  • Pre-Wedding Pictures for Elena & James

    Pre-Wedding Pictures for Elena & James

    Pre-Wedding Pictures – Elena and James came to see us again in the Autumn last year so we could catch up on their plans for their Wedding Day. After a coffee and a chat we went for a walk locally just to take a few pictures of the two of them. The weather was good to us and we had a leisurely time re-aquainting ourselves with Elena and James and they ended up with some nice pictures. Elena and James are getting married in the summer at Fennes . Looks like they are going to make some great wedding pictures!

  • Fennes Photographer Recommendation

    Fennes Photographer Recommendation

    We received thisFennes Photographer Recommendation from Ness & Malcolm after their Renewal of vows at Fennes:-

    Hi David and Sandra,

    Happy New Year.

    “David and Sandra’s work is amazing. They captured our day perfectly. They were professional, understanding, gave advice on the type of photo’s and spent time with us. The pre-wedding shoot was a chance for us to get used to each other and really built up a relationship with us. When the big day arrived we both felt really comfortable as did our guests.

    Our vicar praised them as being non intrusive through the ceremony which meant that the important part of the ceremony was not dominated by a photographer. David and Sandra perfectly captured these moments without us knowing they were there.

    The service they gave us from beginning to end was excellent. David and Sandra captured our personalities, the mood of the day and produced the most amazing album to treasure and can not praise them enough. We would recommend them to any future bride and groom.”

    I know the above is long but I wanted to make sure we covered all aspects. Anne was really impressed with your work covering the ceremony, and said you were one of THE best photographers she has ever worked with.

    Everyone who has seen the album absolutely love it. Especially the way it is laid out and how you really did capture what the day was all about.

    We can not thank you enough for making our day so special.

    Kind regards

    Ness and Malcolm

    Louise and Gary asked us to take some New Born Baby Photography of their son Ellis.  It was lovely to see Louise and Gary again and meet Ellis for the first time. We were pleased to be asked to take memories of the family. Ellis was so good and we ended up with pictures of him on his own and together with Mummy and Daddy. We last photographed Louise & Gary at their Crabbs Barn wedding in 2016New Born Baby Photography Essex

  • Vows Renewal Ceremony Fennes

    Vows Renewal Ceremony Fennes

    We went to Fennes for a Vows Renewal Ceremony for Vanessa and Malcolm.  The Ceremony was at The Fennes Estate, Bocking. Vanessa and Malcolm were joined by their family and friends for this occasion. We arrived at Fennes where Ness was getting ready helped by her Bridesmaids, whilst Malcolm was getting ready in the Cottage.

    David went to see how the men were getting on whilst I stayed with Ness and the girls. Once Malcolm and his Groomsmen were ready they had a few pictures taken in front of the house.Fennes Recommended Wedding PhotographerIt was a lovely day and as the Guests arrived they socialised outside in the grounds and were joined by Malcolm and his Groomsmen. In the house final preparations were finished, it was nice to see Michelle of Bumblebee Bridal again, and we got on with taking some pictures of them all. With the Guests seated outside for the Ceremony, Ness came downstairs and met with Malcolm  before they went into the Gold Room and then outside. Fennes Wedding Photographer

    The Ceremony and Drinks Reception

    It was lovely that Malcolm’s Aunt carried out the Ceremony for Ness and Malcolm. Following the Ceremony, Ness and Malcolm spent with their Guests during the Drinks Reception.  During this period we also got on with taking the pictures that Ness and Malcolm requested, as well as taking some capture the moment pictures.

    The Wedding Breakfast and Evening

    After the confetti pictures everyone made their way into the Pavilion. There were a couple of Speeches before the Hog Roast then Ness and Malcolm cut the cakes. One of the cakes was the top tier of Ness and Malcolm’s original Wedding Cake and it was edible! There was some time available after that so we took Ness and Malcolm for  a short time away from their Guests to take some pictures together with a sunset picture.Wedding Photographer Fennes Returning a little time later dancing followed. A box of dressing up items proved a hit with lots of the Guests and we were there to capture the results! Happy with our coverage of Ness and Malcolm’s Wedding Day we then said our ‘goodbyes’. Ness and Malcolm had a wonderful day and we were delighted to be asked to be part of it. Thank you, Ness and Malcolm.

    Family Pictures

    It was lovely to see Victoria and Lee again in the Summer this time for Family Pictures. We had seen them in December last year to take some pictures of their son, Hudson. This time we met them also with family members for some pictures.  Victoria had purchased a Gift Voucher from us for her Mum’s Birthday and have some pictures taken when they were all together. The day chosen happened to be on one of the hottest days in the summer! When we arrived at Mum’s house the back garden was in sun so we used the grounds outside the house to start the pictures. During the afternoon we did move back into the garden for the remainder of the pictures.

    It was lovely afternoon and we ended up with a variety of pictures. It was nice to meet up again with the family. The last time we saw many of them was at Victoria and Lee’s Wedding at Crabbs Barn in June 2015. We are looking forward to seeing Victoria and Lee again soon.Family Pictures in Essex garden photographed by David Islip
