Could not be happier...
Barry photographed our wedding at Stockbrook Manor in February and we could not be happier. He was professional, very reasonably priced and provided an excellent service staying long after the first dance to ensure that we had plenty of pictures on the dance floor. We would recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

Very Professional!
Barry photographed our wedding in August this year. Through his Lens he truly captured the essence of the day. As well as his professional demeanour he also encompasses those gentle qualities needed for those particularly camera shy....

Barry photographed our Wedding in September 2016 and the photographs we received were perfect and just what we had discussed. Barry was well organised, friendly and managed to get everyone together for the photos we requested.

My experience, approach and wedding photography style

Since becoming a photographer I have photographed almost four hundred weddings at numerous wedding venues throughout Essex and the UK. My wedding photography approach is relaxed, unobtrusive and friendly. Most people say they hate having their photo taken, but I pride myself in putting people at ease no matter what the situation. I believe wedding photographers should capture the love and emotion of your wedding day and create a story of everything that happens. With that in mind I normally photograph a mixture of natural un-posed wedding photos (reportage/documentary wedding photography), traditional wedding photography and if the opportunity arises some creative or contemporary wedding photography. You may choose as much or as little of the style that suits you. From relaxed wedding photography in the Essex countryside to natural wedding photography in the heart of London you can find plenty of wedding inspiration on my wedding photography blog.

What to expect from your wedding photographer

I have photographed at many wedding venues in Essex and the surrounding counties and no matter what wedding venue you choose I like to capture the unique spirit of your wedding day. As can be seen by the pictures on this website I pay great attention to detail when it comes to capturing individual wedding images. Starting with the bridal preparations in the morning and all the little things that you have spent so much time and money on such as the flowers, the jewellery, the makeup, and hair, through to the wedding ceremony, formal groups, speeches, wedding cake and first dance. I photograph classic wedding portraits, friend & family groups and candid shots of your guests enjoying your wedding day. As a professional wedding photographer, I am acutely aware of the care that must be taken not to overwhelm my couples with too many instructions and lots of time away from their guests – I will get great wedding photographs in a relatively short period, leaving time for you to enjoy your wedding day with family and friends.

Please take the time to visit my weddings portfolio page for examples of my work.

Wedding Photographers in Essex – Finding the right one for you

There are a bewildering number of Essex Wedding Photographers and thousands more if you include Kent, London and the surrounding areas. Cheap wedding photographers are easy to find, but they come with a risk of being unreliable, unprofessional and with no insurance or backup procedure. So how do you go about choosing the right wedding photographer for you? Is it their style you go for, price, quality of work or experience? Well of course it is all of those things, but the most important thing is that you like them as a person. I have heard far too many horror stories about wedding photographers ordering guests around, barging people out of the way and being rude to get the picture they wanted. Please rest assured I am not like that. I would much rather not get those award winning wedding photographs if I thought it would upset somebody in the process. As a experienced wedding and portrait photographer I know how things can easily get out of hand and become very stressful if not managed in a calm and methodical manner.  Your wedding day 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 where you will see that the overwhelming theme is one of calm assuredness; this is something that I am very proud of.

What happens next….

To avoid disappointment can I please ask you to contact me to check on my availability for your proposed wedding date. Good wedding photographers in Essex or for that matter, anywhere in the UK often get booked up years in advance. Therefore, it is vitally important to find someone as soon as you have a date in mind. Please feel free to call me on 01277 655169 or Mob: 07825 789185 I am happy to answer the phone between 9am and 9pm seven days a week. I will normally reply to emails within 24 hours. If I am available for your wedding date then it is best to arrange a mutually convenient meeting. This can be at your home or mine where you can view sample wedding albums and discuss your wedding day plans in detail. I can visit any week day, evenings, and some weekends depending on my schedule.
