Emily & Mike, The White Hart, Wedding Photographer, Great Yeldham, Essex

Emily & Mike’s wedding at The White Hart, Great Yeldham, Essex was one of the most convenient for me, only a few minutes from home! Being situated here, close to the Essex & Suffolk border I’m in a good spot for gorgeous rural weddings like this. And I’m very local to be your White Hart wedding photographer! Between The White Hart, Hedingham Castle and Gosfield Hall, I’m pretty much exactly between them, about 2 miles each way! The Tudor beams […]

2015 – A Year of Wedding Photography in Review

2015 was a really fantastic year for my wedding photography! I was lucky enough to photograph the weddings of fifty great clients (on par with the previous year) and started 2016 with exactly the same number again too!). Lavenham Photographic enjoyed yet another year of fantastic support from Country House Weddings’ Leez Priory and Gosfield Hall, totaling nearly 30 weddings between them, twenty weddings at various other venues, including a few that were new to me (Amazing after 15 years […]

Edwina & Ben, Bruisyard Hall & Barn, Suffolk Wedding Photography

Bruisyard Hall was a gorgeous setting for Edwina & Ben’s wedding reception. Having returned from the ceremony at Walberswick Church, I hung around with them for a while at Bruisyard Hall, taking a few wedding photos in the lovely August sunshine, against the great old brick and stone textures, getting some lovely relaxed feeling photos. The atmosphere of the wedding really comes across, the guests all enjoying themselves on the lawn, the no-rush feeling of the bride and groom gently […]

Bride and groom in the snow, Leez Priory, Winter 2014

Hayley & Andy, Leez Priory Winter Snowy Essex Wedding, Photography

Hayley & Andy’s wedding took place just after a week where Essex had seen some light snow flurries. Nothing really had settled more than a centimetre or so earlier in the week, and when the Saturday came around it looked like any other day. Very cloudy though bright enough, Leez Priory looked stunning as always. It was only during the ceremony in the tower that we looked out of the window and saw how romantic it had become outside! … […]

Bride and groom at Swan Hotel, walking, night photo with remote lighting

Natalie & Sam, The Swan Hotel, Lavenham Wedding Photography

Natalie & Sam’s wedding at the Swan Hotel in Lavenham fell on a beautiful crisp January day. The ceremony wasn’t until 4:30, so I just knew any daylight shots I’d get would be early and the rest would be indoors or creatively lit outdoor shots. So I made sure to pack my remote lighting kit (It’s with me every day anyway!) and set it up in advance so it would be at hand when we needed it.  Photographs of Natalie’s […]

Night time photography at Hengrave Hall in Suffolk, using remote lighting

Steph & Jim, Hengrave Hall Wedding Photography

I was really really looking forward to photographing Steph & Jim’s wedding at Hengrave Hall in Suffolk, as it’s one of the most beautiful venues in the region. I’d been asked to go and photograph there in the past by Tudor Rose florists who’s set up their flowers in the chapel, but was yet to take a wedding photography booking there. The day came, and it was gorgeous weather, just clear enough for the sun to produce soft shadows, without […]

Sophie & Tom, Bulmer Church & Smeetham Hall wedding, Photography

Sophie and Tom’s wedding photography started with preparation photos at the Swan. you can already tell it’s going to be a great wedding when the theme comes together in the form of details and styke of dress, flowers etc. The photography always starts with photos that set the scene, so I started with photos showing the location, the Swan Hotel sign and classic Lavenham backdrop. Photography of the bride in the mirror Detail photography, the wedding shoes and bouquet Photographs like […]

Emma & Chris’ wedding took place on possibly the brightest day I can remember! We started with some prep photos at the Mill Hotel in Sudbury, and got some really really lovely portraits of both Emma & Chris  Mirrors like this frame a bridal portrait beautifully!   When I saw these doors open I really liked the patterns they made and thought it a great spot for a portrait of the groom. I alittle flash bounced from the hallway ceiling, and a […]
