The Wedding of Tilly & Jamie | Langtons House & Mount Avenue Banqueting Suite, Essex | Gavin Conlan Essex Wedding Photographer | www.gavinconlan.com

This past Friday was the wedding of my friend Jamie and his wife Tilly, I've know Jamie since our Odeon Cinema days back in the late 90's.

They had their ceremony at Langtons House in Hornchurch and their reception at the Mount Avenue Banqueting Suite in Shenfield.  I've never photographed at Langtons before but I knew I wanted to shoot something a bit different to what I've seen on the internet, the interior of the house has a beautiful staircase which I had to use and I also loved the space of the room with all it's natural light.  

As you'll see when you scroll down this post I've included a set of teaser images to keep you entertained and NOW THEIR ONLINE SLIDESHOW IS AVAILABLE FOR VIEWING - this can be found underneath their images at the bottom of this post.

Tilly, Jamie thank you for choosing me to photograph your wedding and I hope these images help to maintain your memories of your special day.  

I wish you a lifetime of happiness together.

The Wedding of Christine & Paul | High Rocks, Kent | Gavin Conlan Essex Wedding Photographer | www.gavinconlan.com

What an amazing weekend...

Combining the marriage of one of my best friends to his beautiful new wife Christine, all of us hanging out for a couple of nights and then the little post wedding shoot with my awesome team of helpers ( you know who you are!!).  

There were so many classic moments, belly aching laughs and the occasional slightest of little hangovers on my part which only seemed to come on every time I crouched down to get a shot.

Christine and Paul got married at the beautiful venue in Royal Tunbridge Wells called High Rocks, if you've never been there then you should because the rocks make for a great day out.

I wanted to post a small selection of teaser images of their amazing day.  

Their STUNNING online slideshow is NOW LIVE please scroll to the bottom of this post to view it.  

I am also going to include some classic behind the scenes shots from Sunday's session so you can see what actually goes into making a great image.......

Paul, Christine - thank you for giving me the honour of capturing your wedding day and I hope you love your photographs - have an amazing honeymoon and I'll see you soon.

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 !!!!

London Bridal shoot - My top 50 favourite images | Gavin Conlan Essex Wedding and Portrait Photographer | www.gavinconlan.com | www.facebook.com/gavinconlanphotography

In honour of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations I thought it would be the perfect time to showcase the amazing Bridal shoot I did a couple of months ago in our gorgeous Capital City.

We had the absolute honour to be able to shoot at the top of the iconic Gherkin building in London's Bishopsgate area, the stunning Leadenhall Market and the fantastic Millennium Bridge with St Paul's Cathedral making the perfect backdrop.

London is an amazing City and when you merge that with a beautiful model and a stunning wedding dress I was blessed with the opportunity of capturing an endless amount of beautiful images.  With this post I decided to showcase my top 50 favourites in no particular order - I hope you love them too.

All images were shot using a mixture of available/natural light, video lights and Nikon speedlights.  I am thinking about posting before and after images - if you think this is something you'd like to see and could possibly help you with your photography and editing in some way please leave a comment below....

If you are interested in booking a session with me you can get in touch via my website or on here.

I hope whatever your doing in honour of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations this weekend that you have amazing fun with your loved ones...

God Bless the Queen and thank you Her Majesty for our extended bank holiday ......
