  • Essex Chronicle 'I Do' magazine

    Nice to see The Fennes, Bocking Essex, are using one of our Award winning (see Feb blog) pictures in their feature for this month’s ‘I Do’ wedding magazine. Unfortunately it has been printed in reverse in the feature – but it still looks a nice picture.

  • Training course for Sandra

    Sandra went for a training day at Fanhams Hall, Ware, Hertfordshire. She was expanding her learning from one of the all time masters, Ray Lowe FBIPP. For more pictures visit our portfolio page for Fanhams Hall.

  • Fanhams Hall, Ware, Hertfordshire

    Whilst Sandra was on a training day, I took the oportunity to check out Fanhams Hall, Ware, Hertfordshire, for where we have had wedding enquiries. Wow, what a photographer’s dream!! REALLY looking forward to working at this venue.

  • Children's Portraits

    Children are so much more relaxed in their own environment, Jack & William were no exception. Their parents Katie & Nigel know us from their wedding at Fennes in 2001 and a family portrait in between.

     

  • Another interesting portrait

    Young children are always fun to work with. Todays challenge was a Nan with her two Grandsons. Another job which would have been much more difficult without Sandra’s experience with children.

  • Former Bride & Groom and their baby

    Always a delight to see our past clients moving on in family life. We visited the home of Jenny & Stuart (who were married at Five Lakes a couple of years ago) to photograph their daughter Lois, who has made some great pictures for her parents and Grandparents!

  • Why book an established photographer?

    In these days of businesses disapearing as fast as they arrive, with a variety of vague trading names, mobile phone numbers, e-mail but no real address details provided, would you not feel more comfortable using an established experienced photographer? Yes it will probably cost you more than an unquelified ‘newbie’ but will they be here in 5 or ten years time – will they be here when your wedding date finally arrives!

    As a professional service we have an archive of our work back to 1981. We have just located negatives (remember the old days?) for a wedding at Smeetham Hall Barn for a client from 2001 who wanted some prints.

  • Wedding Photography at Otley Hall for Louise & Graham

    Saturday 28th March 2009 could hardly be described as a perfect day for wedding photography in Suffolk – cold, wind and rain! Working very fast we endevoured to make sure Louise, Graham and their wedding guests, kept as warm as possible and had an enjoyable day.  This was a day where our vast experience came in very useful for fast working and the beneit of booking us through for the First Dance was evident with some great atmospheric night time photographs.

    Otley Hall has some magnificent grounds and we look forward to working there again when hopefully we will be able to photograph in them!

    A big thank you to all Louise & Graham’s family and friends for co-operating and getting Louise & Graham the pictures they wanted.

  • Engagement Portrait for Hayley & James

    This week we met again with Hayley and James, whose wedding we are looking forward photographing in a few weeks time at Saint Bartholomews Church in Wickhan Bishops, Essex and then onto their Reception at Forrester Park Country Club.
