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.

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.

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 don’t even know where to begin, if you’re thinking of booking Matt, seriously do it, this man is amazing.

I couldn’t list a single thing that wasn’t fantastic about him. On the first meeting, he was professional, and friendly, got our vibe, got what we liked, listened to us and instantly felt like a friend. In the build up he was in touch, made us feel we could contact him, and gave us suggestions just everything you could want.

On the day, well you can see how this is going to go. He was perfect!
