I am Mae, an Essex wedding photographer documenting weddings with a focus on atmosphere, connection, and quiet detail.

My work is shaped by a calm, observational approach, allowing each wedding to unfold naturally. I create images that feel considered and enduring, capturing not just how your day looked, but how it felt.

creating artistic

& visionary images

From our first conversation to the delivery of your final gallery, the experience is designed to feel calm and seamless.

I take on a limited number of weddings each year to ensure every couple receives my full creative focus. I am present when needed, discreet when not, and always working with intention to support the flow of your day.

A Considered Experience

how i work

music is everything

what I love

There’s nothing quite like the buzz of live music - singing your heart out and making memories that stay with you long after the lights go down. I've been lucky enough to to The Eras Tour, Noah Kahan, Hozier, and many more!


I love books

If I'm not editing or out shooting, I'm probably in Waterstones convincing myself I need another book. I’m a big fan of getting lost in stories (and yes, I'm always up for a good recommendation!).



hiking adventures

Outside of weddings, I love spending time exploring new landscapes. I've climbed both Ben Nevis and Scafell Pike, and my love for hiking and adventure brings a sense of calm and perspective that influences how I work!

i believe in

I photograph with intention rather than instruction.
By working unobtrusively, I allow space for real moments to emerge - the fleeting expressions, the subtle gestures, and the in-between moments that define a wedding far more than a schedule ever could. This approach creates imagery that feels relaxed, genuine, and deeply personal.
