    The Compasses Pattiswick

    A new wedding venue in North Essex close to Coggeshall. The lovely country setting of the venue is ideal for a bespoke wedding Reception or other family celebration. The venue was previously a restaurant and has an excellent large kitchen, lounge, dining and dancing areas! The gardens have country views which will be ideal for our style of photography.  It looks fantastic for our signature sunset wedding shots! The Compasses Pattiswick is run by a highly experienced wedding event organiser Paul Gooding, who we have worked with many times previously. We look forward to our first commission at this venue.

    As always it was lovely to go and see Sarah and Will again. This time it was to meet the newest addition to their family, Freddie. We were the Wedding Photographers for Sarah and Will’s Wedding at Prested Hall, Kelvedon a few years ago and then took some family pictures in 2014 after their daughter, Harriet, was born. They now wanted to update their family pictures to include Freddie which we were more than happy to do. The pictures of Harriet and Freddie, both individually and together worked well, a little more challenging at as a family!  Still we did it! Looking forward to the next time as well! We really must thank Sarah and Will for recommending us both for Weddings and Family Pictures. we have lost count of how many jobs they have got us!

  • Outdoor Family Portrait Session

    Outdoor Family Portrait Session

    Amongst our very busy summer weddings last year we saw the ‘Hopper’ family once again for an Outdoor Family Portrait Session. Over the years we have photographed the girls’ Weddings, taken family pictures at home as well as out and about, always having an enjoyable time and ending up with fantastic results! This time was no exception! For Mum’s Birthday the family had bought her a Voucher from us for a family shoot.  Being rather a lot of them now, the decision was made to go to the local woods! Fine by us, we just needed the weather!  It couldn’t have been better! With a varying age range this proved to be a good choice. Natural props and just being outside worked well. We were very pleased with the results and so were they!

    A lot of our Baby and Family Portraits comes from recommendation. Laura and David had been given one of our Vouchers for a Baby and Family Portrait after the birth of their daughter, Amber. Laura’s sister, Rebecca and husband James used us as their Wedding Photographer at Layer Marney Tower in 2014 , and subsequently we took pictures of their daughter, Chloe, in 2015. They in turn purchased a Portrait Voucher for Laura and David. We were delighted to take some pictures of Amber by herself and some of the three of them together.. Amber was no trouble at all, preferring to sleep than to stay awake!

    During our very busy time photographing Weddings in the summer, it’s nice to ring the changes! One morning in July this year, we went to see Sam and Paul and their family again  to take some Family Portraits of the children and update their family pictures . We took a few pictures of Millie and Harry indoors but as it was such a lovely morning outside beckoned! Millie and Harry were stars! An enjoyable time was had and some nice relaxed Family Portraits were created!

  • Family Portrait pictures and Pre-Wedding meeting

    Family Portrait pictures and Pre-Wedding meeting

    Family Portrait pictures and Pre-Wedding  – Charlotte and Paul asked us if we could include a few pictures of the family together with the dogs whilst we were taking their pre-wedding pictures. That was absolutely fine with us, so arrangements were made.  Charlotte and Paul suggested meeting one evening  at St Peter’s Church, Great Totham, which is where Charlotte and Paul are getting married.  Whilst the evening sun was still out we took  a few pictures of Charlotte and Paul then found a different area to take the family pictures.  The dogs were well behaved and we had some pleasing results.   We were all pleased the pictures went well because one of the dogs, Cosmo, unfortunately was put to sleep a few days later.  Memories!

  • Family Portrait Photos – Gemma & Dan

    Family Portrait Photos for Gemma & Dan

    It was nice to see Gemma and Dan again back in early summer, just over a year since they were married at The Fennes Estate. Gemma and Dan now have a baby son, called Caleb, and they wanted a few pictures of him. Caleb, being only a couple of weeks old was really good.  Whilst we were there we took the opportunity of taking a few pictures of all the family.

    Deborah and Nick were married at Crabbs Barn in 2014 and we saw them again at a Wedding we photographed earlier this year. Deborah and Nick got in touch with us recently to take some pictures of their newborn son, Edward and a couple of them as a family. We were delighted to do so and a few days after Edward was born we visited them to take some pictures. Edward was so good, we had a lovely time resulting in some nice pictures.

  • Environmental Childrens Portraits

    Environmental Childrens Portraits

    Last year Vicki and Sean wanted some Environmental Childrens Portraits in the woods with bluebells and their children, Owen and Phoebe. Unfortunately the Bluebells were over by the time when they wanted to go!  This year would be different! Pod’s Wood was the place and we had fingers crossed for the weather!  We couldn’t believe how fortunate we were on the day, it was dry, warm and sunny! The only blip was Sean could not make it but we went ahead anyway. Last time we saw Phoebe, she was crawling, now walking!  Owen was quite happy showing his sister what to do! What an enjoyable time we had with a wonderful family, great pictures! Already looking forward to seeing them again soon.
