Ipswich Wedding Photography
Getting married in Ipswich, looking for a wedding photographer?!
Hi! I'm Matt...
A slightly tall, slightly geeky Wedding photographer from 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?!)
Although based in Norwich (dont let that put you off), I love crossing the border for amazing weddings in Ipswich and the surrounding area!
So if you’re looking for an Ipswich 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!”

No staged photos.
No Awkward Posing.
Keeping it Simple & Natural
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!

If you’re planning on having an intimate day or only need a photographer for a few hours, then I might just have the package just for you!
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.

We are so pleased with the wonderful pictures that Matt took of our special day! Matt’s laid back but super attentive nature really put us at ease and calmed any nerves on the day. Neither myself my partner nor I particularly enjoy having our photos taken, so having someone like Matt, who can make taking amazing pictures look quick and easy, is exactly what we needed.
We simply love the photos and narrowing them down to our favourites has been tough! All of our guests have told us how much they love the photos – Matt managed to get a good shot of everyone! Matt was always offering to help us throughout the day and nothing was too much trouble. I highly recommend Matt Dartford Photography and hope we can use him again one day. Thank you so much for everything, Matt!
