I'm Tommy — a Norwich-based photographer specialising in alternative wedding photography, gothic and dark-aesthetic weddings, creative portraits, and events across Norfolk and beyond. I work with people who don't want stiff, traditional images — but something more honest, more expressive, and a little different. I'm proudly LGBTQIA+ friendly and have photographed same-sex weddings, queer ceremonies, and celebrations of every kind. Whether it's a wedding, a portrait session, or a live event, my approach is the same: natural, observant, and quietly creative.
If you’re planning a wedding and want something that feels like you — not a checklist of posed shots — you’re in the right place.
As a wedding photographer in Norwich and Norfolk, I focus on real moments as they unfold. The in-between glances, the chaos, the calm, and everything that makes your day yours.
No awkward posing. No forced smiles. Just thoughtful, documentary-style photography with a creative edge. Whether your wedding involves leather jackets and motorbikes, lace and candlelight, two brides, two grooms, or anything wonderfully in between — I'm here for it.
If your aesthetic leans darker, stranger, or more unconventional, that's genuinely my comfort zone. My background is in subculture fashion, urbex photography, and working with designers and models who push boundaries. I understand dark florals, dramatic makeup, non-traditional venues, and the kind of wedding that makes people do a double take. If you've been struggling to find a photographer who actually gets your vision rather than politely tolerating it — let's talk
👉 View Wedding Photography
My portrait work blends storytelling with environment — creating images that feel personal, cinematic, and grounded in real places.
From individuals and couples to creatives and brands, I shoot portraits that go beyond the standard headshot — relaxed, expressive, and full of character.

From intimate gatherings to large-scale events, I document what actually happens — not just what it’s supposed to look like.
Working discreetly, I capture atmosphere, interactions, and the details that tell the full story of your event.
👉 View Event Photography
My background in creative and environmental portraiture shapes everything I do. I’m drawn to interesting light, unusual locations, and moments that might otherwise go unnoticed. That means your photos won’t feel generic — they’ll feel like something real, something personal, and something worth coming back to.
I’m based in Norwich and regularly photograph weddings, portraits, and events across Norfolk, Suffolk, and further afield.
