Wedding photography: Melanie and Paul at Gosfield Hall

Jodie and Andrew at Creeksea Place

It's always a pleasure to discover something rather wonderful that's right on your doorstep. Until Jodie and Andrew approached me to be their wedding photographer I had never heard of Creeksea Place. This Essex venue is just a 20 minute drive from my home next to the river Blackwater in Burnham...it can only be described as a hidden jewel.
Annabel the wedding planner at Creeksea Place is delightful, it was a pleasure to work with such a warm and friendly team.

We were blessed with great weather, the perfect weather for an ice cream! Luckily Jodie had a little surprise for Andrew with the arrival of a Rossi ice cream van. I can understand having a passion for Rossi ice cream as I spent 7 years living in Leigh-on-Sea, and know there is just nothing else quiet like it.

Wedding photography over the last month.

Things are becoming really busy now as we hit peak wedding season, so it's difficult for me to find the time to blog all weddings.

Here is a selection of wedding photography from some of June's weddings. These included Essex wedding venues as well as London and Scotland.

Viviana and James at Fulham Town Hall and the Phoenix in Putney

International award winning image

It's been a pretty amazing weekend. Other than photographing a really nice couple at a very enjoyable wedding, I received an e-mail from the States letting me know that I won first place in the recent WPJA competition.

The WPJA is an international body of wedding photojournalists. The competition standards within the WPJA are extremely high, with a panel of award-winning press photo-journalists from around the world as judges - so winning the ‘Getting Ready’ category is quite an achievement that I don’t mind admitting I'm delighted with.

The image of Becky was taken at Parklands Quendon Hall in April 2009.
