The wedding of Lauren and Ben

Capturing Lauren and Ben's wedding day was lots of fun! It was also one of the hottest days this year!

Hylands House in Chelmsford was the setting for this beautiful day and Laurence James Photography were there to capture the events as they unfolded.

 

Lauren looked stunning and her smile was beaming with excitement as she arrived and walked down the isle. Ben on the other hand was cool, calm and collective and was determined to have a great day.

Ben and Lauren make a fantastic couple and the emotion, excitement, fun and love on that day certainly made for great photos.

We are pleased to announce that Lauren and Ben's wedding gallery is now available to view online. You can access it via the 'Client albums' section of our website. You will need a password to access the gallery, please contact Lauren or Ben for this. We hope you enjoy them!

The wedding of Kirsty and Jamie

Kirsty and Jamie's wedding was a great success! The weather was kind and the day seemed to run like clockwork. It was fun shooting a wedding where everybody was so friendly and relaxed, it certainly made us feel very welcome.

We met the happy couple in the morning as they were preparing for their special day. Surprisingly, it felt very calm and there were no signs of stress - as you might expect on one of the biggest days of your life!

 
St Mary's Church in Gt Baddow was a lovely venue for the ceremony. Kirsty looked stunning as she made her entrance and her Father gleamed with pride as he walked her down the aisle.

We're not sure how many people noticed the bottom of Jamie's shoes as he knelt with Kirsty before the Vicar, but it certainly caught our eye and it was a shot we couldn't afford to miss.

After the ceremony the wedding party moved on to the Ivy Hill Hotel. It was here that we captured the rest of the days' events, from walking in the grounds with the newly wed couple, photographing laughter, emotions and happiness during the speeches and capturing their first dance and the cutting of the cake.

We are pleased to announce that Kirsty and Jamie's wedding gallery is now available to view online. You can access it via the 'Client albums' section of our website. You will need a password to access the gallery, please contact Kirsty or Jamie for this. We hope you enjoy them!

Jamie and Kirsty - Pre wedding shoot.

Jamie and Kirsty are getting married on Saturday 31st March 2012 at St Marys Church in Gt Baddow. We are really pleased that they have chosen Laurence James Photography to capture their wedding day.
We caught up with them for a pre-wedding shoot and the opportunity to get to know them a bit better.

We met at St Mary's church for a few photos and talked about the wedding day. After that we went to the Ivy Hill Hotel, the venue for their reception.

We had a great afternoon finding out more about their special day and exploring the grounds. They're a great couple and quickly relaxed to Stuart and I photographing them.

Despite the fallen snow and the cold breeze the sun was shining. We are sure the weather will be perfect on their wedding day and we can't wait to take lots of stunning shots and capture the whole event for them to remember.

The wedding of Neil & Mindy Scotcher

The wedding of Neil & Mindy Scotcher was always going to be special, but getting married on New Years Eve 2011 definitely made it one to remember!

For those that don’t know, Mindy is best friend to my sister Liane who was Matron of Honor on the day. I have known Mindy (or Cindy as I like to call her) for many years. For this reason it was a true privilege and honour to be part of her special day and to photograph it for her and Neil really meant a lot to me. Thank you.

Neil and Mindy decided to get married at Chanels Golf Club and yet again it proved to be a great wedding venue. Chanels has lots of character and excellent surroundings, providing ideal wedding photography locations. To top it off, the food was really nice and the staff were also very friendly and accommodating.

I met with Mindy and the Bridesmaids at her house to do some shots before the wedding. I must say, Mindy was a surprisingly calm Bride and didn’t mind me and my camera following her around. Then the cars arrived… At that point the nerves kicked in and Mindy was in panic mode. Luckily, little Jess was on hand to re-assure her Mum that she looked beautiful and that today was going to be the best day of her life.

The ceremony had a relaxed feel to it which was quite different to other weddings we have captured. Perhaps Neil fluffing his lines had something to do with that… Then of course there was the naming ceremony for Tommy who looked super smart in his pageboy’s suit.

When we met with the happy couple weeks before the wedding we had to acknowledge that, given the time of year, on the day there could be rain or snow. However, this wasn’t an issue! Although there was a chill in the air the weather was perfect, we even had a little bit of sunshine come out just before we finished the group photos.

 

The day unfolded into the night and soon the evening guests started to arrive. Once the disco had started the dance floor was constantly packed with people strutting their stuff right up until the newly wed’s took centre stage for their first dance. The night was full of energy and everyone was having a great time. Then before we knew it, the countdown to the new year was started and we all knew that the party would soon be coming to an end.

All in all it was a great day and an awesome way to see in the New Year. It will certainly be one to remember. Thanks again to Mindy, Neil, Jess and Tommy for such a wonderful day.

We wish the new Mr and Mrs Scotcher the best of luck for the future.

Donna and Jason -9th July 2011

Laurence James Photography photographed Donna and Jason's wedding day and had a great time whilst capturing the event, from the bride and groom's preparations to the cutting of the cake.
We were both impressed by the relaxed, friendly attitude of the couple and all the guests were good fun and easy to photograph.
The weather was kind to us as well,with the rain falling while everyone was inside and the sun shining at the right times.
This was our first wedding at Regiment Way Golf Club and we thought that the venue was great and the staff very helpful and we look forward to working there again soon.
Finally, we would like to wish Donna and Jason all the best for their future together and thank them for using us to capture their special day.

Donna and Jason's photographs are available to view in the 'Client albums' section of our website.

New price packages for 2012!

Laurence James Photography have released five new wedding price packages for 2012.

We revised our price plans to make them easier to understand and we are certain that there is a price package that will suit everyone - whatever your budget!

We realised that some couples don't want to be tied into a package that forces them to buy an album. We believe that with the growing use of social media technology and web based print services, people would rather get creative with a high resolution copyright free CD/DVD of all their wedding photos, than own an album.

Of course! We offer a variety of albums as well and we are happy to add them to any of our packages. Just ask!

We still have some dates free for 2011, so if you are getting married this year and still haven't booked a wedding photographer, don't worry, get in touch. You could qualify for a late booking and save up to 20%.

If you would like to find out more you can view our wedding packages here or you can contact us.
