Farlie Photography

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 colour white, cloudy skyscapes and blankets. I love tiny newborn fingernails, natural laughs and confetti frozen in the air. Brick walls, seascapes and backlit wedding veils are my favourite. I am a Bachelor of Arts and have further qualifications in photography. I am based in Colchester and work all over Essex, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and London. I work almost exclusively with natural light at my own in-home studio and on location. Please take a look at my work and ask me anything! Thanks for visiting

Some commercial projects from over the summer; headshots, website content, project case studies, celebrations and milestone events events. Every day is an adventure here! 📸

That 80s trend… but don’t need AI when you’re an ‘84 vintage!

Lost half a day flicking through old photos once I got these out. Then my kids came home from school and were obsessed. AI’s fun (literally the most fun you can have engaging in data farming 🤭) but photos get our hearts every time. ❤️ So just your daily reminder to take the photos. AND print the photos. You’ll never sit around a screen and scroll together. But you will never get bored of sitting around a stack of prints or flicking through an album. 🙏

P.S. Thanks to my mum for always having a camera, making the albums and always jumping in the photos.

A U G U S T ☀️

Gorgeous weddings, Greece, summer actually SUMMERED in the UK, parties, people-ing and dancing my ass off Fat Boy Sliiiiiim. I’m now poor, overstimulated and ready for some “normality”… But summer I always hate to see you go! 😭

September is looking pretty fully booked with weddings and commercial projects, plus I fly out to photograph in Tucson, Arizona for 10 days! 🇺🇸 Hit me up for October though!

Baby beach days! Looking to capture your family but find yourself holding back? Worried it’ll be awkward and cringey and the ultimately a waste of money? Ok then let’s chat…

Ok let’s talk about WHY get your family photos done! Who’s it for and what’s really the point? These photos are your family’s legacy. They’re important touchstones for you and everyone to look back on and connect with who you are and where you all were in that snapshot moment in time. That’s not a reason to go copying trends and idolising seemingly “idyllic” family portraits online. For me, it’s a reason to get REAL. Come as you all are right now, be yourselves and share some moments together being who you all are authentically. Ditch the perfectionism and comparisons and remember family photos should be about being yourselves, coming together and capturing the real moment. Because that’s what you’ll want to remember. ❤️

How we do that? Well that’s easy, you just chat to me! 📸
