Specialist Colchester wedding photographer delivering natural, candid wedding photos. Cheryl creates relaxed engagement shoots and full-day storytelling coverage to preserve your day.
Cheryl Anne Photography is a specialist wedding photographer based in Colchester, Essex, focused on capturing the authentic, emotional moments that make each wedding unique. Cheryl describes her style as natural and candid — she looks for the small, honest reactions and the unscripted moments that couples and families return to again and again. With a warm, approachable manner shaped by years of experience and personal devotion to family life, Cheryl helps even the most camera-shy feel at ease. Why choose Cheryl Anne for your wedding? Her work blends documentary sensibility with thoughtful portraiture. Whether it’s a quiet, intimate exchange during the ceremony, spontaneous laughter at the reception, or a romantic couple portrait at golden hour, Cheryl frames each moment with care so your wedding photos feel timeless rather than trendy. She trained with formal qualifications (City & Guilds) and continues to refine her craft through workshops in lighting, newborns and weddings — a commitment to learning that shows in clean, well-composed images and confident use of light. How she works: Cheryl prioritises connection and preparation. Many couples choose a pre-wedding or engagement session so they can get to know her approach and feel comfortable in front of the camera — these sessions often become some of the couple’s favourite images. On the day, Cheryl offers a range of tailored packages from couple sessions to full-day coverage (including her featured "Moment in Time" full-day option). For larger events or more complete coverage, she can work with a trusted second shooter to capture guest reactions and alternative angles. The experience is relaxed and professional. Cheryl aims to create a calm atmosphere where people can be themselves; she coordinates group shots efficiently and blends into the day to catch candid moments without disrupting the flow. After the wedding, clients receive a fully edited online gallery and high-resolution images ready for print and sharing. Rooted in Colchester and proud to serve couples across Essex and beyond, Cheryl brings a personal, family-centred perspective to wedding photography. If you want natural, heartfelt wedding photos from a friendly, specialist photographer who values story and emotion above all, Cheryl Anne Photography is a great fit.
