The wedding photography of Stephanie & Simon, Great St. Marys, Sawbridgeworth & Quendon Hall, Parklands.
I had a really close call with the weather today, I thought it was going to start pouring down from the moment I arrived! Thankfully though, we managed to get all of our pictures outside.
Special mention has to go to Rick and Linda who spent all winter preparing their garden for the wedding! Many thanks to Rick for the guided tour of the grounds, it just goes to show how good a garden can look if you’re willing to put some effort in! I am not worthy…
Stephanie wasn’t ready when I arrived, of course, in fact, she was still at the hairdressers! It wasn’t a problem though, we had plenty of time. It wasn’t too long before all the girls were ready and we got some great shots of them in Ricks garden. Lovely.
When I arrived at the church, there was nobody there! I had a small moment of doubt, was it the right church??? Of course it was, everybody and I mean everybody was at the pub! Small note to self, head straight to the pub, bypass the church…
Anyway, everyone arrived on time, and the service soon began. Great St. Mary’s is a lovely church for photographs, the grounds are nice and the interior is quite bright. Sadly though, as is often the case with church weddings, we were restricted to a couple of shots from the back of the church.
After the service we had ample time to cover the formal photography in the grounds of St. Mary’s. We finished with the confetti shot at the gate and then headed on to…
Parklands.
Sorry everyone, I didn’t manage to get the name of the company who owned the fabulous car…
Anyway, back to Parklands, Quedon Hall, it is always stunning. Stephanie was very cold, I gave her the choice inside, or out? For her, there simply wasn’t a choice, it had to be outside. Not once did I hear her complain about being cold.
We got a selection of photographs outside, covering all of the grounds. I have to admit, we were a lot quicker than normal, I was really worried that the heavens were going to open any minute!!!
Many thanks to Kevin, who took his Best Man duties seriously, and really helped round people up and keep things moving… however, no thanks go to Kevin for shouting through the window how warm it was inside!!! Cheers mate, we were just a little chilly outside!
Here’s an unusual photograph, me!!!! As taken by the Grooms Mum, it’s me and Kevin, the Best Man. With a little help on the framing she could be a really great photographer!!!
Thank you very much Stephanie & Simon, and all the guests, I had a lovely time. I’m really sorry you guys didn’t have the weather you hoped for, but all said and done, it was a great day as far as I’m concerened.

Louise & Neil, Boreham House, Chelmsford, Essex.

The wedding photography of Neil and Louise at Boreham House, Chelmsford, Essex
My first wedding yesterday at Chelmsfords newest wedding venue Boreham House.
What can I say, it was absolutely fantastic!!! The building is sublime, the setting perfect, I don’t have a single bad thing to say about it. The great thing is, I think it’s probably going to get a lot better too!
Louise was really relaxed, which I always find a little un-nerving, it’s so rare! I expect to walk into a room full of nervous people, not peace and calm!
Anyway, I got some lovely shots of the exterior and interiors, along with some photography of the lovely flowers in the brand spanking new (bloody expensive) pavilion.
Neil arrived on time, fetched by Steve at Boreham House, in his Bentley. I asked Steve if he’d mind if I borrowed his car, he gave me a funny look and politely refused.
Please note the ‘Starsky and Hutch’ pose…
The service went without a hitch, the lovely Sonia of Chelmsford Registry office, who I haven’t seen in ages, took the ceremony. Lovely to see you again Sonia!
The ceremony room is gorgeous, the carved fire surrounds work well with the colour of the room and the chandelier is lovely too. The Bride and Groom stood opposite the French doors, which meant we had some lovely natural light.
After the wedding service, I managed to get some great photographs of the Bride and Groom in the interiors of the house. I love the Henry VIII staircase, the colour of the wood is just beautiful and there are a lot of opportunities for some great photos.
Obviously we had to get some photographs of the Bride and Groom in the front of the house, the pillars are magnificent.
After these we moved to the rear of Boreham House, and got some great formal photographs of the family and some fun candid photography of the guests.
Everyone seemed to be in good spirits, the bridesmaids were well behaved, Neil’s Dad was lovely. A really pleasant afternoon, all in all.
Boreham House is going to be the most sought after venue in the Chelmsford area, I have absolutely no doubt about it, I feel privileged to be their recommended photographer! I know that sounds cheesy, but there are some places that you actually feel honoured to be, and this one of them.
Alright, I’ll stop gushing now, before I make you sick! I’ll keep you up to date with more weddings in the future…

Welcome to the world little Mortimer

Well, not technically true, you’ve been here for just over 6 months now, but it’s the first time I’ve met you!
A lovely little portrait session, with the incredibly placid little Mortimer. If only all babies were like this... easy going and very happy just lounging around.
A great set of prints, a nice photo session, a fantastic way to earn a living!

Anna & Chris were married at Vaulty Manor, in Goldhanger in Essex on Saturday 27th February! The weather was fairly kind to us, but unfortunately it was COLD... All in all, I think that everything went exceptionally well, and I bet you couldn’t tell that Anna is 5 months pregnant either.... Doesn’t she look amazing?
