Documentary Wedding Photographer
Warm
Natural
Authentic
My documentary wedding photography captures authentic moments—quiet and tender, joyful and loud, perfect and messy, nostalgic and bittersweet.
Unforgettable photos with style and soul, free from forced smiles and clichés. No directing, just documenting your day naturally.
Style Story Soul
Pictures that make you feel.
Jess & Tom
Tracy’s photos go so far beyond just recording an event and instead tell an emotional story that is always centered around people and characters.
I believe that it is this fascination with and understanding of people that makes her one of the most incredible wedding photographers and I would never have picked anyone else for our wedding.
No staging or directing, no bossing people about, to frame the moment in the best way possible I move myself. I also only use prime lenses; no zooming in—I move my feet to compose the scene.
Leading your eye to the elegant bride Frances, arriving at the church in Danbury, with the frame filled with people and the details of this emotive moment, just before she walks down the aisle.
For me, this is documentary wedding photography: observant, patient, low-key, and honest.
Choosing A Wedding Photographer
It’s not just about style – it’s about how you want to experience your day.
My relaxed, reportage style suits couples who look forward to spending quality time with loved ones, enjoying engaging conversation and delicious food, with minimal photo interruptions. You’ll receive candid, beautiful images that remind you of how you felt on your first day of married life.
I have 15 years of experience as a full-time documentary wedding photographer and a genuine passion for meeting new people and hearing their stories. I become part of the wedding, like an extra guest. I anticipate and capture natural moments that reveal genuine connections and personalities. I am not there to stage moments or tell people what to do. I am the record keeper.

About me
My journey didn’t begin with wedding photography. I traded academic aspirations in astrophysics for a career documenting life, a fascinating unexpected path. I will never forget the people I have met along the way.
A lifetime of defying the Essex girl stereotype has shaped my honest approach, capturing moments that reveal the authentic essence of people by looking beneath the surface.
With 15 years of experience as a documentary wedding photographer, I’m based in Essex but often travel across the UK and Europe, dedicated to creating a stress-free wedding experience.
I’ve gathered many stories and had some very unique experiences. To my knowledge, I might be the only wedding photographer responsible for a festive chart-topper. Back in 2009, I was instrumental in Rage Against the Machine’s Christmas number one!
