The first of my two weddings this week was at the beautiful Leez Priory in Essex.

Essex wedding photography, Simon Carr: Sarah and Ian at Gaynes Park.
Another fine day at Gaynes Park over the May bank holiday, where I was the wedding photographer to Sarah and Ian. I work at Gaynes Park on quiet a regular basis, I always try to find new angles for portraits on every visit. This keeps things fresh and challenging for me!
Essex wedding photography Simon Carr: Gaynes Park, Sarah and Jannich
I had two visits to Gaynes Park over the May Bank Holiday weekend. The first was the wedding of Sarah and Jannich who had travelled all the way from Singapore, with many friends also coming from Denmark.

Brighton 2010. MyVision photojournalism assignment

My assignment was a funky B&B called Snooze. Usually you would find this trendy establishment full of guests who enjoy the ‘difference’ that Snooze offers with it’s themed rooms, and warm hospitality. But, as I was there mid-week in the winter...
Bryony and James wedding photography at Crondon Park, Essex
On 30th January I was the wedding photographer for Bryony and James at Crondon Park in Essex. A very cold day, but the quality of the late afternoon light made up for the chill.
