Photographer in Chelmsford
If you are looking for a photographer in Chelmsford who captures real moments without turning your event into a photoshoot, you are in the right place. I photograph parties, corporate events, awards nights, launches and family celebrations with a calm, discreet approach, so you can enjoy the day while I capture the story as it unfolds.
What happens next: Send your date, venue, rough timings and the type of event, and I will reply within one working day with availability and a straightforward quote.
Discreet, story led coverage people actually enjoy
“Super easy going, professional, and managed to blend in effortlessly with the guests while capturing loads of great moments.”
I am there for the moments you would miss while you are hosting, chatting, presenting, or simply having a good time. Natural reactions, genuine atmosphere, and the details that make the day yours.
If you want photos that feel like the event did, not a highlight reel of staged poses, that is exactly how I work.
Event photography in Chelmsford
As an event photographer in Chelmsford, I cover everything from birthday parties and anniversaries to corporate functions, launches and awards nights. The aim is simple, tell the story of what happened, with energy, warmth, and the moments in between.
I have photographed events in and around Chelmsford including venues such as Hylands House and Chelmsford City Racecourse, and I am used to working across busy schedules, tight timings, and varied lighting.
If you are planning something bigger, such as multi room coverage, multiple venues, or content for marketing, tell me what you need and I will price it properly from the start.

What you will get, and how I keep it stress free
On the day: I work in a documentary style, blending in and staying calm so I do not interrupt the flow. I will capture candid moments as standard, and I am always happy to take a posed photo if someone asks, or if you would like a big group shot.
Delivery: Your images are delivered via a private online gallery with high resolution downloads and print options.
Reliability: I hold public liability insurance and bring backup equipment. On the day I record to dual cards and keep secure backups after the event.
- Natural, unposed photography, with a relaxed, professional presence
- Fully edited images, delivered as a complete story rather than random snapshots
- Private online gallery for sharing, downloads, and prints
