Look → Tell us → Get a clear quote → Relax.
A quick introduction to what we do.
We craft photography that helps couples relive their wedding day in a natural way.
WHY COUPLES CHOOSE US
Most couples tell me exactly the same thing…
“We’re really awkward in front of the camera.”, “We don’t want you in our face.”, “We want our day to be ours, not a photoshoot”.
Perfect.
You’re exactly the sort of couple I love photographing.
You don’t need to know how to pose.
You don’t need to perform.
You don’t need to spend your wedding worrying about the camera.
Instead, I’ll quietly capture your day as it naturally unfolds.
- The laughter.
- The hugs.
- The nerves.The children running around.
- Your dog stealing the show.
- The moments you’ll completely miss because you’re too busy enjoying your wedding.
Those are the photographs you’ll treasure forever.
Absolutely fantastic photographer, if you are thinking of booking Neil, run dont walk! Every single moment of our special day was captured beautifully, we were put at ease and are truly grateful for such beautiful memories to cherish.

THIS ISN'T ABOUT TAKING PHOTOS...
It’s about making your whole wedding feel easier.
From the first phone call, you’ll have someone who is always happy to help.
Need advice?
Message me.
Unsure about timings?
I’ll help.
Want ideas for photographs?
Just ask.
Planning a full-day wedding?
I’ll even visit your venue beforehand so we’re both completely prepared before the big day arrives.
- No disappearing after you’ve booked.
- No automated emails spamming.
- Just one photographer who genuinely cares about your wedding.
Neil was our wedding photographer and he's been nothing short of amazing! He went through everything clearly before the day which took a lot of stress away, and kept in contact regularly. Neil completely took on board what we said we would like, and although we've only had our first look photos back so far, they are better than we ever could have hoped for. He's done such a good job of capturing the colourful, fun day we were hoping for and I couldn't have asked for anything more. I would highly recommend Neil!

WHAT MAKES THETFORD PHOTOGRAPHY DIFFERENT?
Relaxed from start to finish
- No shouting.
- No bossing guests around.
- No turning your wedding into a fashion shoot.
- Just calm guidance whenever you need it.
Perfect if you're camera shy
Most of my couples say they hate having photographs taken.
By the end of the day they’re telling me how much they actually enjoyed it.
Brilliant with children (and dogs!)
Children don’t always smile on demand.
Dogs rarely do.
That’s completely fine.
Patience usually creates better photographs than pressure ever could.
Neil was an amazing photographer his energy and effort towards making us feel comfortable and enjoy ourselves was amazing. The photos turned out amazing better than I could’ve imagined and the fact that he got to give us some photos the next day so we’re not waiting for all of them in one go for a very long while was incredible. His enthusiasm towards his job was really nice to see and I’d definitely recommend him again in a heartbeat!

Small wedding or micro wedding?
Choosing an experienced full-time photographer gives you complete peace of mind.
Every wedding includes professional contracts, insurance, written schedules, planning documentation and secure backups.
Everything is organised so you can simply enjoy your day.
Neil was absolutely brilliant throughout our wedding day, nothing was too much to ask for and he even bought in specific props for us to capture amazing photos that we liked the look of online. (He even helped me and my best men do our ties properly).
He helped guide everyone to the correct places, making our lives easier, and even after he'd packed away and I asked for one last group photo he brought his gear back out for us.
Thank you Neil for being so great, highly recommended for any event but again, we're thrilled to have had you for such an important day in our lives.

I only take on a limited number of weddings each year
I deliberately keep my diary small.
That means every couple gets my full attention before, during and after the wedding.
You’re never just another booking.
You’re the only wedding I’m thinking about when your day arrives

FAQ
Perfect.
Most of my couples do.
I’ll gently guide you when needed, then leave you to enjoy your day.
No problem.
Coverage starts from just 2 hours for smaller weddings and elopements.
Absolutely.
I photograph weddings throughout Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Essex and beyond.
Yes.
Fully insured with professional contracts, planning documents and secure image backups.
Yes, I’ve been using Photoshop since the mid-ninties so have over 25 years of experience.
Minor edits are within the cost, more intricate work will incur an additional cost but this will be discussed before undertaking.
As long as you are no more than a few miles apart I can photograph both parties preparations as this has been done many times. Most of the preparation time is devoted to the bride, but I can discuss individual options with a couple during the planning meetings.
Yes, of course! It’s not for everyone but it is often popular with members of the wedding parties. I often try to get the groups as informal groups while enjoying the day but it’s not a time consuming thing to organise during the normal process of the day.
They could, but whether it’s on your wedding day, or when you see your photos or years down the line, you will regret it!
A professional photographer such as myself has photographed many, many weddings, I have professional equipment that costs £10,000+, I have the experience to ensure your day runs smoothly, the technical knowledge to deal with any situation, back-up equipment in case something breaks. I know how to take great photos and edit them before you even see them! You’ll be confident to get photos that you will love and cherish for the rest of your lives. I am dedicated to providing you with glorious photos and you’ll love what I do.
Do you provide drone photographyI love capturing real moments. To be honest, I get bored photographing the same things, so get all excited looking for new ones. Many of the photos I take, I could never have created myself, even if you gave me an lifetime. The expressions, the laughter, the mood and feeling of the photo – it’s real, this can’t be created.
It depends on how many weddings I have photographed just before yours, but it usually takes between 4 and 6 weeks. Around 3-4 weeks for November to May weddings, approx 6 weeks for June to October weddings.
There is no limit to the number of photos you will receive, but usually it is around 50-80/hr working – each one fully edited to the highest possible standard and consistent with the look you decided on for your photos you can see on my Wedding Styles page.
Absolutely! You receive all your pictures fully edited via a digital download gallery with permission to use them for personal use. Share the gallery link and password with anyone, anywhere in the world and they will be able to view and download the images to share and print themselves.
Yes, in the quieter periods of the day during bridal prep or when guests and yourselves are relaxing and mingling, I will be busy finding those little shots of the details you’ve collated to make your day yours.
If there’s something with specific sentimental value make sure I know about it and I’ll ensure I get it first, while it’s at it’s best.
