    “All the photos you took were beautiful so it made choosing the final 70 VERY hard! ”

    “Everyone commented on how fantastic you both were at the wedding, it really felt as if you were guests at our wedding rather than paid to be there!  The photos are just what we wanted, a mix of the more traditional posed shots and random relaxed ones that really capture the atmosphere, there were many tears shed when I took the DVD to school!”

    We photographed Hale & Giles’s Wedding at The Room at the Rodings a few years ago.  It was a pleasure to meet them again at the occasion of their son, Adam’s 1st Birthday.

  • Wedding Photography for Lynne-Marie & Ian at the Old Rectory

    Lynne-Marie and Ian were married at The Old Rectory, Dunton, Essex, on a lovely summer’s day.  Lynne- Marie was so relaxed and organised and it was lovely to meet Vanessa again, whilst she did her usual excellent job. Lynne-Marie and Ian chose to be married in the gardens of the Old Rectory, followed by a release of Doves.  After the Ceremony and during the drinks Reception the Guests were entertained by Charles Burns, whilst we took some informal pictures as well as requested formal group pictures.  Following the Wedding Breakfast, which was excellent,  we created some beautiful pictures of Lynne-Marie and Ian using the softer early evening light. Flowers on the day were supplied by Sian who did a great job.

  • Brad & April

    Whilst having a break during our recent coverage of Victoria and Alan’s Wedding we met a lovely couple called Brad & April from Atlanta, America.  They were in England for a few days holiday for their 10th Wedding Anniversary.  It was a pleasure to meet them and we look forward to seeing them in the future.

  • Wedding Photography for Victoria & Alan at The Ritz Hotel, London

    Wow!  What a day!  Our first Wedding at The Ritz Hotel, London!  After deciding to let the train take the strain to London, we arrived at The Ritz earlier than intended.  Although we had previously visited The Ritz Hotel, it was another opportunity to familarise ourselves with our surroundings.  Whilst I stayed with Victoria and the girls photographing final preparations, David joined Alan and the men for theirs.  After a lovely Civil Ceremony we quickly took the everybody shot on the stairway before the Guests moved off for the drinks Reception.  Following a few family group shots taken within The Ritz, we took Victoria and Alan into Green Park for their pictures.  What a lovely time we had in the warm sunshine and we produced some really nice images.  After the Wedding Breakfast we took the opportunity to finish our photography by taking pictures at night outside The Ritz Hotel.  A truly exceptional day!

  • A Testimonial for Wedding Photography at The Ritz, London

    OMG!!! What can we say – we absolutely LOVE the photo’s!! We watched them when we came home (from honeymoon) at 1am this morning with my mum, dad, nan and grandad and we are all blown away!
    You have both captured our day perfectly and we cannot believe how it tells a complete story of the day – it is truly amazing. We are lost for words and of course now have the terrible task of having to choose them.
    Also we were thinking of putting all our photo’s on the jpeg for guests to see, except the ones of us getting ready etc – Alan  is a little uncomfortable of our guests seeing him in his pants, then there is me and my rollers and of course my dad is worried about his belly (lol..) Shall we let you know tonight where to start from?
    we love the photo’s so much and are so happy we found you both (this feeling is echoed by my family and only 4 people have seen them so far!!)
    Thanks and see you soon

  • Wedding Photography for Sarah & Nicholas at Le Talbooth

    Our second visit in a few weeks was to St Michael’s and All Saints Church, Copford, Essex, for the Wedding of Sarah and Woody.  After a few traditional family groups taken outside the Church, we left to go to the Reception at Le Talbooth, Dedham Essex.  As the Guests enjoyed socialising in the warm sunshine, we were able to capture the informal pictures of the day.  After the Wedding Breakfast and photographing the Speeches, we took a few more relaxed pictures of Sarah and Woody by the River Stour.  Shortly after the First Dance we left them to enjoy the party!Essex Wedding photographer

  • Wedding Photography for Natsuko & Paul at Gosfield Hall

    Natsuko and Paul were married at the magnificent Gosfield Hall, near Braintree, Essex.  Unfortunately it was a showery day but no way did it dampen a wonderful day!  Natti left plenty of time to get ready and we had a lovely time taking her pictures in the Rococo Suite.  Dodging the showers Paul’s pictures were taken outside and we took the family groups during the Drinks Reception, when breaks in the weather allowed. We have to say that Joanna, the co-ordinator, and the staff of Gosfield Hall were very flexible during the day and evening as plans were changed several times due to the variable weather. Having been provided with meal, we are delighted to say the food at Gosfield Hall is excellent! Our day ended with some lovely photographs of Natti and Paul around the grounds of Gosfield Hall making use of a Japanese parasol which Nattie’s father had provided.
