Based in East Dereham, Gina Manning is a specialist wedding photographer delivering natural, documentary-led wedding and engagement photography across Norfolk and the UK. Timeless, emotive imagery.
Gina Manning is a specialist wedding photographer based in East Dereham, working across Norfolk, Norwich and beyond. Her work centres on a documentary-led approach — relaxed, people-first photography that captures the atmosphere and emotion of the day without interrupting it. If you’re looking for wedding photos that feel honest, timeless and unmistakably you, Gina’s photography is tailored to exactly that. Why choose Gina? With over 13 years of experience and around 300 weddings photographed, she brings calm confidence and a practiced eye to every celebration. Gina keeps colours true-to-life and edits subtly to enhance depth and tone rather than following fleeting trends. The result is a gallery of images that will still feel beautiful in ten or twenty years — rich, natural and full of the small, in-between moments that make each wedding unique. What makes her approach special is the balance between storytelling and presence. Gina blends in with your guests, shooting unobtrusively so reactions, laughter and quiet exchanges unfold naturally. She knows the best pockets of light at Norfolk venues and how to create calm moments for portraits while remaining focused on the wider story of the day — from morning preparations through to the party. Her goal is to document how the day felt, not stage how it looked. How Gina works with couples is simple and considered. She encourages a relaxed pre-booking chat — in person, over coffee, or via Zoom — so you can be sure she’s the right fit. On the wedding day she’s friendly and professional, moving quietly through the day to capture candid moments as well as thoughtful portraits when you want them. For couples who want it, Gina also offers pre-wedding/engagement shoots to ease nerves and create images for save-the-dates or guest displays. Gina’s photography is for couples who want to enjoy their day without feeling like they’re in a photoshoot. Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement on the Norfolk coast, a barn celebration, or a city venue in Norwich, Gina focuses on the connections, atmosphere and emotion that matter most. If you want wedding photography that tells your story honestly and beautifully, Gina Manning Photography in East Dereham is here to capture it.
