Wedding at Layer Marney Tower 21 June 2008

Sara & Simon were married at Layer Marney Tower, located in the Essex countryside. We have some lovely relaxed and fun photographs of them enjoying their day.

We worked as a team with Richard Palmer as Toastmaster & Pauline from Bouquet Garnet Catering to assure the day ran smoothly and on time.

Wedding Photography at Creeksea Place

Creeksea Place is another venue we have been asked about, so we have uploaded the album from our last visit here.

Wedding Photography at Braxted Park

A potential client asked recently if we had photographed any weddings at Braxted Park in Essex as there was not a sample on the website. Problem solved Braxted Park album here! More venues coming soon.

Babies

As well as weddings we do photograph a number of babies. Young Ferdi shown here, had been photographed by another photographer and his parents were almost at the point of not using a professional again! Thankfully they found us and we have a grateful new client!

Regional Print Awards

David was awarded three Certificates of Excellence for wedding photography from the Brentwood Group of the MPA & BIPP this week. The competition was open to photographers from London, Essex and the South East of England.

Wedding in Colchester, 14th June 2008, Wendy & Wayne

Wendy & Wayne had a stylish and fun wedding. Wendy arrived at Colchester Town Hall in a red London bus. The wedding ceremony took place in the council chamber which provided a fantastic setting for the ceremony photographs. The whole wedding party was then transported in the bus to Castle Park for some family groups and a few shots of the happy couple. Despite there being hundreds of people in the Park we have managed to make it look as if they had the park almost to themselves! The next stop for the bus was at the Abbey Gate to drop off the guests for a reception at the Officers Club.

Wedding at Crabbs Barn 7th June 2008

Despite heavy rain Laura & Ed kept up happy smiling faces all day during their wedding at St John's Church, Layer-de-la-Haye and reception at Crabbs Barn, Kelvedon. We made use of the covered areas for the family groups, while the rain was coming to an end. Although the ground was wet Laura wanted to brave some outdoor shots and we were happy to oblige.

Photography at Stockbrook Manor

The unfortunate tale of Nicola & Ian who booked a part-time ‘professional’ photographer to take their wedding pictures in February this year. The ‘photographer’ had a good digital SLR and a great DVD presentation (possibly shot at a training day with models?) but he had regrettably, no clue about real life wedding photography. Thankfully the couple managed to get their money back and were advised to contact a member of the BIPP about re-staging some more pictures. When we last spoke to Nicola she was excitedly going through the pictures that we have just provided.

To para-phrase John Ruskin ‘sometimes you can pay too much but by not paying enough, you risk losing everything’.

The only organisations that represent full time professional photographers who are qualified and properly insured are the BIPP & MPA

Wedding at Polstead, Suffolk. Sophie & Alex

Sophie & Alex created themselves a wonderfully relaxed wedding at Polstead Church and a marquee in the grounds of Polstead Hall. The Suffolk sunshine put the final touch on the day.
