At Chris Bedwell Photography, I specialise in capturing the beauty, emotion, and joy of your wedding day. Based in Ipswich, Suffolk, I proudly serve couples across Essex, Suffolk, and the surrounding areas, providing wedding photography that is natural, timeless, and uniquely yours.

I’ve been passionate about photography since the late 1980s, exploring light, composition, and storytelling through the lens. In 2011, I photographed my very first wedding, and from that moment, I knew I wanted to dedicate my career to capturing love stories. Over the years, I have photographed weddings in intimate countryside venues, grand historic halls, and charming coastal locations, each with its own personality and magic.

My Wedding Photography Approach

Every wedding is different, and I believe your photography should reflect your story. My approach is:

• Natural and Timeless: I focus on authentic moments — the laughter, the tears, the quiet glances — creating images that you will treasure forever.
• Relaxed and Personal: I guide couples throughout the day, making the experience comfortable and stress-free.
• Creative and Detail-Oriented: From the delicate lace of your dress to the joyful celebrations on the dance floor, I capture every detail thoughtfully.

I love photographing weddings in a wide variety of Essex and Suffolk venues, including:

• Countryside barns and rustic wedding venues in Suffolk
• Coastal weddings along the Suffolk and Essex shoreline
• Historic halls and grand estates in Essex
• Boutique venues in Ipswich, Colchester, and Bury St Edmunds

Tips for Couples

Planning your wedding photography can feel overwhelming, but a few simple tips make a big difference:

• Plan Your Day Around the Photos: Allocate enough time for portraits and group shots without feeling rushed.
• Trust Your Photographer: I work discreetly and naturally, capturing moments as they happen so you can enjoy your day.
• Think About the Light: Golden hour provides stunning soft light for portraits — perfect for romantic outdoor shots.
• Enjoy the Moment: Your genuine emotions are the best ingredients for timeless images.
