Farlie Photography

Specialist family and wedding photographer based in Colchester, Essex and serving all of the UK. I'm Charlie Alexander and I take photographs.

I take photographs because I think photographs are important. Photographs will tell our story to our grandchildren if only we think to take them. I also really enjoy working with people. I love being a part of the special times in their lives. And my sole focus with Farlie Photography is to transfer the beautiful times of your life into beautiful photographs that you will love. I like light, the c

What’s my favourite kind of shoot? There’s no favourite genre or client for me. What is my favourite is a shoot where I feel transported in to someone’s world. That can be a really individual wedding that really feels like the couple, an extended family shoot that’s got great banter and I feel part of the crew for an hour, a company with it’s own special vibe going on… I can’t explain it but it’s something about being offered an experience of something or someone(s) to shoot that feels truly authentic to what they are about and I enter their wonderful bubble for a time.

My morning with felt like that. I arrived via a tiny Suffolk country road, that wound up and up to Louisa’s utterly charming home and gardens. We wondered the gardens for with her daughter capturing as we went. It was a beautiful summers day and Louisa spoke about land and space and named plants for me. What a gorgeous spend of a morning and if I was ever in the market to employ someone to create outside space I would want it to be Louisa so I could feel like it felt to be in her space everyday! What a dream!

Thank you for having me Louisa 🥰🌿

New baby days ❤️

Let’s talk about how you can hang on to them forever… 📸

Bringing a new baby home can be such a special time. It’s a milestone moment that goes by in a blink. Precious times like these deserve capturing to treasure forever BUT… When big times like these are happening I get that the emotions run so high and life can feel too chaotic to consider yet ANOTHER thing to contend with like… booking a photographer, getting out the house and battling 101 other logistical nightmares at a time like this! 🤯 But it doesn’t have to be like that. Shoots with me are calm, relaxed and from the comfort of your own home. I couldn’t count how many times I’ve done this now so I promise you whatever baby has to throw at us come shoot time I will be fully equipped to comfort them through a baby led approach to the session that will relax everyone involved. Get in touch for more details! I can’t wait to meet your new arrival(s)!

BABY REMI ❤️ Baby boy just 2 weeks old and already broke my heart to have his session come to an end… What a dream this one was! 🥹😍

If you want to know what newborn sessions with me are like have a read of my reviews in the highlight so it’s not just me telling you what a chilled experience this is. All baby led. Total peace. No pressure. Just a pause on the crazy time that newborn baby days are. A pause to celebrate, capture and breathe in the moment of what it is to welcome a brand new human earthside. 🥰❤️🌍

For more details check out my link below or send me a DM! I can’t wait to hear from you!

First 2024 wedding in the bag. Re-remembering all the reasons I love this job and this industry. The people, the randomness, the creativity, the joy, the buzz… And of course THE LOVE! So beautiful and also privileged to get a front row seat to so much of it and see all the gorgeous ways people celebrate and express their love. Congratulations and thank you Ellie-Mae and Sean! You were wonderful!

POV: You hire me as your wedding photographer but you end up getting a wedding photographer AND a pre wedding calm zone maker, lip gloss passer, stray hair smoother, dress floofer, bra strap tucker-inner, bouquet relocation assistant, dirty joke teller (for the stressed moments), cake cutting instructor, dance floor hype girl and much much more (like roof climbing partner here).

More than banging wedding portraits I pride myself in the ability to add to your day in a hundred tiny little positive ways. Photography is a love of mine but people are my real passion and getting the opportunity to bring a little something to peoples BIG moments is such an honour I cherish. So if you are interested in me as your wedding photographer get in touch! Or why not come and meet me on Sunday 11tb February at show OR February 26th at show! I can’t wait to hear about your big day!

Shout out to my sometimes partner in crime .photos for catching these BTS moments!

This is your reminder to have FUN on your wedding day! I tell couples all the time my best bit of wedding planning advice is for them to HAVE the day they want their guests to have! If you want your guests to have a laugh… Then have a LAUGH! If you want your guests to feel the love and romance… Then YOU be all lovey dovey and romantic! Your guests will take their queues from you so BE what you want your wedding to feel like! Yes you have to plan a wedding and organise all the things but really, on the day your job is to LIVE it! So if rocking up on your very loud motorbike in to a stately country garden is the vibe you want YOU DO IT! 🔥👏❤️
