    A recent request was from a local company looking for Glazing Product Photography.

    Super Slim Glazing are a UK based company that specialises in the design, manufacture and installation of all types of internal glazing and partitioning. They have well made innovative products.

    We provided a range of options with the glazing in open and closed positions. We also provided detail close up pictures of the hardware, handles, hinges etc.

    The company had tried iPhone pictures but they couldn’t get the quality or view of our extra wide angle lenses which are ideal for Glazing Product Photography in tight spaces.

  • Fennes Wedding

    It was a lovely to do the Fennes Wedding Photography for Becca & Kieran in May this year.

    Preparations were well underway when we arrived at Fennes during the morning of the Wedding. The weather was not playing ball , it was raining but we were hopeful and according to the forecast it would be better later on. Once Kieran and his Groomsmen were ready they had a few pictures taken, as did Becca and the girls later.

    Soon it was time for the Ceremony in the Pavilion. Becca and her Dad followed the Bridesmaids into the Pavilion for the Wedding to start. While the Ceremony was taking place the rain stopped. Yes, we could now go outside for the pictures. The afternoon outside allowed Becca, Kieran and their Guests enjoy being in the grounds of Fennes for the Drinks Reception. Becca and Kieran wanted a few family group pictures taken and we took Becca and Kieran for a few pictures of them during the afternoon.

    The venue and facilities are exclusively yours, so you can relax and enjoy your day with your friends and family. Every couples’ special day is unique we treat each wedding differently, providing you with a highly personalised and attentive service.

  • Fennes Wedding Photography for Catherine & Adam

    Yes, finally, Catherine and Adam’s Wedding at Fennes! After postponements, due to Covid and the birth of their daughter, Felicity, the Wedding finally took place!

    Catherine and her Bridesmaids were getting ready at Fennes and all was going well.

    The Camper Van was waiting to take Adam and his Groomsmen to St Mary’s Church Bocking for the Wedding service but there was time to take a few pictures of them before leaving.

    Time as always was going very fast but we managed to take a few pictures of the girls before they left.

    All Felicity wanted when we got to the Church was her Mum! No problem, Catherine carried her into the Church. Felicity loved being a part of her Mum and Dad’s Wedding Day.

    A few pictures outside the Church and off we went back to Fennes,

    A lovely relaxed afternoon was spent at Fennes enjoying the wonderful weather. We spent a little time with Catherine and Adam, taking a few pictures of them on the Bridge.

    It was a beautiful evening after the Wedding Breakfast and Speeches so outside was the place to be. Sparklers finished our coverage of Catherine and Adam’s lovely Wedding Day.

  • Vaulty Manor Wedding Photography for Sarah & David

    Well, we had been keeping our fingers crossed for a long while for Sarah and David’s Wedding Day. Postponements, weather, hoping to be Covid free, were only a few things we were concerned about! Not only were we Sarah and David’s Wedding Photographers, but Guests at their Wedding, Grandparents to the Flowergirl and Pageboy and consequently knew many people at the Wedding!

    An early start was the order for the day and what a beautiful day it was with it being very warm indeed!Preparations were going very well, timekeeping was spot on (thank you Katie (daughter-in-law)! Sarah was soon ready and looked fabulous! Pictures were taken before we left,inside and outside. A lovely garden Michael!

    Time for us to depart for St Mary The Virgin, High Easter. Guests were arriving and it was good to find a bit of shade now the sun had come out for some arrival shots. Time to get on with some pictures of David and his Groomsmen before they disappeared into the Church.

    Sarah arrived and entered the Church. Only one Grandchild shout out of ‘Grandad’ in the Church, that was good for us trying to be discreet as usual! Requested Group pictures outside the church were taken, then all off to Vaulty Manor, Heybridge.

    A great afternoon was had at Vaulty Manor with relaxation in full swing. Capturing a few pictures of the happy couple during the afternoon we were able to do, knowing there would be more later in the evening light.

    The Wedding Breakfast and Speeches were later, with everyone then enjoying the wonderful weather outside, having fun. Johnny B Goode were the entertainers for the evening and we all know how good they are! Dancing carried on all evening interrupted only by Sparklers.

    Well, what an amazing day! Sarah and David, thank you so much for such a memorable day.. Thank you also Sarah and David for letting our trainee Kieron be there with us at the Church and gain some invaluable experience.
