Essex Wedding Photography from Channels Golf Club, Chelmsford – Helen & Ian

Essex Wedding Photography from Channels Golf Club, Chelmsford – Helen & Ian

Our first wedding of the season was held at the fabulous Channels Golf Club in Little Waltham near Chelmsford in Essex. Helen and Ian chose well because Channels is a lovely venue with many great areas for wedding photos. The avenue of trees looked very different without leaves but still provided a fabulous backdrop for our wedding photography. In spite of it being a very cold March day our bride braved the weather in order to get some lovely and memorable images.
Helen looked stunning in a lace dress from Grace & Lace in Chelmsford, Essex. The bridesmaids wore beautiful classic dresses in blue, Ian and the boys looked great in their suits from Anthony’s in Billericay. Helen’s bouquet and all other flowers came from Elegance in Chelmsford. Katie Poole from Leigh on Sea did a superb job of Helen’s make up as can be seen from our photographs. Classic Rolls Royce cars were provided by Aristocars from Billericay. Our DJ for the evening playing some good tunes was Peter Gibbs from Billericay.

Karen married Darren at the amazing Stock Brook Country Club. The wedding photo opportunities are endless there and we made the most of the avenue of trees, with it’s autumnal colours and fabulous light. Carl from Arrow Vintage Cars drove us there in a 1929 Pierce Arrow and the car looked superb against the stunning backdrop.

Karen looked lovely in a dress from Thea Bridal and she enlisted the help of Jayne Hawker from Hadleigh Hats & Wedding Nites (who supplied the shoes and underwear). Jayne’s calm, helpful manner enabled Karen to relax. The bridesmaids wore gorgeous Phase Eight dresses in a dark purple and the younger bridesmaids had dresses from John Lewis. Hair and make up was done by Gail Gardner who we recently worked with at Gosfield Hall. The boys looked good in smart grey suits from Moss Bros.

St John’s Southend & Roslin Beach Hotel, Thorpe Bay, Essex Wedding Photographers – Ali & Chris

It was a pleasure to photograph Ali and Chris’ wedding particularly as the bride went to Guides with my daughter. It was also great to see the lovely Rev. Stephen Burdett again doing his stuff at St John’s Church in Southend, Ali’s family have been coming to St John’s for years, and in fact her Grandmother was also married here. After the service a Routemaster bus took all the guests back to the Roslin Beach Hotel where the reception was held. Unfortunately we couldn’t get any wedding photos on the beach as rain stopped play but we did get some good images inside the Roslin with the Thorpe Bay beach in the background.

Ali looked beautiful in a lovely dress from Johanna Hehir. The gorgeous flowers were from Scent in Leigh on Sea.

Wedding Photography at St Margaret’s Church, Stanford Rivers, Essex – Georgina & Tom

Georgina and Tom were married at the beautiful old St Margarets Stanford Rivers Church. The interlude for the Register signing became a highlight thanks to the wonderful voice of Emily Yarrow singing from the balcony within the church.

There is a corridor of trees before you get to the church door and it gives a fabulous backdrop to the wedding photos.

Many brides choose to wear subtle make up on their wedding day but Georgina surprised us with her bold look, she looked vibrant and amazing. Georgina chose a gorgeous Demetrios gown, (a prestigious leader in bridal fashion), bought from Amorae in Ongar, which fitted her perfectly and she looked absolutely stunning.

The bridesmaids’ dresses were chosen from an online company; again they all looked wonderful as did the boys, navy blue being a popular colour. The lovely flowers came from Abridge florists.

The reception was held in a great marquee in Georgina’s parents’ grounds, they also provided a surprise for everybody in the form of ‘Soprano Bella’, who were absolutely superb, I am not going to give too much away but just to say their performance was incredible and there were a few tears amongst the audience including the photographer!
