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 !!!!

- Gavin

Baby Jack | New Born Photography | Gavin Conlan Essex Wedding and Portrait Photographer | www.gavinconlan.com | www.facebook.com/gavinconlanphotography

I recently had the pleasure of photographing this gorgeous little boy Jack aged 10 days, he was absolutely fantastic and already had the posing technique of a seasoned professional model.

The key for me with this shoot was his little personality I really wanted to focus on this in every shot I took and to make the captures more flexible everything was shot using a mixture of available light and video light.  I don't like shooting using flash on someone so young as I think it could become uncomfortable on the babies eyes.  

The shoot was so much fun we captured some great expressions inbetween the occasional power nap (baby Jack not me), you can view a selection of my favourites from the shoot below and I really hope you love them as much as I do.  

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

Last Sunday I photographed my niece and nephew, I wanted the images to ooze their personalities and the close bond they share together.  All the shots were taken using my portable studio it's amazing the results you can achieve with little space.

I even managed to apply some of my trademark toning techniques to some of the shots, I hope you enjoy this selection and feel free to leave a comment if you do....

Have a great weekend!!!!!

Personal Family Portraits | Gavin Conlan UK Wedding & Portrait Photographer based in Essex | www.gavinconlan.com

I thought I'd post some personal photographs today, I took these over Christmas when we were all together - nothing beats having the whole family together.

Modelling for us today is my sister, my nephew and two of my little cousins (oh and the rest of the avengers crew :)... All photographs were taken during the half time of the football who says men can't multi-task - not only was I listening to the half time banter I also managed to capture these stunning photographs of my relatives. 

All photographs were taken using one nikon speedlight shot through a lastolite Ezybox softbox.

I hope you enjoy and have a great day.

Ps.. incase you were wondering yes we did win the football match....

I love this photograph - family portrait session | www.gavinconlan.com

There are certain images you can't explain but just fall in love with and this is one of those.  I was photographing my little cousins a couple of weeks ago and absolutely adore this shot it's jammed packed full of his personality and it just makes me smile so I thought I'd share it with you all.
