Modern Yet Traditional Wedding Photography
Covering Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire, Essex, London & Beyond
Do you love modern photography styles but still wish for those traditional shots that you've seen in your parents albums? Do you love the creative shots but still want to include the traditional moments that our families love to see? The key to capturing a modern wedding album is knowing when you should step in to capture creative or traditional moments, but arguably it is of more importance to know when to step back to allow the wedding to unfold naturally whilst capturing genuine candid moments that reflect true memories from the day to allow each wedding album to reflect who each couple are as individuals.
Each wedding album that I produce includes a mix of traditional images and formal shots delivered to your door with 6x4 prints, a wooden engraved USB, a hand designed hardcover photobook and larger frame prints which are perfect for gifting to the family.
Documentary style internationally published and multi award winning wedding photographer mixing genuine candid memories, real natural moments and the more formal traditional images that we grew up cherishing in our parents wedding albums. These photography styles are mixed with my unique creative flair and penchant for editorial style images to create a modern wedding album that stands up to the test of time, yet is still a hit with the more traditional members of our families. Book an experienced professional who has been mixing tradition with modern styles since 2015 to create completely unique wedding albums that show each couples unique style, personality and charm with no repetitions of other people's weddings, no set routines and no set poses rehashed from someone elses day!

"Sarah is my new addiction!"
"Photoshoots are my hobby and Sarah is my favourite photographer, EVER! Sarah has become my new addiction!
Her photos are so amazing, I always love them so much and I must have had at least 5 sessions this year alone! We always have so much fun and the pictures are always so much better than I imagine on the day as we're taking them. I love the way she works and helps with posing and styles, when I am nervous about a shot or pose she shows me the photograph on her camera screen so I can see in real time what we are capturing which lets us keep re-taking the shots until I love my poses and how I look.
Sarah always finds time for me no matter how busy she is. and she works so hard to get the photographs that I want. I've had her in bushes, thorns, buried shoulder deep in fields and wet up to her calves on location shoots, she's so good about getting wet or dirty to get the best shots. She really does go above and beyond to capture the creative angles for me. Her editing is beautiful and the images are always stunning. Thank you, my favourite photographer, ever! I love you so much, sweetie!!"
-Edyta, Ipswich. Taken from the review of our 5th Norfolk photoshoot session
OUTDOOR SESSIONS
”Before booking our wedding photographer, I spent days searching around online around Norfolk, I contacted over five people but as soon as I spoke to Sarah, I knew that no one else was going to beat her. After talking, I knew that I couldn't book anyone else for our wedding. It had to be her, and I had to do whatever possible to ensure our date worked with her diary. She's incredibly personable, so knowledgeable, funny and she instantly made me feel like I was hiring a friend to capture my special day. The wedding photos are so beautiful that I sobbed when I got the album. They're so much better than I'd ever imagined. I'm so grateful that I found Sarah. Since my wedding, I've been back to Sarah three times for sessions. I wouldn't dream of letting anyone else take my picture now...”
Charlotte, Yell Review
”Well where to start... I contacted Sarah after seeing some of her work on Facebook, I loved the photos she produced so thought I'd drop her a message. after talking to her for a few minutes I knew she was who I wanted to capture our big day. As the months drew nearer Sarah was on hand to calm my nerves and we talked through thoroughly about our likes and dislikes so she could adapt to whatever we wanted. Our plans changed a few times but Sarah was happy to go change plans and what we wanted from our day, whatever made us happy made her happy, unlike other photographers who told me I couldn't do this or that!
The day came and I met Sarah as I was getting ready, it was like I'd known her for ages. I was instantly comfortable around her, and for someone who hates having their picture taken was a big thing! Throughout the day Sarah was fantastic, she captured the most beautiful of pictures and went above and beyond to make sure that we were happy with everything. The time came when we said our goodbyes to Sarah but that wasn't the last time I would speak to her. After the wedding, she checked in with regular updates of how the pictures were coming along and then came the sneak peaks...They were amazing! We received our final wedding album and couldn't be happier with the pictures that Sarah had taken, there was even some of myself that she had taken that took my breath away. To this day I am still in contact with Sarah. She is an absolute diamond that deserves recognition for the hard work and the kind caring way she treats her clients. I can't recommend this lady highly enough...I mean just look at her pictures!!!”
Stevie, Facebook Review
”We got married at Sprowston Manor Hotel and our faces ached after our wedding, but for the right reasons. They ached not because of cheesy fake smiles, but because of genuine raucous laughter! We had so much fun that we barely stopped laughing for the whole day!
Our album is amazing, she got all the good angles and creative shots that we'd have never thought of! The pictures are beautiful and so are the prints and album. The photo book already sits on our coffee table in pride of place!
I really couldn't recommend her enough, she didn't just come and do our wedding, she made the day!”
Ella, Yell Review
"I decided to use Sarah after speaking to a number of potential photographers. I was looking for someone to capture a family photoshoot with a twist - I wanted a surprise marriage proposal disguised as a photo shoot and Sarah stood out from our initial conversation as the most enthusiastic and forthcoming with ideas and suggestions. She made my decision easy when it came to choosing who to use, and I wasn't disappointed.
On the day she was equally as enthusiastic, and got involved with our three young children too. It's not easy getting a 1, 2 and 3 year old to have their photo taken at the same time as two adults, but she was patient and managed to get some great shots. We were really happy with how the photos turned out too. I'm no photography expert, but to me, they weren't over-edited and it was a nice touch not to have her branding in the corner of the photos we were sent.
Would I use Sarah again? 100% yes."
Joe, Google Review
”My fiancé and I had Sarah do our engagement photos and we have been blown away by the exceptional quality of the sneak peak photos we've seen so far! She was also very flexible and understanding when we had car trouble on the way to our initial photo shoot. If we were getting married in the UK we would absolutely have her do our wedding photos!”
Janine, Facebook Review
"As a family of 4 we’ve never had a photo shoot before and didn’t know what to expect! Sarah couldn’t have made us feel more comfortable or at ease if she tried. She is so friendly, easy to be around and lovely. Our photos are absolutely beautiful! Couldn’t have asked for anything better and we will definitely be booking more family photo shoots in the future!"
Jodie, Facebook & Google Review
"Wow what can I say Sarah took a photo shoot of our family for my wife's 40th birthday. She suggested a great woodland setting for our family photo shoot in Norwich. Her communication before and after was fantastic. She met us on time took the time to take a mixture of fun and formal shots for the whole family. She was great with our kids and she very quickly put us all at ease which is great from your photographer! The photos came through quickly within a week in a digital format too really useful. Would highly recommend her to anyone. Thanks Sarah!"
Stephen, Google Review
"We had a fantastic family photo shoot on the beach with Sarah. She was highly professional and made myself, my wife and 3 young daughters feel at ease instantly.
She has a natural talent and picked and took shoots exactly how we wanted them ie not posed.
We would definitely recommend her services and will be using her again. She also kindly re sent all the digital photos, when they disappeared off our hard Drive."
Abul, Facebook Review
"We booked Sarah last minute, around 8 weeks before our wedding, luckily she was free! We only had Sarah for a couple of hours but we certainly got our money’s worth! She kept in contact in the weeks leading up to our wedding, asking us what styles etc as we wanted natural shots, with minimal posed shots, and she didn’t disappoint! On the day, she made us feel at ease, and we didn’t feel awkward at all during the intimate shoot. Initially my husband who is a bit of a Scrooge, wasn’t convinced about having a photographer whence the late booking and no engagement shoot, however, during the shoot he told me he was happy we decided to go for it! During the weeks after our wedding, again she kept in contact and updated us on the album. We now have our album and are extremely happy with all the photos! We cannot recommend Sarah enough, she is a truly talented photographer!"
Sophie, Facebook Review
"What a total star ! Sarah stood in at the very last minute as my original wedding photographer was unable to make it due to unforeseen circumstances. We had never even met before as it was so last minute, but as soon as she introduced herself, she came across as warm, friendly and totally professional. We only met ten minutes before the wedding as that was all the notice we could give her after our original photographer cancelled!
She has created so many wonderful photos of the day, some in black and white, some in colour, with different styles. An awesome and talented lady!!! Not only did she save the day but she made the wedding day too! We are over the moon with her work. Many, many thanks to you Sarah!
We don't know what we'd have done without you!"

MY STORY
Est. 2015
"In my mind, I visualize how a particular sight and feeling will appear on an image, and in print. It is an intuitive sense, an ability that comes from a lot of practice and a creative eye."
I'm a third generation, critically acclaimed, internationally published and award-winning full time professional family and wedding photographer with over 15 years of experience with a camera! I’ve now been published over 45 times and I’m still counting!
Photography was always a lifelong dream for me, I always dreamt of the day when I could afford to buy my first camera and I couldn’t wait to get my first job! I didn’t end up getting one for a couple of years after I started working, but when I did, I fell in love, hard.
My great grandad worked in the RAF and had one of the first studios there – he was a revolutionary photographer and he used pioneering technology otherwise unavailable to the general public at the time, giving him amazing high quality photographs for the era of technology. He is inspirational and I’m so grateful to have his creativity with me in the family! He can talk about cameras and studios for hours – he’s an expert in lighting, backgrounds, film, dark rooms and so much more – I could honestly listen to him all day!
My father always had a camera and was one of the first people to get their hands on a camera phone as he was the manager of a tech store in the 90’s. He was always tinkering with computers, laptops, mobile phones, cameras and everything in between, even teaching me how to tackle printers – he was a tech genius and he loved to take photos. Sadly, I lost my dad when I was younger, but I still have huge folders full of the photographs that he took with his “top of the range” cameras.
He had such a brilliant artistic eye and he was such a natural for photography, even though he didn’t have the right gear to achieve the looks he wanted, he still managed to get them. I sadly can’t credit my father with teaching me photography as he passed away long before I started learning how to seriously use cameras, but I can credit him for making me aware that it existed and for always having cameras laying around the house when I was too young to care!
He definitely made sure that photography was within my orbit during my childhood and for that, I will be forever grateful to him as I may not be where I am today without that extra influence from him when I was younger.
Photography was a huge passion and it was a focus for me at a time when I felt like I had none, as young girls tend to, I threw all of my energy into learning photography and working out how to manipulate the images through the camera to get what I wanted to see on my PC screen when I got home. After years of trial and error, I finally felt ready to get a professional-grade DSLR.
I quit my job and went full time as a professional photographer in 2015 and Sarah Brooksby Photography was born offering luxury and bespoke wedding photography to Norwich, Norfolk & Suffolk. Before long, I had a huge demand for family and pet portraits and I started to offer photo shoots as well as wedding photography.
It is really nice that I'm still photographing pets and horses as my photography journey started with pet photography! I rode horses as a young girl and I loved them to death! I’ve owned dogs for my entire adult life, so for me, no matter if its dog or equestrian photography – they both make my heart sing – I love animals so much and I’m so grateful that I get to work with animals in my job!
I'm fully qualified with a degree in photography and a more niche second degree in creative photo editing. I then went on to diversify even more with another specialist diploma in Wedding Photography, giving me the perfect mix of professional and personal skills to back up my passion with up-to-date technical knowledge and the know-how to achieve those specialist photography edits that I longed to produce.
To say that I'm passionate about what I do doesn't quite cover it - I live, eat sleep and breathe imagery! I studied art and design at school and I've always had a creative mind so this comes very naturally to me. I'm a third-generation photographer so I grew up surrounded by cameras watching my father edit photos. His uncle was a professional photographer in the RAF way back when!
I enjoy photography more than anything else in the world. I barely stop working even on my days off, I just love it so much! To say that your job is your hobby is not a comment you hear often, but I love my work that much that it doesn't feel like work!
I spend most of my work time as a Norfolk wedding photographer, but when I'm not shooting my clients special days, I'm shooting newborns, pets, equestrian, studio, portraits and so much more! When the wedding season is over, you can usually find me around the forests of Norfolk and Suffolk busy with family or pet photography!
Aside from taking photos, you can find me sitting in the sunshine somewhere, usually by a lake with my partner, laptop on my knee editing photos! I love the outdoors, animals, horses and I've kept dogs for most of my life. I love to feel the sunshine on my skin and the wind in my hair!
Always fully inclusive photography package prices.
Luxury photography service without the bespoke price tag.
Always get more photographs than you pay for!

FEATURED NORFOLK PROPOSAL & ENGAGEMENT SHOOT
"SHE SAID YES!"
I was lucky enough to be asked by Joe to help plan and execute a surprise proposal disguised as an innocent family photo shoot - She said yes!! There were tears all round and the kids were over the moon!
This was one of the most fun proposal or engagement photo shoots that I've had the pleasure of shooting in my career. It could not have gone better and I was delighted to have been a part of this couples engagement story! Joe & I spent several evenings when it was quiet chatting and planning the surprise and to give credit where it's due, Joe managed to keep it a secret! It was such a mission to get this all arranged and to get the shoot past her, but he pulled out all the stops we pulled it off! She didn't suspect a thing!
We used a series of pre practiced winks and nods to communicate with one other and when the moment was just right, he went for it! You have to plan and communicate well before a proposal to ensure that it goes smoothly, so of course, Joe and I already had a system to tell each other when we were ready to go, when we liked a location and when to pop the question - the big moment!!
Just like that, an unassuming innocent family forest photo shoot turned into a beautiful secret proposal with barely a dry eye left in the forest! Planning and executing proposal photo shoots can be difficult and it often has to be done late at night to avoid suspciions from the parrner - it's one of my favourite types of photography to shoot as proposals have so much emotion and creativity within them!
A round of applause is well deserved - Husband of the year material here!
