the wedding experience

mae wickham photography

Your wedding is more than a sequence of events. It is a collection of moments, relationships, and quiet exchanges that deserve to be preserved with honesty and artistry.

I work with couples who value experience, aesthetics, and authenticity. My approach blends observational storytelling with an editorial eye, resulting in photographs that feel polished yet deeply personal. Nothing forced, nothing overstated.

From the anticipation of the morning through to the energy of the evening, your gallery is crafted as a cohesive visual story.

Artistic and Timeless Wedding Photography

I photograph weddings with a refined, documentary approach, creating imagery that feels natural, elegant, and enduring. As an Essex wedding photographer, my focus is on capturing atmosphere, emotion, and meaningful detail with care and intention.

Each wedding is documented with sensitivity and restraint, allowing the story of the day to unfold without interruption. I take a measured, unobtrusive role throughout the wedding day. This allows you to remain fully present while I document moments as they naturally happen.

Guidance is always available when helpful, particularly during portraits, but never at the expense of flow or feeling. The balance is simple. Direction when needed, space when it matters. This creates imagery that feels relaxed, refined, and true to you.

I'm based in Essex and regularly photograph weddings across Essex, London, and throughout the UK. I also accept a small number of destination weddings each year.

If you are planning a wedding and value thoughtful photography, a calm experience, and timeless imagery, I would love to hear more about your plans. Enquire for availability and a detailed wedding photography guide.

Isobel & Oscar

Thank you so much for the beautiful photos you took of us on our wedding day. We honestly could not have dreamed of better and we were absolutely blown away when we opened the album. The photos are just stunning! Mae captured beautiful moments of our guests which is just what we were after and got some gorgeous photos with the light and photos that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. Mae was such a calming and reassuring presence on the day, from the moment she arrived to when she left, and also in the months leading up to the wedding.

"We honestly could not have dreamed of better"

"She truly went above and beyond"

We honestly cannot thank Mae enough for everything she did for us on our wedding day. From start to finish she made the whole day run so smoothly and completely stress-free. She truly went above and beyond, not just as our photographer but as a calming, reassuring presence throughout the day.

So many of our guests commented on how lovely, kind, and professional she was, and it meant so much to hear that everyone felt at ease around her. Her talent is incredible and her attention to detail is second to none every moment was captured so beautifully.

"Mae was professional, personable, and incredibly attentive to our vision"

I recently had the pleasure of working with Mae for our wedding, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results. From the moment we met, Mae was professional, personable, and incredibly attentive to our vision for the day.

The photos captured not only the big moments but also the small, candid ones that truly tell the story of our celebration. The attention to detail and the ability to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera made all the difference. We're so grateful for the beautiful memories preserved in these stunning images. Highly recommend!

I believe the best images are created when couples feel relaxed and truly present. By working quietly and intuitively, I allow moments to unfold naturally, capturing the atmosphere, emotion, and subtle details that define your day.
My work is for couples who value experience over excess, and imagery that feels timeless, honest, and quietly refined.

A considered approach and a calm presence.

I specialise in natural, documentary-led wedding photography with a refined editorial influence. As an Essex wedding photographer, my focus is on capturing real moments, genuine emotion, and the atmosphere of the day as it naturally unfolds. The result is timeless imagery that feels honest, elegant, and true to your wedding.

Where are you based and do you travel for weddings?

I am based in Essex and regularly photograph weddings across Essex, London, and throughout the UK. I also travel for destination weddings where the setting and celebration align with my style. Travel is always welcomed and discussed as part of the booking process.

My approach is calm, unobtrusive, and considered. I work quietly in the background, stepping in only when needed and allowing moments to happen naturally. Couples often tell me they feel at ease knowing their day is being captured without interruption or pressure.
