We have been busily updating (still not finished!) both our Wedding Venues and Testimonal pages, they are worth a look!

We were extremely delighted and priviledged to be asked to photograph Felicity and Jason’s Wedding at Leez Priory, especially as they both work for different Wedding venues and come across many different suppliers.   We could not have asked for a better day, mild, dry, with a few sunny spells, making our job easier.  Our day started early at Leez Priory, where Fi,her family and Bridesmaids were getting ready, so after a few pictures we left to go to St. Mary’s Church, Bocking, for the Church service.  After the Wedding Ceremony, a couple of family photographs were taken outside the Church, before departing to Leez Priory.  Guests enjoyed a Drinks Reception, whilst we took Fi and Jay for a short stroll around the superb grounds of Leez Priory for pictures of the two of them.  Not to be missed was a couple of lovely pictures just as the sun was setting.  Following the Weddding Breakfast, Fi and Jay were joined by their Evening Guests and the evening entertainment took place in the Coach House.  As  a surprise for everybody Fi had arranged fireworks for later in the evening, which ended a very special day.

It was a bright crisp winter’s day when we arrived at Westwood Park, Colchester, for Julie and Paul’s Wedding.  Paul, his Best Man and Ushers stepped outside to have a few photographs taken, before seeing the Registrars and Julie arriving.  After taking a few pictures of Julie and her Bridesmaids, it was time for the Civil Ceremony.  This was held in the lovely Old Library and was followed by a photograph of everybody in front of Westwood Park.  With the minimum of fuss we did a few requested photographs of close family and the Bridal party outside as well, then left the Guests to enjoy the Drinks Reception in the warmth of the House.  Julie and Paul wanted a few pictures in the grounds of Westwood Park and so for a few minutes (it was rather cold!), we went for a short walk with the two of them, capturing some lovely images in the late afternoon sunshine .  Later, we returned to the Old Library with Julie and Paul for a few more pictures, before finishing our coverage. We were delighted to have been asked to photograph this Wedding, as Julie is a Professional Photographer herself!  

David and I are looking forward to attending the Wedding Fair at Charter Hall, Colchester, this Sunday.   This Wedding Fair is one of the busiest and popular Fairs in the calendar, so is should be a good day for both exhibitors and couples.

We overlooked publishing this Wedding so we are making amends now.

It was an extremely hot day when Nina-Marie and Trevor got married in the beautiful Church of Sacred Heart of Jesus & St Josesph in Ware, Hertfordshire, in October 2011.  Our day started at Nina-Marie’s house for the final bridal preparations before leaving to go the Church.  After the service we  took a few pictures outside the Church before leaving to go to Parklands.  Everybody enjoyed relaxing and socialising in the superb grounds of Parklands during the Drinks reception, making for some lovely images. Following some family photographs we took Nina-Marie and Trevor for a short walk around Parklands for a few pictures of the two of them.  After covering the Speeches and taking some evening and First Dance pictures, we left everybody to enjoy the late evening celebrations.

Thank you to all Bride and Grooms who visited our Stands at the above yesterday.  Sorry we could not be there all day, we were photographing a Wedding.

It is always a pleasure to receive a ‘Thank You’ and we were overjoyed to receive this from Claire and Tim, who were married at The Fennes Estate in April 2011:-

Dear David and Sandra

We just wanted to say a huge thank you to you both for all your help in producing a stunning wedding album.  I am so happy with how it turned out, you have captured our big day perfectly – I could not fault a single thing, (and I am very renowned for being ‘fussy!!)

I will never tire of showing our album off to family and friends and I will treasure it forever.

Throughout the whole process you were very patient with me and made everything very easy, the draft album plan was particularly helpful and clever.

On the day itself you managed to capture so many amazing shots, without Tim and I, or our guests, having to spend very long at all posing for photographs, which was perfect.

Thank you!

Love Claire ( & Tim)

Here is a plan of their album:-

Lucy and Nathan were married at Prested Hall, Feering, on a chilly but dry day in December.  Lucy’s final preparations were calmly taking place upstairs in Prested Hall, as Guests started to arrive for the Wedding.  Nathan, his Best Man and Ushers greeted the Guests before we took them for a few photographs around Prested Hall. After capturing a few pictures of Lucy, she entered the Oak Room for the Wedding Ceremony.  Lucy and Nathan were congratulated by their Guests during the Drinks Reception as we took some informal pictures.  Preparing everybody for the Group Photograph outside, resulted in a lovely picture taken before people got cold.  A few family pictures were taken inside but Lucy and Nathan braved the cold for some beautiful pictures outside in the Gazebo and on the bridge.  It was well worth it!

Our first Wedding Fayre that we will be attending this year is at Smeetham Hall Barn, Bulmer, Sudbury, this Sunday from 11am-4pm.  We look forward to meeting lots of Brides and Grooms discussing their Wedding plans.

We were delighted to be asked to photograph the Wedding of Gemma and Marc, albeit with added pressure as Gemma’s Uncle is an excellent Professional Photographer as well as being a very good friend of ours!  Gemma and Marc chose the beautiful Gosfield Hall for their Civil Ceremony and Reception.   Gemma’s getting ready pictures were taken in the lovely Rococco Suite whilst Marc’s pictures were taken outside.  Following the Ceremony we all made our way outside so we could take advantage of the wonderful weather.  Gemma and Marc were able to mingle with their Guests in between us arranging the requested family group pictures.  Just before the Wedding Breakfast we took the Bridal Party for some pictures which were relaxed and fun.  Keeping an eye on the sunset during the Wedding Breakfast proved to be worthwhile when we gave Gemma and Marc the nod they very quickly went outside.  Superb results!  First Dance and evening pictures, then later on fireworks made a memorable day.
