In April, we came together to support our local community in a meaningful way. As a group, we donated 30.5 kg of food to Harlow Food Bank, helping provide essential support to families in need. Thanks to this collective effort, we contributed to the creation of 73 meals for local families.

With the bluebells blooming beautifully for only a short time each year, we decided to organise a last-minute meet-up so our members could make the most of this stunning spring display. Thankfully, a lovely group of photographers joined us, cameras in hand, ready to capture the magic of the woodland floor covered in vibrant bluebells.

Spring finally arrived in full colour at our April We Are Photo meet-up, as photographers from across Essex and Hertfordshire came together for an unforgettable day at the stunning tulip festival at Hatters Farm. With endless rows of vibrant blooms, golden sunshine, and a brilliant community atmosphere, this was one of our most inspiring photography meet-ups yet.

At the end of March, a group of our members came together for a unique reptile photography experience, offering an unforgettable opportunity to get up close with incredible animals while developing new skills behind the lens.

March was a special one for the We Are Photo community. As the days get longer and nature starts to wake up, we gathered at Fishers Green for a relaxed, inspiring photography meet-up focused on bird photography, connection, and creative growth.

At We Are Photo, our mission is simple: bring the fun back into photography while creating a supportive space for creativity and growth. Since launching in December 2022, our photography community has continued to grow, bringing together photographers of all skill levels through free photography meet-ups across Essex and Hertfordshire.

On 8th February, the We Are Photo community came together for a truly special photography experience — a Valentine’s themed engagement shoot workshop in Essex designed to inspire photographers of all levels.

Our January photography meet-up in Chelmsford, Essex (UK) took place at Central Park, and despite the spitting rain, an amazing group of photographers showed up ready to create, connect, and have fun. The weather didn’t dampen spirits—in fact, it added atmosphere and character to the images captured on the day.

Let’s end 2025 with a bang! 🎉 Whether you’re a beginner photographer or a pro, come and celebrate another year of creativity, connection, and community at our BIGGEST event yet!

Our latest We Are Photo meet-up at Pishiobury Park in Sawbridgeworth was nothing short of magical. With the sun shining brightly, it was the perfect day for a photography adventure in the heart of nature. The park, with its rolling green fields and serene landscapes, offered a picturesque backdrop that had photographers of all levels excited to capture the beauty around them.

June 2023 brought a beautiful burst of summer to our We Are Photo meet-up, with a fantastic photo walk at Thorndon Country Park in Essex. Despite the sweltering heat, the energy among the group was electric as we came together for an unforgettable photography experience!

This past weekend, We Are Photo took a scenic stroll through Birchanger Woods in Hertfordshire to capture the beauty of bluebell season. The woods were in full bloom, with carpets of delicate blue flowers transforming the forest floor into a magical sight. It was the perfect opportunity for our members to connect with nature, share photography tips, and, of course, snap some stunning shots.

This weekend, the We Are Photo group had an unforgettable photography meet-up at Hylands Park in Chelmsford. As always, the event was a wonderful mix of creativity, fun, and community, and this time, we had some very special "models" joining us: a big group of golden retrievers! Their playful antics and golden coats made for the perfect photography challenge.

Who would have thought an idea would turn into something so magical and be so life changing. In 2022 I had this idea to meet up with other photographers to inspire each other to take more photos.
