Studio Engagement Portraits – Richard and Lucy came to see us recently for their pre-wedding chat about their special day and we also did a few Studio Engagement Portraits. Richard and Lucy are getting married soon at The Reid Rooms, Margaret Roding, Dunmow.
Pre-Wedding Pictures – We met up with Leanne and Darren not long before their Wedding at The Fennes Estate, Bocking, to talk over their plans for their special day. With details finalised we took a few pre-wedding pictures.
Wedding Photography Maidens Barn – We were pleased to be asked to photography Helen and William’s Autumn Wedding at Maidens Barn, Dunmow. Helen was getting ready in the superb Farmhouse and preparations were well underway when we arrived. After photographing these, it wasn’t long before William and his Groomsmen arrived. With the weather holding David went off to photograph them outside the Barn whilst I stayed in the Farmhouse. Shortly afterwards Helen, her Parents and Bridesmaids were all ready for a few pictures. The Farmhouse provided some nice spots for Helen’s portraits before it was time for the Civil Ceremony. With the Guests seated in the Barn, Helen entered with her Father accompanied by her Bridesmaids, Flowergirls and Pageboy. After the Ceremony, Helen and William led their Guests to the Drinks Reception and socialised for a little while. With the rain holding off and making use of the covered areas around Maidens Barn we took the requested family group pictures. A Magician entertained the Guests during the afternoon and after Helen and Guy had been shown some tricks, we took them for a quick walk around Maidens Barn for their pictures. Not having much time to spare as the rain was threatening we managed to achieve some nice images with the Autumn colours, just before the shower! Confetti pictures followed before the start of the Wedding Breakfast. Speeches were after the meal. When it was time for the Best Man’s Speech, it was delivered by Oliver, as he was the Best Man and assisted by Gemma, his wife, who happened to be Helen’s Matron of Honour! Being there to capture the emotions was wonderful, even though it was a touch difficult for us as we were crying with laughter and having a job to see through our cameras! A superbly funny speech! Evening Guests arrived a little while later and we took a few evening pictures before the cake cutting and First Dance. Our day ended with some night pictures of Helen and Guy outside. A lovely day!
Engagement Pre-Wedding portrait – We met Helen and William not long before their Wedding at Maidens Barn, to go through their final details of their day and take a few pictures of them.
Pre-wedding pictures – We met Sophie and Jamie at Sophie’s Parents’ home one morning for their pre-wedding pictures. It was an ideal opportunity to take a look around as their Wedding Reception was to be held there and to complete the details of their forthcoming Wedding.
Tomorrow, Sunday 22 February, we will be displaying our wedding books at the beautiful Parklands, Quendon Hall Open Day, from 11.0am to 4.0pm. Please call in for an informal chat and see how we can help make your wedding memories happy. We look forward to meeting there.
The beautiful Turkey Mill Wedding Venue, in Maidsone, Kent, was where Lisahhjj and Colin picked for their Civil Ceremony and Reception. Before going there we travelled to Lisa and Colin’s home which is where Lisa was getting ready and where we met up with David of Rideout Productions. Everything was going well and on time and we captured some nice images together with the details shots. Once everybody was ready we took a few pictures before leaving to go to Turkey Mill. Although we had been to Turkey Mill before, this was our first time photographing a Wedding there. The landscaped gardens looked lovely and with such wonderful weather it looked extra beautiful. We found Colin and his Groomsmen and took their pictures in between Guests’ arrival pictures. Lisa arrived with her Mum, who was giving her away, at the front of Turkey Mill and we were able to take a few pictures of Lisa on her own as well as with her Mum before the Ceremony. Together with her Bridesmaids they then made their way over the bridge towards the Orangery where the Ceremony was held. Afterwards Lisa and Colin stepped out onto the lawn and greeted their Guests before the requested family pictures were taken. Later as the Guests continued to enjoy the Drinks Reception we took Lisa and Colin for a short walk for a few pictures of them together, before returning to take the confetti pictures. The Wedding Breakfast was held in the Garden Room, followed by the Speeches. Lisa and Colin wanted to make the most of this wonderful Wedding Venue so we were more than happy to go for a different walk around the grounds, including the Turkey Mill Pond and the tumbling Waterfall. Turkey Mill in the evening provided Lisa and Colin with wonderful backdrops which we captured. As for Lisa and Colin’s First Dance, wow! A great rehearsed dance, so good! A wonderful day, a lovely couple, a superb Wedding Venue and great to see Sarah and Will again and their family, thank you for recommending us! Oh yes, and in case you don’t take our word for it we recognised Turkey Mill as the setting for the wedding of Dr Watson in the recent Sherlock series on BBC 1!
We met Amanda and Damien again just before their Wedding at Gosfield Hall, Essex, for their pre-wedding pictures meeting.
Today I have been covering the Doe Show at Ulting Essex reportage photography style was the order of the day. Lots of farmers, construction workers and students from across the South East of England.

We look forward to seeing some of you again soon.
