Hi all and welcome to my latest sneak peek blog!
Today’s sneak peek is Lisa and Paul's gorgeous day at the amazing Richwill Farm Wedding venue in Essex. This was the first time I have shot a wedding at Richwill and I certainly hope I get to shoot more there, as it was fantastic. I have to note a special thank you to Dean from Hitched Wedding films. Always a pleasure to work with.
The day started at the fantastic Wivenhoe house in Colchester, where Lisa and her Bridal party were getting ready. Sometimes when you arrive at the bridal prep it’s very manic with hustle and bustle, but this was very calm and collected, with a few glasses of bubbly on the go. The bridal party were having their makeup done by the talented Marilyn Morris (link below) who made them all look even more stunning.
After what seems like 5 minutes we were off to Richwill Farm Wedding venue. When I Paul was a the venue meeting his nearest and dearest, so it was a great opportunity to take some lovely natural photos of guests interacting with one another, and some of the venue. Lisa then arrived shortly later in an amazing vintage car from Vintage Dreams. Stunning.
It was soon time for the wedding itself and Lisa looked simply beautiful as she walked down the aisle, especially surrounded by flowers by Sweet P floral design. The two of them literally couldn’t stop smiling at one another throughout the ceremony.
Once the ceremony was completed guests were treated to some delicious canopies, while the bride and groom decamped to have some photos taken with the stunning car. It was soon time to conduct the official group photos that are traditional at a Wedding, and I have to say I think I met my match with Lisa’s Nan! She was a character ha ha!
Before the Wedding breakfast Lisa and Paul took an opportunity to have some photos on a different part of the Richwill estate, which is simply beautiful! There was some team effort from Dean and myself to get a few special shots! TEAM WORK!
It was then time for probably one of the tastiest gourmet buffets I’ve ever had! It was delicious.
The Speeches came next and Lisa gave us all a tear in our eye with reading a birthday card Paul got for her only a week earlier! We also found out their pet names for one another! Ha ha!
Over the following couple of hours Lisa and Paul cut the cake and had their first dance. The sun was still shinning bright so guests grabbed the opportunity to sit outside! It was glorious! As it was a bright sunny day, the golden hour sunset was simply amazing, so using more of the grounds of Richwill Farm Wedding venue we captured a stunning sunset shot! As if that wasn’t enough we then moved onto the pond area and took a photo which is one of my favourites of the day!
Overall Lisa and Pauls day was simply filed with joy! Glorious sunshine and amazing friends and family, along with Richwill providing a stellar service, this was one to remember.

Hi all and welcome to my latest sneak peek blog! Over the past few weeks I have been busy editing SO many shoots, from portrait to Weddings. I have a very busy August coming up, including some much needed annual leave, so I have so much coming up, so stay tuned. I have also now become a featured photographer on UKBride.com which is amazing!
Today’s sneak peek is all about Emma and Dave's special day! Before I captured this beautiful day we took the opportunity to take some gorgeous photos at their reception venue....The stunning Channels Estate Wedding venue in Essex. It wasn't long before their wedding day was here!
This was a totally stunning day, with some amazing moments captured. The day began at Emma’s parents’ house, and all was calm, and Emma and her sister Charlie was having their hair and makeup done by the fantastic Gemini Styling and Alexandra Sullivan. If you’re in need of hair and make-up for a special event then look them up! Gorgeous work. (links below)
Once Emma was pampered and looking stunning we left to St Johns Church in Little Leighs, Essex. This was a simply beautiful Church. Dave looked all ready to go as Emma walked down the aisle with Dad looking very proud! The ceremony was fantastic, with plenty of moments to reflect on and chuckle over! Both Emma and Dave were smiling throughout! There was some amazing music to compliment the day from Timeless Entertainment. Beautiful.
After the ceremony we took the opportunity to take the official group photos outside the church. Whilst this was taking place there was some very moody clouds heading towards us, but luckily didn’t amount to any rain. When the guests moved on, Emma, Dave and myself stayed for a few moments to take some photos in and around the church grounds. It’s always a great time for couples to spend some time with one another away from everyone else. We got some gorgeous shots.
We then moved onto Channels Estate Wedding venue in Essex, which is a totally amazing venue! The grounds were perfect for some more photos including the confetti shot. The speeches and the meal seem to come around so quickly, and before we knew it the first dance was upon us!
Emma and Dave’s Wedding day was stunning, and it was an absolute pleasure to capture! Congratulations to you both!
Here is Emma and Dave’s sneak peek, at the amazing Channels Wedding venue in Essex. Enjoy.

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!

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.

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!
