A* Photography & Film

A* Photography & Film are Clacton-on-Sea wedding specialists who put people before poses. Star and Anton run the business as a couple, and that partnership shapes everything they do—a playful, efficient team that knows how to blend into your day while still delivering striking, cinematic images. Their aim is simple: be the kind of guests you actually want at your wedding, and create a visual story that feels authentic to you. Their style leans documentary-first: they watch for genuine moments, capture natural emotion and only step in when a little guidance will improve a picture. Expect candid laughter, spontaneous reactions and considered compositions that together build a dramatic, timeless wedding story. When portraits are needed, A* Photography & Film keep them intimate and unobtrusive—couple sessions are typically brief and relaxed so you can return to your guests quickly without losing any photographic quality. Working with A* Photography & Film is collaborative and down-to-earth. From first contact through to the final gallery, they prioritise clear communication and a friendly rapport. They listen to how you want your day photographed and adapt their approach accordingly; whether you want a mostly documentary record or a few more planned shots, they tailor their presence to suit your wishes. A final consultation helps them understand the flow of your day and ensures they become the photographers you want on the day. While wedding photography is their core expertise, they also offer videography as a complementary service. Their films follow the same documentary and cinematic sensibility—designed to enhance the memory of your day without overpowering it. Photography remains the primary focus, but if you’d like moving-picture highlights to pair with your images, they can arrange video coverage to suit. Rooted in Essex and experienced across many venues, A* Photography & Film combine professionalism with a relaxed, personable approach. Their team mindset—born from years of working together and a shared creative eye—means you get consistent coverage, thoughtful direction when needed, and images that tell the real story of your wedding day. If you want wedding photos that feel honest, cinematic and made by people you enjoy being around, A* Photography & Film in Clacton-on-Sea are a specialist choice.
