Natural wedding, family and portrait photography in Woodbridge and the Deben Valley — outdoor sessions at Sutton Hoo, the Tide Mill and along the beautiful River Deben.
Book a SessionWoodbridge is widely considered one of the most beautiful small towns in Suffolk — a former shipbuilding and milling town on the River Deben, famous for its historic Tide Mill, its flourishing independent arts and food scene, and the discovery at Sutton Hoo nearby of one of the most important Anglo-Saxon treasures in British history. The town's character — handsome flint churches, timber-framed houses, colourful boats on the tidal river — makes it an exceptional setting for wedding and portrait photography.
I photograph weddings, families, couples, newborns and individuals in Woodbridge and across east Suffolk — Ipswich, Aldeburgh, Framlingham, Orford and the Heritage Coast. Sutton Hoo, the Deben estuary and Rendlesham Forest are outstanding outdoor portrait locations, while Woodbridge town centre provides striking historic streetscape settings. I travel across Suffolk and the wider East Anglia for weddings throughout the year.
