Testimonial for Gosfield Hall Wedding Photographers

We were thrilled to receive these kind words from Lauren and Brett:-

Hi David and Sandra,

Lauren and myself just wanted to drop you a quick email to say thank you for everything that you did on Friday. We felt at ease throughout the whole of the photos and enjoyed spending the day with yourselves. We really can’t wait to see our photos and the ones that you showed us on the day looked amazing. Thank you for everything that you both did for us on the day it really helped and we would recommend you to anybody.

Wedding Photography for Michelle & Adam – Prested Hall, Feering

Michelle’s final bridal preparations were taking place at Prested Hall, when we arrived, so we took a few pictures before heading off to the beautiful St. Peter’s Church, Coggeshall. Before Michelle arrived we took a few pictures of Adam and the men, outside the Church. After the service we quickly got on with the family group pictures and a few other pictures as it was a humid day and the clouds looked threatening! Fortunately, we managed all this before the rain began to fall! Once back to Prested Hall, as it was still raining Michelle and Adam socialised with their Guests inside. Before long it stopped raining, the sun came out and we were able to take a few pictures of Michelle and Adam around the grounds of Prested Hall. Coverage of the Speeches and pictures of the First Dance completed our day.

Wedding Photography for Ann & Nigel – St. Mary's Church, Great Baddow & Russells Restaurant, Great Baddow

It was a beautiful day when we arrived at Ann and Nigel’s house, where the girls were busily getting ready. After taking some pictures of Ann and the girls in the garden we left to go to St. Mary’s Church, Great Baddow, for the Church service. On arrival we took a few pictures of Nigel with his Groomsmen, before they took their places in the Church. After the Ceremony, Ann and Nigel greeted their Guests in between a few family group pictures being taken. The Guests mingled whilst we took Ann and Nigel for a short stroll around the Church grounds for a few Bride and Groom portraits. Ann and Nigel then walked the short distance from the Church to Russells Restaurant, where the Wedding Reception was being held. The timbered barn with its high ceiling provided us with some lovely shots. After the Wedding Breakfast and Speeches, we stayed for the First Dance and took a few evening pictures. This was our first visit to Russells Restaurant for a Wedding Reception and we would like to thank Robert for being friendly and helpful, which was very much appreciated.

Wedding Photography for Sam & Mike at Crabbs Barn, Kelvedon

Our day started at Sam’s Parents’ house, where we took some pictures of Sam, her Parents and her special friends, who were helping her get ready for her special day. Sam requested us to take pictures of the family cat, dog and tortoise, which resulted in the amusing sight of David being chased by the tortoise! After a small Civil Ceremony at Crabbs Barn, more Guests joined them for the Drinks reception and pictures. Following the Wedding Breakfast, we took a few pictures as the sun was setting, before the Evening Reception and First Dance. Music was provided by the band “Good Rockin Tonight”, who were excellent! As Sam and Mike were going travelling three days after their Wedding and by working overtime we were able to produce a proof show before they went, which went down a treat!

Wedding Photography for Lauren & Neil at The Lawn, Rochford

It is always a pleasure to visit The Lawn, Rochford, which is where Lauren was preparing for her Wedding. Having taken a few pictures of Lauren with her Attendants, we made our way to Holy Trinity Church, Rayleigh, to photograph Neil and his Attendants, before Lauren arrived. After the Church service we took a formal group of the Bridal party followed by confetti shots, to minimise the time spent at the Church. I took a few pictures of the Guests as we travelled back to The Lawn on a double-decker bus. The weather was beautifully warm for the Drinks Reception, whilst we took the requested family group pictures with some good fun pictures of the Bridal party. After spending a few minutes creating Lauren and Neil’s romantic pictures, everyone was seated for the Wedding Breakfast in The Orangery. Not wanting to take too much of Lauren and Neil’s time, we kept the range of evening shots to a couple, with very pleasing results!

Wedding Photography for Tara & Matt at The Fennes Estate, Bocking

Tara and Matt chose The Fennes Estate, for their Wedding. Tara and Matt were both getting ready in the Georgian House for their Civil Ceremony, which was being held outside in the Gazebo. After saying a quick ‘hello’ to Tara, David went to find the men to take some final preparation pictures, whilst I stayed with Tara and her Bridesmaids, capturing their preparations. Tara and Matt really wanted an outside Ceremony and as the Guests arrived and made their way to the Gazebo, fingers were being crossed regarding the weather! Following a few pictures of Matt, then Tara, everything was ready . Tara and her Bridesmaids made a lovely picture exiting the House towards the Gazebo. After the Ceremony, Tara and Matt made their way back to the House when the first drops of rain began to fall! We captured some lovely natural moments of Tara, Matt and their Guests in the Reception rooms whilst waiting for the heavy shower to pass. Fortunately it did, the sun came out, and everyone went outside for a few family photographs. We had a good time doing some fun relaxed pictures as well, before the Wedding Breakfast. The brilliant Irie J sang during the meal and for the First Dance, it was great to catch up with him again.
