David and I were delighted to receive a ‘Thank you’ card from Kelly & Paul who were married in the summer of 2009, at Fennes. A couple of quotes:-
‘Thank you also for all your help and support before, during and after the wedding. You really did help to make the day extra special and we are so pleased with how the photos turned out’.
What a nice start to the New Year.
Gemma & Henry’s choice for their Wedding Venue for their Wedding Day was Yaxley Hall, Suffolk. This was our first visit to be wedding photographers at Yaxley Hall, Suffolk and what a picture it made in the snow. Although it was cold everybody ventured out of the Hall for a few pictures, before hurrying back in for warmth!
Well it’s that time of year again when we like to thank all our suppliers, good friends in the industry and our fantastic clients for another excellent year.
Sorry if we have missed anybody off our christmas card list!!
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year!!
David & Sandra
A question for all Brides? Does your photographer have any cover or plans in the event of disaster? Today our network of photographers was called into action when Steve from ‘A Little Box of Memories’ called because he was stuck in the snowy traffic jams! We grabbed our cameras and drove to Leez Priory to cover for him in case he did not get there. As it happened he was only 10 minutes late and took the wedding back over before we had really got started. Can you imagine how much better the Bride felt with the message ‘I am stuck and may not make it but somebody is comng to cover’.
Last night our group (well those that wanted to!) met for a very quiet (?) meal and drink at Waterfront Place, Chelmsford. Picture show how some of the committee lead the way in refined conduct!!! Great night out, just went too quickly.
Maxine and Martin were married at St Mary’s Church, Bocking, on a cool but dry and bright day with their Reception being held at The Fennes Estate, Bocking. We were able to take some lovely photographs of Maxine and Martin on the bridge at Fennes in the sunshine in the afternoon and some sunset pictures later on.
After a thoroughly wet morning, the weather brightened, in time for Rachel & Jon’s Wedding at The Fennes Estate, Bocking. Eventually, it was dry enough to go outside for some shots, in addition to taking some lovely relaxed, informal pictures within the house.
Sarah & Kristian’s Wedding was held at the unique Butley Priory, Suffolk. We were spoilt for choice for photographic opportunities and made full use of these. Sarah & Kristian asked their Guests to decorate a Pumpkin and held a competition to find the best one. This was a lovely idea and good fun, especially within the candlelit setting.
My good friend and fellow Photographer Dave Court of Court on Camera has written a great blog on how he is recommended by Venues for his work and not for a commission. This I fully agree with. Recommendations should be for consistently doing a good job, not for money. Our clients can rest assured that the Venues that kindly list us as a preferred supplier do not receive any payment.
A belated ‘thank you’ to everyone who attended the Fennes Open Day, we enjoyed meeting new clients as well as existing ones and had a very successful day.
