Suffolk Wedding Photographer
Hi! I'm Matt...
I’m a slightly tall, slightly geeky wedding photographer from East Anglia, specialising in bold, fun, candid, documentary-style wedding photography with a timeless feel.
I’m all about relaxed, laid-back weddings where the focus is on you, your guests, and actually enjoying the day. From happy tears and big laughs to all the daft little moments in between, I capture it all as it naturally happens.
My goal is simple: to blend in, keep things easy, and document your day without interruptions, pressure, or awkward posing — because your wedding day should feel like you, not a photoshoot.
Based in Norwich, I photograph weddings all over East Anglia, including Suffolk, which has some of the most amazing wedding venues!
So, If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who’s approachable, fun, and maybe just a little bit geeky, I’d love to hear from you.
No staged photos.
No Awkward Posing.
Keeping it Simple & Natural

How I work
Rock up & be Awesome!
Whether I’m with you for 3 hours or the full 12, I’m there to tell the story of your day as it unfolds. The emotions, the laughs, the first looks, the smiles, tears, and even the high-fives.
I take a relaxed, no-pressure approach, blending in and letting you and your guests be completely yourselves. My style is friendly and unobtrusive — because it’s your wedding day, not my photoshoot.
It’s the little moments in between that matter just as much as the big ones. Always natural, always honest, always true to your day.
Say What!?

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 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!’

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.

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

From our initial chats through to our wedding evening, Matt was very easy going and a pleasure to work with. Matt listened to our ideas and what we wanted and... read more we can really see this in the photos. Matt used as much of the grounds of Sprowston Manor as we could which produced some amazing shots as well as capturing some great shots throughout the whole day. We are so pleased with the finished pictures and the USB and personalised decorative box was an unexpected but lovely touch. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone.
