picked selection of printed photos as part of the package. I want you to actually see your images in real life, not just on a screen.

Absolutely! I’m more than happy to offer discounts for out-of-season weddings or Monday–Thursday dates. Peak weekends in summer book up fastest and cost more across the industry; mid-week and off-season dates are often a lot of fun, a lot less stressful to plan (venues have more availability, suppliers are less stretched), and come with a nicer price tag attached. “Out of season” for me usually means November through March, and mid-week is anything Monday to Thursday. If your date falls into one of those brackets, let me know when you get in touch, and I’ll factor the discount straight into your quote.

Castle Quarter car park is probably the best option for most people. It’s directly under the castle, so it’s only a short walk to the entrance. 

Yes. A sound system is provided; bring your music on a phone and connect via Bluetooth. 

No. Flash isn’t allowed inside the castle, but the big window gives lovely natural light, so it isn’t needed.

Yes. It must be biodegradable, and it isn’t allowed outside the main entrance. The bridge is the perfect spot anyway.

I like to get a small selection ready a day or two after the wedding, with the rest coming over in 3–5 weeks, depending on the time of year.

Yes, it’s a working museum, but your room is private. Do expect visitors to be milling about when you arrive and leave.
