Wide coverage area
Serving Norwich, wider Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and East Anglia. UK-wide travel for destination weddings on request.
Norwich has some of East Anglia’s best venues.
From historic landmarks to elegant hotels and barns on the edge of the city. I regularly photograph weddings at venues in and around Norwich, including:
Whether your ceremony is in a Norwich church, a registry office, a rustic barn or a country house just outside the city, I’ll work with the light, the architecture and the landscape to create images that feel true to your wedding.
Brilliant backdrops, quiet coverage.
Every wedding is different, and Norwich offers brilliant backdrops — cobbled streets and historic buildings, riverside walks and woodland edges. I use a blend of natural light, storytelling composition and cinematic colour to create images and films that feel timeless and emotional.
Most of the day, I work quietly in the background so you and your guests can relax. I focus on real moments — the laughter, the nerves, the hugs, the unexpected — rather than stiff, posed shots. When we do take a few couple portraits around Norwich or your venue, I keep it simple, fun and natural.
One creative, complete story.
As a full-time wedding photographer and videographer, I offer combined packages that deliver:
- Emotional cinematic highlight film
- Drone aerial shots of your venue and surroundings where permitted
- 6K video footage for incredible clarity
- 360-degree immersive clips for fun, dynamic moments
- Audio guestbook recordings, capturing messages from your guests
- Natural, documentary wedding photography throughout the day
- Full editing and colour grading of every delivered image
- Private online gallery with download rights
Everything captured by one creative in a unified style — no need to book separate teams for photo and video. Keeps things simpler, more relaxed and more consistent from morning prep to the evening party.

Common questions from Norwich couples.
Practical answers about coverage, video options, travel and packages. Anything else? Send a message — replies within 24 hours.
Do you cover Norwich city centre weddings?
Yes — I frequently photograph weddings in Norwich city centre, including venues such as The Assembly House, Norwich Castle and local churches, as well as nearby barns and hotels.
City-centre coverage works particularly well with my documentary style — Norwich’s cobbled streets, historic architecture and riverside walks make brilliant backdrops for couple portraits between formal moments.
Do you travel outside Norwich?
Absolutely. I cover all of Norwich, the wider Norfolk countryside, plus Suffolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire. I also travel further across the UK and for destination weddings on request.
Travel within Norwich and Norfolk is included as standard. Wider UK travel quoted at booking based on distance and overnight requirements.
Do you offer videography in Norwich?
Yes — I provide cinematic wedding films alongside photography, with the option to include drone footage, 360-degree clips and audio guestbook recordings as part of your coverage.
Hybrid photo + video coverage from one creative means consistent style across both deliverables and a calmer wedding day with one supplier rather than two.
Can we book you for photo and video together?
Yes. Many couples in Norwich choose combined photography and videography for a complete story of their day. It keeps things simpler and ensures your photos and films match in style and feel.
See the photo + video packages page for current pricing and what’s included in each tier.
How far in advance should we book?
Popular dates — particularly summer Saturdays — book up 12 to 18 months in advance for Norwich. If you have a date in mind, it’s worth checking availability as early as possible.
I take on a limited number of weddings per year to ensure each couple gets full attention and the quality of work the studio is known for.
What’s included in Norwich wedding coverage?
Every Norwich wedding package includes: full editing and colour grading of all images, private online gallery with download rights, pre-wedding planning consultation, relaxed couple portrait session during the day, and fast turnaround with gallery delivered within 6-8 weeks.
