Sunday again took us to Crabbs Barn this time via St. Mary’s Church, Great Leighs. Nicola & Neil have helped make themselves some great photographs to help them remember their big day. The day had a real Summer feeling at last.

Gemma & Dan were married at Holy Family Church in Witham, followed by a Reception at Vaulty Manor. Gemma’s sister & Chief Bridesmaid Nicola, said “you made the photography so much fun for us. I have been to so many wedding where it was boring”. The day was helped along by Mervyn Rutter who is one of our favourite Toastmasters to work with. We hope Gemma & Dan have a great time on Honeymoon however, we are looking forward to their return so we can show them how good they and their families looked.

Emma & Chris had a great fun day at Crabbs Barn near Kelvedon (www.crabbsbarn.co.uk). The rain & thunder in the morning was some cause for concern but it all was finished in time for the wedding. Having T-Rex played for the First Dance was definitely something different which really suited the happy couple.

Our second visit this year to Leez Priory followed on from Julia and Tim’s wedding at St. Stevens, Great Wigborough, Essex. The weather was again a challenge with all four seasons in one day, but this worked well giving the happy couple time to relax with their guests in the beautiful rooms of Leez priory.

Sunday 27 April 2008 will be our last public Wedding photography display until the Autumn. We will be at the lovely Prested Hall in Feering, Essex. The Wedding Exhibition runs from 11.30am – 4.00pm. Come and visit us in the library for a quiet relaxed chat.

David & Sandra today attended the national conference of The English Toastmasters Association. David gave a talk about how Photographers and Toastmasters can work together to make a great day for Brides & Grooms. Other presentations included Linda Palmer on working with venues and a presentation by the Essex Registration Service. A very informative and educational day!

This was our first wedding to photograph at Spains Hall, Finchingfield, Essex. Sarah & Mark were unfortunate to pick such a cold day however we managed to find a place sheltered from the wind for the family pictures. The gardens and house of Spains hall have helped make some fabulous pictures that we look forward to showing Sarah & Mark when they return from their Honeymoon.

Layer Marney Tower in Essex is a stunning venue for a wedding, Lucy & Alistaire picked a day with fabulous weather to go with it. Our usual mixture of very informal reportage style pictures together with some traditional classic wedding shots will provide a varied selection for them to choose from.

On Friday we were again privileged to work at the lovely Gaynes Park, Epping, Essex for the wedding of Carly and Lee. We produced some great relaxed photographs for the happy couple and look forward to showing them upon their return. Their 10 Bridesmaids were fantastic fun.
