Natural Wedding, Newborn and Family Photographer

Hi, I’m Becky, the storyteller behind Becky Bates Photography, a wedding and family photographer located just outside London. With a BA Hons Degree in Design from Norwich University of the Arts and 20 years or creative experience for large corporates and prestigious fashion magazines like Marie Claire, I bring a unique artistic vision, a keen sense of composition, and a love for visual storytelling to every image I capture. I specialise in natural wedding photography, documenting love stories across the UK and beyond. My relaxed, documentary-led style captures genuine moments, real emotions, and the distinct personality of each couple or family. Additionally, I offer family photography and newborn photography, striving to create beautiful, timeless images that feel effortless yet artfully composed, ensuring my subjects look their best and always gorgeous.
I’m a wedding photographer based in Upminster, specialising in natural, authentic weddings across Essex, Hertfordshire, Suffolk, and London. My relaxed, unobtrusive approach captures your day as it unfolds - from quiet, tender moments to laughter-filled celebrations - highlighting your beauty, personality, and the unique spirit of your wedding.
I focus on meaningful connections, little details, and genuine interactions, creating timeless images you’ll treasure forever. Many couples who choose me for their weddings return for family and newborn photography, trusting me to capture every precious chapter of their lives.

I create some of the most beautiful and natural family photography in Upminster, Brentwood, Shenfield, Chelmsford, and surrounding areas.
My approach captures genuine connections and joyful moments, letting your family be themselves without posed or staged shots.
Sessions can take place in my studio or on location, creating timeless, heartfelt images tailored to your family’s story. Every experience is enjoyable and personal, focusing on the little details that make your family unique.
I aim to preserve the essence of your family, producing portraits that will be cherished for years and proudly displayed in your home.
I love capturing the tiny, fleeting moments of early childhood in Upminster, Brentwood, Shenfield, Chelmsford, and across Essex. From delicate newborn cuddles to playful little ones, my sessions are relaxed, natural, and centred on your child’s personality and your family’s unique story.
Whether in a cosy studio or a lifestyle on-location shoot, I create authentic, heartfelt images that preserve these precious early years. My goal is to document the love, curiosity, and joy of your little ones.
Every session is tailored to your child, focusing on genuine expressions, special details, and the quiet magic of childhood that passes all too quickly.
