ABOUT US

The Basics - Essex Based Wedding Photographers and Filmmakers.

 

When planning your wedding, one of the most important decisions is your guest list.  This is why it is crucial you know a bit more about your photographers to ensure they are the type of guests you want at your wedding.

OUR STORY

Some of the main qualities you need in a photographer are: calm, organised, creative, authoritative, professional, friendly, likeable, funny. 

Now, I (Star) may not always be all of those things (some may use the adjective chaotic), and Anton may not be a comedian, however, as a duo we are the complete package. 

​

We are a couple which means the way we work together is unique to us.

There is a sense of competition between us as we constantly strive to capture the best possible image. We can communicate without even speaking and can usually guess the other's next move. Don't worry we are a completely normal couple too, we bicker over dirty socks and stealing each others snacks and the thought of PDA makes us cringe.

​

Our story is a good one, we met when we both taught in the same school (yes, we do have a fantastic teacher voice to keep your guests in order) and eventually we became a couple. We started A* Photography alongside our day jobs specialising in portraits and wedding photography. In 2021 we welcomed our beautiful twin girls and decided to make A* Photography and Film our full-time occupation. 

​

The business began as just wedding photography and over the last few years we have expanded into wedding films too. We work more hours than we have ever worked before all whilst trying to raise two feral beasts... Toddlers... I mean toddlers. Don't let the fact we are parents put your off, the fact that we are parents mean we put even more into our work than we ever have. A* Photography & Film isn't just for us but for our family.
