  • Prested Hall Wedding Photography for Anna & Chris

    Prested Hall Wedding Photography – It was an early start for us arriving at Anna’s Parents’ home for the preparation pictures.  It was a beautiful day, and preparations were well underway. After capturing the getting ready shots, it was time for a few pictures in the garden which Anna’s Dad had worked so hard on to provide a nice backdrop.  It was sunny and very humid so we took the garden pictures as quickly as we could! Essex Wedding Photographer David and I then left to go St Nicolas Church, Witham. Chris and his Groomsmen were at the Church when we arrived and we managed to take a few pictures of them in between their duties.  It wasn’t long before Anna arrived, driven to the Church by her Dad in the E-Type Jag. With all the Guests in the Church she made her way up the path and into the Church with her Dad followed by the Bridesmaids. During the service there was an almighty downpour which was quickly followed by brilliant sunshine!  At the end of the Ceremony, Anna and Chris led their Guests out of the Church for some requested family photographs. Once these were finished everybody made their way to the gate for the confetti pictures, before leaving for the Reception. Wedding Photographer Essex Anna and Chris wanted some pictures with the car along the driveway to Prested Hall, which we were happy to do.  Timings were perfect, us arriving, getting set up just as they turned into the driveway.  It was a great fun session with Anna and Chris also rehearsing (without music!) their dance steps for later, with us getting the fun images we wanted.  Anna and Chris then joined their Guests for the Drinks Reception whilst we took a few informal pictures. A little while later as we were starting to organise the everybody picture, the rain made another appearance!  The Wedding Breakfast beckoned!  After the meal, we covered the Speeches, which was then followed by a second attempt at the ‘everybody’ picture with more  success this time!  Before the start of the evening celebrations and the arrival of their evening Guests, we took the happy couple for a short walk around the grounds of Prested Hall for a few relaxed pictures.  Being a day of good but mixed weather, they ended up with a brilliant sunset picture as well as a rainbow picture!Wedding Photographer Essex Essex Wedding Photographer Later Anna and Chris’ s rehearsed First Dance wowed their Guests before they joined them on the dance floor.  It was nice to see familiar family members again. An amazing Wedding!

  • Commercial Photography

    Commercial Photography is not something we cover a great deal, as we are so busy photographing weddings that we really do not get much time!  This job was to capture finished rooms for a local Interior Design and Decoration business run by Paul Walden.  Unfortunately, we did not meet Paul in time to do the ‘before’ as well at the ‘finished’ pictures but here’s looking forward to his next project.

  • Braintree Registry Office & Crofters Wine Bar Wedding – Lara & Mark

    Braintree Registry Office Wedding – We were pleased to be asked to photograph the Wedding of Lara and Mark at Braintree Registry Office.  Lara was Bridesmaid at her sister Leanne’s Wedding earlier last year at The Barn Brasserie, Great Tey  which we photographed. Now it was role reversal time for Lara and Leanne!  On arrival at the Registry Office we met Mark, his Best Man and Ushers and took a few pictures of them. It wasn’t long before Lara arrived, looking lovely, accompanied by her daughter, Mum, Dad and Leanne.  It was a dry, bright, but chilly day, so after a few photographs, everybody went inside for the Civil Ceremony. The requested family group pictures were taken before we took Lara and Mark for a very quick but short walk away from the Guests for their pictures. It’s quite a while since we last photographed a Braintree Registry Office wedding but we have done so many over the years that it did not take may seconds to refamiliarise ourselves with surroundings! The Reception was held at Crofters Wine Bar, Witham, and during the afternoon we captured the relaxed atmosphere of the day, which Lara and Mark wanted to achieve.

  • Wedding Photography for Cara & Ben – The Essex Barn at The White Hart, Great Yeldham

    Cara was busy with her final preparations when we arrived at her home, which we captured before leaving to go to St Nicolas Church, Witham for the Church service. Guests were arriving but we were able to take squeeze in a few pictures of Ben with his Best Men and Ushers before Cara arrived.  Following the Ceremony and a few family group pictures in the Churchyard Cara and Ben were showered in confetti at the gate, before leaving for The White Hart at Great Yeldham. wedding-photographer-essex-st-nicolas church-witham Whilst all the Guests were arriving, Cara and Ben wanted to get their together pictures taken  in the grounds, before mingling with their Guests in the Drinks Reception.wedding-photographer-essex-the white-hart-great-yeldham Later after a discussion with Hayley, the Wedding Co-Ordinator, we decided the best time to do the ‘everybody’ shot was when the Guests moved between the Drinks Reception and the Wedding Breakfast.  After the Wedding Breakfast we captured the expressions of the Speeches before Guests exited the Barn to enjoy the evening sun.  This was an opportunity to complete the pictures of the day.wedding-photographer-essex-the white hart-great yeldham Our finishing pictures were of Cara and Ben dancing the night away.
