About

On Hitched.co.uk since 2024

Last update: October 2024

A* Photography is a couple-owned wedding photography business in Essex. Star and Anton aim to treat every wedding as the most important job of their careers. They put their whole hearts into their business and make sure couples feel comfortable and enjoy their day, not just their photos.

Services Offered

The A* Photography photo galleries are delivered to couples often within three weeks of the wedding reception ending because Star loves the idea of newlyweds returning from their honeymoon with their photos waiting. On the day, Star and Anton like to think of themselves as incredibly relatable wedding photographers. As a couple, they truly understand when people say they don't like being in front of the camera. They hope their authenticity and relatability help them stand out. A* Photography is professional but also very genuine. The friendly duo will laugh and joke with guests, dance on the dance floor, and remain by the happy couple throughout the day as the honorary wedding party, helping where they can.

Incredible. So glad we booked!

I don’t even know where to start!!
Wow wow wow. Firstly, our photos are literally incredible & I can’t explain how happy we are with them!!

Star & Anton are THE photographers everyone needs at their wedding. From the initial meeting enquiring about our date, they were amazing. Made us feel at ease & we knew straight away they were going to be the ones we wanted to book!! Thankfully, they were available & we booked them straight away!!

Before the wedding, Star went through everything for the big day and even gave up tips which really helped!! Star was so helpful with letting me know what I needed to think about for our photos - including things I hadn’t even thought about!

On the day, we couldn’t have asked for better people. Star was like an extra bridesmaid for me and both of them had us in fits of laughter all day. Having our photos taken was one of our favourite parts of the day as we had SO MUCH FUN! We giggled our way through the day with them both which made the photos really easy to do. They directed us into positions to get the perfect pictures but it also felt like they weren’t there when getting candid shots like we had asked for. Everyone commented on how amazing they were on the day and I’ve had so many messages about how beautiful our pictures are since receiving them.

We were shown sneak peaks throughout our wedding breakfast which was amazing! We woke up the next day and within a few hours had more sneak previews!

Fast forward 2 weeks, and we have our full gallery back!! 3 weeks and we have our USB of our full gallery!!! Their work ethic is out of this world. We are so so so pleased we had them at our wedding!!

Your photos are everything at your wedding and I’m so glad we have the most amazing ones but also the memory of how great they were on the day getting our special memories of a lifetime.

Star & Anton.. thank you so so much! You were a pleasure to have at the wedding & you are incredible.

If you're needing a photographer, look no further. Book these 2 ASAP!

Couldn’t have chosen better photographers!

Star and Anton went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was the absolute best it could have been and it didn’t feel like a photoshoot at any point. We actually forgot the cameras were there most of the day! Incredible photos as you can see! Don’t think twice just book them because they will not let you down!!

The best around - highly recommend!!

We couldn’t recommend Star and Anton enough. When we first met Star to discuss our thoughts on the day we knew we would get along. She listened to our ideas and shared some of her own and it was obvious she was a detail person whilst making sure everything was chilled and natural.
On the day they slotted in easily, it was so easy to work with them and it was so much fun. They captured our day beautifully, the captured so many incredible moments and we will be forever grateful for them for the hard work they put into our day.

Amazing team, beautiful photos!

I am so glad we chose this amazingly talented team for our wedding day. We have only received a taster of the photos, but we are already so happy with them.
Not only that, but Star and Anton were such good company throughout the day, lovely to all our guests and respectful, they also were very receptive to our requirements and flexible when we requested a few more group photos.
I happily recommend them to everyone! Thank you Star and Anton!
Best regards, Liam and Jo

Kat and Chris

We had Star and Anton for our big day July 24. They captured the whole day from bridal prep to fun times at the reception. They were non intrusive so much so that you didn’t really know they were there apart from the traditional professional photos.
They truly captured the essence of the day and all the fun and laughter we all had - to quote a friend of mine ‘ your photos make me feel like I was there’

Amazing team!

The A Star Photography and Film team are so wonderful to work with. They slotted right in on the day, were flexible and so friendly, and they gave us the most amazing gallery/films. I’m very grateful they were apart of our wedding and would highly recommend them to any other bride!

The BEST wedding photographers…

Star & Anton were amazing from booking them all the way through to our wedding. They were super easy to book with and so helpful leading up to our wedding - we even had a shared Instagram album where I saved inspo photos which they executed pretty much all of them for us! As well as being genuinely lovely people, they were very professional and talented. Our wedding album turned out way better than we anticipated and we cannot believe the moments they captured. We would recommend them to anyone!

Absolutely amazing

Star and Anton were amazing from start to finish. They knew exactly what we were looking for and understood the assignment.

Our photos are phenomenal, and our guests were equally as amazed with the photos. They captured everything and really saw photo opportunities as they arose throughout the day.

Would recommend a million times over & if you decide to book them, you won’t regret it
