Children are often more comfortable in familiar surrounding which is how we prefer to photograph them! Using just window light is a skill not practiced by many new photographers but is a something we love to use.

It was a lovely bright day when we arrived at Karen’s house to start their Wedding Photography.  As Karen was ready it gave us the opportunity for relaxed pictures as she had left plenty of time.  On arrival at St Michael’s Church, Bulmer, we presented the Vicar with a mounted picture of himself, taken when we were previously there, which he was very pleased with.  After the service, a few traditional photographs as well as natural confetti pictures were taken, then we left to go to Smeetham Hall Barn.  We created a fun experience with the Bridal party within the wonderful grounds of the Barn, resulting in natural smiley pictures.

It was a pleasure to be the Essex Wedding Photographers for the Wedding of Caroline and Marcus.  Our day started at Caroline’s home where we were able to take some photographs in the garden.  After the service at St Nicolas Church we were able to capture some lovely images outside the Church before leaving for the The Fennes Estate, Bocking, for the Reception.  Caroline, Marcus and their Guests enjoyed their day at Fennes, enabling David and I to record some wonderful memories for them.

The weather was not too kind to us as Essex Wedding Photographers for the Wedding of Georgina & Simon at The Fennes Estate, Bocking.  Fennes is one of the best places when the weather is less than perfect and provides many oppportunities to produce creative wedding photography indoors.  A break in the weather during the Wedding Breakfast allowed us to take Georgina & Simon onto the bridge for a few minutes to create some classic Fennes’ photographs.

Essex wedding photographers David & Sandra Islip have this week attended a training workshop at Roaches Hall in Derbyshire with a great crowd of photographers and models.

Roaches Hall was set on a hillside and made a great location for photography.

The models were excellent this was David’s favourite picture followed by Sandra’s

Wedding photography at Crabbs Barn, Kelvedon, Essex is always a pleasure and this week with Liz & Matt was no exception – well maybe it could have been 20c warmer! The day started with the Bride’s final preparations at The White Hart Hotel, Coggeshall, Essex, which has the most beautiful room for the Bride’s photographs and then onto the civil ceremony at Crabbs Barn, Kelvedon. Here are a couple of photographs to show that wedding photography in Essex in winter is possible! More pictures will be shown after the Honeymoon.

As forward looking Essex Wedding Photographers, David & Sandra visited the annual Focus on Imaging exhibition at N.E.C. Birmingham as part of our continuous search for ways to improve our systems, photography and products we offer our clients. 

The most impressive new product was Musee by Queensberry albums – absoultly stunning but only suited to a very few clients who are prepared to commission and invest in something very special. Watch this space for more information!

We were delighted to be the Essex Wedding Photographers for Katie & Gavin’s Wedding held at the The Fennes Estate, Bocking. The weather was not too kind to us being rather wet but we were very lucky to find 5-10 minutes without it raining allowing them to go onto the feature bridge at Fennes.  Knowing Katie & Gavin wanted to do some wedding photographs on the bridge made this part of the day very special and we achieved some lovely results. We enjoyed our time creating images for Katie & Gavin within Fennes.  Finally, a big thank you to Katie, seeing her smile from the very beginning of the day to the end was a lovely memory of the day for us.
