I'm Becky, a Creative Director and brand specialist with over 20 years' experience bringing brands to life through strategy, design and storytelling.
I also believe the best stories come from people. Whether I'm photographing a wedding, a newborn or a family, I have a natural ability to make people feel comfortable and confident, allowing their personality to shine through. By capturing genuine moments, energy and connection, I create images that feel authentic, human and true to the people in them.
Based in Upminster, I photograph weddings across Essex, Hertfordshire, Suffolk, London and beyond. I never disrupt the flow of your day — my calm, friendly nature helps people feel at ease in front of the camera.

Kind Words
"Thank you so much for the wonderful pictures - you are amazing at what you do! The photo of my son on the rope swing perfectly sums up my middle child. You knew it would be such a great shot - thank you. I love them all!"
"We recently had a photo session with Becky Bates, and we couldn't be happier with the results. She captured my daughter in such a natural, beautiful way — nothing felt forced or overly posed, and the images truly reflect her personality. The photos are absolutely stunning and feel so authentic. Becky is warm, friendly, and instantly puts you at ease, while remaining completely professional throughout."
"I was so delighted to be introduced to Becky Bates! She did the most amazing shoot for my re-branding. She immediately put me at ease and guided me gently so everything felt natural rather than posed. I was really impressed with how my images turned out — I'm so grateful and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for authentic, high-quality photography."
