There is always someone in the way!!!

I am presently in the process of designing Jo and Noel's wedding album - I photographed their wedding at Spain's Hall Essex earlier this year. There was one particular picture which would be great but for that member of staff who couldn't get out of the way fast enough (a real problem with a fisheye lens).

Noel asked whether it would be possible to crop  her out, but to do so would have I felt ruined the dynamics of their entrance - several hours later - what wedding coordinator?

Whilst such extensive retouching is extremely time consuming and expensive there are those occasions where it is absolutely necessary.

Who can I next make disappear - any suggestions?

The Wedding of Faye and Richard at Thaxted Church and Spain's Hall

Last Thursday I had the pleasure of photographing Faye and Richards Wedding at Thaxted Church and Spain's Hall.
Faye arrived in a white glass coach pulled by white heavy horses provided by The Ostler Carriage Company .The Toastmaster for the day was my good friend Richard Palmer with Videograpy provided by John Rose .The Church at Thaxted dominates the village and surrounding countryside - it is huge and necessitated the use of my 200-400mm F4 (for the techies amongst you) to get in close.The Rev Raymond Taylor presided in what was a very personal and warm ceremony.The church is also known for it's Pilgrims Door - which has access on three sides, it made a beautiful setting for photographs.The reception was held at nearby Spain's Hall the gardens of which are stunning.All photographs copyright Essex Wedding Photographers CourtOnCamera.

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.
