Essex is one of the busiest wedding counties in the country, and for good reason: Tudor manors with moats, Georgian estates with lakes, converted barns and coastal venues within easy reach of London. Pixton Media is a wedding photographer and videographer team based in Telford that travels to Essex for weddings, with the same calm, documentary approach we bring to every wedding.
Real Essex wedding: Phill & Amanda at Leez Priory
Phill and Amanda married at Leez Priory on a golden afternoon in late June. The red-brick Tudor gatehouse, the moat and the hidden corners of the gardens gave us room for relaxed portraits without taking them away from their guests for long. See the full wedding gallery, read their real wedding story, or visit our Leez Priory wedding photographer page.
Essex wedding venues
Every Essex venue has its own light, layout and timings. We've written planning guides for some of the county's best-known venues: Leez Priory near Great Leighs, Gosfield Hall near Halstead, Braxted Park near Witham, Layer Marney Tower near Colchester and Hylands Estate in Chelmsford, and Channels Estate in Little Waltham.
Chelmsford, Colchester, Southend, Brentwood and Saffron Walden
We cover weddings right across the county: city and estate venues around Chelmsford, Colchester and north Essex, Brentwood and the Epping fringe, Saffron Walden and the Uttlesford countryside, and the coast from Southend-on-Sea to Maldon and the Dengie. Wherever you're marrying, we plan the timeline with you so travel between ceremony and reception never eats into your coverage.
Documentary and editorial wedding photography
Our style is documentary first: we photograph what actually happens, the nerves, the laughter, the hugs at the end of the aisle, and step in to guide you only for family groups and a short couple portrait session. The result is an editorial-feeling gallery that still looks like your day, not a staged one.
Wedding photographer and videographer in one team
Most Essex couples now want both photos and a film. Booking one team means one plan for the day, no one stepping into anyone else's shot, and a matching look across your photos and film. See our photo and film packages or read why one team makes planning easier.
Prices and travel
Packages are fixed and all-inclusive: full-day wedding photography is £1,600 (up to 10 hours, 400+ edited photos), a cinematic wedding film is £1,600, and photo and film together is £3,000 with an engagement session included. Sneak peeks land within 48 hours; full galleries follow in 6–8 weeks.
We're based in Telford, so when you enquire about an Essex wedding we quote travel clearly, plus an overnight stay if your morning starts early. You see the full figure before you book.
Booking your Essex wedding photographer
Essex is a county we keep coming back to: Phill and Amanda's summer wedding at Leez Priory in June 2026, and a wedding at Channels Estate in Little Waltham in October 2026. Peak summer Saturdays in Essex often book 9 to 18 months ahead, so it's worth asking early; mid-week and winter dates are usually easier. Want it filmed as well? Our Essex wedding videographer page explains how the photo and film team works together, and if you're also looking at venues over the border, see wedding photography in London. Send us your date and we'll confirm availability within 24 hours.
