From venues like Houchins and Gosfield Hall, to family gardens and farms — real weddings in Essex. Photographed in my timeless natural documentary style.
Even when it started raining it did not deter those enjoying splashing around and ordering beers to the poolside. Ali and Bal have already had a wonderful start to their life together and it was an honour to be there as they celebrated the years behind and ahead of them on this special day. I…
Lauren started the day at her parents’ home, a farm in Essex. Not only did Lauren get ready here but the reception was also held here. So much planning went into making it look pretty. From the perfectly mown lawn to the picnic benches… it was a labour of love. The congregation did not need to…
I didn’t have to wait long for my first wedding of the year, Richard and Rebecca braved the chill to marry on the 2nd of January! You’d think the festivities of Christmas and New Year would’ve taken their toll on guests, as you can see they still partied hard on the dance floor set up…
Well here we have not only a stunning winter wedding but one packed full familiar faces. Past, present and future couples of mine, their families and guests… I had a smile on my face all day. You may recall the wedding of Jess, Adam’s sister, last year… so I knew I was in for a…

Capturing those touching moments in such a beautiful building was a real pleasure. Tom, her soon-to-be husband, was clearly…
Well this was a particularly special wedding for me having known the family for a few years now. They run the Brownstock festival and Jess gave me a chance all those years ago in granting a newbie photographer a photopass. I’ve been shooting it ever since and it’s been wonderful to see it grow and…
This wedding brought back childhood memories, all in pictures in my mind of course. As I climbed the steps up in the Norman keep up to the Minstrel’s gallery for some couple portraits I remembered very clearly that tricky climb on a school trip. Hedingham Castle was the perfect venue for a romantic candlelit ceremony for…
An absolutely glorious wedding in Bradwell-on-Sea for Verity and Charles. After a service at the church of St Thomas, everyone headed to Verity’s family home for the reception in a beautifully decorated marquee. Such a laid back and fun day, the dogs and the horses joined in too. Verity has now gone on to turn…
