Chris Loneragan Photography - Norfolk Wedding Photographer

I’m Chris Loneragan, a Norfolk wedding photographer based in East Dereham with a clear focus: capturing real moments and genuine emotion on your wedding day. My practice is built around a documentary-led approach — I look for the unscripted, human moments that reveal the story of your celebration. Whether it’s a quiet exchange between you and your partner, a heartfelt smile from a guest, or the spontaneous joy on the dance floor, I aim to record these scenes with sensitivity and an unobtrusive presence. What sets my wedding photography apart is a blend of calm direction and attentive observation. I prefer to blend into the background so the day can unfold naturally, stepping in only when a little guidance will help create a beautiful frame. This means couples who are camera-shy often relax quicker, and the images feel more authentic and timeless. I care deeply about light, composition and timing, and I use those elements to craft photographs that feel honest and enduring rather than overly staged. Working with me is straightforward and personable. I begin by listening — getting to know you, your plans, and what matters most about your images. Many couples choose to include an engagement session to get comfortable in front of the camera and build rapport before the wedding day. On the day itself I keep the atmosphere relaxed, professional and warm, collaborating with you and your suppliers to capture the flow of the day without interrupting it. Being local to East Dereham gives me practical insight into Norfolk venues, light and landscapes, which helps when scouting locations for portraits or anticipating key moments. My aim is to deliver a cohesive collection of wedding photos that tell the whole story: the details, the emotions and the scenes you’ll remember for years. If you’re looking for a specialist wedding photographer in Norfolk who values authenticity, calm direction and narrative-driven images, I’d love to hear about your plans and how I can help preserve them in photographs you’ll treasure.
