A DOCUMENTARY STYLE NORFOLK WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

“One of the UK wedding photographers everyone wants to book” One Fab Day

Lover of sunsets and couples madly in love and getting hitched their own way. Offering creative, modern wedding photography with an alternative, cool edge throughout Norfolk, in London and beyond.

Fan of unconventional wedding venues, saying no to traditions that don’t suit and yes to embracing the ones that do, to bear hugs and big moments, and to quiet nothings and the moments in-between, and heck yes to making wedding photography lots of fun.

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER IN NORFOLK

Hey, I’m a wedding photographer based in the fine city of Norwich, I’ve been photographing gorgeous weddings for over a decade now, and have photographed over 400 in 7 different countries. It sounds like hyperbole but I genuinely love weddings – each one is a new and exciting adventure.

I spent a big 12 year chunk of time living in London, E2 and then SE22, and photographing London weddings still has a big place in my heart and my diary.

Norfolk & Suffolk weddings boast big skies, rugged beaches and beautiful light – contemporary barn venues, beautiful old houses like Voewood, awesome outdoorsy glamping venues and loads of space for celebrations on private land or in gardens.

I also travel all across the UK, and further afield too, to photograph destination weddings; so don’t worry where you are, have car/ticket/flying eagle – will travel.

My style

it’s about (un)cool AF, beautiful images that tell an authentic story. It’s about alternative wedding photography.

It’s about being yourself. It’s about quirky wedding photography that doesn’t look like your cousin’s. It’s about not taking yourself too seriously, it’s about breaking tradition where it suits and it doesn’t care who you’re marrying as long as you’re in love. I shouldn’t need to spell it out but I am a LGBTQ friendly wedding photographer.

We’ve all heard the classic line about being unobtrusive, or a documentary wedding photographer. It’s almost become a cliche, but it’s still true – my aim is to make sure you don’t notice me most of your wedding day – to collect fragments, memories, and to tell your love story like a beautiful piece of cinema. I want you to look back and feel the emotions you felt right there in that moment.

I’m lucky enough to be able to call being a wedding photographer my career for more than 12 years now, having shot my first London wedding in 2011; and in that time I’ve photographed over 450 weddings, in 7 different countries. Each one of them different, amazing and wonderful. I can get pretty soppy but I do genuinely feel like wedding photography is my dream job.

Chaucer Barn, Norfolk

I’m almost speechless…

It was so hard to try and sum up via email how much we love them. It’s near impossible to hold on to those super special feelings you feel on your wedding day, but these help us do just that. Remembering and feeling the emotions of the day all over again. We will truly treasure them forever.

CHARLI & TOM

Asylum, Peckham

Choosing Ellie as our photographer was easily one of the best choices we made for our wedding day.

Her way of working is intuitive and attentive without becoming imposing. She’s also very easy to talk to and made us feel at ease. For two people who are not in any way comfortable in front of a camera, we now have an amazing collection of photos that intimately capture our day; and we’re so grateful.

TERRI & JAMES

VOEWOOD, NORFOLK

The best decision we made was choosing Ellie to photograph our wedding.

Ultimately your wedding is one day, but the right person can keep those moments alive for years to come. Ellie spends time getting to know you and your plans. Her photographs capture the big moments and the small details. On the day she blends with guests and captures the unguarded interactions and gestures, which really are the moments you want to remember forever.
