Pictures that take you back to how you felt.
My documentary wedding photography approach captures the authentic moments of your wedding day – quiet and tender, joyful and loud, nostalgic and bittersweet, perfectly imperfect, and beautifully human.
I deliver a collection of unforgettable photographs with style, story, and soul, free from forced smiles and clichés. No directing your day—simply documenting it as it unfolds naturally. While you relax and enjoy the company of your loved ones, good food, and hospitality.
All you have to do is be yourself and enjoy your day.

Choosing a Wedding Photographer
How would you prefer to spend your wedding day – posing for photos, or making the most of this time with your loved ones?
Documentary Wedding Photography
Choosing your wedding photographer goes beyond style – it’s about capturing what truly matters to you both and how you want to experience your day. My relaxed, reportage style suits couples who are looking forward to spending quality time with loved ones – enjoying the food, drinks, and dancing – with minimal photo interruptions. Yet, you’ll still receive beautiful, candid, and authentic images – pictures that look and feel like you, capturing your precious memories.
With 15 years of experience as a dedicated full-time documentary wedding photographer, and a genuine passion for meeting new people, I have honed the ability to anticipate and capture those fleeting candid moments that reveal genuine connections and personalities. My photographs are timeless keepsakes, serving as reminders of the emotions and loved ones that made your wedding day unforgettable.
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.

Editing Style
My post-production and editing philosophy reflects my overall approach to wedding photography—authentic and honest. I never outsource the editing of the pictures I take, nor do I use AI to automatically choose and edit my images. Instead, I personally work on each individual photograph, dedicating the time these memories deserve.
I edit in a warm, true-to-colour, and vibrant style, working with both light and shadows rather than against them, delivering a mixture of colour and black-and-white photographs.
Memories,
not content.
Social media validation isn’t my priority. I believe in capturing the genuine emotions and connections that define your wedding. Rest assured, I will not be interrupting precious moments with requests for you to perform in front of my phone for a reel – your celebration deserves my full, undivided attention.
The resulting photographs are deeply personal heirlooms, meant to be cherished by generations to come, not fleeting social media content.
A Total Triumph!
We couldn’t have wished for a more comprehensive, sensitive, and stylish record of our lovely day.
WE love them.
Nemone & James
We can’t thank you enough for your part in our special day.
I didn’t think I’d get to be quoting magnificent comedy while having my wedding photos taken!
Quite simply, you were so much fun & it was perfect.
Everyone loved the photos & they loved you even more.
Thanks Tracy. Thracy

About Me
My journey wasn’t always set for capturing life’s most treasured moments. From academic aspirations in the field of astrophysics to documenting love stories as a wedding photographer, my path has been delightfully unexpected.
A lifetime of defying the Essex girl stereotype has likely shaped my embrace of this candid approach to wedding photography. It goes beyond the surface, revealing the authentic essence of individuals.
Behind the camera, you’ll find a passionate professional dedicated to making your wedding day stress-free. With 15 years of experience as a documentary wedding photographer, I’m based in Essex and frequently travel throughout the UK and Europe to capture a variety of weddings
I have many tales to tell and had some rather unusual experiences. To my knowledge, I might be the only wedding photographer responsible for a Christmas number one..
Could I be the perfect fit for your wedding?

Essex Wedding Planning
For detailed information on the booking process, my services, and fees, please visit my pricing page. As I take on limited bookings, I can fully devote the time and care that each couple and wedding deserves. Your story is unique, and I’m committed to capturing it in a way that reflects your personalities and moments.
I don’t adhere to a traditional style checklist. Instead, I capture moments that have never been seen before and will never be replicated. My photographs are a reflection of who you are and the genuine emotions that unfold. It feels like anthropology—an exploration of real stories and connections.
Typically, booking a wedding photographer comes after selecting a venue and catering, so it’s quite early in the planning timeline. Once you’ve checked the photographer off your to-do list, you’ll have quite a bit of research to do. To help you with this, I’ve compiled a list of my favourite local Essex wedding suppliers and venues, and a few from farther afield too. As an Essex wedding photographer with well over a decade of experience and insight, feel free to ask for advice on planning any aspect of your wedding.
