Parklands Quendon Hall wedding | Amanda & Graham

Colin — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 09:25:39 +0000

Great weather, sumptuous venue and a fab couple couple – what more could a wedding photographer ask for! Yesterday saw me at Parklands Quendon Hall in Essex for Amanda and Graham’s nuptials. The blisteringly hot day was enjoyed by many friends and family some of whom had travelled a long way for the big day. Amanda looked stunning in her blue dress, Graham was every inch the dapper gentleman and the bridesmaids were very elegant. There was plenty of fun and games just prior to the speeches as every table had to sing a song from a country that been pre-chosen for them, this was accompanied by various props and fancy dress items and caused great hilarity. The speeches were very emotional and at one point I don’t think there was dry eye in the house.

I must say a big thank you to Simon from Simon Revill Photography who is a fellow ISPWP member, he travelled down from Derbyshire to be the second shooter on this one and his help and commitment was appreciated by everyone.

These are just a few sneak peeks from yesterday, please vote for your favourite image by leaving a comment and I will ensure the happy couple receive a mounted metallic fine art print.

Congratulations Amanda and Graham, have a fantastic honeymoon and remember, You’ll Never Walk Alone.

Amanda & Graham pre-wedding shoot | Parklands Quendon Hall

Colin — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 20:09:25 +0000

This evening I had the pleasure of doing Amanda and Graham’s pre-wedding photography shoot in anticipation of their wedding at Parklands Quendon Hall in Essex in a couple of weeks. Unfortunately we were greeted with blustery weather but this could not dampen their enthusiasm for the photo-shoot – whatever happened to flaming June! The wedding sounds like it will be a lot of fun and I’m really looking forward to the big day as I will have a great venue and a fantastic couple, what more could I ask for?

Yesterday I had the pleasure of being the photographer for Claire and Gary’s wedding, the service was at Nazeing church in Essex followed by a reception at Manor of Groves near Bishops Stortford in Hertfordshire. The heavy rain was very unfortunate but it did little to dampen the spirits of family and friends who were in attendance and everyone seemed to be enjoying the festivities.

Here are just a few sneak peeks from the wedding as always please vote for your favourite image by leaving a comment and I will make sure Claire and Gary receive a large mounted print of the winning photograph.

Sav & Lindsay sneak peeks | Parklands wedding

Colin — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 08:59:44 +0000

Yesterday I had the pleasure of being Sav and Lindsay’s wedding photographer at Parklands Quendon Hall in Essex. They contacted me just a few weeks ago and following their recent pre-wedding shoot the big day soon came around. The wedding was very relaxed with a lot of laughter and Sav gave what I think is probably the funniest groom’s speech I have heard! Although the weather started out okay everytime we went out to do some shots it seemed a squall would materialise from nowhere and we’d have to run back inside. I must say that Lyndsey had the most outrageous wedding shoes I have ever seen – a stunning pair of Red or Dead high heels with lots of bling!

Just for a bit of fun I have decided to run a little competition and ask for your votes to pick the winning image, anyone can vote and as an added incentive I’ll send a mounted, fine art metallic 15×10 print of the most popular photograph to Sav and Lindsay. Simply place your vote by leaving your name and comment at the end of the post and I will announce the winning image in about ten days.

Congratulations to you both and we’ll speak soon!

Colin — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 13:14:06 +0000

This morning I did the pre-wedding photography shoot with Sav and Lindsay who are getting married at Parklands, Quendon Hall in a couple of weeks. They are a very relaxed couple to work with and I know we are going to have a lot of fun in a couple of weeks.

Luckily the weather was kind to us today and we managed a few quality shots in between making the final preparations for the big day.

Paul & Anna got married! | Elmers Court Hotel wedding

Colin — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 20:21:37 +0000

Paul and Anna were married a couple of weeks ago in the New Forest in Hampshire. The service was very relaxed and was followed by a reception at the Elmers Court Hotel in Lymington and fun, fun, fun was the order of the day. Everybody had a great time, there was a lot of laughter and Paul and Anna were happy to let me do my stuff and document what was a great wedding.

Here are just a few images from the day.
