Stephanie & Lee's Wedding at The Lawn, Rochford

Sunday the 29th saw us in Essex for the wedding of Stephanie and Lee at The Lawn. They had a lovely ceremony, surrounded by their friends and family. The day went well despite a couple of showers, the new Orangery looked amazing and was a lovely setting for the wedding breakfast. As the day progressed the sun began to shine and there wasn't a cloud in the sky when we left!

Laura & Steve's Wedding at Waltham Abbey Church & Town Hall

Saturday's wedding was at Waltham Abbey Church with their reception at Waltham Abbey Town Hall - just across the road! We took most of the group photos in the gardens behind the Church, but just as the guests were about to throw confetti the heavens opened! The rest of the pictures were taken inside the Town Hall. The reception was in the Cornmill Suite, a beautiful Hog Roast & Buffet was laid on and everyone partied into the night.

Liz & Lee's Wedding at Stoke By Nayland Golf Club, Nr Colchester

Friday the 27th saw us travel to Stoke By Nayland Golf Club, Nr Colchester in Essex for the wedding of Elisabeth & Lee. It was our 1st visit to this picturesque location, with it's great views across the golf course and lakes from the ceremony & reception rooms. Liz & Lee have been together for 10 years and were surrounded by their lovely familes on their big day.

Jo & Jeff's Wedding in Kimpton

Saturday the 21st and we're in Kimpton for the wedding of Jo & Jeff at their [very] local church of St Peter & St Paul. We rarely get a Bride who walks to the church but yesterday we did, the whole wedding party in fact walked that 100 yards! Their reception was held in the same village - so after the ceremony everyone walked to the Kimpton Memorial Hall for an English tea party with fine china and scones, typical English weather threatened a couple of times but nothing came of it and everyone enjoyed the nibbles outside before going into the beautifully decorated [chamber pots full of amazing flowers as centrepieces!] hall for the wedding breakfast. Great day had by all.

Sarah & Sean's Wedding at St Michael's Church & Sopwell House Hotel

Friday the 20th and we're in St Albans for the wedding of Sarah & Sean - the day seemed to fly by! We only covered 4 hours but Sarah & Sean got 599 pictures in their gallery! They were a dream to photograph, their guests were lovely & added to two beautiful venues we had a great day. Have a brilliant honeymoon!

Jennifer & Stuart's Wedding at South Farm, Shingay-Cum-Wendy

Tuesday the 17th & we're on the borders of Hertfordshire & Cambridgeshire for the wedding of Jennifer & Stuart at South Farm, Near Royston. South Farm is one of our favourite venues, the gardens, the house, the barn and the animals all give it 10/10 from us! Jen & Stuart made the best of the weather, a little rain before the ceremony meant it was re-located indoors to the conservatory but the weather did everyone proud for the photos - but once everyone was inside and well fed [amazing food!] it chucked it down during the speeches!

Natalie & Lee's Wedding at Fanham's Hall

August the 15th and we're at Fanham's Hall in Ware for the wedding of Natalie & Lee. Fanham's is always picture perfect and Sunday was no exception. Natalie & Lee's day was huge fun, great people, lots of laughter & team usher was on top form. Special mention for the speeches which were first class!

Andi & Jon's Wedding at Easthampstead Park Conference Centre

Andi & Jon got married on Saturday the 14th - despite the day being interspersed with a few showers everyone enjoyed their day at Easthampstead with it's wonderful buildings and gardens. A day full of personal touches, Jon sang to Andi during the speeches, which produced tears of emotion & laughter! Have a great Honeymoon.

Sarah & Chris' Wedding at Waltham Abbey & Hitchin Priory

Friday the 13th - we had a little rain, dodging showers at the Church and the Priory but Sarah & Chris were brilliant throughout the day despite a few mad dashes to make it to cover before getting wet! Waltham Abbey is such a stunning Church and the Priory excelled themselves with the marquee set-up it looked amazing.

Rachel & Russ' wedding at Brighton Town Hall

Monday saw us at Brighton Town Hall for Rachel & Russ' wedding. We were recommended to them by a couple who we photographed last year at the Barbican in London. We'd been to Brighton before but never actually made it to the beach! We made up for that when we took the whole wedding party there for some pictures on the carousel, more by the doughnut and some more in deckchairs on the shingle.

Sally & Stuart's Wedding at Coltsford Mill, Oxted

Saturday the 7th, and the 4th of the 5 new venues we'll have covered in the last 7 days! Sally booked us way back in April 2008 - her big day was a long time in the planning. Coltsford Mill has a multitude of places to take great pictures which is good as we're back there for another two weddings in the next month.

Rachel & James' Wedding at Manor of Groves, High Wych

Friday the 6th & another new venue for us, Manor of Groves nr Sawbridgeworth. Rachel & James' family and friends filled St Margaret's Church in Stanstead Abbotts for their ceremony and despite a little drizzle of rain afterwards the rest of the day went without a hitch. The Manor Suite, where the reception was held, looked amazing and the food was scrumptious! Happy honeymoon!

Emma & Guy's Wedding at The Barns Hotel, Bedford

Thursday the 5th and we were at the Barns Hotel in Bedford - our 1st time there for a wedding but what a beautiful place, set alongside the river. The Hotel is charming and the Tithe Barn, where the wedding and reception took place, was very impressive. Guy and Emma were the perfect couple - all smiles, all day!

Tracy & Graham's wedding at Upnor Castle & Knowle Country House

Our 1st visit to Upnor Castle & Knowle Country House - both are amazing venues in Kent chosen by Tracy & Graham for their wedding yesterday. The castle provided the back drop for their atmospheric ceremony with an informal drinks reception in the castle's courtyard. We then went to Knowle Country House for the wedding breakfast. Both the castle and the Country house were perfect for photos.

Some of my favourite ...

Dannielle & Ian's wedding at The Rose & Crown, Saunderton

We met Dannielle, Ian & their children [and parents!] over 18 months ago when they booked us - since then Dannielle has been planning her perfect day. The attention to detail was amazing, their outdoor ceremony area was decorated with ribbons, lanterns, wooden hearts, and many types of beautiful flowers. The food at the Rose and Crown was lovely, the weather got better and better and the partying continued well into the evening. Congratulations!
