Engagement Pictures – It was a warm bright day when we arrived one morning at the home of Emma’s Parents for Emma and James’ Engagement Pictures. After a chat about their Wedding, the lovely garden provided us with opportunities of taking some nice pictures. Emma and James are getting married in the summer at Court Lodge Barn, Stansted, Kent.
When you book our services you will not be pressurised into booking other wedding services for our profit. We earn our living photographing weddings. If you ask for our recommendations we will gladly give them because that supplier or service is known to us as reliable, responsible etc, not for a payment!
Similarly, when a Venue recommends us it is because we do a good job and work well with the other suppliers, not because we pay a commission! We do know of a few Venues who are very insistant that you use specific suppliers, I wonder why?
Should you visit our studio to view our work, there will be no pressure to book. Our clients book because they want us to to a job, not because we pressurised them!
We are looking forward to attending the Heart Wedding Show this weekend. With many Stands to see, this popular Wedding Show is well worth visiting.
Abby and Michael chose The Old Kent Bar, Dover, for their Civil Wedding Ceremony and Reception. Abby got ready in the oldest part of the Barn which had atmospheric oak beams which added to the character of the pictures. The Ceremony was held outdoors in the Gazebo, which was beautifully decorated. After the Ceremony the Guests enjoyed a Drinks Reception on the lawn in the sunshine, whilst we arranged the requested family groups, assisted by Ian Low, the Toastmaster. The Wedding Breakfast was held in the fabulous new Tithe Barn and the meal was excellent. After the Speeches we took Abby and Michael for a few pictures by the lake and around the Barn, briefly interrupted by a fly-past by Abby’s Dad’s plane. As it was such a lovely day, we waited for the wonderful sunset which was a while after the First Dance but well worth the wait. This was our first visit to The Old Kent Barn, Dover, and we were very impressed not only with the Venue itself but with the friendliness of the Owners and staff and hope it will not be too long before we are there again.
Whilst visiting a couple of Kent Wedding Venues, we took the opportunity of meeting Maria and Kevin again in Dover for their pre-wedding pictures. We enjoyed strolling around Russel Gardens, capturing some lovely images of Maria and Kevin as well as discussing final details of their Wedding in a few weeks time.
