Toastmaster Training in Essex

This morning I have the great pleasure of assisting my good friend Richard Palmer of the English Toastmasters Association in a training seminar for the organisation at its headquarters at Danbury Essex.

Professor Ince finally foiled - Witnessed by Olympians

On Saturday I had the great honour and privilege to photograph the wedding of Professor John Ince - Founder, Chairman and Coach at the Haverstock Fencing Club to Sandra at the Kingston Registry Office

John was supported throughout the day by Mr Paul D Standing (The registrar when querying the D was enlightened by Professor Ince).


The Reception was held at St Mary's Parish Church Community Hall , Long Ditton and at the Ditton Bar in the evening.

Those attending consisted of a Who's Who in the Fencing World - Film Stars Steve (a triple Olympian) and Karen Paul (Both appeared in the James Bond Film Die another Day along side Pierce Brosnan and Madonna - Steve was Brosnan's fencing double) - British Champions and Olympians past and present were in abundance.


International Photographer and Fencer Tony Bowran (Listed in Debretts People of Today) kept a watch full eye on the proceedings.

Whilst double Olympian (sorry: it has been pionted out - triple Olympian) and current World Veteran Silver-medalist (foil) Tony Bartlett in his daytime role as wine merchant made sure the Champagne was up to standard.

A thoroughly splendid time was had by all on this very special day.

Georgina and Nick's Wedding Spains Hall

This Saturday I had the great pleasure of Photographing Georgina and Nick's wedding at Spains Hall near Finchingfield in Essex.

A surprise vintage Jaguar was provided by Georgina's parents for the newly Married Couple to ride in after the ceremony - the schedule was secretly changed to accommodate the car drive - all parties being sworn to secrecy.

After the ceremony we went for a walk in the beautiful gardens for which Spains Hall is famed.

My suit jacket (washable Marks and Spencer) as per usual came in handy and was used for Georgina to sit on on several occasions during the afternoon. The daffodils were just appearing providing a photo opportunity not to be missed - once again the Jacket was utilised.

During the evening I was able to use my Lowel ID light to photograph Georgina and Nick in front of the Stable's where the reception was held. The light was directed by Georgina's Father.

One special request has been made by Becca - that the sheep at Gaynes Park are in the fields - Guy Chisenhale-Marsh over to you.

The Grooms arrival by Helicopter for his Wedding - Gaynes Park Barns

It doesn't seem that long ago when I was standing on the Polo Field at the Gaynes Park Barns Wedding Venue in Essex with Liselle Chisenhale-Marsh awaiting the arrival on a bright February afternoon of Nige for his wedding to Gaynor by helicopter.

It is important to note that this is where the helicopter was to land - I was as the Essex Wedding Photographer there to photograph the arrival - Liselle as owner was there to greet Nige.

Oh no "he's going to land in the walled garden" said Liselle - Oh "****" said I, "run!" ...which we duly did.
