Wedding at Chelmsford Cathedral
First wedding at Chelmsford Cathedral and have to say, what a gorgeous place that is, Fantastic architecture and the sheer size of the place is mind-blowing.
It helped that the vicar was really laid back and easy going. Some ceremonies can be a little restrictive for a variety of reasons, and often as a Wedding photographer or videographer you’re instructed to stay rooted to one spot which is a little like having your hands tied. This vicar wasn’t one who came with a book full of rules, apart from the bible, and was a joy to deal with. He conducted a great service too .
Afterwards, everyone headed over to the Bull at Great Totham, which is just outside Chelmsford, and was a great venue, with really helpful staff, including the proprietor who really knew how to be the perfect host.
Before all of that was the bridal prep, at the couple ( Clair & Owen’s) house in Chelmsford, Essex. In between shooting their wedding video, I shot this candid pic of the bride , Clair .
Really lovely wedding with a great couple.
Traditional Church Wedding in Southampton
Loved having a 3 man crew on this tradition Church wedding in Southampton yesterday. We also had another wedding yesterday in Suffolk, which was shot by one of the newest members of the team , Elliott and was as far removed both physically and stylistically from this one, as it was a festival themed wedding . For our Suffolk wedding we were asked to do both photography and make a Wedding film, so we used mainly two photographers and one Videographer, who also took some stills. Love the expression on Aaron, the grooms face in this shot. He looks like the happiest man alive , don’t you think?

Chance to compete 2018
It was a real pleasure shooting both stills and film for former Bank of England Governor Lord King’s Charity ‘ Chance to Shine’ at the Loughborough National Cricket Performance Centre.
This is a great charity and worth checking out and donating to. https://www.chancetoshine.org
Amongst the participants was former England Cricketer and author of ‘ Cut short’ James Taylor, seen here in this picture with some of the winners .
You often get what you pay for with Wedding Photography
There seems to be tendency amongst certain potential clients to always go for the cheapest option. As if the lowest price is all that matters, when it comes to hiring a photographer or videographer .
To be honest these aren’t the sorts of clients we like to take on, because they tend to have zero appreciation for the work, passion and dedication involved in good photography or film making . And to make matters worse, they also tend to be the most problematic too.
Unfortunately some unscrupulous suppliers can take advantage of people with this race to the bottom mindset, with some suppliers quoting a ridiculously low price, which gets them hired, but they then use this booking as a back up plan, just in case nothing else comes through on that particular date. If something subsequently comes through with a more realistic price, they then leave the first client in the lurch, looking for new supplier at the last minute.
Another thing to look out for is this example given by a bride to be from London
“The person we chose at first turned out to be fraud … website was built from stolen photographs, when I asked them they changed their name and took down the website … came up with an excuse they are going to travel abroad for person emergency .. I try to be very open and transparent in the way I work at my job and things like this always manage to amaze me. ”
Festival Themed Wedding v The Royal Wedding
Bride at Festival themed wedding in Sussex. While all eyes were on Harry and Meghan’s nuptials in Windsor, a little further south a wedding that was as far removed from all the pomp was taking place in the middle of the beautiful Sussex countryside as friends and loved ones gathered together for the relaxed festival themed wedding of Ninja tune recording artist Andy, and his new bride Stefanie.
Festival lovers, Andy & Stefanie were gutted that Glastonbury isn’t happening this year , and decided to combine their shared love of music festivals and incorporate this in their big day . I must say it worked out beautifully , with perfect location, super cool guests that included writers and producers for the likes of Girls Aloud and the Saturdays plus lots of other chilled out creatives and the weather was gorgeous.
Such a loving couple it was a real pleasure to capture Andy & Stefanie’s special day with a wedding film, and wedding photography.

Outdoor wedding in the Midlands Helping a young cancer sufferer realise her dream to get married.
At the Larkfield Priory hotel in Kent on Friday , there was a rare display of genuine community spirit , as So tangy and many suppliers including ‘ Cakes n Candy’ and ‘Conamar Cars’ gave their time and services for free in order to make a young lady recently diagnosed with terminal cancer, live her dream to get married to her partner.
It was a well attended affair both day and night , with between 150- 200 people joining in the celebrations with Asher, Trevor and family .
New Video for Sussex Cricket team / Foundation
Shot the video for Sussex Cricket Team’s Charity single , recorded at Appleyard Studios, in Sussex.
Some of the footage was filmed during two days at the ground, where members of the local community were invited in. One of those days being Disability day . And then more footage of the team’s arrival at Appleyard studios , and then in the studio as they sang their parts.
On Wednesday evening, ahead of the T20 game against Hampshire, it was great to see the final result revealed to the board of the club’s charitable foundation, who have the video a great reception.
Sky requested the video for screening, and the video was debuted just after the meeting in the boardroom , so it went out on the big screens at the ground. Hopefully it won’t be long before Sussex fans start singing along to this catchy little number. It’s due to be played at every game so it won’t be long before they learn the words 🙂
