Behind The Lens
About me!
——————————————————
Hi, I’m Chloe, a photographer based in Colchester, Essex and Suffolk with over 11 years of self-taught experience and formal training in Art, Design & Photography then a further 2 year photography course leading me to university. My journey began as a child, snapping simple everyday objects on a toy camera - a moment that sparked a lifelong passion. Generations of family cameras passed into my hands, teaching me to see the world through a lens long before I studied techniques and technical skills at college. Photography has led me to develop a real passion for capturing genuine, unfiltered moments - whether that’s the energy of a live event, a special occasion, or the small in-between details that often go unnoticed. For me, photography is all about storytelling and creating images that people can look back on and truly feel whilst helping people feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera. I love being part of people’s important moments and turning them into lasting memories.
Today, I blend hands-on experimentation with professional expertise, developed through client collaborations and real-world practice. My work is rooted in curiosity, shaped by every opportunity I’ve embraced and every mentor who’s guided me.
What’s next?
I began university in September 2025 to continue developing my skills and expanding my creative approach. Alongside my studies, I’m focused on growing my business further, with the long-term goal of opening my own photography studio.
Thank you to everyone who has supported my journey so far - I’m excited to continue creating and growing together.
Inspired by the past. Focused on the future.

What do I offer?
Chloe's Photography offers a straightforward and flexible service for all your event needs, whether it’s weddings, parties, festivals, or other special occasions. I work by one big bundle. After you get in touch and decide to hire me, I’ll arrange a client meeting to discuss your requirements in detail. This meeting is usually face-to-face but can also be held via phone or video call for your convenience. Following our initial meeting, a £50 deposit is required within 7 days to secure your date. My rate is £40 per hour of shooting, and after your event, the final balance should be paid within 7 days. If the shoot overruns, additional time will be charged accordingly. This package covers not just my time photographing but also editing, exporting images, and software usage, ensuring you receive a complete and professional service. Please note, travel fees may apply depending on your event location.
