BUFFY THOMPSON PHOTOGRAPHY
Suffolk Wedding and Portrait Photographer

Buffy was amazing and her work is outstanding. She spent an afternoon with us in slightly dodgy weather and a small cast of young children for my parents 50th wedding anniversary dinner and was able, through some magic power, to get the most wonderful set of formal and candid shots both inside and outside that captured the whole thing wonderfully. We didn’t really have any plan but Buffy came up with all sorts of excellent ideas on the fly and engaged and caught the young, the old and the unphotogenic with such skill! Her professionalism, warmth and abilities were outstanding. We would unreservedly recommend for any event without hesitation.

- Lydia and Matt, Norfolk

 

We just wanted to say thank you so much, we love them all! As does everyone we have shared them with. You are absolutely awesome!  Thank you so much once again! We will definitely be recommending & using you again in the future....Everyone loved you and the photos are fabulous! xx

Buffy was the best wedding photographer anyone could hope for, and we would thoroughly recommend her. From the very first phone conversation she was so professional and clear in her advice and guidance about what to consider and what to expect. She was keen to make sure we were put at ease, with a pre-shoot and a look around the wedding venue all included in the cost. On the day she was fantastically efficient and didn’t stop for one moment, getting tons of really lovely informal shots as well as all the staged ones, including of the room, tables set up and food. She was also just generally helpful and kind, and really contributed to how special the whole day was. Buffy was imaginative and creative in the shots she took of us as a couple, including one using a museum exhibition that was a bit of a joke but has actually become our favourite photo! She didn’t upsell us any other products, and quickly made the photos available for us and all our guests to access. We really couldn’t have asked for any more, and would absolutely recommend her to anyone.

We wanted to thank you for all the hard work you did in capturing our wedding photos. The effort is revealed through the quality of the pictures that we received.  We will be recommending you to everyone we know that needs a high quality photographer! The amount of comments we received for the pictures of us and the fireworks is amazing. You have an eye that is so detailed that it blows us away....

- Helen and Simon, Colchester

​

I just wanted to first of all thank you for what a wonderful part of our big day you were - and that isn't just for the photos but it was a pleasure to have you there.  But on the subject of the photos - they are FANTASTIC! Not only are the posed/composition ones brilliant but I am particularly fond of the way you captured our friends and family as they enjoyed the day, these are literally the best photos I have ever seen of my step-dad and mum, not to mention my grooms men, and well.. everyone actually! Every one seemed to capture the magic of the moment and the essence of the person at the same time - almost like you were using some sort of magical camera that may be bought in Daigon Alley next to the wands and wizardy treats. Simply amazing, you really are the Galadriel of photography and wonderful human being.

- Joe and Sarah, Hertfordshire

​

We are so pleased we chose Buffy to do our wedding photography, the photos were exactly what we wanted. What Buffy produced was better than we could have expected. The photos really do show the day as it was - all the emotions, expressions, laughs and tears. We loved looking through the photos and it really felt as though we were reliving the day. Our guests also commented on how great they thought Buffy was on the day. We also chose a package which included the pre-wedding shoot - if you are a bit nervous we would highly recommend this too. It certainly made us feel more comfortable on day, partly as this meant we’d had the chance to spend some time with Buffy beforehand & the wedding day wasn’t the first time we’d met. Wonderful photos & a wonderful lady who would would highly recommend.

- Emily and Will, London

 

We’ve just sat down and looked at the photos.. they are ALL absolutely stunning! We love them all, you’ve done an amazing job.. We will share the gallery with everyone and I’m sure everybody else will feel the same way........Many thanks and I can’t tell you how much we love the photos.. 

- Liz and Des, Norfolk

​

Thank you so much for the wonderful wedding photos! They are brilliant and I can't begin to tell you how much we love them. You have absolutely captured the moment in each and every one.....

- Linda and Rob, Ipswich

​

Wow, wow, wow.  We love the photos.  They made us cry and laugh.  You really managed to catch how the day felt and went.  The photos are truly superb and we couldn’t be happier.  I even managed to look normal  and relaxed in the majority of the photos!  Regarding the album….. Please also advise us about how many photos you think should go into it.  Given how many photos we love it’s going to be a tough choice!

- Sinead and Emma, Surrey

​

These photos are utterly marvellous!  ......A huge thank you from both of us! It really has enhanced a fabulous event as you forget so much when the adrenaline (and champagne) is flowing.  Really lovely working with you and hope to see you again soon!

- Jess and Rob, Hoo

​

I can’t begin to tell you how much we love your photos. They are simply magnificent.  Looking at them has made me realise what a very special day it was and I am so very glad that you could be part of it.  I will be in touch about albums.  Lots of love and so many thanks.

- Louise and Eamonn, Harkstead 

​

We would sincerely like to recommend Buffy Thompson to anyone looking for a professional photographer for their special occasion/event.   She was a pleasure to work with from start to finish, offering us her professional guidance and also taking the time carefully to listen to how we wanted our intimate wedding to be portrayed.  She quietly and creatively produced beautiful photography on the day, which has allowed us and our family and friends to re-live the special occasion again and again.   We couldn’t be more pleased or grateful.   Thank you, Buffy.

- Bridget and David, Aldeburgh

 

Thank you so, so, so much! We are in love with all of the photos ☺️....we have had so many compliments on them and how you were on the day. We can’t say thank you enough! Emily xxx

- Emily and Mike, Swanley

​

We are over the moon with the photos you sent us, honestly I am so happy with them and everyone has said the same.  They are so natural, just what we wanted.  It will be so hard to choose which ones to display.  I will not hesitate to recommend you to friends or family or anyone who needs a photographer and as we have another two Weddings likely to be happening in the near future I am sure you will be top choice.  I just want to say how relaxed you made me feel, having my photo taken is not something I particularly enjoy as I told you, but you were so easy going I felt completely at ease.  My daughter called me to say she absolutely loved all the photos, especially the ones of the children running and laughing, all I can say is thank you so so much for giving us such wonderful memories of our special day we feel very lucky indeed.  Love Annie x

- Annie and Chris, Diss

​

Thank you so, so, soooooo much for the photos....they are amazing. There is not a single photo we do not like!! You really are an amazing photographer and you captured our day for us beautifully. We are so grateful......  Again, thank you so much. We are just buzzing at the photos. It's like getting to relive the day all over again and all the family and friends are ecstatic with the photos too. I don't think my Mum has ever accepted a photo of herself before you!! Lots of love.

- Miranda and Alex, Boulge

​

I can’t recommend Buffy enough – she is fantastic and her photos speak for themselves. She has twice taken family photos for us in Southwold and we’ve been beyond thrilled with the results on both occasions – she really captures the moment and is absolutely brilliant with children (ours were 0 and 2 for the first shoot and 2 and 4 on the second shoot). The photos are just perfect, exactly what we were looking for – and am looking forward to Buffy taking more family photos for us in the coming years.

 - Dyball Family, London

​

Oh my goodness thank you so much for the photos.  I am at a loss for words, you have captured everyone in the most beautiful way.  You have sent photos which I never dreamed of.  Thank you, thank you sooo much.  I am absolutely over the moon.

- Ali and Chris, Metfield

​

Buffy was amazing right from the minute we booked. We are both nervous in front of the camera but she reassured us during our pre-wedding photoshoot and made us feel so comfortable that we were pros by the time it came to the wedding! Buffy was more than our amazing photographer, she also made sure the bridal party stuck to their getting ready times, and wiped away the brides tears after the ceremony - we will definitely be staying in contact! The photos are amazing, and captured every special moment of the day.  We couldn't have asked for anything else! Mr and Mrs Owens x

- Nadine and Jon, Birmingham

 

Photography is one of the most important parts of a wedding day. The photos will be your forever mementos of one of the best days of your life which is why it is crucial to pick the right photographer. We highly recommend Buffy, right from the start she was professional, friendly and flexible to suit what we wanted and put us at ease. On the day she got the shots we wanted without ever being bossy and most of the time we didn’t know she was there. She worked with the weather conditions so rather than having a sparkler shot because it was raining she adapted and we have a very clever shot using a lit backdrop showing up the rain like stars and our silhouettes. We were also very happy with mix of styles between posed and relaxed. The speed we got our lovely shots back was also brilliant because you are so excited to see them! 

- Rebecca and Ben, London

​

If you're thinking of choosing Buffy for your wedding day or occasion, do it! Not only did we get the most beautiful shots of us, our friends and family but we had our pre-shoot which made us comfortable and confident. These are photos we'll treasure forever and Buffy made it so easy. The photos we've got are relaxed, happy and I don't think there's a single photo of anyone looking anything other than happy - a perfect photographer knows how to capture happiness and if you want your special day or occasion captured by a true professional who doesn't intrude or request crazy things, then you're in luck with Buffy. We're so so glad we found you because we're so happy with our photos of our day. Every intricate detail captured that we wouldn't of even noticed without Buffy.

- Lisa and Daniel, Northampton

​

Wow what an awesome evening.... We have loved, loved, loved all the photos & both cried with the memories of our first look & ceremony & can’t wait to show them to Mum & Dad. Love, Kate & Stu.xx

- Kate and Stuart, Ipswich

 

Our photos are beautiful! We can't wait to share them with our family and friends. We are so pleased that we choose you to be a photographer for our special day and are amazed by what you captured. Thank you very much. We will highly recommend you to anyone that requires a professional photographer.

- Faye and Kai, Glemham

​

We love all of the photos, they are so clear and sharp and our friends have all said that you are very professional and not at all intrusive when you were taking the shots.  We will recommend you to other friends, thank you so much.

- Susan and Derek, Colchester

​

We are so thrilled with the shots. They have captured our day perfectly.  We can't thank you enough for how relaxed you made us feel and the fantastic photos. 

- Mandy and Steve, Wantisden

​

Thank you so much for the photographs.  We've been really looking forward to seeing them and they didn't disappoint, they're brilliant! We are now looking forward to getting some photos printed and putting them up around the house but it's going to be tricky to narrow down which ones to use from the great selection.

- Steph and Ryan, Norfolk

​

We have looked through the gallery and we are over the moon with the pictures. You have done an amazing job in capturing all the special moments we can look at over and over again. You were worth every penny 😘😘 .  Thank you so much for all your hard work...you have been truly amazing.

- Courtney and Duncan, Rendlesham

We knew from the first time we looked at Buffy's work on her website to the first time we meet her, that we had made the right decision to have her as our photographer on our special day. Every wedding day is special, but for us, this was our 2nd time around and we needed it to be about our family. Buffy has encapsulated everything we could have ever wished for with her amazing talent. We are absolutely thrilled with all of the photographs she has taken and we especially like how Buffy has captured the events of the day in a quirky a natural way. We were given all of our photographs on a memory stick, but felt we would like some old school style photographs in an album, it was so difficult to choose just a few as we loved them all. Buffy has made an excellent job of designing a 'coffee table' album for us which is amazing and something  we will treasure always and which enables us to share at a glance with our family and friends. Thank you so much Buffy for all the wonderful memories you have so brilliantly given to us within a magical set of photographs.  Lots of happily married love from Daphne & Roy. xxxx

- Daphne and Roy, Ipswich

​

The images are simply stunning and I love the vibrancy of the colours you used.....We're all really happy with the shots and there are so many beautiful images it's going to be difficult to choose a few to print!  

- Gini, Tunbridge Wells

​

The photos are wonderful! We absolutely love them!  Can't wait to receive the USB.

We are so pleased we choose you to be our photographer, we will definitely be hiring you again one day, and will recommend you to all my family and friends who are looking for a photographer! Thank you so much Buffy :)

- Jamie and Nathan, Cambridge

We received your email when we were on honeymoon and spent hours looking through the photos. We are absolutely over the moon with them, they are stunning and exceeded all expectations. It was so lovely to piece the day back together when looking through them and there were moments I had completely forgotten (like the silly march with my Dad on our way to the ceremony). The natural shots you captured are beautiful (and my favourites) and the portraits of each person are a really lovely touch. I love the shots of the ceremony room, as I didn’t even see how it looked on the day, when we were in there I only saw Ben and our families.  Thank you for turning this all around so quickly, it was so lovely to have these to look at on holiday and everyone I have spoken to has been singing your praises.

- Samantha and Ben, London

​

Kim and I have just looked through the album and we can't thank you enough, it is absolutely brilliant!!  We are so happy you shared our special day and how you captured so many special moments.  You have excelled our expectations and we couldn't be happier....

- Kim and Luke, Grundisburgh

 

The pictures are amazing, we are so happy with them! You caught everyone so well…including Bonnie!  You were absolutely amazing, my mum can't compliment you enough. And all of us really, you were exactly the type of person we wanted on the day and were so relaxed. I can’t thank you enough…you have made some fantastic memories for us! 

- Amy and Jon, Westleton

​

Before our wedding day we contacted many different wedding photographers. As we were just having pictures, no video, we knew how important it was for us in choosing the right person to do this.  Out of the many people we contacted Buffy stood out.  Both her and her website were very professional and speaking to her she was caring at the same time about what we wanted.  When we met her for the first time she put us at ease and understood exactly the feel we were going for.  Buffy was truly amazing on the lead up to our day answering any questions we had promptly and on the day she was everywhere - but at the same time she never took over or made it feel too overwhelming.  Buffy worked so hard the whole day and this can be seen by her work and comments from my guests.  We both agree that without Buffy our day would have not been as special and we are truly grateful for this. Thank you Buffy for your great work and knowledge you are truly talented and a lovely person!

- Sam and Hakan, London

​

Buffy made sure we had an such an amazing time taking pictures for our son's first birthday.  She made us all relax with her friendly approach and we now have a wonderful collection of pictures that will be cherished forever.

- Lily and Okung, Ipswich

​

Living in Dubai and trying to organize a wedding in Woodbridge turned out to be a lot easier than we thought, and part of that was down to Buffy. My wife left the decision of choosing the photographer up to me, so the pressure was on knowing how important the wedding pictures are.  As soon as we met we felt at ease and knew we had made the right choice. Buffy was really easy to work with, happy to take the shots we wanted and also gave great direction to get that perfect picture. So thank you for sharing our day and being a part of the lasting memories that were created. We will hopefully have the chance to work with you again in the future.

- Darryl & Nooshin, Dubai.

 

Thank you so much, the photos are all just perfect. You have captured so many beautiful memories from our special day for us to cherish.  We will always highly recommend your services to anyone who requires a professional photographer.                         

- Julie and Mark, Rushmere St Andrew

 

For our wedding we got in touch with Buffy and what can I say, it was one of the best decisions we made and I'm so glad we did. From the very beginning Buffy really listened to what we had in mind and took her time to get to know us as a couple. She came up with some amazing ideas but was careful to run them all past us first.  On the day itself, she couldn't have been better. She instantly put us at ease, directing us and our family very subtly to get the best possible photographs. Again, she listened to our ideas and shared her own - the result was some incredibly special photos which we will keep coming back to again and again for the rest of our lives. We can't wait to show them to our friends and family! I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Buffy to anyone with a special occasion coming up - she was brilliant!

- Fiona and Andy, Felixstowe

 

We enjoyed our morning with you and felt relaxed.  We suggested our ideas but were very pleased you came with a fresh eye and used our familiar locations in exciting ways.  You didn't clock watch but spent time to get a wide range of moods and family groupings.  We didn't feel overly posed but were helped to get the best results - not easy for people of all ages and concentration levels!  The results capture the varied personalities, and I particularly loved the mix of monochrome and colour in the same shot.  I will be happy to recommend you to family, friends and neighbours.

- T Fitzgerald, Methersgate

 

We chose Buffy on recommendation from a friend and she has been fantastic.  We completed some practice pictures at our wedding venue a couple of months beforehand and she made us feel totally at ease and relaxed.  On our wedding day we asked her to ensure that she took lots of natural shots of all the guests and she remained totally in the background producing some fantastic shots and brilliant memories! I would absolutely use her again and thoroughly recommend her.  Thank you Buffy!

- H Phipps, Harwich

 

The photographs superbly captured the feeling of our celebrations using a mixture of coloured, black and white, casual and formal images. The result has proved to be more than I expected and is really 'the icing on the cake' of a very special weekend.  We now have something which we will never tire of returning to again and again to bring back treasured memories long into the future.  Thank you Buffy, I could not have asked for more.

- M Argent, Sutton

 

Thanks to Buffy we have a wonderful collection of photos to celebrate a special family birthday. Her relaxed approach and good humour was much needed when photographing such a large group of adults and children on a cold, December day by the sea! It was not easy to organise us all, but she did a brilliant job and we all came away with some great pictures to remember the occasion. Thank you!!!

- A Janes, Aldeburgh

​

... Just wanted to say again how fantastic the photos are, We feel so lucky to have had you as our photographer.
