Timeless, Elegant Wedding Photography
Documentary Editorial Style | Based in Crowborough, East Sussex | Covering Kent, Sussex & Surrey.
Welcome. I’m a documentary-style wedding photographer with an editorial eye, based in Crowborough, East Sussex, capturing refined, emotive wedding stories across Kent, Sussex, and Surrey. My work is defined by timeless elegance, natural light, and an unobtrusive approach that allows you to be fully present on your wedding day.
Specialising in luxurious countryside estates, historic manor houses, and beautifully styled celebrations, I blend candid storytelling with artistic composition to deliver a collection of images that are as emotionally rich as they are visually stunning.
From the quiet anticipation of the morning to the warmth of golden hour and the romance of the evening, I document your day with care and intention – creating heirloom-quality photographs that reflect the true essence of your celebration.
"Madeleine is friendly and professional, making you feel completely and at ease with the process. As someone that is not comfortable in front of the camera, she made the formal photos for our wedding effortless and natural. The results were perfect!" - Lucy & Alistair
About Me
Hello, I'm Madeleine Norman, a female wedding and portrait photographer with over 18 years of experience, specialising in editorial and documentary-style photography.
Based in the South East of England, I capture authentic, story-driven wedding photography across Sussex, Kent, Surrey, and internationally. My style is relaxed and unobtrusive—focused on candid moments, genuine emotions, and the quiet beauty of real connection.
As a documentary wedding photographer, I believe the most powerful images come from real moments. I work discreetly, allowing your day to unfold naturally, so you can stay present while I capture the magic.
Over the years, I’ve photographed hundreds of weddings at some of the most beautiful venues in the UK and beyond. Some of my favourite local venues include:
-
Hendall Manor Barns in Uckfield – a hidden gem with rustic charm and stunning countryside views
-
Buxted Park Hotel – a grand and elegant venue perfect for timeless celebrations
-
Salomons Estate in Tunbridge Wells – a historic estate with beautiful grounds and character
Whether it's a countryside wedding in Sussex, a luxury celebration in Kent, or a destination wedding in Italy, I bring the same calm energy, artistic eye, and dedication to every couple I work with.
I also offer natural light portrait sessions for couples, families, and individuals—ideal for engagements, anniversaries, or simply capturing life as it is right now.
