The amazing couples below booked me to be their wedding photographer; here is what they had to say about how I capture real wedding memories you’ll cherish.
The creative quality and attention to detail in Ross’s pictures is second to none… our personalities shone through beautifully throughout the album (as did those of our family, including the dog!).
Not only is he a thoroughly lovely chap, behind the lens I would recommend Ross Willsher to any wedding couple looking for a photographer – LGBTQ+ or otherwise.
We can’t thank him enough.

We would absolutely recommend Ross to anyone to capture their special days. We both hate having our photos taken but Ross made us feel at ease from the very beginning. We are so thrilled with the photos and hope that we'll get Ross to take our photos at another opportunity!!

Ross is friendly, good fun, flexible, cooperative, professional and VERY good at his job. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer and will recommend him to anyone that will listen!

Wedding days fly by. One minute you’re arriving at your Essex wedding venue with butterflies of excitement and anticipation, and the next moment you’re striking elegant shapes on the dance floor. The power of wedding photography lies within its ability to freeze time, to preserve emotions and to enable you to relive this wonderful day over and over again.

Picture the scene a few years after your Essex wedding; it’s a wet and windy autumnal Sunday afternoon. You’re cosied together on the sofa after a hearty roast dinner. You reach over to the bookshelf and lift off your wedding album. Suddenly, you’re transported right back in time to that magical day. All the magical moments, the tears and excitement bounce off your wedding photographs and into your hearts.
The sound of laughter – both your own and that of your guests – echoes around your ears, and your veins are filled once again with a rush of wedding endorphins. Whilst these precious moments and feelings may be fleeting during your wedding celebrations, they will live on infinitely in your wedding photos for the duration of your marriage and beyond.

Wedding photographer essex: FAQs
Wedding photography in Essex (and across the UK) can vary greatly in price. Before determining your wedding photographer budget, decide what is important to you when it comes to choosing your wedding photographer.Many photographers will focus purely on technical ability and the quality of the wedding photo albums they offer.
However, there is so much more to consider when booking your Essex wedding photographer. Do you want them to be calm and reassuring or the life and soul of the party? Do you want to be guided and posed or left to enjoy the day.
Are there insecurities and things about your body you are self-conscious about? That might mean you’ll prioritise someone with compassion and understanding. There is a huge difference in the cost of Essex wedding photographers, but we each bring our unique approach to capturing your day.
When you invest in me, you can be guaranteed that I will invest my time in making sure you have the most uplifting and empowering experience of being photographed. Your confidence and self-esteem matter greatly to me.
Instead of asking why wedding photography is so expensive, ask how it would feel to look back in years to come and have no photos of your wedding. As wedding photographers, we refer to wedding photography as an investment because the value of the work we produce only increases over time.
When family and friends are no longer with you on this planet, photographs of these loved ones are all that remains. Decades after your wedding, your wedding photographs will be all you have left to remember your day.
Fear not! The best thing about being one of many wedding photographers in Essex is that I know some hugely talented professional photographers who can stand in for me at the drop of a hat. It will be my responsibility to source an alternative Essex wedding photographer of similar ability and style.
Wedding photos with a timeless quality aren’t always created under perfect weather conditions. If your wedding takes places in wet and windy conditions, we have several choices; wait for breaks in the weather, get creative indoors or embrace it and get a little wet. I bring clear umbrellas to my shoots so poor weather never limits the amount or quality of the wedding photos you receive.
No. I have studied and worked hard for many years to be able to produce wedding photos of the highest quality and prefer to focus (no pun intended) on these still images and not create wedding films. I can happily recommend a range of talented videographers who have captured many a magical wedding moment and produce exceptional videography coverage. They can turn real weddings in to cinematic masterpieces and compliment my wedding photos perfectly.
