Cheryl & Trevor got married on a lovely sunny day at St Peter & Paul’s in Hockley, with Father Jeffrey making everyone feel at home in his beautiful church on the hill, dating back to 1220 A.D. After the ceremony we carried on to the reception at Stockbrook Golf & Country Club, where it was lovely to work with Charlotte once again. We did however find time to stop off on the journey to take a few photographs in a rape field - with me standing  on the roof of my car to get the shots, which created more than a little interest from the passing traffic!

Some to enjoy…

It’s always lovely to keep in touch with our brides & grooms…especially when they come back to us for baby photos a year or two later!!  Dawn & Phil had a fantastic wedding at Stockbrook Manor and it was lovely to photograph them in their home with their gorgeous little bundle of fun, 3 month old Thomas.

Studio Rochford are looking forward to meeting lots of brides and grooms at the Hearts Essex Wedding Fair being held at The Brentwood Centre this weekend.  Look out for us on Stand 33!

Jen & Mat were married on 12th September, on another lovely autumn day. Unfortunately for us autumn sun makes for difficult light - but you can give me that over rain any day! The service was held at St Michael’s Church in Galleywood Chelmsford, where Father Andy made us so welcome - giving us a guided tour of the best vantage points - including the pulpit and suggesting how I might manage to gain ground on the two very imposing videographers I was working along side! Denise picked the best spot at the back of the church so as not to be elbowed - I wasn’t quite so lucky!

After the service Jen & Mat treated their guests to fresh Devon pasties in the church yard - no-one needed to  be asked twice, so we were very lucky that two were saved for us - thank you!

It’s always interesting to see how couples personalise their weddings and in Jen & Mat’s case, whose reception was at Stockbrook Manor, it was their wedding cake that stood out for us. Several friends had made dozens of cup cakes independently of each other, all in different cases, all with different toppings. The cake stand was a riot of colour - completely mismatched - and absolutely fantastic - who needs Choccywoccydoodah?

Here’s a couple of favourites - with more here on our facebook page.

Dawn & Phil’s wedding was a wonderful occasion with a huge number of guests and flowers!  Their ceremony was held at St Peter & St Paul’s Church in Hockley which has been popular with a number of our couples this year.  The wedding breakfast was held at Stockbrook Manor and probably wins the award for the most number of guests that we’ve seen for a sit-down meal!  Dawn & Phil were wise to book an additional photographer for their special day which meant that Phil’s preparations could be covered and informal photos of their guests could be captured as well as more formal groups and poses.  Shown here are some pages from their beautiful Graphistudio Wedding Book.
