Clare and Patrick's Wedding Photographs Layer Marney Tower

On Saturday alongside my good friend and Toastmaster - Richard Palmer, Wedding Photographers Essex - CourtOnCamera had the honour and great pleasure to have been invited to photograph Clare and Pat's Wedding at St John the Evangelist and St Erkenwald's Catholic Church with the wedding breakfast at The Layer Marney Tower, Essex.

The photographs will be available for viewing by family and friends at the end of next week.

Wedding Photographers Essex - Reminder to myself - I must keep my Blog up to date!

Geoffry Archer once wrote that the hardest part of writing a novel (read Blog) is sitting down - I concur and promise to do better.

Over the last week (when not photographing widgets and other commercial necessities) I met up and assisted my good friend Richard Palmer with his Toastmaster Training and met new member of the English Toastmasters Association Michael Wall. Together we also visited the Church of St John the Evangelist and St Erconwald at Ingatestone where Clare and Pat are being married on the 23rd May with the reception at Layer Marmey Tower.

On Sunday I went to All Saints Church Theydon Garnon - Jess and Jack were also there to hear their Banns being read - I am photographing their wedding there on the 28th May (the reception will be at Gaynes Park).

Earlier last week I visited my fencing club (The Lansdowne Club). Over a glass of wine we all agreed how healthy sport was - of the 8 fencers present 6 were carrying injuries of which 5 were directly attributable to sport (2 hips (mine included), one back, the remaining shoulders and arms) - the one exception was an injury incurred whilst looking for Polar Bears in the Arctic Circle - crashed snowmobile.

I also learnt that my eldest daughter - Rebecca, had been accepted to read Photography at the Royal College of Art for her Masters in September.

Layer Marney Tower Wedding - Clare and Pat's pre-wedding shoot

Yesterday I met up with Clare and Pat for their pre-wedding photographs at Layer Marney Tower Essex.
Clare and Pat are having their reception there in May. It was lovely seeing them both again after just over a year from when they chose Essex Wedding Photographers - CourtOnCamera to photograph their special day.

By a unique co-incidence Layer Marney Tower featured on Channel 4's the Time Team, Henry VIII's lost palaces, that evening.

Wedding Photograph Album - Weddings at Layer Marney Tower It is for me one of the the most rewarding times (as it probably is for many Wedding Photographers in Essex), when the Wedding Album is finally delivered to my Bride and Groom. I just love watching them together open the album and look at their wedding photographs for the first time, but at the same time it is tinged with sadness in that it is the end of a very special relationship which has built up over in many cases a very long period of time.

Such was the feeling yesterday when I delivered to Jenny and James a beautiful album which recorded their wedding which I photographed at Layer Marney Tower earlier this year.

On Saturday I had the pleasure of photographing Jenny and James' wedding at Layer Marney Tower near Colchester in Essex. Layer Marney is a Tudor Palace set in beautiful parkland and gardens dating back to 1520. The Farm at Layer Marney Tower is a livestock farm and Jennie managed to find in the mediaeval barn a number of Norfolk Horn sheep lambs. http://www.layermarneytower.co.uk/

The Toastmaster, my good friend Richard Palmer was on hand throughout Jenny and James' truly special day. http://www.thetoastmaster.co.uk/
