Buffy Thompson Photography provides portraiture for your family and pets, event photography for your business, commercial and advertising shots and also lots of options for family events including wedding packages to provide the memories for your big day. Unlike many photographers we will supply a USB stick with all the images that we create, so you and your family will be able to make as many prints as you like, carry your images round on your phone - or simply put them on your screensaver! Of course, some people find making the prints and photo books to be a real hassle, so we can do that for you as well if you like.

Thank you for coming to look at my website and whilst I am indeed based in Suffolk and you maybe found me by searching for a Suffolk Photographer or even a Suffolk Wedding Photographer I do travel also to all parts of East Anglia, Essex, Cambridge and Norfolk and occasionally further afield. Suffolk is however a beautiful county for photography of all kinds and I am constantly amazed by the range of stunning places we have at our disposal.
I'm not going to give you a list of my experiences or achievements because I am more concerned that you love my work and trust me to deliver the vision you have of your wedding day, your children, your pet, whatever it may be. If you have got this far then hopefully you already like my style, which is a great start.
This is so exciting! Congratulations on getting engaged and whether you book me or not I wish you a world of happiness. You are both starting on a wonderful journey together and I would love to be given the opportunity to record your first steps so take a look at a selection of some of my recent favourite images and see if you think my style could suit you.
Portraits can be hugely enjoyable, often funny, sometimes quite intimate but always a revelation. You never quite know what you are going to get but it is my great pleasure to get the best out of people I photograph and I hope and believe I can achieve this. Whether it's just you, your newborn baby, your whole family, your dog, cat, horse or hamster I will always spend as much time as I need making sure the subjects are relaxed to the point they almost don't notice me.For this reason I tend to not use a studio and much prefer a natural setting where there are a number of ways of composing a shot and also a number of useful distractions.
I have done a number of jobs for companies and local businesses who have wanted new marketing materials or to update their websites. I also do PR portraits for individuals wanting a 'business' image for their website, LinkedIn etc. If you would be interested in my services for your own business please get in touch, I'd be delighted to hear from you.

Buffy has a real eye for capturing special moments, a true talent that has made reflecting on our wedding day that much more memorable. So easy to deal with in the busy build up period which made a big difference. A real professional who was able to take a snapshot of the essence of the full day, would recommend to anyone getting married in the area.

Buffy is a phenomenal photographer and an even better human being, Sarah and I were honoured and privileged to have Buffy capture our big day - some say photos cant do justice for capturing everything you love and felt about those special moment, but somehow - Buffy managed to. She overdelivered every step of the way and was a wonderful addition to our big day as a person as well as with the photos. We could not recommend more highly!

I recently met Buffy at a photoshoot at Framlingham Castle for English Heritage. It was a chilly and early start but Buffy was great to work from the first minute. We clambered over muddy hills and climbed the walls to get the right location and light. Nothing was too much trouble for Buffy. The photographs of my grandson Jamie and I are stunning and will provide memories for years to come.
I am considering using Buffy for a family photoshoot in the future as she is so easy to work with and my grandson responded to her to so easily. My friend also told me that Buffy had taken the photographs at a wedding that she had attended recently and that the photographs are stunning. I would highly recommend Buffy as your next photographer.

We would thoroughly recommend Buffy Thompson photography! She is such a lovely lady and it was lovely to have her capture our special wedding day at Ramsholt in Suffolk. She worked extremely hard throughout the day darting here, there and everywhere and didn't miss a trick. It was a very hot and sunny July day. We have some amazing photos to cherish forever, both informal, relaxed and then more formal including some very clever ones at the end of the evening under the stars. Thankyou Buffy, we cant wait for you to take pictures when our new baby arrives! Love the Piercys xxx

We couldn't recommend Buffy enough! Buffy had taken our family photos in the past and after seeing her previous wedding portfolio we couldn't wait for her to be our wedding photographer! Communication was amazing throughout! Buffy was so organized in the run up and on the day! Nothing was too much trouble and we barely knew she was there! She caught every special moment of our day and we have a beautiful album to treasure forever!

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.

Not a great fan of having my photo taken as I explained to Buffy when I first called her; I find it all a bit stressful. I couldn’t have been further from the truth. She was so lovely. Made me feel completely at ease. All the pics she took were so natural, not starchy or too staged. Half the time you don’t even know she is there. She takes such natural shots of the family and guests.
Of course there were the group photos where she would tell us where we should be, but there has to be some order when you have lots of people together. I thoroughly enjoyed our wedding day, and was delighted with the photos Buffy took. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone who wanted a visual record of an important occasion. And what’s more, she is a lovely lady who is so easy to talk to. Nothing is too much trouble. Thanks Buffy! Wish I could do it all over again...

Buffy was brilliant from the word 'go'. She was easy to get hold of and always responded quickly. She understood exactly what we wanted from our wedding photos and made us feel so relaxed during our engagement shoot and on the big day itself. I cannot recommend her enough for anyone looking for natural and relaxed photos.

From the first time we met Buffy, we both knew immediately she was the photographer for us. We straight away felt very comfortable with her and knew that on our wedding day we needed to feel that. We met with Buffy for a pre-wedding shoot which was fantastic as it really set the tone for what to expect on our Wedding day. The pictures were fantastic and this just confirmed to us we had made the right decision.
On the day Buffy was a delight to work with, discreet and polite capturing the magic moments of our day. Buffy turned the pictures round so quickly for us to preview which was great and we were blown away by how beautiful they were. Buffy captured the day in exactly the way we wanted with many informal photos and so many people have commented on how incredible they are. We could not have asked for any better pictures of our special day. Both Emma and I would not hesitate to recommend Buffy.

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.
Nadine and Jon
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!

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.

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.
