  • Family Pictures

    It was nice to meet up again with Sarah and Rob for some family portraits.  We photographed their Wedding at Parklands, Quendon Hall, in 2008.Family portrait in Colchesterlands, Quendon Hall, in 2008.

    Highwoods Country Park was where we decided to meet Lisa and Simon for an update on their Wedding plans, have a chat and take a few pictures.  We are looking forward to photographing their Wedding at Stoke by Nayland Hotel and Spa soon.

    Wow!  We are extremely busy at the moment and falling behind with our Blog entries, they will be done as soon as possible, we promise!

  • Wedding day time plan

    I do hope that the Royal wedding (taking place at 11.0am) will start a new trend in our culture for slightly longer wedding celebrations. Some cultures have weddings over 2 or 3 days!

    In this country we seem to often want the wedding as late as possible in the day, with the Wedding Breakfast served as soon as possible after the Ceremony, which leads to some Brides saying, “The Day went by in a flash” – the answer of course is to leave more time. Having laid out all that hard earned money for the day, why not spend a little more time to enjoy it.

    The standard time between the Wedding  Ceremony and Wedding Breakfast in the UK seems to be 90 minutes, in which time there is a scrap to take the family pictures, create some beautiful pictures for the Bride and Groom and for the happy couple to relax and enjoy time with maybe 70-100 guests. Think about spending just one minute with each guest and you will see where the difficulties can start!!

    This has been solved in some countries by the Bride & Groom having their Portraits created before the Ceremony so they are free to enjoy the time afterwards – OK so it will never happen here but you see where I am going! Leaving just a minute per guest and another 60 minutes for photography will ensure the wedding day experience will be great and not rushed.

    This is just a thought inspired by Kate & William’s wedding time. We hope they have a great day.

  • Wedding Testimonial

    It was lovely to receive a ‘Thank you’ from Katy and Rob who were married at Gosfield Hall, Essex, recently.

    “Just wanted to write a quick note to say thank you.  Our Wedding was quite simply the most amazing day we could have wished for.  The photos are truly fantastic and we will look back at them fondly for years to come”

  • Pre-Wedding Meetings/Pictures

    We do enjoy meeting our clients prior to their Wedding Day to discuss their details and take a pre-wedding picture. We get to know them better and it makes their Wedding Day even more special to us. Recently we met Cathy and Matt at Creeksea Place, and had an enjoyable time walking around the Venue, chatting about ideas for shots as well as taking some.  Sandra and Drew are getting married at The Fennes soon and we met up with them recently, although we kept pictures to the minimum as it was a bit chilly!Photo for Fennes Wedding

  • Wedding Fair at Prested Hall, Feering

    A thank you to everyone who visited us at the Wedding Fair at Prested Hall, today.  We enjoyed meeting and speaking to prospective Bride and Grooms about their Wedding plans and it was great to come away with several bookings.

  • Wedding Photography for Stephanie and Simon at The Fennes

    A beautiful spring day greeted us for the Wedding of Stephanie and Simon at The Fennes Estate, Bocking.  Stephanie was bubbly with excitement from the moment we met her when she was getting ready until the end of the day.  Family and friends from all over the world were present and enjoyed relaxing in the beautiful surroundings of Fennes.  Stephanie and Simon left plenty of time, not only for us to do our creative shots, but for family groups, as well as socialising with their Guests.
