Today was spent in London with my good friend and ‘rival photographer’ Kevin Pengelly -yes competitors really can get on! First we visited an exhibition by Nikon whose Professional cameras we both use and are both members of their Professional Service. Then we visited the National Portrait Gallery for the Annie Leibovitch exhibition which was extremely inspiring, anybody with an interest in people photography will appreciate it.

So many families get stuck with what to buy for the older generations for special birthdays – why not buy them a portrait of those they love? This is how the Luckie family solved their problem. We have had the pleasure of working with them before at Jo & Oliver’s wedding last year at Dunmow, Essex with a reception at Maidens Barn and we are looking forward to photographing Amanda & Lee’s wedding in 2010 at Spains Hall, Finchingfield, Essex. A lovelly family to work with!

Joana made a fantastic subject to photograph in the studio. Although she really wanted something in an outdoors enviornmental setting the weather was against us! We do hope to photograph her again in the spring!

For the third year in sucussion we have been priveledged to create the Captain and Lady Captain’s portraits for the Club house at Benton Hall.

A very cold day for wedding photography at the stunning Leez Priory near Chelmsford, Essex. Kate & Richard put on a fabulous day for their family & friends who, despite the cold did their part for the happy couple’s (or should that be trio’s?) wedding photographs. For us when the weather is not fantastic outside we do have more opportunity to work with the beautiful interiors.

Creating family portraits is always a pleasure especially when it is for a couple whose wedding photography we did in 2006 at Smeetham Hall Barn, Essex. The arrival of Joseph has now made them into a family. We created a range of family and individual pictures for them.

I met Katie & Jeff for a rather chilly pre-wedding portrait at Danbury Country Park, near Chelmsford, Essex. They are getting married next year at Layer Marney Tower near Colchester, Essex and I look forward to being their wedding photographer.

It was great to see the Agombar family again for another portrait in our studio. WE took a mixture of family groups and individual portraits. Sandra’s children skills were again in evidence!

A visit to the Essex home of Jessie to create some portraits was a great success! We love our litte Imps!

We have known Lucie since she was born and it was a real pleasure to create a few portraits of her, for her 18th Birthday. We really would like to photograph more of our Essex 16-18 year olds they are such a vibrant age group and make great pictures!
