ESSEX WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER: A GORGEOUS WEDDING AT CRONDON PARK ESSEX.

July 04, 2019  •  Leave a Comment

Hi all and welcome to my latest sneak peek blog!

I am really trying to make more time for blogging my latest sneak peeks over the coming months as its come clear that I am rather busy actually capturing weddings and family portrait shoots. Over the coming weeks I aim to get these sneak peeks out swiftly for everyone to see!

Today’s sneak peek is Donna and Dan’s wedding at the amazing Crondon Park Wedding venue in Essex. Crondon Park will always have a special place for me as this is where I got married. I met Donna and Dave after the wonderful team at Crondon shared a beautiful photo I captured there in March 2018. I met Donna and Dan for a family shoot a couple of months before the wedding at the fantastic Thorndon Country park near Brentwood, Essex.  These guys are just the nicest couple, and it was a real joy to be able to be involved in their day.

Donna’s day began with the bridal party preparing at Greenwoods, just a stone’s throw away from Crondon Park. It was a wonderful opportunity to take some natural shots of everyone interacting with one another, including a few gorgeous shots of Donna’s children (VERY CUTE!). I would say the shot of mother of the bride having her hair done was the highlight ha ha.

Once ready the party moved to the new bridal suite at Crondon Park, which is beautiful. A few stunning shots later (along with some prosecco of course) it was time to get married! The newly decorated ceremony room looked gorgeous as Donna walked down the aisle to meet Dan. There were a few eyes welling up even at this point.

Once completed, Dan and Donna took the opportunity to spend time with their friends and family before having the official group photos. This was hindered slightly by the VERY wet weather. However we embraced this and went outside for some shots in the rain. It was STUNNING!

The time soon ticked on and before we knew it everyone was sitting down to the BEST steak and Ale pie! Who I wondered finished theirs? It was enormous! As always the food was amazing.

Then came the speeches which had everyone in stiches, most notably from the fathers of the bride. At this point we took advantage of the rain stopping so we went outside and took some fantastic photos of the gorgeous grounds of Crondon Park, and also a highlight an amazing very wet bouncy castle photo with the bridal party. Hilarious! Quote from Donna “I’ve paid for it, we are going to use it!” ha ha!

Things swiftly moved to the first dance, which involved the totally fabulous The Redfords! Find them over on Facebook! They are awesome!

Donna and Dan’s day was filled with fun and laughter, and it’s a day they definitely won’t forget!

Thank you to the staff at Crondon Park for being amazing as always and Donna and Dan for choosing me to capture your day. 

Here's a special shout out to Alison White Wedding Flowers - for the amazing flowers! Stunning work! The cake was made by the very talented Jennifer Cakes! Another stunning cake. You can find their work on Facebook and Instagram. Gorgeous!

ESSEX WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER: A STUNNING WEDDING AT THE WHITE HART, GREAT YELDHAM ESSEX.

June 20, 2019  •  Leave a Comment

Hi all, and welcome to my latest sneak peek blog! As promised, I have started to proactively type up blog posts regularly. I have already completed a further 2 posts ready for the sneak peeks to be edited, so stay tuned.

Today’s sneak peek blog is about Clare and Craig – an amazing couple who got married at the fantastic The White Hart, Great Yeldham in Essex. I shot numerous weddings here and love it every time. It’s a beautiful venue!

The day started with Clare and her bridal party getting ready together in the White Hart itself. There was a very relaxed atmosphere when I arrived and this continued throughout the day. All the girls were getting ready and having their hair and makeup done by the fabulous Elaine from Right and Fine Hair design and Faye Neill (both on Instagram and Facebook!) and they looked stunning.  We were then joined by Clare’s flower girl who I have to say nearly stole the show! Very very cute!

As guests arrived the bridal party then began to get into their dresses and before we knew it Craig had arrived with the roomsmen, in style of course!

As I headed to the ceremony, I was greeted by numerous guests who were excited to see Clare in her dress. The ceremony room was packed full of friends and family, including a very proud father and mother of the bride.

The ceremony was literally full of smiles and laughter! It’s evidenced itself when you see Craig’s face! There are some hilarious shots, just see for yourself.

After the ceremony Clare and Craig escaped for a “while” in the gorgeous car from Simons white Wedding cars – and had a few glasses of the fizzy stuff on route. When they arrived back, there was a lot of giggling going (I believe alcohol related) on before they started the confetti shot! Group shots came next with everyone giving them “big grin” smiles.

We then moved onto the Wedding breakfast and speeches, which had so many laughs and tears which all good Wedding speeches should have!

After a quick sparkler shot, we went onto cutting the cake and the first dance, but it wasn’t long before Gangnam style had the guests dancing, with amazing results.

So here are some fantastic shots from Clare and Craig’s special day.

Thank you to the guys at True Reflection cinematography it was a pleasure to work with you.

ESSEX WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER: A BEAUTIFUL REID ROOMS WEDDING IN ESSEX.

June 09, 2019  •  1 Comment

Hi all and welcome to my latest sneak peek blog post! Well what a year it has been so far. So many 2020 bookings are coming in and my wonderful 2019 Wedding season is now in full flow. I do have many projects that I want to get started to bring you new content, however Weddings and family portraits are flooding in, which you all know I love to capture. There are so many sneak peeks coming soon, I will try and keep up.

I have been so lucky to capture Weddings at Prested Hall, Channels Estate Wedding venue and Crondon Park already this year, and todays sneak peek is Laura and Andy’s amazing day, captured at the gorgeous Reid Rooms in Essex. I have shot numerous stunning weddings at the Reid Rooms, and this was no different.

The day was warm and sunny and there was a perfect opportunity to capture some natural shots of the childrenrunning around and being monkeys, as well as Laura and her immediate family preparing and getting ready.

The time flew and before we knew it, the ceremony had started with Andy waiting patiently for the stunning Laura to walk up the aisle. The ceremony was filled with smiles and laughter throughout! Once the formalities were completed, we took advantage of the amazing weather (ironically it had rained all week!) by everyone staying outside to capture the traditional group shots including many fantastic shots of the children who kept me on my toes.

As with all weddings, the entertainment mostly comes from the friends and family, and there were some truly hilarious individuals (CHERYL!) that made my job the best it can be.

After a fantastic hog roast the speeches took place along with the usual “face in the hands” moments. It’s always great to capture these moments. Whilst this was all going on, the amazing band 6 String Makeover was setting up ready for the first dance. If you ever want a band I can highly recommend them!


Overall the day was filled with great moments. Thank you for the amazing staff at the Reid Rooms, and also to Paul Turner from Paul Turner Photography for your assistance throughout the day!

ESSEX WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER : A STUNNING WEDDING AT CRONDON PARK, ESSEX.

March 01, 2019  •  1 Comment

Hi all and welcome to my latest sneak peek! Over the past few weeks I have been so busy with meetings for my Wedding diary for 2019 and 2020 that I am slightly behind with my sneak peeks from my 2018 weddings. I would love to complain about being so busy but I really can’t as I love it so much! March is not going to be any different with meetings and shoots coming up, just before my first weddings of 2019! Pop over to my Facebook and Instagram profiles for more sneak peeks from those.

So now onto my latest sneak peek! I was recommended to Rachel and Rob via one of Rachel’s work colleagues, and it’s always a real pleasure to meet new people via others you have worked with before. When I first met Rachel then first thing I noticed that she was always smiling! Throughout the engagement shoot and of course during her Wedding day. Rob as like many of my other grooms I have captured weddings for was very reserved and was quite shy when it came to having his photo taken. The engagement shoot and meeting took place at the stunning (and muddy if I remember) Hylands Park in Chelmsford Essex. Once we had a brief meeting about their day, we took an opportunity to capture some shots of them two of them.

On their Wedding day, Rachel and Rob chose the fabulous Crondon Park, Wedding venue in Essex. I have a soft spot for this venue as I got married there coming up to 10 years ago.  I started my day at the mother of the bride’s house where Rachel’s bridal party were getting ready for the big day. After this we moved onto the then newly finished Bridal suite at Crondon Park. What a gorgeous room, and a great place to get some fun photos. It wasn’t long before the Wedding ceremony was in full swing and Rachel and Rob were on cloud 9, being surrounded by their friends and family. After the ceremony we grabbed a few moments of dry weather to capture some group shots, before a few spots of rain began to fall on Essex. We of course embraced this and took the opportunity to get the umbrellas out.

The rest of the day appeared to just fly by with the Wedding breakfast, speeches, cake cutting and of course the first dance. Rachel and Rob had a fantastic day, surrounded by the people they love. Crondon Park Wedding venue is beautiful and I cannot wait to return there this year. So without further a due here are Rachel and Robs sneak peek. Enjoy.

ESSEX WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER : MY FAVOURITE WEDDINGS OF 2018

February 14, 2019  •  Leave a Comment

Hi all and welcome to my latest blog! Well these last few weeks have been rather manic with bookings for 2020 coming in and arranging shoots and meetings for the rest of the year. I have recently announced that I have closed my wedding bookings for 2019 due to being so busy. This hasn’t been an easy decision as I am still getting many enquiries for this year, but I really want to provide the best service to my customers, and “overbooking” can impact this service.

Before I start leaping into my weddings of 2019, I really want to re-visit my favourite images of 2018. 2018 was an amazing year, with SO many weddings and family shoots. I have worked with some fantastic wedding suppliers like Bumble Bee Bridal and venues like Crondon Park and Gaynes Park which I have now added links to their sites. Follow the link below to see more!

Recommended Suppliers and Venues 

Now onto my favourite 2018 moments. There have been so many to choose from, and cropping them down to these few wasn’t easy! Over the coming weeks I shall be doing more sneak peeks with the upcoming shoots and Weddings, so stay tuned. Enjoy my favourite moments of 2018.
