Hibbard Photography Studio

I’m Louise — the photographer behind Hibbard Photography Studio in Moot House, Harlow. Wedding photography is one of my core passions and the service I specialise in. With over a decade of experience and regional industry recognition, I focus on telling your wedding day as it truly unfolded — honest, candid and full of feeling. Why choose me? I believe the best wedding photographs come from being present but invisible. My style is documentary-led with gentle direction: I look for the unscripted smiles, the stolen glances, the small gestures that mean everything. I work unobtrusively during vows and speeches, then guide relaxed couple moments that feel natural and timeless. Whether your day is an intimate registry signing in Harlow or a larger celebration elsewhere in Essex or the UK, I treat every wedding as its own story to be honoured. How I work with couples: from our first chat I prioritise what matters to you. We’ll discuss the feel you want, any key family formalities, and create a simple timeline so the day runs smoothly around photos — not the other way round. On the day I blend into the background for candid coverage and step forward with calm direction for portraits and group shots. I love quiet couple walks after the ceremony and the magic of golden hour — those relaxed moments often become the images you’ll treasure most. What makes my approach special is a combination of technical skill, empathy and a real love for human moments. As a parent myself I understand how quickly days become memories, and I aim to create photographs that will bring you back to the emotion of the day. I also work with venues across Essex and further afield for destination weddings, always adapting to light and space to deliver natural, flattering images. After the celebration I carefully edit your images to reflect the mood of your day and present them in an elegant gallery for you to view, share and keep. If you’re looking for a Harlow-based wedding photographer who values warmth, authenticity and storytelling, I’d love to hear about your plans and help capture the moments that matter.
