Black & White Wedding Photography...
As a Norwich wedding photographers, we’re often asked if black and white photos still have a place in modern weddings. The answer? Absolutely. Monochrome photography strips away distraction, letting emotion, light, and connection take centre stage. In this post, we’ll share why we include black & white images in every wedding gallery — and show you how they elevate real moments from weddings across Norfolk and Norwich.
Why Choose Black & White for Your Wedding Photos
Black and white photography creates a timeless feel that never goes out of style. It draws your eye to emotion, detail, and contrast — not colour. Whether it’s tears during the vows or an embrace during the first dance, monochrome adds weight and elegance to those fleeting moments.
When Monochrome Works Best on a Wedding Day
We usually use black and white photography during moments of intimacy, emotion, or low light where mood is more important than vibrant colour. Some of our favourite monochrome shots come from speeches, first dances, and quiet moments between the couple.
Monochrome Wedding Photos in Norwich & Norfolk Venues
From city weddings in Norwich to countryside ceremonies in Norfolk, we’ve used black and white photography to enhance real wedding stories. Certain venues offer the perfect setting for this timeless style.
For example, the dramatic windows of Norwich Cathedral create deep shadows and light play ideal for black and white. At rustic barns like Southwood Hall, candid moments during speeches or dances take on a film-like quality when colour is removed.
Do We Include Colour Versions Too?
Absolutely. Every wedding we deliver includes a carefully curated mix of colour and black & white images. We don’t duplicate every image in both formats — instead, we choose black & white for the moments that truly suit it. That way, your gallery feels balanced, emotional, and full of story.
