No two weddings are the same, and your photographs shouldn’t feel like they are.
My style blends documentary wedding photography in Essex with refined fine art composition. Instead of directing every moment, I quietly observe throughout the day, looking for the interactions, laughter, and emotion that often happen when nobody realises the camera’s there.
Of course, I’ll provide gentle guidance when it’s needed, particularly during your couple’s portraits or family photographs, but these moments are natural, relaxed, and never rushed.
The rest of your gallery is built around authentic memories that reflect your personalities and the atmosphere you’ve worked so hard to create. The result is a collection of photographs that feel elegant, natural, and unmistakably yours.
Documentary Wedding Photographer with a Fine Art Touch
From coastal venues in Essex to historic estates in Suffolk and contemporary London venues, I’ve photographed weddings in a wide range of beautiful locations. Every venue brings its own character, lighting, and atmosphere, and I work with each setting to create images that complement your day without making it feel staged.
If you’re looking for a wedding photographer covering Essex, Suffolk, and London, you’ll have someone who understands how to work discreetly in every environment. This includes adapting naturally to changing weather, busy timelines, and unexpected moments while keeping the experienced relaxed.
Wedding Photography Across Essex, Suffolk, and London
Picking your wedding photographer doesn’t just mean finding someone who can take some nice pictures. You’ll spend a lot of your wedding day with them, so it’s important to feel comfortable.
From our first conversation through to delivering your finished gallery, I keep the experience straightforward, friendly, and personal. I’ll take the time to understand what’s important to you, answer your questions, and help your day flow naturally, letting you enjoy yourself without worrying about the photography.
My goal is for you to look back at your wedding photos and remember how it felt to be there, on top of how it looked.
A Calm, Personal Experience
Isobel & Oscar
Thank you so much for the beautiful photos you took of us on our wedding day. We honestly could not have dreamed of better and we were absolutely blown away when we opened the album. The photos are just stunning! Mae captured beautiful moments of our guests which is just what we were after and got some gorgeous photos with the light and photos that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. Mae was such a calming and reassuring presence on the day, from the moment she arrived to when she left, and also in the months leading up to the wedding.
"We honestly could not have dreamed of better"
"She truly went above and beyond"
We honestly cannot thank Mae enough for everything she did for us on our wedding day. From start to finish she made the whole day run so smoothly and completely stress-free. She truly went above and beyond, not just as our photographer but as a calming, reassuring presence throughout the day.
So many of our guests commented on how lovely, kind, and professional she was, and it meant so much to hear that everyone felt at ease around her. Her talent is incredible and her attention to detail is second to none every moment was captured so beautifully.

"Mae was professional, personable, and incredibly attentive to our vision"
I recently had the pleasure of working with Mae for our wedding, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results. From the moment we met, Mae was professional, personable, and incredibly attentive to our vision for the day.
The photos captured not only the big moments but also the small, candid ones that truly tell the story of our celebration. The attention to detail and the ability to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera made all the difference. We're so grateful for the beautiful memories preserved in these stunning images. Highly recommend!
