Laura was getting ready for her Wedding at the Middiford Barn, Great Wigborough, which is where our coverage of Laura and Shane’s Wedding started. It was a dry, pleasant day but very windy so we took a few pictures of Laura inside the Barn rather than outside. 
After a little while we left to go to Crabbs Barn, Kelvedon, and once there took a few pictures of Shane before Laura arrived.
Following the Civil Ceremony everybody socialised outside during the Drinks Reception. Some requested family group pictures were taken in between capturing the atmosphere and informal pictures.
Just before the Wedding Breakfast, Laura, we spent a few minutes around Crabbs Barn creating some pictures of Laura and Shane. The early evening sun after the Wedding Breakfast and Speeches gave us a wonderful opportunity for a few more photographs of the happy couple before their evening Guests arrived. Once it was dark Laura and Shane released a few illuminated balloons before their First Dance .

Thank you 2012 and Happy New Year
This post is a a big thank you to all our clients from 2012 and our New Year Resolutions for 2013.
Wedding photography will be our main area again during 2013 with an increasing number of family portraits.We will of course continue our endeavours to provide excellence in what we provide and how we provide it! Thank you to the venues that currently recommend us for what we do and how we do it, as we still believe it is wrong to be recommended solely on a commission basis.
We aim to be further inspired by some of the world’s greatest artists and photographers and not just slavishly copy them. All the wedding pictures in our galleries are and will continue to be from real weddings, not photo-shoots, something that we know a few of our ‘peers’ may struggle with!
We aim to work even more closely with our clients to achieve images that are very special for them and also for our portfolio.
A Happy New Year to all our all our friends in the trade and clients old and new.

Wedding Photography for Victoria & Michael – St Leonard's Church, Lexden & Westwood Park, Colchester
When we arrived at Victoria’s Parents’ house, preparations were in full swing, everything going well, lots of details and action for us to capture. Mum and Dad’s garden was spectacular and even though it was very hot with the sun shining, we all wanted to take some pictures in the wonderful setting.
With images captured, it was time for us to leave for St Leonard’s Church, Lexden. Michael, his Best Man and Ushers were greeting Guests when we arrived and in between arrivals we managed to get some pictures of them all. Not long afterwards, Victoria arrived at the Church with her Father and they made their way into the Church. Fortunately, we were able to photograph from the Balcony in this lovely Church, capturing some lovely images. 
Some family group pictures were taken after the service, before going to Westwood Park. With many of the big group pictures being taken at the Church, Victoria and Michael had plenty of time to socialise at Westwood Park. Fun Bridal Party pictures happened during the afternoon as well as some Bride and Groom portraits around the beautiful grounds. With endless photographic opportunities, it was really nice that Victoria and Michael wanted to take advantage.
After the ‘Everybody’ picture by the Lake it was time for the Wedding Breakfast, followed by the Speeches. With timings working out well, and as the sun was going down, a few extra pictures were taken of Victoria and Michael.
Evening Guests arrived before the First Dance and not long afterwards we left them all to the celebrations. -

Wedding Photography for Nerys & Chris – Parklands, Quendon Hall
What a beautiful day Nerys and Chris chose for their Wedding at Parklands, on the Essex and Hertfordshire border! As we arrived, the men were finishing their preparations downstairs in the house whilst Nerys was upstairs, about to move rooms to get dressed and have some pictures taken.
Having plenty of time and being in the splendid ‘red room’ (room l) we were very happy! Following the Civil Ceremony, everybody went outside to enjoy a Drinks Reception in the warm sunshine. Nerys and Chris requested some group pictures which we arranged whilst the Guests enjoyed playing the garden games, which provided laughter and fun, and some amusing pictures! Leaving the Guests for a little while ,Nerys, Chris and ourselves went for a short time around the grounds of Parklands.
The Wedding Breakfast and Speeches followed, before the evening celebrations. Nerys and Chris wowed their Guests with a fantastic rehearsed First Dance routine and we said goodbye to them after taking a couple of pictures outside the front of Parklands. -
Wedding Photography for Karen & Gary – Prested Hall, Feering
It was a cloudy but dry start to Karen and Gary’s Wedding Day when we arrived at Prested Hall, Feering. Karen and her Bridesmaids were getting ready upstairs and after photographing some detail pictures and capturing preparations, some formal photographs of them all were taken. David took Gary and his Groomsmen for their pictures in the grounds before the Civil Ceremony. The Oak Room at Prested Hall was where the Civil Ceremony took place and this was followed by Karen and Gary greeting their Guests during the Drinks reception. With the weather not playing ball at this time, everybody socialised inside, waiting for the shower of rain to pass. The sun came out, making for some nice relaxed pictures outside and allowed us to take a leisurely stroll around Prested Hall for some pictures of Karen and Gary.
Following the Wedding Breakfast and coverage of the Speeches Karen and Gary took a few moments to enjoy an early evening stroll around the grounds which enabled us to captures some relaxed picures, finishing in a nice sunset shot.
Cake and First Dance followed with some pictures of their Evening Guests and a picture of Karen and Gary in the oak beamed main room, before the end of the day for us. -
Family Photographs
It was nice to see Hale, Giles and Adam again and to meet Anna for the first time. Hale and Giles were married a few years ago at The Room at the Rodings and we had the pleasure of photographing their Wedding. In 2010 we took some family pictures of Hale, Giles and Adam and they now wanted a few of Anna on her own as well as with them.
