Beverley & Tom enjoyed a beautiful summer day for their wedding at St Nicholas Church in Canewdon, Essex. Their special day was the relaxed, informal occasion that they’d hoped for, complete with a visit from a Rossi’s ice-cream van! Beverley & her guests tucked into ’99s’, perfect to cool everyone down in the sunshine! Their reception was one of the first to be held in the lovely new orangery at The Lawn in Rochford, & the hand-made gingerbread figures made perfect place settings!
As the World Cup final approaches this weekend we know of two little cuties who will be cheering on Spain!! They took part in our World Cup portrait promotion in June, sporting the strip of their Dad’s favourite team! Their portraits made a wonderful Fathers Day gift for him…and now that Spain are in the final, he must be a very happy man!
Alison & James’ wedding was a perfect day full of emotion ~ laughter and tears a-plenty!
Married at Avenue Baptist Church in Westcliff on Sea, their reception was held in the grounds of James’ parents home in Hook End, Essex. Their guests enjoyed high tea in a beautiful marquee laden with china tea-cups and cake stands bursting with goodies! A hog-roast followed in the evening while the guests danced the night away.
Having known Alison since she was a little girl, being able to photograph her wedding day was truly extra special for photographer Sally Claydon.

Penny & Dave win the record for the most number of bridesmaids this year with a magnificent TEN!!! All the lovely young ladies helped Penny & Dave enjoy their special day at Vaulty Manor. Here’s the first few little ones leading the bridal party down the aisle…plus a sneak preview of other shots of the day!
Our work experience student Grace had a fantastic time modelling for our Sweet Sixteen Photography portfolio! “It was an amazing day and I’m so pleased with the photos!” Grace got involved in preparations for our launch party, so has learned as much about wallpapering and event-planning as she has about photography!
Here is our beautiful Alix who helped us out by being photographed for our Sweet Sixteen Photography portfolio. None of our youngsters are professional models, but they could be!! They all did a fantastic job ~ and enjoyed every minute of it too! So, teenagers everywhere, dig out your posh frock, grab your friends and phone Studio Rochford to book your Sweet Sixteen Photoshoot!
. . . We have lift-off!! . . . Operation Sweet Sixteen has been a massive undertaking over the past month or so. We finally had everything in place for the launch party yesterday, even if we did have only one second to spare (literally, we were still doing the finishing touches to our make-up when our guests started to arrive!).The launch prompted us to completely decorate the shop (inside and out!) in time for us to unveil the photo’s and products to our guests and models. All of us here were stacked up against it, the huge to do list and the very short space of time in which to finish it all was manic, (to say the least), but, true to form we managed it.
The party was a huge success and everyone had a lovely time. It seems there’s lots of interest out there for Sweet Sixteen Photography, and all of us here at Studio Rochford are very enthusiastic and exhilarated about its future!
We would like to say a HUGE thank you to all our photoshoot suppliers ~ based here in Rochford. Ellis Hairdressing, Rio, Purple Rose and The Lawn have all been amazingly supportive and we couldn’t have done it without their help…. And of course our sincerest thanks to our beautiful and handsome models, they were brilliant!
We have designed a totally new exciting product. The first of its kind in the UK, (that we know of) which, offers to capture the celebration of this chapter in your life.
We are offering a photo-shoot with a difference!
Using one of Essex premier venues, we will bring out the inner fashion model as we produce glamorous portraits of you in your prom attire. Then a quick change into casual clothes for relaxed, fun photos with the friends who share your life. Finally we explore your interests and capture the creative, sporty, talented you!
This is a completely unique aspect of prom photography which we are very excited about, please feel free to view the Sweet Sixteen Photography website at:
