Last night was the Awards Night for our local photographer’s group covering covering the London & Essex region for the Master Photographers Association and The British Institute of Professional Photography. The judge was Ray Lowe FMPA FBIPP who is an internationally respected judge and one of the best qualified photographers in the UK.
Congratlutions to the overall winners Kevin Pengelly and Brian Baker who put in some great pictures and those of our other friends who also achieved Awards of Excellence.
Great to meet Janna & Stephen for their pre-wedding picture. They brought along their sons Thomas & Jack so we could meet them also ahead of their wedding which will be at Down Hall in afew weeks time.
The picture is a great reminder that portraits do not have to be in a bland studio against a white wall! Children always seem better outdoors.
It was a great privalage to photograph the guests at a Charity Ball on Friday night at The Stoke By Nayland Hotel. The Ball raised over £12,000 for Prostate Cancer research and we were delighted to be able to assist with some pictures as the guests arrived. Pictures are now available to view and purchase online -a donation will be made to the Charity.

Natalie and Matt were married recently at Gaynes Park, Epping.
It was a lovely spring day with warm sunshine for Lauren & Nick’s Wedding. Our day started with meeting Lauren, her family and bridesmaids at Greenwoods Hotel & Spa where they were getting ready. All was well with preparations although as always the last hour before the Wedding goes extremely fast. We managed to get of few pictures of Lauren and the Bridesmaids at Greenwoods before setting off to St MIchaels’s Church, Galleywood. We were able to spend some time with Nick and his Groomsmen taking some informal and formal shots, together with Guest pictures, prior to Lauren arriving in the Horse and Carriage. After the Church service and the taking of a few family group photographs outside the Church we made our way to Crondon Park. On arrival at Crondon Park, Lauren and Nick, wanted to have some photographs taken in the oil-seed rape field which we were more than happy to go and do! What fantastic results we achieved! Lauren & Nick’s Guests were entertained by a fantastic String Quartet who not only played but gave an enjoyable performance. After a lovely Wedding Breakfast, a few evening pictures were taken and the Guests enjoyed a surprise Fireworks display.
It was nice to meet Vicki and Sean again, prior to their Wedding. After discussing final details of their Wedding plans, Vicki and Sean requested a picture with their dogs, which we were more than happy to oblige. As you can see we were very pleased with the result, considering how lively the dogs were! Congratulations to Sean, who plays for Braintree Town FC, on their promotion!
It was lovely to meet Lauren & David, and Karen & Tom, at Hylands, prior to their Weddings. Both couples are getting married at Gaynes Park, Epping, in the summer.
