Essex's Leading Studio for Newborn Photography, Cake Smashes & Family Sessions.
WVE Studios is a busy, creative photography and video studio based in Wickford, Essex. We specialise in capturing modern, story-led imagery across family portraits, newborn photography, personal branding, and commercial content.
Founded in 2015, WVE Studios was built with one clear focus: creating meaningful visuals in a relaxed, professional environment. Our team combines technical expertise with a natural, people-first approach, allowing clients to feel comfortable, confident, and themselves in front of the camera.
Our purpose-built studio in Wickford has been designed specifically for photography and video. It features professional lighting, styled shooting areas, private viewing spaces, and a calm, welcoming atmosphere for families, creatives, and businesses alike. Every element of the studio has been carefully considered to enhance both the experience and the final result.
We are passionate about producing work that goes beyond standard imagery. From beautifully styled wall art and albums to high-quality prints and digital collections, we focus on creating images that are designed to be seen, shared, and enjoyed for years to come. Our no-pressure viewing approach means clients are free to choose what they love, without any hard sell.
With over a decade of experience and hundreds of weddings and portrait sessions photographed since launching, WVE Studios is fully insured and professionally equipped to deliver consistently high standards. Creativity sits at the heart of everything we do, and we are known for imagery that feels natural, contemporary, and genuinely personal.
