Testimonials

Mae is the most talented photographer I have ever met, and I have met many. She has given us the best wedding pictures a couple could dream of. She is professional, kind and caring and makes sure the process from booking to the big day runs as smoothly as possible. We couldn't imagine booking anyone else. She is going to go exceptionally far in life as her work is just beyond stunning. If you are looking for an incredible documentary style photographer who gets amazing candid shots but also does a fabulous job on the formals, I would absolutely recommend her. She truly captured the magical fairytale essence of our wedding in the best way possible.

Testimonials

"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!"

Testimonials

"Mae has been very helpful. She has arranged a video call as an introduction and one just before the wedding which gave myself and my husband the reassurance that we need. She has been able to turn my vision into reality and have capture so many great moments from my wedding. She had made sure everything that we asked for was complete and best of all, our guests loved her."

FAQ

What is your photography style?

I specialise in a documentary style of wedding photography, which means I focus on capturing candid, natural moments as they unfold. My approach is all about telling the true story of your day, with a mix of beautiful portraits and genuine, unscripted moments.

Where in the UK do you cover?

I work mostly in Essex, Kent, Suffolk, and London. Covering towns such as Maldon, Chelmsford, and Colchester, and venues like Great Lodge, Quendon Hall, Crondon Park, and The Warren!

How far in advance should we book you?

I recommend booking as soon as possible, especially if your wedding is during peak season (spring and summer). My calendar can fill up quickly, so securing your date early ensures that I’ll be available to capture your special day.

How many photos will we receive?

The number of photos you receive depends on the length of coverage and the specifics of your day. Typically, for a full-day wedding, you can expect to receive between 400-600 edited images, all of which are delivered in high-resolution.

Do you offer engagement shoots?

Absolutely! Engagement shoots are a great way for us to get to know each other before the big day, and they provide you with beautiful, professional photos to use for save-the-dates, invitations, or simply to celebrate your engagement.

How long will it take to receive our wedding photos?

Your photos will typically be ready within 6-8 weeks after your wedding. I’ll take the time to carefully edit each image to ensure the highest quality. However, I’ll provide a few sneak peeks shortly after your wedding to give you something to enjoy while you wait.

Do you travel for weddings?

Yes, I’m based in Essex, but I’m more than happy to travel for weddings throughout the UK and beyond. If your wedding is outside of Essex or it's surrounding counties, please reach out to discuss travel arrangements and any additional costs.

SHOULD WE BOOK A SECOND PHOTOGRAPHER?

Second photographers are great for those bigger (100+ guests) because it’s impossible for me to capture all the fun at larger weddings!
