  • A second Accolade of Excellence

    Just heard great news from WPPI that I received a second Accolade of Excellence in the International Print Awards at the Las Vegas Convention 2011. I guess I/they must have missed it in the display.  Picture is of Esther & Tim who were married at The Free Church, Frinton-on-Sea, Essex, picture is on Frinton Beach.Fun wedding photos Essex

  • Wedding Photography for Sian & Jason at Crondon Park, Billericay

    We were recommended to Sian and Jason as Photographers by Jason’s brother Andy, whose Wedding we photographed six years ago.  Following a few pictures at their home in Chafford Hundred we photographed the Wedding Ceremony at St Joseph’s Church, Upminster and then onto the Reception at Crondon Park, Billericay.  St Joseph’s Church is a lovely light Church which helps our photographs.  The steps outside the Church were excellent in helping to arrange the family groups quickly.  On  arrival at Crondon Park, Sian and Jason wanted some Bride and Groom portraits, which were improved by a lovely day.  After socialising with their Guests, Sian and Jason wanted some fun pictures with the Bridal Party, which we were more than happy to oblige and captured some lovely expressions.  David and I left the happy couple after the First Dance.

  • Watermarks on Wedding Photographs

    A great question from one of our prospective clients “Do we watermark the images on the disc?”.

    Answer –  When we include a disc of images with your album they will be unmarked files for your archive.  Pictures will be the files as used at proof stage which in general they are ready to go!  We do put our logo and the reference number on the pictures we give out as a DVD proof show and for our online galleries.

  • Family Portraits

    It was a great pleasure to meet Sarah and Dan and their family to create some fun and relaxed portraits.  It is almost six years since we photographed Sarah and Dan’s Wedding at Leez Priory.  We have great satisfaction when past clients ask us to work for them again in the future.  As the weather was too windy, we did some pictures inside instead of going to the beach as we planned, hopefully later in the year we can do that.

  • End of the road

    Well WPPI Vegas trip comes to an end today  and I must confess I have met some great photographers from all over the world; Dennis Orchard and Peter Ellis from home have been great company; Jim Garner put on an excellent Plus Class; Yervant, Jennifer Maring, Ryan Schembri and the other judges provided great information during print judging; Rene and his beautiful wife and Diana from Estonia; a whole list photographers from the US, Warren McCormac, Richard Thel, Robert O’Neil, Justin Demutiis (great business card!), Misty Enright, Jason Barrett, Kristi Odom, Gigi; numerous Australians, Alfredo from Puerto Rico……….just so many nice people and I have undoubtedly missed a few!!

    Now for the long trip home to Essex!

  • Wedding Photography for Alexandra & Joseph

    For Alexandra and Joseph’s Wedding we travelled to Whittlebury Hall Hotel, Northamptonshire, which is adjacent to Silverstone Racing Circuit.  The Church at Paulerspury made a lovely setting for the Wedding Ceremony.  Unfortunately, due to the weather conditions, photographs were limited to reportage pictures entering and leaving the Church.  Whittlebury Hall Hotel was chosen by Alexandra and Joseph as it could admirably cope with their 275 Guests!  It was fantastic to see so many ladies with fabulous hats as it was for Cherise’s Wedding which we photographed  just over a year ago.  We took some lovely pictures of Alexandra and Joseph with some of our favourites being the candid photographs taken throughout the evening.Essex photographers
