Hey!
Welcome to the humble abode of Le Beau Photography
I'm Jamie Le Beau, a wedding photographer based in Essex.
I’ve photographed everything from wild nightclub events to quiet newborn sessions, but it wasn’t until 2012 — when a close friend trusted me to capture their wedding — that I truly found where my heart belonged. That day wasn’t just about photos; it was about capturing emotion, joy, and memories that would live on for generations.
Wedding photography is more than a job to me — it’s a privilege. It’s storytelling through honest, candid moments and creative artistry. I don’t chase trends or over-stage anything. I simply aim to be in the right place at the right time, so you can relive your day exactly as it felt.
Because your story deserves to be honestly told.
I GET YOU
I’ve been in your shoes. Back in 2017, when my wife Michelle and I were planning our own wedding, we were on the hunt for a photographer who just got us. We’re a pretty laid-back pair and we knew we needed someone who would help us feel relaxed, not staged or awkward.
Thankfully, we found the right person. Our photographer made the entire experience — from the initial enquiry to the final delivery — feel effortless. They made us laugh, helped us relax (with a little help from the bar, of course), and captured moments we’ll treasure forever.
That experience stuck with me. Now, as a wedding photographer myself, I aim to give my couples that same feeling — a calm, easygoing presence, a seamless process, and photos that feel real, not forced. From the moment you book to the moment you open your final gallery, I want you to feel looked after, comfortable, and excited to relive your day through images that tell your story honestly.
