Lucie Watson Photography

I’m Lucie — a Hornchurch wedding photographer who believes great wedding photography is about storytelling, light and feeling. Specialising in light and airy, film‑inspired imagery, I focus on the little in‑between moments that often mean the most: the quiet smile, the laugh shared with a friend, the glow of golden‑hour light across a newly married couple. Why choose me for your wedding in Hornchurch, Essex or beyond? I work with couples who want natural, timeless photographs rather than stiff, overly posed images. My style leans documentary-led — I’m a fly on the wall for the majority of the day — but I’m happy to gently guide you when the light or moment asks for it. I love finding the golden hour and taking advantage of that soft, flattering light to create images that feel warm, emotive and authentic. My approach is calm, considered and heartfelt. From our first enquiry I aim to make the planning easy: we’ll chat about your day, share inspiration and I’ll offer practical tips (I even have a Golden Hour guide to help plan those perfect portraits). On the day I blend into the celebration so guests feel at ease, while staying attentive to details and emotion. I’m sentimental by nature and I know how important those candid, unrepeatable moments are. While weddings are my focus, I also capture engagement and portrait sessions for couples who want relaxed, natural images before or after the big day. I travel regularly for weddings and love photographing destination celebrations as much as local Hornchurch and Essex weddings — I’m happiest when I’m exploring new places with my camera. Ultimately my goal is simple: to create a gallery of images that you’ll return to again and again, each photograph bringing you back to how the day felt. If you’re looking for a specialist wedding photographer who values warmth, authenticity and beautiful, film‑inspired light, I’d love to hear about your plans and help tell your love story.
