Their weddings, in their words.
Choosing your wedding photographer is about so much more than loving their photographs. You're inviting someone into one of the most important days of your life, so feeling comfortable with them matters too.
I'm incredibly lucky to photograph weddings across Suffolk, Norfolk and beyond — and even luckier that so many of my couples have taken the time to share what the experience felt like.
From the moment we met Holly on Zoom, she was so friendly, warm and reassuring, and having her there on the day was a genuine pleasure.
Holly is incredibly confident and organised, and somehow managed to keep us on track throughout the day without it ever feeling stressful or like we were being pulled away.
She captured all the big moments and all the little ones, and they really are magical snapshots in time. So many things that we didn't even realise had happened were captured — looking through the photos brings back all the amazing feelings of the day.

“She was an absolute joy to have with us and we couldn't be happier with our photos.”
The more you forget about the camera, the more your photographs feel like you.
What it feels like to have me there
You can probably learn more about what it's like to have me photograph your wedding from my couples than you ever could from me. From feeling comfortable in front of the camera to keeping everything running smoothly on the day, these are their experiences in their own words.
We honestly cannot recommend Holly enough. She photographed our daughter's christening and, after seeing her incredible work, there was never any doubt that we wanted her to capture our wedding day too.
From the moment she arrived, she made us feel completely at ease. Neither of us are particularly comfortable in front of the camera, but Holly has such a calm and friendly way about her that everything felt so natural and relaxed.
Holly has an amazing eye for capturing the moments you don't even realise are happening. The candid photos are some of our absolute favourites, and she documented every emotion and special moment so beautifully. The quality of her work is exceptional, and every single image is something we'll treasure forever.
Thank you, Holly, for giving us the most beautiful memories of two of the biggest days in our lives. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone and will definitely be asking you to capture any future special occasions too.

Holly, I don’t even know where to start. From meeting you at a friends wedding you were photographing, I just knew it had to be you. Friendly, bubbly, professional. And even more importantly, our boys (aged 5) felt so comfortable around you and in turn meant you captured such gorgeous photos of them too. Although we knew you were there, you were so discreet with your work and just captured every moment so perfectly.
With the challenges of the light on the day (definitely not complaining about the blazing sun and heatwave, lol) you knew the best places to capture the best photos.
We are so grateful for everything you did on the day. You were more than just a photographer - but a friend too!
Lots of love

Holly photographed mine and Steven’s wedding and we honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. She was absolutely incredible from start to finish — she captured every little detail of the day so perfectly, including so many special moments we would have otherwise missed.
We are beyond impressed with how all of the photos turned out, every single one feels so natural, beautiful and full of emotion. Looking through them takes us right back to the day all over again.
Not only is Holly amazingly talented, but she also felt more like a friend than just our photographer. She made everyone feel so comfortable and relaxed, and she was such a lovely presence throughout the whole wedding.
We couldn’t recommend Holly Hambling Photography more highly — thank you so much for giving us memories we’ll treasure forever 🤍

Holly was incredible from the start. We had a few zoom calls, which were so helpful and made us feel a lot more at ease about the day!
Holly’s style of photography is just beautiful, but she also did such an amazing job of capturing the sentimental and unexpected funny moments that we will be able to look back at forever!
Holly made everyone feel so comfortable, she’s very professional but generally just a lovely person. I don’t know if it’s normal to have so many compliments about the photographer at a wedding, but we did, everyone loved Holly!
We feel so lucky to have had Holly as our photographer, wish we could do it all again!

Holly made everyone feel so comfortable, she’s very professional but generally just a lovely person.
Where do we even start with Holly?
From the moment we had our online call, we knew that she was the one for us, and we were not wrong!
From holding out 2 dates for us whilst our first venue fell through, helping us find our beautiful venue, lengthening our pre wedding shoot so we could have some gorgeous photos with our little boy🐾, taking on the stresses of the morning and capturing our wedding day in the most beautiful way - Holly did it all!
Her personality is so radiant, you can’t help but feel your best and shine like she does when you’re around her! She truly feels like a friend rather than a ‘wedding supplier’, and that is exactly what you need on your day!
We’ve just received our photo book through, and without a shadow of a doubt Holly is the best person we could have chosen and invested into. These photos are the most precious way to capture moments from our wedding, and she’s done it in the most beautiful way.
I would recommend Holly without any hesitations, and hope to have her capture more as our milestones continue!
Thank you from the whole of our hearts
