Paul Cudmore Photography ltd

I specialise in wedding photography from my Colchester studio, bringing decades of experience and an award-winning eye to each celebration. My work focuses on genuine moments — the quiet glances, impromptu laughter and the small details that together tell the story of a wedding day. As a specialist in wedding and engagement photography I blend journalistic reportage with relaxed traditional portraits so every couple gets a natural, beautiful visual narrative. My approach is unobtrusive and attentive. I aim to be part of the day without being intrusive: photographing candid moments as they unfold and stepping in for thoughtfully composed portraits when they best serve the story. I commonly work with a second photographer to broaden coverage and ensure I capture both the big moments and the little, meaningful interactions. Technically I use professional, reliable equipment (chosen for low-light performance and secure file backup) so you can trust that every important image is preserved. Presentation is as important as the images themselves. I work with Graphistudio books and carefully designed book layouts to create lasting, narrative wedding books that sit beautifully on your coffee table and invite reliving the day again and again. Couples are welcome to visit the Colchester studio by appointment to view samples and discuss how their story will be told – I prefer a personal planning conversation so your priorities for the day are understood and captured. Credentials and a long-standing dedication to craft inform my work. I hold professional qualifications with B.I.P.P and the M.P.A and have been recognised regionally for wedding photography. Above awards, what drives me is the chance to create honest, timeless images that mean something to the people in them. If you are planning a wedding in Colchester, the surrounding counties or further afield and you want a specialist who values storytelling, craftsmanship and calm professionalism, I’d love to talk. Engagement and bridal portrait sessions are also available to help you feel relaxed and confident on the day. Let’s discuss the look and feel you want and how best to preserve your memories.
