  • CHRISTENING PHOTOGRAPHY

    Great to see this wonderful family again! This time for the Christening Photography of Charlotte and Paul’s youngest son, Theo. We met them at St Peter’s Church a little while before the start of the service , took a few pictures as they arrived.

    Theo was extremely good during the service, although preferred to put his hand over his face when it was time to get wet!

    We captured a few pictures during the service and afterwards outside a few family pictures.

    A little while later we left to go to Rivenhall Golf Club, Witham, where we took a few requested pictures together with some informal pictures, during lunch.

    Thank you Charlotte and Paul for asking us to carry out the Christening photography of Theo. You have a lovely family and it was a pleasure to be part of Theo’s special day. David and I look forward to the next event!

    Do contact us if you wish cover for a similar event.

  • Outdoor Pictures at Danbury Lakes

    Outdoor Pictures at Danbury Lakes was our venue and meeting place to see Victoria, Lee and Hudson towards the the end of last year. David and I were their Wedding Photographers at their Wedding at Crabbs Barn, Kelvedon, in 2015.

    Since then we have photographed their son, Hudson, and took pictures of their extended family for a present for Victoria’s Mum. It was great, not only did we take a variety of pictures, we all enjoyed ourselves, and caught up on all the news.

    Hudson is a lovely little boy (Mum and Dad are very nice too!). Congratulations to Victoria and Lee on the news of an addition to your family soon. Looking forward to seeing you all again in the next few months. The Outdoor Pictures at Danbury Lakes worked well!

  • New Family Portrait

    A new family portrait for the Pepper family! Always great to meet families again after a few years. Starting with Tina & Stuart’s wedding at Layer Marney back in 2004. We have seen them a few times to update.

    new family portrait

    This main reason this time was a special birthday for Tina’s Mum.

    We took a number of different combinations of the formal and some of the more relaxed style.

    Getting teenagers to relax and have fun is not always easy but the girls were great fun.

    We made a range of prints in colour and black & white for their frames.

    Maybe it’s time for a new family portrait for your family?

  • Home Portraits

    It was lovely to see Anna, Leon and Theo again recently for some Home Portraits. Anna and Leon were married at Leez priory in March this year and we were their Wedding Photographers.

    Anna got in touch with us again after baby Hugo was born. Anna and Leon wanted some pictures of the four of them at their home on Mersea Island. Absolutely fine with us, that’s what we like as well.

    It was a beautiful morning and Theo was happy playing outside as well as co-operating when it came to take some family pictures. Hugo was a couple of weeks old and was so good. Great to see this lovely family again and we ended up with a nice selection of Home Portraits.

  • Family Pictures

    Family pictures was our first job when restrictions were lifted due to Covid-19! We were allowed to take environmental photo shoots observing social distancing. What a lovely family to be our first clients!

    Pictures in the back garden

    We had met Laura and David before when we visited them a few years ago when their daughter Amber was born. Now they had a new addition to the family, Meghan. It was a lovely morning when we met up and it was decided to use their garden as the backdrop to the pictures. We took a variety of pictures, family group pictures and individuals. Meghan was fine throughout the time, sleeping mostly! Amber was quite happy outside, playing with her toys in between some pictures. We had an enjoyable time, keeping your distance worked, although it did feel rather odd as contact in our line of work helps. Still, we managed it and ended up with a nice selection of pictures for the family.

    Lovely to actually get back working again and happy that we are able to take pictures within the restrictions.

  • Family and Individual Pictures

    Toni and Russell got in touch with us again in January this year. This time asking us if we could take some Family and Individual Pictures.

    We have known Toni and Russell for some years now being their Wedding Photographers a few years ago at Layer Marney Tower.

    We first met Aliya last year and took some pictures of her and Mum and Dad as well. As everyone knows young children grow up very quickly and capturing stages of their development is nice to look back on.

    An enjoyable time with this lovely family ending up with some nice Family and Individual Pictures.

  • Christening Photography

    It was lovely to do the Christening Photography for Kai’s Christening earlier in the year. The ceremony was at St Nicolas Church, Witham, during the Family Service. It was a nice service and Kai was so good and fell asleep as well!

    Family and friends joined Claire and Sam at their Son’s Christening and we were there to take some pictures of this happy occasion. As always we are unobtrusive and keep a low profile in Church, but managed to capture informally the important moments.

    Poor Weather

    After the Service as the weather was not playing ball, we took a few requested pictures in the Church. Off we all went to Wickham Bishops Village Hall for lunch. During the afternoon we took a mixture of informal and more formal pictures so that Claire and Sam had memories of the celebration. It was a lovely time and so nice to catch up with lots of people we knew! A memorable event! Lockdown has ended all our Christening Photography for now.

  • Family Pictures

    It was great to meet up with Josie and her family earlier in the year for some Family Pictures. We had tried before but as some of her family were coming from further away the weather prevented them on that particular day from getting into Essex. This agreed date was fine.

    Selection of Pictures

    Josie wanted a selection of pictures taken of her family and as it is hard to get everyone together, this date proved to be one everyone could do. As there were quite a number of them, Josie managed to acquire a room in her local Church for taking the pictures.

    Portable Studio

    This was ideal for us, we just brought along the backdrop required and our lights. A variety of pictures were wanted with ones of the dog as well! No problem. It was a nice afternoon taking these pictures for a lovely family, ending up with some nice pictures. Thank you to Josie for getting everyone together.

  • Family Pictures

    It was lovely to see Emma, David and Luca again. This time we were looking forward to meeting the newest member of the family, Enzo, as well . Emma and David wanted to up date their family pictures and asked us to do so. We went to their home one afternoon to take the pictures.

    The last time we had seen Luca was a few years ago, when he was a baby. A proper little boy now and full of beans! He definitely wanted pictures of him in his Spiderman outfit and we were happy to oblige! A nice afternoon spent with this lovely family. We captured some family pictures as well as individual pictures of the boys.

  • Family Portrait

    It was nice when Paul got in touch with us again towards the end of last year for an updated Family Portrait.

    Paul’s Mum and Dad wanted to up date the canvas picture they had of their three sons. We had taken the previous one 10 years ago! Paul and his Brothers came to us to have their picture taken.

    We kept the arrangement the same aspreviously. The picture was done in next to no time.

    The Family Portrait they chose was printed on canvas and framed in a virtually identical frame.

    Hopefully we’ll be able to do another update in 10 years time!
