Ivory White Photography is a specialist wedding and engagement photographer in Colchester, creating timeless, light and dreamy images. I also offer relaxed wedding day content creation to capture candid moments.
I’m Helen at Ivory White Photography + Content Creation — a specialist wedding photographer based in Thorrington, Colchester. For the past 12 years I’ve built a practice around one clear idea: to record real emotions with a timeless, elegant aesthetic. My wedding work is classic and romantic, finished in a light, dreamy style that feels effortless and enduring. Why choose me? I blend unobtrusive, documentary-led storytelling with gentle, considered portraiture. I’m drawn to those candid moments — the quiet laugh between vows, the tear wiped away in the pew, the small details that tell the story of your day. At the same time I love to create a few calm, beautiful portraits of you both that will sit perfectly on your wall for years to come. My approach is relaxed and personable so couples feel comfortable in front of the camera even if they’re camera shy. What makes my approach special is the combination of an emotive eye and modern content skills. As well as stills, I offer wedding content creation — candid behind-the-scenes and highlight clips that feel natural and unforced. These short films are perfect for sharing with family or using on social media, created in a way that complements the photography rather than competing with it. How I work with couples: we start with a friendly conversation to understand what matters most to you. On the day I aim to be calm, discreet and organised — capturing your timeline without interruption. Whether you’re planning an intimate ceremony in Colchester or a larger celebration across Essex, Suffolk or London, I’ll work with your venue, your schedule and your mood to get authentic images that reflect the heart of your wedding. Engagement and bridal sessions are also available to help you feel relaxed ahead of the day and to create additional images that tell your story. My focus is always on creating galleries that feel honest, elegant and timeless — photographs you’ll return to again and again. If you’re looking for a dedicated wedding day photographer in Colchester who specialises in emotive, classic imagery with optional wedding content creation, I’d love to hear about your plans and help you preserve the moments that matter.
