A beautiful springtime day greeted us on arrival at Leez Priory, Chelmsford, for the Wedding of Lauren and Stuart. We started by photographing the pre-wedding finishing touches for Lauren in the Main House and Stuart in the Granary, followed by capturing some images of their Guests making their way to the Great Tower for the Civil Ceremony. Lauren and Stuart enjoyed socialising with their Guests in the warm sunshine in between a few family group shots. Whilst their Guests enjoyed the Drinks Reception we took Lauren and Stuart for a walk around the wonderful grounds for their pictures. Following an excellent meal provided by Leez Priory our day ended with pictures of the First Dance and a few shots of the happy couple with the nighttime illuminations outside the Priory.

10 years of Digital Photography
While looking for some pictures for a client, I have just realised that we have been digital photographers for 10 years – where did that go!!
Our first camera was the Nikon D1x which we bought for £3500 in 2001, although it had been ordered in 2000 when it was first announced. Not an insignificant sum of money and quite a gamble on what was a relatively new technology. We used the camera for portraits and wedding candids in the first year, the full digital conversion would not be until September 2002.
There was a huge learning curve not only for the photographic side but also for the computer work afterwards and we are still learning!!
I remember thinking how we would save a fortune in film and processing costs not realising that we would use a significant amount more of our time and a huge investment in computing and ancillary equipment and of course camera upgrades! So why did we continue if we were not saving money? Control is the answer, everything is now controlled in house and is printed just as we want it, the improvement in quality for our clients has been fantastic. The thought of trying to use film again brings me out in a cold sweat!!

Pre-Wedding Photographs
Sam and Paul are getting married later this year and it was a pleasure to meet with them beforehand and take some relaxed pictures and have a chat. We find it beneficial both for ourselves and our clients to have this pre-wedding meeting to further create a relaxed time on their Wedding Day.

Wedding Photography for Sian & Jason at Crondon Park, Billericay
We were recommended to Sian and Jason as Photographers by Jason’s brother Andy, whose Wedding we photographed six years ago. Following a few pictures at their home in Chafford Hundred we photographed the Wedding Ceremony at St Joseph’s Church, Upminster and then onto the Reception at Crondon Park, Billericay. St Joseph’s Church is a lovely light Church which helps our photographs. The steps outside the Church were excellent in helping to arrange the family groups quickly. On arrival at Crondon Park, Sian and Jason wanted some Bride and Groom portraits, which were improved by a lovely day. After socialising with their Guests, Sian and Jason wanted some fun pictures with the Bridal Party, which we were more than happy to oblige and captured some lovely expressions. David and I left the happy couple after the First Dance.

Wedding Photography for Alexandra & Joseph
For Alexandra and Joseph’s Wedding we travelled to Whittlebury Hall Hotel, Northamptonshire, which is adjacent to Silverstone Racing Circuit. The Church at Paulerspury made a lovely setting for the Wedding Ceremony. Unfortunately, due to the weather conditions, photographs were limited to reportage pictures entering and leaving the Church. Whittlebury Hall Hotel was chosen by Alexandra and Joseph as it could admirably cope with their 275 Guests! It was fantastic to see so many ladies with fabulous hats as it was for Cherise’s Wedding which we photographed just over a year ago. We took some lovely pictures of Alexandra and Joseph with some of our favourites being the candid photographs taken throughout the evening.
