  • Wedding photographer in Essex (and the rest of the world) – Gavin Woollard

    This is the blog for Essex Wedding photographer Gavin Woollard.
    That's me!
    Welcome...
    I must admit that this blogging lark is all a bit new to me. So bear with me if the blog isn't as up to date as it could be but I am a quick learner!
    I have, for the last 23 plus years been one of the busiest working wedding photographers in Essex. I have now photographed over 1150 wedding but always put 110% into every single one and still get butterflies in my stomach before each one!
    That's the apologies over with for (maybe) not being as up to date as some other Photographers on my blog.
    I am fortunate enough to have very good connections with many leading wedding venues in Essex and have been a recommended supplier at Hedingham Castle, Spains Hall, Stock Brook manor, Gaynes Park, The Reid Rooms, Newland Hall, Vaulty Manor, Hylands House and Ivy Hill for many years.
    I have worked at all the leading wedding venues in Essex and other areas and have examples from most at my lovely air conditioned Victorian Granary studio in the picturesque village of Writtle.
    All of my albums are personally designed (not from templates or by an album company) with your choices and options in mind.

    So enjoy a few images but best of get in touch with me at gavinwoollard @ gmail.com
    (just take the spaces out ) and I will arrange a time for you to come to my lovely air conditioned studio where we can sit and have a chat about your plans for your special day and how I might help you to get the very best out of your wedding photography.

    ...Most of all I always remember that you want a wedding , not a photo shoot...

Reid Rooms Wedding Photography – Andrew and Hannah

Reid Rooms Wedding  photography

The Reid Rooms in Margaret Roding, Essex was the setting for Andrew and Hannah’s lovely summer wedding.  Hannah runs a dance school  and her lovely bridesmaids are also dancers.

The great thing about photographing dancers is that they are used to performing in front of people and are naturally good in front of the camera.

The wedding was a delight to photograph and Hannah looked radiant. Andrew was fortunate enough to get to choose the colous of the bridesmaids dresses to match the colours of  Reading Football club , his favourite team.

At the church Hannah was delighted to see that many of the girls she had trained had made their way to see her arrive at the church.

After the lovely church service and a handful of brief family pictures everyone made their way back to the Reid Rooms where I did their wedding photography in the glorious Essex sunshine.

In the evening Andrew and Hannah had arranged for Chinese lanterns to be let off.  The sight of  well-lubricated wedding guests  mixing with  fire and wind was quite hilarious , if a little dangerous to watch.

All in all it was a stuning wedding for a lovely couple.

Spains Hall Wedding Photographer – an autumn engagement portrait

Spains Hall Wedding Photographer.

 

My first wedding at Spains Hall this year is for James and Emma. As with most of my weddings they were recommended to me, in this case by their venue.

Spains Hall just outside Finchingfield in Essex is a stunnning wedding venue and one I am fortunate enough to work at regularly.

We decided to do their pre wedding portraits at their wedding venue and were treated to a gorgeous Autumnal Essex day. We wandered around the grounds for an hour or so chatting about how their day will go and coming up with some great locations for their wedding pictures.

James and Emma chose their favourite picture from the shoot to have enlarged and mounted so their wedding guests can sign the border around the picture then once that is done they will come back and have it framed up to hang in their house. Its a great idea that came originally from Australia where an album and a signature print are standard items that all couples getting married choose.

This is the image they chose.
