  • Wedding Photography for Nicole & Stephen at Gosfield Hall

    On arrival at Gosfield Hall, after saying ‘hello’ and a few words with Nicole and the girls in the Rococco Suite, David went off to find the men as they were getting ready in another suite.   I stayed with the girls as there was lots to capture before Nicole got dressed.  Meanwhile David was taking some pictures of Stephen and his Groomsmen in the Library once they were ready  as it was unfortunately raining.  We took some lovely pictures of Nicole, her Bridesmaids and Flowergirl Daisy, before it was time for the Civil Ceremony in the Queen’s Gallery.  After the Ceremony, Nicole and Stephen made their way downstairs to the Library for the Drinks Reception. essex-wedding-photographer-gosfield hall Later some family group pictures were taken in the Grand Salon.  Gosfield Hall provides wonderful opportunities inside for photographs and as we could not go outside we made full use of the rooms, staircases and corridors for pictures of Nicole and Stephen.wedding-photographer-essex-gosfield hall

  • Wedding Photography for Karla & Richard – Yaxley Hall, Suffolk

    Karla and Richard chose the Suffolk Wedding Venue, Yaxley Hall for their Autumn Wedding. Our day started early being in plenty of time to capture all the happenings of the day. Whilst the girls were getting ready upstairs in the Bridal Room, the boys were downstairs relaxing and having a few pictures taken.  Once the girls were dressed and their photographs taken, it was time for the Civil Ceremony.  wedding-photgrapher-suffolk-yaxley hall Karla, with her Uncle at her side, made her entrance into the Ceremony room to a song performed by the London Gospel Choir.  After the Ceremony, Karla and Richard exited the House to be covered in confetti before a few quick family shots and the Drinks reception.  With the lovely setting of Yaxley Hall and the late Autumn colours we managed to take the Bride and Groom portraits in a very short amount of time by staying close to the house.wedding-photographer-suffolk-yaxley hall Karla and Richard chose to celebrate their Wedding in the afternoon with  a small number of close family and friends and we were able to take some lovely photographs of these guests after the meal and during the Speeches.

  • Horsemeat found in wedding photography!

    The scandal continues now that authorities have discovered up to 100% Horsemeat in some wedding photography.  The culture of cheap deals has been blamed with large quantities of untested, unregulated snappers looking to make a quick buck and hoping that nobody will find out.

    A government spokesman said Horsemeat in wedding photography was only hazardous to the health of the snapper, the lack of a Bride’s happy memory of her big day was only an issue for Civil Courts.

    Miss Hacked Offbride, a spokesperson for Disgruntled Brides Association, said she was surprised to find that despite having good cameras some unqualified photographers were delivering 100% horsemeat!

    Qualified Professional Photographers who are Members of The British Institute of Professional Photography (BIPP) and Master Photographers Association (MPA) seem less affected by this scandal and are seeing an increase in trade.

    Further revelations regarding other wedding trades are expected soon.
