Six Eight Weddings · Essex Photography + Films

Prep to party.
I'm in it with you.

I'm Carl. I shoot weddings the way they actually feel: unscripted, sociable, a bit chaotic at times. No stiff lineups, no performing for the camera, just your day, captured properly.

Why Six Eight

Real moments over rehearsed ones.

I'd rather capture you with your guests than pose you against a nice wall for the tenth time.

In practice that means I spend the day being sociable rather than directing you, keeping your wedding party at ease so nobody's thinking about the camera at all.

Relaxed and unintrusive beats staged poses, every time, and it's the whole reason couples come to me.

Documentary, not directed

I follow the day rather than staging it. What you get back is what actually happened.

Fast turnaround, if you want it

The Premium photo package comes with a same day teaser gallery, and the complete experience adds a same day teaser reel too. No waiting months to relive it.

Just me, working the room

Solo by default, so it's one relationship, one style, one person you actually know on the day.

This really is the luxury package, and rightly so! I've partnered with Sophie Oldhamstead to deliver this package, which provides incredible content with close to £1,000 of savings.

Social reels New

Three to five vertical cuts from your day, edited for Instagram and TikTok and delivered within 5 days. I'm already there filming, so this is extra editing, not extra time on your day.

from £350
