Clifford Vale Photography

Hi — I’m Carl Clifford, the face behind Clifford Vale Photography. Born and raised in Dedham Vale, my love of light, landscape and honest storytelling began with the countryside on my doorstep. For more than 20 years I’ve specialised in wedding photography across Ipswich, Felixstowe, Sudbury and the wider Suffolk area, helping couples relax and enjoy their day while I quietly capture what matters. I position myself as a wedding specialist: a professional wedding day photographer who balances classic, modern and reportage approaches to create a complete visual story. My style is adaptable — I’ll blend relaxed, candid reportage with beautiful posed portraits and contemporary bridal photography so you get both the spontaneous moments and the timeless family images. That flexibility means you’ll have professional wedding photos that reflect your day, your personalities and the atmosphere of your venue. My approach is simple and personal. I begin with a friendly conversation to understand your plans and what you want from your wedding photos. On the day I work unobtrusively during ceremony and reception moments, and step in for calm, directed portrait sessions when family or formal shots are needed. My aim is to make everyone feel at ease — even those who are camera-shy — so the smiles and emotion I capture look natural and genuine. Couples value my dedication to quality and good value. I offer options from digital-only collections to beautifully crafted story book albums, and I’ll tailor coverage to suit your schedule and tastes. Whether you want full-day coverage or a more intimate celebration documented with care, I’ll focus on delivering images that tell the story of your wedding day. If you’re planning a wedding in Ipswich or anywhere in Suffolk and want a photographer who specialises in capturing heartfelt, professional wedding photos, let’s have a friendly chat about your day. Clifford Vale Photography specialises in wedding photography and engagement photography, and also offers portrait sessions at the studio for couples and families wanting professional images beyond the big day.
