About the Photographer

Hi — I’m Matt. A slightly tall, slightly geeky wedding photographer based in East Dereham who loves nothing more than spending a day telling a couple’s story through honest, natural images. I specialise in documentary-style wedding photography with a bold, fun edge: candid moments, real laughter, and the tiny details that make your day uniquely yours. Why choose me? I blend a relaxed, unobtrusive approach with a designer’s eye (I also work as an illustrator and retoucher), so your photos look authentic and beautifully finished. I aim for photographs that feel true to the way your day actually was — bright, honest, and totally timeless — rather than faddy edits that’ll date quickly. My couples often say I make them feel at ease, and that’s because I prefer to be part of the day, not create one. How I work: we start with a proper chat — phone, coffee, or a meet at your venue — to hear your plans and get the vibe right. On the wedding day I’m there to capture everything I can without creating pressure: I’ll step in for key moments, suggest relaxed couple portraits, but mostly I watch for the emotions, smiles and spontaneous scenes that you’ll want to look back on. I love dancefloor madness, quiet in-between glances, and the small stories your guests create. If you’d like, I can include a short engagement session near East Dereham to help you get comfortable in front of the camera beforehand. After the day I carefully edit each image to my true-to-life style — no overcooked colours, just clean, emotive pictures that work beautifully in print and online. I aim to send a few sneak peeks soon after your wedding and deliver the full gallery within a few weeks, so you can start reliving the day quickly. I photograph weddings across Norfolk and the surrounding counties. If you want a friendly, slightly nerdy photographer who’s serious about storytelling and passionate about capturing real moments, let’s nerd out about your plans and make some lovely photos together.
