  • Wedding Photography for Emma & Marc at Gaynes Park, Epping

    The sun was shining as we arrived at Emma’s house for a few pictures of the final preparations before meeting Marc for his pictures at Gaynes Park, prior to Emma and Bridesmaids arrival in the VW Beetles.  Emma was escorted by her Mum and Bridesmaids to the Orangery, where the Ceremony was being held.  During the Drinks Reception the owner of Gaynes Park invited us,with the Bride and Groom, to her private Bluebell Wood for some exclusive pictures.  Following our visit to the Wood we took Emma and Marc’s family pictures in the beautiful Walled Garden, where the Guests were enjoying canapes and drinks.  We completed Emma and Marc’s afternoon pictures, including Emma’s fantastic Christian Louboutin shoes, whilst the Guests were being seated for the Wedding Breakfast,  After the Wedding Breakfast we took a few evening pictures including the First Dance.  Shortly after the First Dance, Marc took the microphone and sang a song to Emma which is where our coverage of Emma and Marc’s lovely Wedding finished.Wedding Photo at Gaynes Park

  • Wedding Photography for Sam & Paul at Crondon Park, Stock

    Wow, what an extra special day!  We have known Sam since she was two years old, so it was a real privilege to photograph her Wedding.  This was the hottest day of the year and David’s Birthday! After taking some getting ready pictures at Sam’s Parents’ house, we went into the garden, making use of a shady spot for a few family pictures.  Sam looked absolutely stunning!  As the Limousine arrived we left to go to Crondon Park and find Paul, Best Men and Ushers for some relaxed pictures.   After the Civil Ceremony we took Sam and Paul to the oilseed rape field for some relaxed, fun, Bride and Groom portraits, whilst their Guests enjoyed the Drinks Reception.  Allowing Sam and Paul time to mingle with their Guests, we were able to capture some lovely natural images of the day. Following the superb Wedding Breakfast and Speeches, a relaxed walk over to the Lake with the happy couple, in the evening sunshine, capturing some lovely moments, the evening party began.  Sam and Paul are a lovely couple and we were so happy to be a part of their wonderful day.Wedding photo - Crondon Park

  • Portrait in the woods

    Great to meet Janna & Stephen for their pre-wedding picture. They brought along their sons Thomas & Jack so we could meet them also ahead of their wedding  which will be at Down Hall in afew weeks time. 

    The picture is a great reminder that portraits do not have to be in a bland studio against a white wall! Children always seem better outdoors.Envioronmental Portrait
