The Wedding of Gemma & Steven | St Margarets Church & Three Rivers Golf & Country Club | Gavin Conlan Essex Wedding Photographer | www.gavinconlan.com

Last Saturday was the wedding of Gemma and Steven - they held the ceremony at St Margarets Church in Stanford-le-Hope followed by the reception at Three Rivers Golf and Country Club in Purleigh, Essex.

Looking back at the weather for this past week they were so lucky as Saturday was glorious, Three Rivers in the sunshine is a beautiful venue with stunning views over looking the golf course.  

I would recommend this venue to everyone because the staff made you feel so welcome and was always on hand to help.  You'll see by some of the shots too that the interior has lots of mirrors and hopefully by now you'll know I love shooting reflections - I was totally in my element.

I was joking with Gemma the night before the wedding and she was trying to tell me how she wasn't looking forward to the posing and in her words "isn't very photogenic" I remember laughing at the time because I knew she would be great - I'm sure you'll agree with me that she looks beautiful in these images.  Steven on the other hand I'm sure had been practising because he was straight into the pose needing very little direction, he even had the head tilt perfect.  I had so much fun with both of them it just makes you want to be able to spend more time shooting together, it's a shame things like the wedding breakfast and speeches get in the way.... 

Gemma, Steven I hope you both absolutely love these images and I can't wait to show you more.

The Wedding of Michelle & John | Pembroke Lodge, Richmond Park | Gavin Conlan London Wedding Photographer | www.gavinconlan.com

This past Friday was the wedding Michelle and John at the glorious setting of Pembroke Lodge situated in the heart of Richmond Park, if you've never been to the Park then you must it's beautiful.

I met up with the bride and groom at The Richmond Gate Hotel on the outskirts of the park, the hotel is stunning and within seconds of stepping foot through the door my ideas were flowing.  I absolutely love the style of the hotel's interior it really suits my current style of photography and post production.

Michelle and John are a lovely couple and the fun they have together shone through the day it was a real joy to capture their wedding imagery.

I must also take this opportunity to thank the crew (Emma - for veil throwing superbly) and the other people for carrying my kit between locations, helping me hold my balance (sort of) while standing on a stump and for generally making it really enjoyable especially as it was raining on us... 

Their amazing wedding day slideshow is NOW LIVE for you all to enjoy, please scroll through the images where you'll find their slideshow at the bottom of the post.

The Wedding of Lorraine & Ricky | Ashwells, Brentwood | Gavin Conlan Essex Wedding Photographer | www.gavinconlan.com

Last Friday was a momentous day, one of my best friends got married to his soul mate the beautiful Lorraine.

For those that know me I have a real issue about get old and leading up to their wedding I had a bit of a wobble, in my mind we are all still 16 messing about without a care in the world but in reality we are adults doing adult things (well sort of !!)

It was an absolute honour to photograph their wedding day at the gorgeous Ashwells Sports and Country Club in Brentwood, I could not have relaxed watching someone else shoot their day.  Working surrounded by all my mates was a bit weird (in a good way) at first but it just made for a wicked day.

I really hope you love looking at these images, their online slideshow is NOW LIVE - you can view this underneath their images.  I hope you all love it as much as I do.

Rick, Lorraine I Love You both to bits..... I wish you nothing but a lifetime of happiness together !!!!
