Essex Wedding Photographer

Bride portrait by Essex Wedding Photographer Chris Boland

Hello and thank you for finding my wedding photography and films. My name is Chris Boland and I am an Essex wedding photographer mixing a refined style with a relaxed documentary approach. I believe that the most meaningful photography should not be complicated.

Timeless Essex Wedding Photography

I have been photographing weddings across Essex for nearly ten years and have experience of working at many of the best venues in the area. These venues include Leez Priory, Gosfield Hall and Parklands Quendon Hall.

“Chris and his team were fantastic at our wedding. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. The pictures and film were beautiful! What’s more we had preview pics within a few days, and the full photo album ready in 2 weeks with the videos shortly after. We would recommend Chris and his team 100%. They helped make our day very special..”

About Me

The first good photograph I took was of Bob Dylan. It was with a simple 35mm film camera at a music festival many years ago. The picture was just a snapshot, but it captured the spirit of the day – which is what it’s all about.

I spent many years photographing concerts and musicians for a newspaper. All through this time, I was learning how to use a camera and how to photograph people, and it was a wonderful way to learn.

Today I’m a wedding photographer and videographer and could not be happier. It would be a pleasure to join you on your wedding adventure and to document your celebrations.
