Review of the Year 2013 for our Professional Photography

Firstly a big thank you to all our professional photography clients from 2013. We have again met some wonderful people which makes it all worthwhile. Weddings photographed 56; a trip to WPPI convention in Las Vegas with another Accolade of Excellence; photography in the House of Commons for St Francis Hospice, are just some of the highlights, although being awarded a Fellowship in Wedding Photography from the BIPP has to be the pinnacle. Whilst the Fellowship was awarded in my name it would not have happened without the support from Sandra.

Our portraits have become better in 2013, targeting home and enviornmental rather than bland studio shots but there is still a way to go to achieve where we wish to be.

It has been good being part of the committee for the London & Essex Professional Photography Group. Good friends, good contacts, good education and a couple of great social events!

Thanks to Nathan for creating our new website.

Happy New Year

Wedding Photography for Nina & Steve – Kings Oak Hotel, High Beach, Epping

It was a very hot day when we arrived at the Premier Inn where Nina was getting ready for her Wedding. Fortunately, we found a shady area outside in the grounds for a few pictures once Nina, her Bridesmaids and Family were ready. Leaving them a short while later we met Steve at The Kings Oak Hotel, High Beach. With the beautiful Epping Forest all around us we had plenty of nice areas to take some pictures of Steve and his Best Men before the arrival of the Guests. Following the Civil Ceremony everybody enjoyed the Drinks Reception before we took a few requested family group pictures under the shade of the trees in the Forest. Once the Guests returned to the Drinks Reception we kept Nina and Steve for a few portraits of them together before we returned and captured some informal pictures. After the Wedding Breakfast and Speeches by Steve, the Best Men and Nina, there was time to enjoy the evening sunshine around the Hotel. Keeping a watchful eye on the evening sun as it was going down and trying to anticipate when we should let Nina and Steve know when the best time would be for their sunset pictures, was well worth it, as we achieved some lovely results. Some First Dance pictures and some informal pictures of Nina and Steve’s evening Guests ended our day.
