Everything was running smoothly when we arrived at Sinead’s family home in Dedham, Essex, for the bridal preparations. We took some informal and formal pictures of the girls inside and outside before leaving to go to the St Mary’s Church, Dedham, for the Church service. Following the service a few pictures were taken in the grounds, then Sinead and Ross left the Church to a shower of confetti!
Many of their Guests walked to the Reception which was held at Sinead’s family home and we captured some lovely images whilst we walked as well. With a wonderfully colourful setting the opportunities were endless for requested family pictures and with the weather on our side we took full advantage. Sinead and Ross had several opportunities to socialise with their Guests before we took them off for a stroll around different areas for their pictures. We all had a great time and achieved some lovely pictures before the Wedding Breakfast. Speeches followed before the evening and First Dance photographs and this ended a wonderful day. It was nice to work with Mervyn Rutter (Toastmaster) again, and thank you to The Food Station, www.foodstation.uk.com who looked after us and provided excellent food.

Wedding Photography – Geneta & Mark at The Rose & Crown Hotel, Colchester
It was a pleasure to photograph Geni and Mark’s Wedding which was held at The Rose & Crown Hotel, Colchester, Essex. We started our day at Geni and Mark’s home for a few pictures of Geni, her Bridesmaids and Parents. It was a delight to meet Geni’s parents who were so happy as they had flown in from Rumania for their daughter’s Wedding. After a few pictures we made our way to The Rose & Crown. Being such a very warm dry day we were able to take a few pictures of Mark, together with his Best Man and Ushers prior to Geni arriving. Following the Civil Ceremony, everybody enjoyed socialising during the Drinks Reception in the warm sunshine outside whilst we took a few requested pictures. We captured a set of lovely portrait pictures around inside and outside the Rose & Crown with Geni and Mark before they sat down for their Wedding Breakfast. A wonderful day!

Wedding Photography for Georgina & Thomas – St. Howards Church, Horringer and Marquee
An early start for us and with the sun shining brightly we travelled to Suffolk to photograph the Wedding of Georgina and Thomas. We arrived at Georgina’s family home where the girls’ preparations were in full swing. With plenty to keep me occupied, David joined the guys who were staying down the road, for their final preparations. After taking a few pictures of George, her Bridesmaids, we left for the St. Howards Church, Horrringer. Tom, his Best Man and Ushers were greeting Guests but we found a little time to take a few pictures of them. After the service, requested family groups were taken outside the Church in the brilliant sunshine. Making our way back to Georgina’s family home for the Reception ahead of the Bride and Groom allowed us to take some beautiful pictures of the two of them with the Horse and Carriage.
The drinks reception was held in the garden which gave us the opportunity capturing some informal photographs, with room for photographing small group photos as well. Coverage of Speeches followed the Wedding Breakfast and as the sun was going down we went for a short walk with George and Tom around the family home for some special photographs. George and Tom entertained the Guests during the evening by using us as their own Photo Booth! After an enjoyable, hot, exhausting day we left late as Georgina and Thomas danced the night away!

Wedding Photography for Laura & Nathan at Spains Hall, Finchingfield
It was a beautiful day when we arrived at Laura’s Mum’s house for the final bridal preparations. The girls were relaxed, having their final make up touches applied by the excellent Kelly Hollands, and before long it was time for all of them to put their dresses on. We took a few pictures of the girls before leaving to go to the Church. All Saints Church, Rayne, was where the service was held and after the service, everyone came out into warm sunshine and socialised whilst a few family pictures were taken, followed by the traditional confetti throwing.
Spains Hall, Finchingfield, was the Reception venue, a beautiful setting, especially with today’s weather! Laura and Nathan’s Guests enjoyed a Drinks Reception with the children enjoying themselves playing with the various garden games. We took Laura and Nathan for a few photographs in the shade under the trees also allowing them time to themselves. Following a break, some requested group photographs were taken together with a few fun bridal party pictures. Time just flew by and before long, it was time for the Wedding Breakfast, supplied by Le Talbooth, which was superb. Coverage of the speeches followed before an interval before the First Dance. A short stroll around the grounds in the soft evening light with Laura and Nathan provided us with wonderful pictures before the First Dance. Evening Guests arrived and joined in the celebrations and were entertained later on by a surprise Firework Display. A wonderful day! Video filming was by Your Perfect Day

Wedding Photography for Andrea & Mark – Hanbury Manor, Hertfordshire
It has been a while since we have photographed a Wedding at the wonderful Wedding Venue, Hanbury Manor, Hertfordshire, so it was nice to be back there again. On arrival I went to see Andrea and her Bridesmaids, who were busy with bridal preparations, whilst David went to find Mark with his Ushers and Best Man. After capturing some images from both sets of preparations and photographing Guest arrivals, we moved to the impressive chapel, Poles Hall, within Hanbury Manor, for the Wedding Ceremony. Following the Ceremony, Andrea and Mark and their Guests enjoyed a Drinks Reception and with it being a dry day were able to use the Courtyard. With many places to choose from to take photographs, it was decided to take their requested family pictures at the back of Hanbury Manor. Informal pictures followed before a few Bride and Groom portraits around the grounds of Hanbury Manor itself. The Wedding Breakfast was held in Poles Hall, which looked a lovely sight. After Speeches, we took a couple of evening pictures of Andrea and Mark before photographing their First Dance.

Wedding Testimonial – Laura & Jonathan's Wedding – Braxted Park
It is always a pleasure to receive a ‘Thank You’ and we were especially happy to receive this one from Laura’s Parents.
Dear David and Sandra
Now that Laura and Jonathan are back from honeymoon we have seen the first draft of the wedding photographs, which has prompted me to write to you – as I had been intending for the past few weeks.
As you know, we had a wonderful day (except for the weather!) and the photos are a fantastic memory of that. From a very quick look the other day I am so impressed by what you have done and I’m really looking forward to seeing the finished product.
I would also like to thank you both for your involvement on the day. You were so patient,helpful, unobtrusive and professional.
I really cannot praise you and thank you enough. One does hear wedding photographers horror stories and you were both so far from that. Thank you.
Very best wishes
Andrew and Liz
