You have found this page because you are looking for an alternative Suffolk wedding venue. I am here to help.

 

Hey, I'm Becky

A wedding photographer, on a mission to bring colour, style, and personal connection through photography.

What makes me different to other photographers is that you not only get a supplier, you get a laid-back foodie friend who loves to get to know you and your individuality, and in turn, you get colourful, relaxed photos of real moments. Plus I am always up for a meet-up down the pub to chat over your plans, and we get to hang out on your wedding day!

If you’re planning a colourful wedding that’s all about you, being with your friends and family and celebrating your loves in life – a wedding isn’t afraid to a little different, I am your gal!
