Are you planning a short-notice, small wedding or elopement?
Many couples don’t want to wait. They are planning to get married in the very near future, eloping, or rushing a small ceremony with their photographer, some close friends, and family but dispensing with or postponing the reception party.

Dominic Whiten
Hi, I'm Dominic. I've worked in photography for more years than I care to admit to (it's more than half my life), and began shooting weddings in 2008. More than 10 years later and I still put my heart and soul into photographing each and every wedding, with the aim of providing my couples with a set of artistic, timeless and beautiful photographs that tell the story of their day. After many years in London and the South-East, I've made my home on the Suffolk coast - I pinch myself every day to be fortunate enough to live in a truly beautiful part of the country.

Hannah & Jonny
Hi Dominic, We just wanted to say a huge thank you for everything you did at our wedding yesterday, we had so many people telling us how wonderful you were! You made us both (and all our guests), feel so comfortable, relaxed and made the experience of having our photos taken easy and good fun. Honestly couldn’t have asked for someone better! Thank you for making our day so special, from the moment you arrived in the morning until our exit at the end of the evening - we can’t wait to see the photos when they’re all ready! Hannah & Jonny

Olivia & Chris
We just want to say a really huge THANK YOU for providing Chris and Livi with so many beautiful reminders of a truly magical day. Despite the rather rubbish weather you truly excelled in being in the right place at the right time and, as always, capturing that precious moment in time whilst seeming so unobtrusive. Not only did you stay for the entire day but also most of the night! Plus giving up time to return on the Monday evening to take those extra, sunny and relaxed shots shows a dedication far beyond what most would contemplate. We are all so very glad we chose you to immortalise The Day and I will continue to promote your work to any couples I can. Gunilla (Mother of the Groom)

Stacey & Nick
We wanted to send you a huge thank you for the wonderful photos you captured from our wedding day! We are so pleased that you agreed to be our photographer and are overwhelmed by the shots you produced. The albums arrived on Christmas Eve - the perfect gift for our parents. They are just brilliant and our Mum's can't stop looking at them! Everyone we have shared the photos with has loved them as much as we do and we are so grateful you were able to capture some truly special memories such as Nick's Grandma at the Church. Aside from the fantastic photos, you are a simply lovely person, who put us at ease and were a complete joy to work with. Wishing you all the best for 2019 and beyond!

Lucy & Dan
Thank you so much for our beautiful photographs - we are so pleased and have enjoyed looking through them over and again. You captured the day perfectly and it's been great to look back through your photos and see all those moments we didn't have a chance to take in at the time. On the day you were calming and we hardly noticed you are there (in a good way!). You made us feel as ease and relaxed which really shows in the photos!
