It was a warm day when we arrived to photograph Lucy’s getting ready pictures.  After taking a few pictures inside the house, and when Lucy and her Bridesmaids were all ready, we took some more photographs in the garden, having then to go back inside due to being dazzled by the sunshine!  Lucy & Ian were married at St Peter’s Church, Great Totham, with their Reception held at Prested Hall, Feering.  Lucy, Ian and their Guests enjoyed a relaxing time in the grounds of Prested Hall allowing David & I to take some informal pictures.  A mention goes to The Florist on the Green at Great Totham for the lovely flowers.

Well what can we say – after us writting what a great Caricaturist  Steve Hearn is, he has written such nice things about us on his blog we really have to link to it!!

Oh yes, Steve is also a really nice guy too!!

In between photographing Weddings in this extremely busy year, David and I have been out and about at various locations with our Brides and Grooms for their Engagement portraits. We really enjoy this and enables us to get to know the couple well, before the big day. We will be posting a selection of these in the next few days.   Essex provides us with numerous locations for these pictures such as Danbury Lakes/Common, Hylands House, Highwoods Country Park, Wivenhoe Quay and many others.  Studio Engagement portraits have been taken place as well and we will show some of these also.

It was lovely to spend time with Amy and Lee and their new baby daughter when they visited us recently.  David and I were their Wedding photographers when they were married a couple of years ago at Parklands, Quendon Hall.   Ava is beautiful and we had a lovely time taking pictures of her and she co-operated very well!  Thank you Ava!

Thank you to everyone who attended Prested Hall on Sunday for making it such an enjoyable day.  An added thank you to the couples who booked us on the day and the ones that made appointments to come and see us to discuss their wedding plans further.

During one of our recent weddings one of the venue staff members commented to us “How nice to see photographers properly dressed for a wedding and not scruffy or wearing jeans” !! There is obviously a new breed of photographers with no respect for their clients and their day, undoubtedly claiming that being smart stiffles their creativity or some such nonsense!  We wear suits to weddings and try to be part of the day.

David and I are looking forward to attending and displaying our Wedding Photography at Prested Hall, Feering on Sunday.  We have just taken delivery of two new sample albums, one of Layer Marney Tower, which is a Storybook, and the other of Down Hall, Hatfield Heath, Hertfordshire, which is a classic Queensberry.  We are absolutely delighted with these and we will be showing these as well as other albums on Sunday.  We are looking  forward to meeting prospective new wedding clients as well as existing ones at this popular venue.

 As we were only having a small wedding, it was really important to us to have a relaxed feel and you both made us feel so at ease. You really fitted in with our day and worked really hard to ensure that we had a complete range of pictures showing all the different stages of the day.

 We have been really impressed with your services throughout and all our friends and family have commented on the quality of our pictures and the package – from the proof book through to the DVD through to the album itself.

 We would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone else.

 Thanks so much,

 Sarah and Kristian
