My experience, approach and photography style
There are what seems like thousands of wedding photographers in Essex, so it must be difficult finding the right one for your wedding day? Since becoming a photographer, I’ve had the privilege to photograph more than four hundred weddings at numerous venues throughout Essex and the UK. No matter what the situation I stay relaxed, unobtrusive and friendly at all times. Most people say they hate having their photo taken so I pride myself in putting people at ease no matter what the situation.
I believe wedding photographers should capture the atmosphere and emotion of your day, creating a story of everything that happens. I make sure I capture all the natural, un-posed moments along with stylish portraits and family group shots. We’ll spend time discussing your preferred style ahead of the big day so you know exactly what to expect. From sunset shots in the countryside to city scape backgrounds in the heart of London, you can find plenty of inspiration on my blog.
Your Wedding Day
No matter what the venue my aim is to capture the unique spirit of your wedding day. Starting with the bride and groom preparation, through to the wedding ceremony, formal groups, speeches, wedding cake and first dance. I also pay great attention to detail, making sure that all the little things you have spent so much time and money on don’t go unnoticed – capturing everything from shoes, buttonholes, table plans and wedding favours etc.

Award Winning Photographer
I’m acutely aware of the care that must be taken not to overwhelm couples with photography and lots of time away from their guests. As a result, I get great wedding photographs in a relatively short period, leaving you time to enjoy your wedding day with family and friends.
Some recent kind words
Outstanding photographer from start to finish!! While researching for a wedding photographer we had our reservations because we are the kind of couple that is usually very awkward around a camera but while looking through Barry’s gallery there was something different about the way he captured the smallest of moods and moments that we really liked. Barry was very approachable and had lots of ideas for our big day. We are in love with our pictures, Thank you so much Barry
My now-wife and I hired Barry for our wedding, and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice of photographer. From the start, Barry’s focus was on making us feel comfortable in front of the lens and ensuring all of our expectations for the day were as clear as possible. On the day he was polite and professional, and his crowd control was great (not to be underestimated when you need to pull people away from the bar to get in the frame before everyone else gets bored!). The photos were of outstanding quality and not a moment missed. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Barry’s services!
Finding the right wedding photographer for you
There are a bewildering number of wedding photographers to choose from, so how do you go about choosing the right one for you? Do you go for their style, price, quality or experience? Well of course, it is all of those things. As an experienced wedding and portrait photographer I know how stressful things can get on your wedding day if not managed in a calm and methodical way. Your wedding is not a photo shoot, it is meant to be a wonderful experience and something to remember. Please take the time to read my wedding testimonials. You will see that, the overwhelming theme is one of calm assuredness; something that I am very proud of.
