Kerry and David chose Three Rivers Golf & Country Club for their Wedding Ceremony and Reception. After taking a few pictures of Kerry before her Wedding we left her to go Three Rivers, and take a few pictures of David and his Best Man. Following the Wedding Ceremony we found a sheltered spot out of the strong wind for a few family group pictures. Amazingly, Kerry’s veil stayed on during the afternoon, but to get some portraits of Kerry and David together, we were able to take some pictures inside Three Rivers. After the Wedding Breakfast, we managed to capture a few pictures of the two of them by the lake, before the First Dance. It was nice to meet David’s side of the family again after meeting them for the first time at David’s sister’s Wedding at Channels, Chelmsford, last year.
Thank you to all the prospective Brides & Bridegrooms who stopped to talk to us (especially those that booked!) today at the Parklands Wedding Fayre. It was great to see so many couples preparing to ‘tie the knot’ and good to help with their plans.
Thanks to the management & staff of Parklands for organising a great Fayre.
David and I are looking forward to attending the Parklands, Quendon Hall, Wedding Fayre and Open Day on Sunday 5th June. Come and meet us, have a chat, and view our sample albums.
Claire and Tim booked us as their Wedding Photographers for their Wedding 18 months ago, at the early stage of their plans, so it was really nice to see everything come together for their Wedding Day. Our day started at home for the final bridal preparations, which were in full swing. Claire looked stunning, and her Bridesmaids looked radiant in their pink dresses. We took some lovely images outside in the garden as the sun was shining, as well as capturing some pictures inside, which can be missed on a lovely day. Following this we made our way to St Nicolas Church, Witham, where Tim and his attendants were carrying out their duties. After the Church service a few family groups were taken in the grounds of the Church before making our way to The Fennes Estate, Bocking for the Reception. Guests enjoyed a relaxing in Drinks Reception and we captured some lovely informal pictures. The relaxed Bridal Party shots provided much fun and laughter. A few pictures of Claire and Tim around the beautiful grounds of The Fennes were taken before the Wedding Breakfast. After taking some pictures of the Speeches, we captured the inside of The Fennes with a few images of Claire and Tim in the various rooms before finishing with a sunset picture and the First Dance. It was lovely to see so many familar faces at this lovely Wedding.
Our first wedding date for 2013 has now been booked, which is great news for that couple – and bad news for anybody else that enquires for that date! It’s never too early to book if you know what you want!!
It is always a pleasure to receive a ‘Thank You’ for our Wedding Photography. Lauren and Nick were married in April 2011 at Crondon Park, Stock
To David and Sandra
Just a quick note to say thank you so much for doing an amazing job with our wedding photos! Not only is your work of top quality but you are both such lovely people, you made everyone feel relaxed. You really have given us some dream photos!!
Thank you!!
Lauren and Nick
Louise and Daniel chose St Michael’s Church, Roxwell, for their Wedding Ceremony, followed by a Reception at The Ivy Hill Hotel, Margaretting. After the Wedding Ceremony, a few family group pictures were taken outside the Church as well as some fun pictures of Lousie and Daniel as they left the Church being showered with confetti! We made our way to The Ivy Hill Hotel where the Reception was being held. The Guests enjoyed a Drinks Reception in the warm sunshine whilst we took a few pictures for the happy couple of themselves and their Bridal Party. After the Wedding Breakfast and Speeches we had a few minutes to create some pictures in the warm evening light across the pond ahead of the First Dance.
We met Kelly and Dan on a pleasant evening at Danbury Lakes. The last time we saw Kelly was when she was a Bridesmaid at her sister’s Wedding in 2005, as the Wedding booking was made over the phone. A stroll around the Lakes produced some nice pictures for Kelly and Dan prior to their Wedding in the next few weeks.

This episode of the One Show made me want to cry for the couples involved and then it made me angry on several counts!! The photography shown is simply dire, obviously we did not see all of it so a balanced judgement is difficult, we have to trust that the BBC were fair in what they showed and the couples all knew what they were booking.
Just because somebody calls themselves a ‘Photographer’ or a ‘Professional Photographer’ does not mean they are any good at what they do and not all clients understand what style of photography they really require. Do check that your photographer is qualified in ‘Wedding Photography’, as there is nothing to stop a qualified ‘Industrial’ or ‘ Medical’ photographer for instance, starting in weddings!
For many jobs these days you need to have qualifications before you start. Unfortunately ANYBODY can pick up a camera, call themselves a wedding photographer and potentially mess up somebody’s wedding . Weddings are a once only event for most people and need to be right despite all the pressure of the weather, time and 100 guests with a different agenda! !!
In the show the ‘photographer’ was not even dressed appropriately – I love my jeans but NOT at a wedding that is showing no respect
A little piece written in the 19th Centuary:-
“It’s better to have paid too much.
When you pay too much all you risk is loosing a little money.
When you pay too little you risk losing everything if what you bought is incapable of doing what you wanted”
Please make sure you know the difference between a £700 photographer and a £2000 photographer (and what you get for your money!) before you set your budget and wedding dreams. Make sure you understand the style that your photographer works in. There are some truly great photographers who work fully ‘Reportage’, ‘Photo-Journalistic’ or ‘Documentary’ style and do not do family groups, but for some it is an excuse for not arranging anything and them claiming it was ‘all natural’!
Although it guarantees nothing, we are proud to be Qualified Member of the two main bodies for Professional Photographers in The UK – The British Institute of Professional Photography & The Master Photographer Association, if your photographer is not at least a member of one of these it may be worth politely backing off!
