Turkey Mill Wedding Photography – Lisa & Colin
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!

The Fennes Estate Wedding Photography – Danielle & Tom
Fennes was the chosen Wedding Venue for Danielle and Tom’s Wedding Day. From the moment we stepped through the door excitement was plentiful! The girls were busily getting ready and with lots to photograph there was no time to lose! Everything was going well downstairs with the men making sure they were looking their best and getting ready for their pictures to be taken. Once the girls were ready we took a few portraits, also including Danielle’s parents. The Civil Ceremony was held in the Pavilion and afterwards everybody went outside. Following a few family pictures and capturing some informal shots, it was time for a few together pictures of Danielle and Tom around the grounds. We had an enjoyable time taking the Bridal Party fun pictures later. Danielle and Tom received their Guests before they entered the Marquee for the Wedding Breakfast. Irie J provided the entertainment during this time and it was great to see him again. Coverage of the Speeches provided us with some wonderful relaxed pictures. Evening Guests arrived later and after capturing some couple shots, it was time for the First Dance, with Irie J singing again. Not long afterwards we left them all to continue the celebrations. A lovely day and nice to work with White Dress Films again.

Fennes Wedding Photography – Emily & Geoffrey
It was a beautiful day when we arrived at The Fennes Estate for the pictures of Emily’s final preparations for her Wedding Day. After taking some photographs upstairs, we used the opportunity of using the Gold Room for a few pictures before making our way to the Church. All Saints Church, Cressing was where we went to and met Geoffrey, his Ushers and Best Man for their pictures. We used the shade and coolness of the Church door for their pictures before it was time for Geoffrey to go inside. Emily arrived soon afterwards and took her Mother’s arm as they walked up the path and into the Church. Once the service had finished, Emily and Geoffrey came out of the Church followed by their Guests. After a couple of pictures and confetti pictures it was time to leave for the Reception. Fennes looked stunning in the sunshine and as we arrived with Emily and Geoffrey we made the most of the setting for their pictures whilst the Guests were arriving. The Guests enjoyed the Drinks Reception outside whilst requested family group pictures took place later. Following the Speeches after the Wedding Breakfast everybody had time to enjoy the evening sunshine before the cake cutting and First Dance. We left feeling happy and confident we had recorded the events of Emily and Geoffrey’s Wedding Day in a good way.

Viewing of Fellowship pictures
Last year I was awarded a Fellowship from The British Institute of Professional Photography in Wedding Photography. A Fellowship is an extremely difficult level to achieve in any discipline but particularly in weddings, as there are so many variables which are outside the photographer’s control! Finally we had the chance yesterday evening to present the pictures to a selection of friends, neighbours, suppliers, Registrars and of course a few local photographers.
The evening was enjoyable and a great success. Thank you to all those who attended and particularly to Michael of The Art & Framing Centre who provided us the space to host the event.
As far as I am aware I am currently the only working Wedding Fellow in Essex. Here are a selection of the pictures, please do contact us if you would like to view them all.

Baby Pictures
It was lovely to see Jo and Alex again, the last time we saw them was on their Wedding Day at The Fennes Estate, Bocking, in 2009. Jo and Alex wanted some baby pictures of their daughter, Emily, and we more than happy to oblige. Emily was brilliant and we are looking forward to taking some more pictures of her in the coming months.

Prested Hall Wedding Photography – Marisa & Jamie
As we arrived at Prested Hall for the Wedding of Marisa & Jamie it was already a windy and chilly day. Whilst David went to find the Jamie and the Men, I went to find Marisa with the girls. Everything was running very smoothly with time for some lovely informal pictures together with the arranged portraits. Marisa had the company of her Parents and Sister as well as other family members who had come over from Canada for the Wedding. Unfortunately with the weather not being kind, the planned outdoor Ceremony had to be transferred inside, but that didn’t deter it from being a lovely Ceremony. Marisa and Jamie wanted their pictures outside and as the weather had improved slightly we were happy to oblige! Working quickly we managed not to keep anybody too long! During the Drinks Reception, we took the Bridal Party to the Bridge for some fun pictures before the Wedding Breakfast. The Marquee was where the Wedding Breakfast was held and after the Speeches everybody returned to the House. With the Casino being provided by Diamond Fun Casino and the Guests socialising we took a few relaxed pictures before the First Dance and dancing. Our day ended with finishing photographs of Marisa and Jamie relaxing in the oak beamed lounge at Prested Hall.
