The first wedding to be featured here took place at St Mary's Church, Great Baddow, Essex on Saturday 19th July 2008.
The bride (Lucy) keeps her horses at a farm in Danbury, where I have my business unit with the main Headquarters for The English Toastmasters Association, Richard Palmer Toastmaster and Classic Nomad Disco and Light Show Experience. That is how I met Lucy and how I eventually came to look after both Lucy and Steve on their wedding day.
I have a great admiration for the providers of the services for Lucy and Steve's wedding and there is an interesting story to tell, which may help other brides when planning their weddings.
When Lucy first approached me about her wedding, she was stressed. She had been talking to friends who thought that she did not have enough time to get a venue and the services that she would need to make sure that she was going to get the day of her dreams.
My first thought was to reassure her that there was plenty of time for planning her wedding and to offer the best professional advice to help her have her day.
  First a piece of blog from the Court On Camera web site written by my good friend David Court who takes the most wonderful wedding photographs.
Tuesday, 22 July 2008 Lucy and Steve's Wedding Photographs - St Mary's Church Great Baddow , Furze Hill and Ivy Hill
"On Saturday I had the great honour and pleasure to be invited to photograph Lucy and Steve's wedding at St Mary's Church Great Baddow. The reception being held afterwards at Furze Hill and Ivy Hill Margaretting.
Lucy has a great love of horses, and what better way to arrive and leave the church than in a carriage drawn by two greys provided by Heritage Horse Drawn Carriage Masters.
  As is fitting Lucy got carried away.........
My good friend Richard Palmer was the Toastmaster for the day - as well as providing the evening's entertainment with the Classic Nomad Disco.
Richard is also a family friend of Lucy, whose horses are stabled next to Richard's Office, and whose family home he passes every day.
Absolutely no pressure then on me as an Essex Wedding Photographer, having been recommended by one of the country's top Toastmasters, to photograph a friend's wedding at Furze Hill and Ivy Hill in his presence!
