The Wedding of Rebecca and Chris | St Thomas Church and Westwood Park | Gavin Conlan Essex Wedding Photographer | www.gavinconlan.com

Yesterday I had the absolute honour of photographing the wedding of Rebecca and Chris, they held their ceremony at the gorgeous St Thomas Church in Brentwood and their reception at the beautiful Westwood Park in Colchester.

I decided to post a selection of teaser images while I prepare their online slideshow, I really hope you love what you see here and I cannot wait to show you more.

Their online slideshow is NOW LIVE and available for viewing below their images...

I would like to again take this opportunity to formally thank Rebecca and Chris for allowing me to be a part of their special day, you are such a beautiful couple and I wish you both a lifetime of happiness together.

a few months ago i had the pleasure shooting with Charley again, it seems so long ago that we enjoyed some sunshine in London so in celebration of today's weather I've decided to post a selection of images from this shoot.  We ended up shooting on the Millennium Bridge and the steps of St Paul's Cathedral, St Paul's Cathedral at night is even more beautiful and using the spotlights which light up the front of the building I was able to achieve these shots...

I hope you enjoy the images, have a great day!! - Gavin

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 ......

Photo shoot with Kelly Pepper | Gavin Conlan Essex Wedding & Portrait Photographer | www.gavinconlan.com

This was my 3rd photo shoot with Kelly this time taking place in Bermondsey Village near London Bridge.  It's a location I use a lot because it gives me so many possibilities for backdrops and it's fairly quiet too so you don't get disturbed while shooting there.

Kelly is musician and songwriter, you should check out her website which contains all the links to her work.  If you'd rather check out her youtube channel directly you can do so here where you'll have access to her latest tracks.

All images were shot using a mixture of available light and off camera flash.

Hope you enjoy these images.

Take care!!!

Nearly two weeks ago what turned out to be one of the last days of decent weather before the April showers started we decided to shoot some imagery.  We started off in Bermondsey Village then moved over to More London on the Southbank, More London is a great area near London Bridge Underground Station but unfortunately like most parts of London nowadays its private property so you need to prepare yourself for dodging security guards.  

It really does annoy me that your everyday tourist has no problems taking photographs but as soon as you pull out a bigger camera you get jumped on and made to feel like you doing something so badly wrong - I personally think these job worth security guards need to start using common sense.

Again this shoot was with the lovely Dina she's been featured once or twice before - we always have a right good old laugh shooting and we always get great results, I hope you enjoy these images.

For those that are interested in the technical side of things all these shots were taken using only available light and shot with a Nikon 50mm prime lens.
