Prested Hall Essex Prested Hall is discreetly hidden down a long drive in 75 acres of parkland, just off the A12 between Chelmsford and Colchester.

Wedding Season has begun!
What a way to kick off the Wedding Photography Season; a beautiful venue with an even more beautiful & fun loving couple. Dominique & James. A truly special couple.
Spains Hall, Finchingfield – Essex
Spains Hall Estate is just outside the beautiful village of Finchingfield; a village that is in the best part untouched from the 17th Century and could be mistaken for a period drama film set. The modern stable-conversion of SPains Hall, has to be one of the best mixes of traditional and contemporary I’ve had the pleasure of photographing. A truly romantic, elegant wedding venue with stunning Gardens and beautiful quaint picturesque cottages that are authentically vintage. As a wedding Photographer I was spoilt by the veritable feast of photo opportunities, the cottages, the grounds, the two main wedding venues both the Stable and the main house. – Beautiful – absolutely stunning.
