Last update: December 2023

Hi and Welcome to Norbert Campbell Photography. I am Norbert and I am ably assisted by my wife Ingrid. She loves art and looks after Instagram for me.

I was born in Jamaica and lived in a district known as St Elizabeth. It was totally rural, no electricity and no modern conveniences. As a lad I would see light beams shining through knots in the wooden shingles and I would cup my hands together to try and trap the light in my hands. But when I peeked into my hands there was nothing there. Where has it gone? I had no idea. I would put a piece of paper in my palm and catch bees to make honey for me. I was stung many times. I would put them in a jar, and although I could smell honey, I never got any and couldn’t understand why.

I would notice beautiful colours coming out of the bright orange soil, red & white flowers, purple vines that formed Yam and I would wonder “How can you get all these different colours from the soil?” I had no idea!

Having arrived in England aged 8, I discovered Science, what an eye opener. Yes, there were answers to questions about the bees, about sunlight and about colours. Needless to say, I came to love science and I love light and I love colours and I love bees. Photography combines light, and colours. Don’t know where the bees fit in, but I love vibrant colours!

Colours matter to me, if it matters to you then I might well be the photographer you are looking for.

Our whole aim is to look after you for the day and ease any stresses that may come along. I try to capture the events that you will quite likely have missed, so that you can relive your wedding day over and over again.

Services offered

60% of the day usually consists of documentary style photography. This will help you catchup with moments that as a couple you would have missed on the day. I especially aim to capture emotions and activities. 40% of the day involves the family and friends portraits, couples's portraits, rings, cakes and details as well as first dance. We use high-quality lighting equipment to ensure your photos are bright and beautiful especially when it rains. I particularly enjoy having 30 minutes or so at the end of the day when it is getting dark to do some creative shots normally reserved for the stars and celebs of this world. give us a call and see if we are the right fit.

Exceeded our expectations

We are so grateful for the absolutely stunning photos taken of our wedding day.
Norbert has given us memories we will treasure forever, not just photos.
His use of colour and ability to capture emotion in the faces of his subjects is simply incredible. Norbert is an artist and we are just blown away.
From the first phone call with Ingrid, to the thoughtful card left for us at the end of our special day, they have both been a pleasure to work with.

Amazing from start to finish!

I had contacted Norbert after seeing him on hitched and loved the photos he produced. From the very beginning dealing Ingrid and norbet has been amazing. On the day they were amazing. The photos that were produced were better than I could have imagined! They were professional right till the end and ever so kind. I can’t thank them both enough.

Thank you for capturing our special moments and more ❤️

Looking back at the pictures brings back so many lovely memories. Thank you for capturing our special moments and more. ❤️

Would absolutely recommend Norbert Campbell Photography. The reason we decided to go with them was because their pictures looked more natural.

I really appreciate the time and effort they have put it to create our stunning photos. The attention to detail, such as colours and lighting, was fantastic. We could see Norry and his wife Ingrid really cared about every shot taken to ensure it was right. They really make you feel at ease and comfortable too.

We have all the photos we desired and more!

Brilliant!

The quality and quantity of the photos was excellent. The photos were very beautiful and wonderfully edited with a wide-variety of styles. We had quick access to the photos and it was very easy for us and our guests to access the photos.

Norbert and Ingrid were very good at organising people for group photos and got along with everyone very well. They were very good at finding the right moments for candid shots as well as having an excellent eye for lighting, angles and setting. They were very good at making you feel comfortable while being photographed.

We would highly recommend them.

Above and beyond our expectations

I cannot rave enough about Norbert and his wife. They were professional, friendly, funny and unique. They absolutely went out of their way to get us some amazing photographs after the rain decided to pour down. The photos are a mix of natural and posed for and we are over the moon with how they turned out. Thank you for creating such special memories for us

The best day of your life captured forever and never forgotten

If you're reading this you'll want the main points up front and quickly and so with that in mind—let me start with that Norbert and Ingrid are everything that you want from a photography team who are professional, caring and provide the best customer service and product.

The brilliance that you get with Norbert:
• Ingrid - his partner and colleague who runs the schedule for the day
• Personable and puts you at ease
• Professional and in control
• Highly Attentive
• The best eye for the right shot
• Clear communicator
• Polite
• Strong work ethic and consistent
• Prepared and equipped
• Organised
• Takes ownership

As a top level summary, I couldn't recommend Norbert any higher (which is highly recommended) than what I am for your wedding day - don't hesitate in booking, you're in extremely safe, professional, excellently executed and caring hands.

We set Norbert some really big expectations in capturing the passion and fun across three events (civil wedding, culture wedding, evening reception) where 200 people were attending and he over-delivered!

He made the day really magical and a year on, we still look at his photographs and discover new photos we didn't notice that make us smile more and more. I've bookmarked the hosting site on my phone so that I can browse through them on my train commute to provide a lift to the morning.

And that should also be noted - no hidden costs with Norbert. You know upfront what you're paying for and getting - a highly skilled and caring photographing team, ALL photos digitally, options to print and excellent customer service.

An expansion of my bullet points listed above which provides more colour to them:
• Norbert brings the sunshine with him - a person and personality that immediately befriends you and makes you feel as if you're family and puts you at ease.

It's not luck, Norbert is a master of his art and profession and that came through very clearly which clearly sets his execution and professionalism in the upper tier.

• Highly, highly attentive - Norbert quickly took the time to quickly understand who our nearest and dearest were and ensured that everyone was captured. This demonstrated his creative eye for finding the best opportunities for the timeless shots.

• Excellent communication - As you can imagine directing 200 guests is not the easiest thing to do but Norbert not only managed to take control but articulated his instructions and directions very clearly. And all done in the most polite manner.

• Work ethic and preparation - Our wedding was a full day affair that started at 8am and finished at 10pm for Norbert and he soldiered through it. He maintained a high level of performance throughout the day and his consistency came through in the final shots.

For such a long day you need to be organised and prepared and Norbert epitomised this with his multiple cameras, lenses, flashes, batteries, tripods, etc. He was fully equipped and ready. As a result we felt completely at ease.

• Taking ownership - Norbert really owned the day. There's a lot of pressure on a wedding day and Norbert really delivered. There were 200 guests at our wedding and he took ownership of his responsibilities and brought everyone on board to enjoy the day and work with him.

I have to give a shout out to Ingrid, Norbert's partner. She really supports him and they are absolutely a team and work in harmony together to ensure that the best photographs are captured on the day.

From reading all of the above, I hope you've realised that I've spent time writing this because Norbert and Ingrid deserve it. They were a real corner stone to making our day magical. Thank you Norbert and Ingrid x

Wedding Photography

We had a great experience with Norbert and Ingrid, the dynamic duo behind our unforgettable wedding photography. From the very beginning, Ingrid's expertise proved to be an invaluable asset in orchestrating the perfect timeline for our special day. Her insightful suggestions on optimising the use of natural sunlight ensured that each moment was captured in the best light possible.

Ingrid's commitment to excellence was evident even before the big day, as she went the extra mile during our pre-wedding meeting. Her extensive background in the wedding industry, particularly her experience working in wedding shops, provided us with invaluable tips and tricks.

The true magic, however, unfolded through Norbert's lens. His ability to capture the most natural, candid moments was nothing short of extraordinary. With an artistic eye and an instinct for seizing the happiest instances, he immortalized our joy, laughter, and the profound emotions that filled our hearts on that remarkable day. His talent in orchestrating the guests for group photographs was remarkable, ensuring that everyone felt at ease and looked their best, resulting in a collection of images that we will treasure forever.

Their combined efforts resulted in a seamless and breathtaking depiction of our wedding day, and we are thankful to Norbert and Ingrid for their dedication, passion, and unparalleled skills. If you are seeking a team of professionals who will not only capture your wedding day but enhance every moment of it, we wholeheartedly recommend Norbert and Ingrid.

What can we say? Norbert and Ingrid, you’re absolutely fantastic! From when we first met you both you made us feel at ease and throughout the entire process you have strived to produce the best photos of our special day. Even with several wedding date changes, you were accommodating and kept in touch with us over a two year period. On the big day, you managed to capture not just the usual wedding photos but precious moments that may have otherwise been missed. Your personality and charisma shone through and was noted by all of our guests who enjoyed your company and your professionalism cannot be questioned. We knew the photos would be amazing but when we saw the final result we were blown away. We would highly recommend yourselves to anyone and everyone who needs a photographer who will give 110% for you.

Thank you so much for the timeless memories.

Timmins wedding

We really enjoyed having Norbert photograph our special day. During the pandemic both Norbert and his wife Ingrid were accommodative and answered emails promptly. On the day Norbert arrived on time and was well prepared with many different cameras and devices. Throughout the day both Norbert and his wife helped to ensure our day was calm, relaxing but still managed to capture every special moment. I don't think I could actually put into words just how beautiful our wedding photos were and every time I look at them I notice something else, or someone else on the photo that I hadn't noticed before. They tell the story of our day perfectly. Our photos were sent back to us so quickly and they were such high quality. I would recommend them to photograph any wedding.
