Great to meet Janna & Stephen for their pre-wedding picture. They brought along their sons Thomas & Jack so we could meet them also ahead of their wedding  which will be at Down Hall in afew weeks time. 

The picture is a great reminder that portraits do not have to be in a bland studio against a white wall! Children always seem better outdoors.

Some days we reflect on the importance of what we do and how important a simple portrait can be and what happy memories it can generate.

It was a great honour to find so many of our pictures selected for the new Crabbs Barn brochure.

Crabbs Barn is a lovley friendly venue to work at and located very close to the A12 at Kelvedon, Essex.

We have had the opportunity of meeting Beccs and Pete at Pete’s sister’s Wedding a few years ago, as well as for portrait photographs and Engagement pictures in the meantime.  It was a busy but fun morning when David and I arrived at Crest Lodge, Spain’s Hall, Finchingfield, Essex, especially as there were eight Bridesmaids as well as the Bride getting ready!  It was lovely to see Katie and Elisha again as we had previously photographed their Weddings. Everybody was ready on time enabling us to take some lovely pictures before setting off for the Church.  St. Andrew’s Church, Barnston, was the Church that Bex and Pete wanted to be married in.  Bex and Pete were keen to do some pictures after the Church service in the Cornfield opposite the Church, which we did ,and achieved some lovely shots on a beautiful afternoon.  On our return to Spains Hall the Guests enjoyed drinks in the Gardens.  We photographed the Bride and Groom  for a short time, whilst the Guests were being seated for the Wedding Breakfast.  Later Bex and Pete wanted some evening pictures around Spains Hall and this resulted in some sunset pictures.  A lovely end to the day.

It was a great to be asked to again photograph the Valley Green FC presentations for the 2009- 2010 season.

Having found that the Fun Day and presentations were raising funds for Little Havens Children’s Hospice we chose to donate 100% of our fee and costs.
