Product Photography
Delighted to be asked by Peta UK Ltd to provide product photography for their range of disability products.
Products were photographed in groups and individually for their website and general Marketing. All on white background and some with differing retail packaging for their various sales outlets.
Lighting is usually the challenge with this type of product photography, how to show something clear on a white background! Some work just needs that professional touch.

Maldon Wedding Photography
Maldon Wedding Photography at All Saints Church. Due to circumstances last year Sarah and Jamie put their Wedding back until this year.
Photos at Bride’s Home
It was a lovely day for their Wedding and Sarah was ready when we arrived. We took Sarah and her Bridesmaids into the garden for a few pictures. As it was very hot we didn’t take very long at all!.
Jamie was getting ready very close by so we quickly looked in on him. A few pictures of him, his brother and his parents in the garden. A short time later we left to go to the Church.
All Saints Church, Maldon
We captured some images of the guests arriving and a couple of Jamie, whilst waiting for Sarah and her Father to arrive.
Once Sarah arrived, we captured the moment before Sarah, her Father and the Bridesmaids entered the Church.
After The Service
Following the service Sarah and Jamie went outside and were greeted by their Guests. A quick picture traditional of the Bridal Party followed by the action of the confetti
Layer Marney Tower
Leaving the Church we went to Layer Marney Tower . Sarah and Jamie arrived at Layer Marney by the gate. It was such a lovely bright dry day we took a few pictures of the happy couple with the car and before they walked up the path to see their Guests.
Sarah and Jamie had some relaxing quality time with their Guests during the drinks reception. Everyone had been looking forward to this time together, so much to catch up on. During the afternoon, we took Sarah and Jamie for a brief walk around Layer Marney for a few pictures, we just had to have a picture with the beautiful tulips!
When it was time for the Wedding Breakfast, the Guests took their seats at the tables in the Long Gallery. Our coverage of Sarah and Jamie’s Wedding Day ended when Sarah and Jamie entered the room.
It was a lovely day for Sarah and Jamie’s Wedding and we were very happy to be a part of their day. Do you need Maldon Wedding Photography? Contact us!

Fennes Wedding – Caroline & Tom
Fennes Wedding! At last! Our first Wedding of 2021 and it was extra special!
Pandemic Delay
Caroline and Tom had tried to get married on three previous dates! One of the previous dates was called of at 24 hours notice! Finally, with everybody’s fingers and toes crossed the marriage happened! What a day to choose, a very warm late spring day in May!
Preparations
We arrived at Fennes in the morning and met up with Caroline and Tom. Caroline was getting ready upstairs in Fennes with her Bridesmaids. Unbelievably Caroline and Tom’s Wedding Day had taken another turn!
Caroline’s Bridesmaid and her family unfortunately were not able to attend the Wedding. This happens but Caroline’s Bridesmaid was also the Hairdresser! She was going to do all the hair requirements on the day! Fennes staff to the rescue! You can rely on them! Earlier in the morning they had found a substitute Hairdresser! Caroline just took it all in her stride, which was wonderful.
The Ceremony was taking place outside and it the Gazebo looked lovely. Once Tom, his Best Man and Ushers were ready, we took a few pictures of them.
Meeting Dad
When Caroline was ready, her Dad made his way upstairs to see his daughter. A lovely moment. A few Bridal pictures were taken.
The Ceremony at last!
Caroline then came downstairs for the Fennes Wedding. Exiting from the Gold Room Caroline then made her way over to the Gazebo. Married at last!
The pictures of Caroline, Tom and all their Guests after the completion of the formalities were fabulous. It was great to capture these moment pictures whilst Caroline and Tom were enjoying the time. A musician provided the entertainment for them all.
Family Pictures
A little later we got on with taking the requested family pictures. During the afternoon Caroline and Tom had plenty of time to themselves before we took them for a few minutes around the grounds of Fennes for their pictures.
Wedding Breakfast
The Wedding Breakfast was in the Pavilion. Speeches took place after the meal. Later we took a few pictures of Caroline and Tom in the House. First Dance was going to be outside on the new Patio Area. Once Caroline and Tom did their First Dance we finished up with an evening picture by the bridge.
The end of our coverage of a very enjoyable relaxed Wedding for a lovely couple. Congratulations Caroline and Tom! It was well worth the wait! Huge thanks to Fennes, especially Sue and Sophie.

Penny & Simon's Pre-Wedding Pictures
Penny and Simon’s Pre-Wedding pictures were taken at Fennes before their meeting with the staff to discuss their forthcoming Wedding.
Pandemic Delay
Penny and Simon were due to get married in 2020 and are hopeful they can now be married later this year!
Fennes New Patio
Meeting Penny and Simon at Fennes worked well as we could see the nice new Patio area outside the Pavilion which has been built. An outside area for the Bride and Groom’s First Dance to take place. Deciding to meet with Penny and Simon before their Fennes meeting was good on the day, as the wind was expected to increase later on and we wanted some outdoor pictures.
Wedding Day Details
After filling in a few details of their Wedding Day and having a chat, we took a quick walk around the grounds and took a few pictures of Penny and Simon. We are looking forward, with fingers crossed, their Wedding can go ahead in a few weeks time.

Outdoor Pictures at Danbury Lakes
Outdoor Pictures at Danbury Lakes was our venue and meeting place to see Victoria, Lee and Hudson towards the the end of last year. David and I were their Wedding Photographers at their Wedding at Crabbs Barn, Kelvedon, in 2015.
Since then we have photographed their son, Hudson, and took pictures of their extended family for a present for Victoria’s Mum. It was great, not only did we take a variety of pictures, we all enjoyed ourselves, and caught up on all the news.
Hudson is a lovely little boy (Mum and Dad are very nice too!). Congratulations to Victoria and Lee on the news of an addition to your family soon. Looking forward to seeing you all again in the next few months. The Outdoor Pictures at Danbury Lakes worked well!

Environmental Family Pictures
Environmental Family Pictures was our job when we met up with Martin, Jess, Charlie and Evie during last year. Martin and Jess were married at Layer Marney Tower in 2010. Since then we have met up with them several times, including family pictures and Birthday Parties.
Today, up to date pictures of the family were required out and about. It was a lovely day in September we chose to take these pictures. Danbury Lakes provides various opportunities to take pictures. It has lots of areas available for different pictures.
We spent a lovely time catching up with this lovely family and creating their Environmental Family Pictures. We are looking forward to seeing them again soon.
