Our last wedding of 2007 was Nicola and Robert who were married at Gosfield Church and Smeetham Hall Barn, Essex,
The last wedding of the year the weather was bright and sunny but very very cold and very very windy.
We meet Nicola at her Mum and Dad’s house and was blessed with a large conservatory which was ideal for photography.
Special thanks to Nicola’s hairdresser and make up artist who had Nicola ready early which give us time to get some very nice photographs.
The guys were met at Gosfield church and had to endure the cold and the windy conditions but fun was had by all.
One of the nice things when photographing a wedding at Gosfield church is you have complete freedom within the church.
After the wedding ceremony we went straight onto Smeetham Hall Barn, Essex.
Once again due to the cold and wind the guests were very quick coming into the group photographs.
Nicola was a star to photograph as not once did she complain about how cold it was so very well done Nicola.
So for our last wedding of the year we were tested by the weather but had a lovely couple who had fun and were a joy to photograph.
Kevin and Sabrina would like to wish Nicola and Robert a very happy married life together and thank you for booking Pengelly Photography wedding photographers Essex to capture your special wedding day

Our second from last wedding of the year was the wedding of Sophie and James who were married at The Swan Hotel, Lavenham, Suffolk.
Although the weather was cold it stayed dry long enough for us to get all our photographs taken outside.
We met Sophie at the Swan Hotel where she was getting ready and was able to get some really good preparation shots.
James was ready well before time so we were able to take our time around the Swan Hotel getting some really good Groom and bestman photographs
When we met Sophie again when she had got ready, wow what can we say apart from absolutely stunning.
Everything went very well and all the guests came into the photographs when required, we think this was the case so they could get back into the warm bar.
Sophie and James really were a real joy to photograph and the camera loved Sophie.
Kevin and Sabrina would like to wish them both a very happy married life together and thank you for allowing Pengelly Photography wedding photographers suffolk to capture your wedding day.

This was our last wedding of 2008 and what a fantastic wedding to finish the wedding season on for Pengelly Photography wedding photographer Suffolk and Essex.
We had the very great pleasure of photographing the wedding of Michelle and Martin who were married at the stunning wedding venue Gosfield Hall, Gosfield, Essex.
When we arrived we were greeted by a very excited Michelle who was in the process of having her hair and make up completed we knew straight away Michelle was going to look stunning.
Gosfield Hall really is a stunning wedding venue to get married at and once again the help we received from Sonia ( wedding coordinator) was first class.
Once Michelle was ready we went up to the fantastic Rococco suite and were able to capture fantastic wedding photographs, we do have to say Michelle made our day easy with her posing and beauty.
Martin was a little nervous when we meet him but as with Michelle he and the guys were a joy to photograph.
The whole day really did work like clockwork we had a few group shot to complete but the guest were fantastic as they all came into the photographs when requested, this always helps us and the bride&groom as we are able to allow the bride&groom more social time so they can actually talk to their guests.
Michelle and Martin were great fun to work with and we have have to say a special thank you to Michelle as she had to cope with the cold but did not complain once.
Kevin and Sabrina would like to wish Michelle and Martin a very happy married life together and thank you for allowing Pengelly Photography wedding photographers Essex to capture their special day.

On Saturday we photographed Helen and Kevin’s wedding at Layer Marney Tower, Essex.
From the very start this was a fantastic wedding, we met Helen at her Mum and Dad’s house to start the days photography.
Helen looked stunning in her wedding dress and we had a perfect setting with Mum and Dad’s beautiful conservatory as our makeshift studio.
We then went onto to meet the guys at Layer Marney Tower, Essex and although it was sunny it was very very cold, we was able to have fun with all the guys.
Must say that Helen and Kevin’s guest’s were fantastic as they all came into all the shots very quickly, the lure of the warm room must have helped.
Helen must take special praise as she only had a strapless wedding dress on and not once did she complain about being cold.
Also a very special guest arrived before the speeches yes we had the real Father Christmas make an appearance much to the delight of the children but also the adults.
Both Kevin and Sabrina wish Helen and Kevin a very happy life together.

We had the pleasure of photographing Jessica and Gareth wedding at Walton Church, Felixstowe, Suffolk then onto Haughley Park Barn, Haughley, Suffolk.
Jessica looked absolutely stunning and had the look of a catwalk model, the only thing missing was the weather which was not very kind to us on Saturday.
Even though the weather was not kind to us we still was able to get some stunning photographs of Jessica and Gareth.
We also have to say a special thank you to the owners of Haughley Park Barn, Suffolk for allowing us to use the inside of the house only the second time this has happened due to the weather.
Jessica and Gareth were a fun couple to work with and we do wish them the very best for the furture.

Today I had the pleasure of a day out in London with fellow full time professional wedding photographer David Islip.
Although David is one of our main competitors he is also a very good friend of mine, which does mean competitors do get on!!
We went up to London on the invite of Nikon, we both use Nikon cameras and are part of their professional support service which is great backing to have when you are a wedding photographer in a pressure environment and spent the morning viewing their new Nikon D3X.
After spending the morning with Nikon we then went onto the National Portrait Gallery to see a very inspiring exhibition of the world acclaimed photographer Annie Leibovitz. If you ever get chance to visit London then make your way to this gallery as the work is stunning.

We had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Debbie and Tony who married at Stoke By Nayland Church, Essex and then Rouses Farm, Essex.
The weather was sunny but very very cold when we met Debbie at Rouses Farm, Essex where Debbie was getting ready, while Debbie was having her hair and make up completed we photographed the lovely marquee that was set up in the farm grounds.
We met the guys at Stoke By Nayland Church for some informal photographs before Debbie made her grand arrival.
It was a real shame that we were not allowed to photograph during the ceremony as this is the most important part of the day, but we will always respect the wishes of the church.
The rest of the day run like clock work and Debbie had arranged for a lovely Shetland pony to be at the church dressed as a reindeer which was a hit with the guests.
It was so lovely to photograph a wedding where we did not have large amounts of group photographs to take so most of the wedding was photographed reportage so Debbie and Tony had lots of social time.
Both Kevin and Sabrina would like to wish Debbie and Tony a very happy married life together and thank you for booking Pengelly Photography wedding photographers Essex to capture their special day
