Jo  spent the day at Focus on Imaging and has returned very excited!  New products are coming to market in the next few weeks from some of our favourite suppliers - watch out for pearlescent paper!

What a cute little lady!  We’re really enjoying photographing children for our Kodak Portrait Awards promotion.  A photo from each session will be entered into the competition with the winning client winning a magnificent £1,000!

Andrejka & Michael chose the bride’s childhood home for their intimate ceremony & celebrations.  The garden provided a beautiful location for romantic photos of the bride and groom.

Wedding Photographer Jo Tennant LMPA captured the emotion at Paul & Kimberley’s wedding ceremony held at St Peter & St Paul’s Church in Hockley.  Kimberley & Paul then had a fantastic reception for family and friends held in the grounds of Paul’s parent’s home.

Amanda & Ian were keen to have very informal photos at their wedding, held at the Church of Our Saviour, Chelmsford followed by afternoon tea at Milsom’s in Dedham.  Jo Tennant LMPA had the privilege of helping Amanda choose her wedding dress, a testament to the close relationship we often develop with our clients.  Jo relished the chance to abandon the usual list of groups and get stuck in to photographing the guests in a relaxed, unobtrusive way, as well as all the beautiful details.  How she kept her hands off the gorgeous strawberry scones and abundance of traditional sweets we will never know!

Cara & David’s quintessentially English wedding was held at St Peter’s Church, Paglesham followed by a reception held in a marquee locally.  The family had planted ‘a host of golden daffodils’ to ensure a glorious display for the big day!  Tiny bridesmaids in white dresses playing and swinging in the trees added to the wonderful scene!

 Tracey & Geoff chose a stunning black & white with shocking pink theme for their wedding at Lords Golf and Country Club, Rayleigh, Essex.

I’ve realised that updating a blog is a bit like keeping a diary - something that I’ve never been good at. I start with great intentions then get caught up in real life and suddenly it’s months since the last entry. So - my early New Year’s resolution is to try to keep this as updated as possible with whatever we are doing at the time, be that weddings or chatting about the best face cream for pre-40 wrinkles. Let’s see if I managed to break it before 2009 even sets in!!

Award of Excellence at the MPA/BIPP Essex & Greater London Print CompetitionEntering a print competition is always nerve wracking, I’ve just entered my second one and pleased to say didn’t come away empty handed. The question is whether I’m brave enough to enter the British Professional Photography Awards in a few weeks time - we’ll see.

My award came form a print of Emma & Mark’s wedding shot at Leez Priory at the end of May. Thanks to them for making it such a lovely job!
