Another sunny one at in Southend-on-Sea!

And this one was pretty much 100% laughter, fun and tequila!

Anne & Matthew were an absolute joy to photograph. Honestly, I don't think these two stopped laughing all day, and neither did their guests!

A ceremony with surprise witnesses, plenty of laughs, and a tequila shot group photo, of course, and some lovely moments down on the beach as the sun started to set.

And what better way to finish the day than heading back onto the beach for a bit of ch*****ne spraying!

Such a fun day with two genuinely lovely people and a brilliant bunch of family and friends.

Congratulations again, Anne & Matthew!

What a gloriously fun wedding!

Charlotte & Lee did things a little differently - two ceremonies, two very different settings, and a whole lot of laughter.

First up, the wonderfully grand Braintree Town Hall for the official “I do’s” 💍 before heading back to the family farm for ceremony number two and a proper celebration.
Think sunshine, confetti, hay bales, a Land Rover photo booth, barrels of b**r and barrows of laughter 🍻😂

Relaxed, personal and completely them.

Exactly how a wedding should be.

Katie & Ryan’s wedding at Channels

Another hot summer’s day, another brilliant wedding, and what a day it was! ☀️

From the excitement of the morning preparations and their beautiful outdoor ceremony, through to confetti, family moments, plenty of laughter, golden-hour portraits and a ch*****ne spray under the stars… Katie & Ryan’s day had it all.

Swipe through for a little extended preview, telling the story from start to finish ➡️

A huge shout-out to the wonderful team at Channels. They’re always incredibly helpful and certainly know how to put on a wedding!

The super-talented singer Lucy did a fantastic job keeping all the guests entertained, and it’s always a pleasure working alongside Pete Videography.

Congratulations again, Katie & Ryan. What an amazing day! 🥂

Danielle & James | Leez Priory

Always a pleasure returning to the beautiful Leez Priory. Danielle & James couldn’t have asked for a better day – glorious sunshine, an amazing group of family and friends, and so many genuine moments to capture from start to finish.

The historic towers set the scene for a glorious outdoor ceremony, followed by picturesque lakeside portraits, plenty of laughter throughout the speeches, and a packed outdoor dance floor making the most of the summer sunshine. We finished the night with a ch*****ne spray beneath the evening sky and some dramatic night-time portraits… what a day!

A big thank you to the brilliant suppliers who helped make everything run so smoothly:
Hair & Makeup – Gail Gardner
Wedding Breakfast Entertainment – Joe Hilton from Vox Secret Singers (what a surprise for the guests!)

Congratulations once again, Danielle & James – thank you for trusting me to tell your story. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness together. 🥂

Yvonne & Colin celebrated in style at The Rochford Hotel. Their wedding day was filled with laughter from beginning to end, a wonderful family celebration!

Hugs, tears, laughter, dancing, and even a ch*****ne spray to finish the night…

It was also great to be working alongside another Langdon Hills local business, Steve J Hearn, who kept guests smiling with his fantastic caricatures throughout the day.

What a day for Emma & Matt’s wedding at Ye Olde Plough House. ☀️

With sunshine, beautiful gardens and plenty of memorable moments throughout the day, it was a joy to capture their story as it unfolded.

From the emotional moments to the laughter, hugs and everything in between, it was a privilege to document such a special day.

A real pleasure to be part of it.

Congratulations, Emma & Matt!

A wedding isn’t really one moment.

It’s hundreds of little moments stitched together.

The nervous excitement in the morning.

Kids running around while everyone’s getting ready.

The groom pretending he’s not nervous.

The ceremony.

The confetti.

The family hugs.

The speeches that go on slightly longer than planned. 😆

The sunset…

Damn, that was some sunset.

The dance floor.

And those final photographs when it’s dark, everyone’s relaxed, and you suddenly realise…

“We actually did it.”

This wedding was a few years ago now, but I still love how the photographs tell the whole story.

So here’s one wedding day…

Told in 10 slides.

No huge guest list. No fuss. Just a room full of love, laughter and genuine happiness.

One of the things I love most about intimate weddings is how personal they feel. You get more time with your nearest and dearest, more meaningful conversations, and more opportunities to simply enjoy the day.

And honestly? Looking at these smiles, I think they got it exactly right. ❤️ #

Guess the venue…

Bonus points if you’ve booked your wedding here 😅

A few little moments from one beautiful wedding day… confetti chaos, lakeside strolls, cuddles with the little ones, and a sneaky night shot to finish 🌒

A truly iconic Essex wedding venue…

Who recognises it first? 👀

This ain’t no April Fools joke…

Noah’s turned my brand into Minecraft blocks because of my purple socks 🧦💜

Not sure if I’ve been rebranded…
or just overruled by a 7-year-old 😂

Honestly… he might be onto something 👀

Deepslate Gold
Noah: “I like gold, you should have more.”
Ash: 12+ years in business… I’ve got you covered 😄

Purple Wool
Noah: “Because of your purple socks, you should wear them at weddings.”
Ash: Fair… purple is basically my brand colour anyway 💜

Blue Glazed Terracotta
Noah: “You like patterns like that on your shirt.”
Ash: …guess I’m buying a new shirt then 😂

Do I commit to the purple socks at weddings? 👀
