Hey! I'm Mae

I’m Mae, a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in Essex, capturing honest, joyful moments with warmth and heart. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll probably find me with a coffee in one hand and a book in the other!

I love books

If I'm not editing or out shooting, I'm probably in Waterstones convincing myself I need just one more book. I’m a big fan of getting lost in stories. If you're a fellow book lover, we’ll get along just fine (and yes, I'm always up for a good recommendation!).

gigs are the best

There’s nothing quite like the buzz of live music - singing your heart out and making memories that stay with you long after the lights go down. I've been lucky enough to to The Eras Tour, Take That, Hozier, and many more!

italian food >>>

Pizza, pasta, and a glass of wine? Yes please. There’s something about a cosy Italian meal that brings people together in the best way. Also: if you’re having a pizza van at your wedding, I will absolutely be your biggest fan.

How do I book you?

Booking a photography session is easy. Simply reach out to me through my website, email, or phone, and let me know the type of session you're interested in. I'll guide you through the process, discuss your requirements, and find a convenient date and time for your session.

Can we choose the location for our photo shoot?

Absolutely! I believe that the location plays a significant role in capturing unique and personalized photographs. Whether it's at your home, a scenic outdoor location, or a venue of your choice, I'm open to capturing your portraits in a place that holds meaning to you.

How long does a typical photo session last?

The duration of a photo session varies depending on the type and scope of the project. Portrait sessions typically range from 1 to 2 hours, while events and weddings can span several hours. I strive to provide ample time to capture all the important moments and ensure you feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the session.

I understand the anticipation of seeing your final photos. My editing process typically takes 1-2 weeks for portrait sessions, and up to 8 weeks for weddings, depending on the volume of images and the complexity of editing required. I prioritise quality and attention to detail to deliver exceptional images that exceed your expectations.

What happens if the weather is unfavorable on the day of an outdoor shoot?

If the weather doesn't cooperate on the day of an outdoor shoot, we can discuss alternatives such as rescheduling the session or finding an indoor location. I want to ensure the best possible outcome for your photos, and I'm flexible in adapting to unforeseen circumstances.
