  • Pre-Wedding Picture session for Chloe & Joe

    Pre-Wedding Picture session for Chloe & Joe

    Chloe and Joe came to see us one morning recently for their Pre-Wedding picture session. We enjoy seeing our couples who have booked with us before their Wedding Day so that we can find out more about them and of course talk about their forthcoming Wedding. After a coffee and a chat we went to an area local to us for a few pictures.  This didn’t take very long,  and we ended up with some nice pictures. We are looking forward to Chloe and Joe’s Wedding at Hedingham Castle in the Summer.

    Home Family Portraits

    Rebecca got in touch with us a couple of months ago with regard to having some Home Family Portraits taken of her son, Ben,  together with her husband Steve and herself at their home.  Rebecca had been given one of our Gift Vouchers and now wanted to use it. Finding a convenient time and place to suit us all we went to Rebecca and Steve’s home one morning. We were able to take some pictures outside as well as inside providing Rebecca with a variety. Ben did very well but by the end he was ready for his sleep!

    Wedding Photography Fennes for Amanda & Nick

    The wonderful Fennes was the Wedding Venue chosen by Amanda an Nick for their relaxed mid afternoon Wedding. What a good choice it was! It was a nice day for their Wedding and the grounds around Fennes looked superb. Our first port of call when we arrived at Fennes was to go and see Amanda who was getting ready upstairs. Everything was running smoothly, fun and laughter was a-plenty during the preparations. Meanwhile Nick was getting ready in one of the Lodges so after capturing a few of those pictures David took a few pictures of Nick and his Groomsmen outside the House. Leaving Nick to greet the Guests in the sunshine David returned upstairs to where the girls were.  By this time the girls were dressed including the Flowergirl, Bethany. Amanda’s Father came into the room to see his daughter and then we got on with taking a few set shots.

    Fennes Recommended Wedding Photographer The Ceremony took place in the Pavilion with the junior Usher Callum saying a few words. Some nice moments. After the Ceremony everybody went outside to enjoy the Drinks Reception. The children amused themselves playing in the trees in the spring sunshine. A little later we got on with taking some requested family pictures, followed by some more relaxed pictures. Photography Fennes During the afternoon we took Amanda and Nick onto the Bridge for a few pictures and a walk through the trees.  The blossom was out and this made for some nice images. Amanda and Nick had some time to spend with their Guests before it was time to go through to the Pavilion for the Speeches and meal. The speeches went well, including a Speech from Amanda’s sister, Felicity, and from Amanda as well. Fennes Recommended Wedding PhotographerEveryone then enjoyed the Hog Roast. Later on there was time for a few evening pictures around Fennes finishing with a sunset and our ‘heart’ picture. Amanda and Nick cut their Wedding Cake when the Evening Guests arrived and then took to the dance floor for their First Dance.Wedding Photographer Fennes After taking some informal pictures during the evening, it was time for us to leave. A lovely Fennes Wedding! Thank you Amanda and Nick for asking us to photograph your Wedding Day, it flowed very nicely, we know you enjoyed it and we did too!

    Pre-Wedding Pictures Hylands Park for Nicola and Nick

    We met Nicola and Nick one morning a couple of months ago at Hylands Park, Chelmsford. First of all we went for a walk around the grounds taking a few pictures of them. Happy with the results we then went for a coffee and a chat to the teashop to discuss the details of their Wedding Day. This discussion works really well giving us a good idea of what is planned for the wedding day. Nicola and Nick are getting married this summer at Channels.

    Pre-Wedding Pictures London at  Skinners Hall. This was where we met Kristina and Stefan earlier in the year to talk about their Wedding plans. As this was their chosen Wedding Venue and we had not been to this stunning Venue before it was nice to meet up and see it before the Big Day. Stefan got in touch  with us last year to ask if we were able to photograph his Wedding in the Spring this year. We photographed Stefan’s Brother’s Wedding in 2012 at Braxted Park, so were delighted to be asked to photograph Stefan’s Wedding. During our visit to Skinners Hall, we were able to take a good look at the wonderful rooms and view the outside where they planned to have things going on. After discussing the timetable for their Wedding Day we took a few pictures of the two of them. We are looking forward to their Wedding immensely.

    Stacey and Sam came to see us one morning earlier in the Spring to go over the details of their Wedding Day and for their Engagement Photos session. After chatting over coffee, filling in the final details of their day, we then went out to take a few pictures. It was a dry day so using our local River Walk where the daffodils were in bloom we took a few pictures. Nice colours to work with and happy with our results.We are looking forward to Stacey and Sam’s Wedding at Layer Marney Tower soon.
