Evan and Holly’s Dad’s Blog

Hi and welcome to my blog. Filled with images from my recent weddings, engagement shoots, portrait sessions and corporate work. Most importantly its a window into my world...a world where family takes an upper hand and I have the images to prove it. Hopefully you'll take a few minutes to browse and once addicted set the blog as a bookmark. If you have any comments please feel free to add them or just get in touch.

For The Record: The images that I put on the blog from recent weddings may not always be the best or even ones you might expect. They are things that I saw, that I like that I want to share. Sometimes they are part of a quirky story or show a tender or ironic side to a wedding.

Judy and Tom — Wedding Photography in Stansted, Essex

By Rob

Never before had I used the expression “watch the finger”. But clearly with the crowd at Judy and Tom’s wedding it became a catch phrase I’ll never be able to escape from. Of course before Judy and Tom’s wedding I had never had my head rubbed like a rappers scratch deck either so I’ll chalk it up to a series of firsts. Or was it just because it was only my second Essex wedding. Only the photography gods will know!

Dad writes the speech…he said to me “I’ve had 14 months to write this…suppose I should get on it”. You don’t say!

I debated including this shot a 1000 times. In the end, I love it. It ain’t everyones cuppa, but I do have a safe shot in the bog — sorry bag.

Surely that’s some sort of secret handshake!

Some folks might wonder why I totally love this shot….if you aren’t wondering, perhaps you should give me a call :)

Tom wastes no time and enjoys a quick kip….

Part of the unique candy/music theme. Rachmaninov, Grohl, Hetfield, Cash — that’s quite a bit of diversity!

Nan…gotta love her!

Stay off the A13…its a car park out there! (no, most of you won’t get it)

Crikey…I’ve seen a few good DJs in my time. But the chaps at Gemini Sounds had the most incredible light set up. They even gave a bit of spice to the speeches. See more later!

No…I’m not trying to pick a fight. It was there…they were there…blahdy blah.

D-I-S-C-Oh my!

The guys at Gemini never really let me ‘sneak around’ (I’m not complaining)

025 096 Judy and Tom Wedding Photography in Stansted, Essex
The skills, precision and extreme anticipation known as “holy cow…how did that happen”

025 097 Judy and Tom Wedding Photography in Stansted, Essex
After an hour and half, she went all trance on me!

And now to make a hero out of my witty sidekick. I can honestly say that I didn’t have a shake of disappointment when I saw what he gave me this morning.
