Looking for a fun and confident Norwich Wedding Photographer?...

Hi! I'm Matt...

Hi, I’m Matt — a slightly tall, slightly geeky wedding photographer based in Horsham St Faith, just outside Norwich. Norwich is my home city, and it’s where I photograph more weddings than anywhere else.

I’m a photographer who specialises in bold, fun, candid, documentary-style wedding photography with a timeless feel. No forced posing, no stiff line-ups (unless you want them!) — just your day as it actually happens, captured in a genuine, natural way.

Norwich has some genuinely brilliant wedding venues, Ive photographed all the big ones and most of the little ones!  From Norwich Castle to the brilliant Assembly House. From The Georgian Townhouse to the historic Dragon Hall. There’s so much choice, and so many beautiful places in this beautiful city.

We can’t begin to express how happy we are with our pictures, and just as importantly, how amazing Matt made us feel, both on the day and while looking back at our pictures. I would recommend Matt in a heartbeat!

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!

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. 

Always natural, always honest – Capturing your wedding day as it is.
