Hi all and welcome to my latest blog and sneak peek! I am quite behind on the blogging front due to so many work commitments and shoots! 2018 has been a crazy year and I am conscious I haven’t given you all as many sneak peeks as in previous years! Over the coming months I have some “down time” and I am hoping to give you all some amazing sights from this year’s weddings, so stay tuned. I am also in the process of creating another blog titled “Why are wedding Photographers so expensive!” which should give you all an insight about my experiences over the past few years and why we photographers cost so much! These range from equipment to one of my most costly expense……Insurance! I pay more for my photography insurance than I do for my house and car insurance combined! Arghhhh! It will hopefully be an eye opener.

Todays sneak peek is all about Melissa and Alex, who are an AMAZING couple! These guys were an absolute dream to work with! Melissa and Alex exchanged their vows at the stunning Gaynes Park Wedding venue in Essex. Before this totally beautiful wedding, we took the opportunity to take some gorgeous engagement photos at Hatfield Forest in Essex. There are so many stunning areas in Hatfield Forest we were really spoilt for choice, however it was quite busy at the time and we were getting some funny looks by passers-by. It’s a good job I am not a shy individual and we patiently waited for our audience to move on. What really stood out with Melissa and Alex is how easy going they were, but were also quite focused on what they wanted for their day. It was quite clear that friends and family were very important to them, with an extensive guest list, and just wanting everyone to have a great time.

On their wedding day the two of them had the time of their lives! The day started at Melissa’s parent’s house with Melissa’s wonderful Bridal party. There were smiles all around and the first couple of hours flew by. Before we knew it the Bridal area of Gaynes Park awaiting for the Wedding to begin. Surrounded by their friends and family they exchanged their vows in a beautiful ceremony which saw tears of happiness. The day swiftly came onto the group photos and a leading line. Gaynes park was brimming with tables ready for Melissa and Alex’s guests to sit down and have an amazing meal……..this was not before being serenaded by an fantastic Wedding singer Fil Straughan! Check below for his website! 

Guests were soon out of their chairs singing and dancing, which then led to the speeches. The best men speeches were of course a highlight, with some very interesting props, including a card board cut out of the groom himself!

Before the first dance I managed to get a few moments to with Melissa and Alex to capture some great shots. There was so much laughter, it was infectious. This then led to the epic cake cutting a first dance…….and what a first dance this was! WOW!

Overall this was a purely fun and fantastic day. Many thanks to White Dress films who conducting the videography for the day, it was a real pleasure. So here you have it, welcome to my latest sneak peek.
