Sarah & Kyle's Wedding at Colchester Town Hall

2010-10-25T12:09:00.000-07:00

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing Sarah & Kyle's Wedding at Colchester Town Hall, where they held their ceremony and Reception.

Sarah & Kyle were such fun loving couple and great to photograph, along with all their family and friends who were very warm in allowing me to capture them in the moment too.

I would like to wish them a lovely honeymoon, and can't wait to see you guys to hear about your adventure!

Here are a few images from the day, Enjoy!

DONEGAN FAMILY LIFESTYLE SHOOT

2010-09-26T10:58:00.001-07:00

Well, after several failed attempts at getting to do this shoot due to bad weather, we finally managed it today - and it was lovely! Little Erin was a true superstar (and Mum and Dad did pretty well too!) With the weather staying dry, we were able to take the shoot over to the park, where Erin got to wear her wellies and play on the slide. We now have the hard task of narrowing down the best to edit - not so easy when all of them are so beautiful! Here a just a couple to begin with....

HEADWAY COASTAL DOGATHON

2010-09-20T10:59:00.000-07:00

Well, the rain stayed away thank goodness for the Headway dogathon held at Clacton-on-Sea yesterday. It was rather blustery, but I think that just moved people along faster! A lovely cross section of dogs attended, and they all looked as though they were enjoying the competitions!

Snoopies were in attendance also, giving pet feeding advice and handing out samples of the 'fish for dogs' food range that they sell in their grooming salon http://www.snoopies.ws/

The pictures will be ready to view soon via the client section of the website: http://www.garywilsonphotographic.co.uk/ - my favourite? it has to be the cute shot of Lilly and Mini, the chihuahuas (but I am biased, because Lilly is our pet and Mini belongs to Geoff and Kelly from Snoopies) Other great posers were the black and tan German Shepherd and the lovely white Husky.

Keep checking out the site in October to see the 2011 Mans Best Friend calendar, which is going to raise money for Headway and is being supported by ourselves and Snoopies. The calendar is going to feature the beautiful dogs that we have been lucky enough to work with over 2010, and a big thanks to all of the owners for agreeing to let us use the images of their treasured companions! We hope as many of you as possible will be able to buy a copy - and maybe even sell a few to friends and family :)

Here are a few images from the day

Enjoy

Gemma & Allan's Wedding at Stoke by Nayland Golf Club

2010-09-06T11:12:00.000-07:00

Earlier this month Sarah and I photographed the wedding of Gemma and Allan Bullock at the wonderful Stoke by Nayland Golf Club.

We started with Gemma who had stayed at the venue the night before with her bridesmaids, to do the bridal prep shots, where we got some great images, and helped Gemma relax before the big moment!

We then left Gemma and the girls to catch up with the groom, Allan who had arrived in good time to meet the guests and for us to capture a few images of Allan with his best man and ushers.

After the formal photography, Gemma & Allan had arranged to take a trip out in a golf buggy up to the 10th hole to have some personal bride and groom photos which was a great opportunity for them to chill out and have some personal bride & groom portraiture which they both found really fun, and we were able to capture some really beautiful images of them both.

Back to the reception and the best man did not disappoint and the room was filled with lots of laughter, and there were a few tears too!

All in all it was a great day, which we were privilege to be a part of.

Below are a few images from the day...

On Saturday 20th February Sarah and I Had the pleasure of photographing Jenny & Roberts Wedding at Langtons House in Hornchurch.

The weather held up nicely although a bit cold (brrrr!), this gave us an oportunity to photograph Jenny & Robert in and around the beautiful grounds of Langtons House. I wish to thank both Jenny & Robert whom braved the cold chill to capture some stunning shots!

The ceremony was truly beautiful and all of their closest friends and family were there to witness the commitment of their love to each other.

As the light faded and the rain rolled in, it was time to head off to the reception to celebrate, it was a lovely evening filled with fun, laughter, and emotion, and we like to congratulate Jenny & Robert, and to thank all of their guests for allowing us to capture this special day for such a great couple!

2009-12-31T02:48:00.000-08:00

Well 2009 is almost at an end, and I felt the need to reflect on how 2009 went for myself, my business, and my family!

This actuallly took some time to think of all the things that have happened.
Starting a new business from scratch in April, meeting new people within the industry, attending Jeff Turnbull's Training courses,findingmyself a great mentor & sharing a common goal of creating stunning images that people love with my peers on Jeff's course days.

I'd like to thank the following people for giving me the privilage of being the official photographer ;
Collette & Matt, Nalia & Jonliegh, Lisa & James, Cheryl &Ton, Caroline & Mal,
Carla & Jim, Holly & Weysi, Robin & Xyoulin,Helen & Liegh, Zoe & Dan, Julie & Nick, and Rebecca & Simon. of which all were a fantastic day packed full of emotion, fun & laughter!
I'd like to wish all of these couples for booking with me, I am really glad that I had exceeded their expectations, also to all the families that I photographed this year too

To my personal life, seeing my children grow other year older, and watch their lives develop, Carmen attending her childcare course, and finding herself growing as a person, with a taste of what she truly loves and wants to pursue as a career!

My son Liam, who is still loving school and being a social real magnet e.g (running him about here, there, and everywhere!).
My darling wife Sarah, who has supported, & assisted me in my venture, whom without i would be lost. finding herself in a new job role in the care industry, in which she really loves, is passionate about, and is really good at! plus having the energy to help me in my business, working her weekend off being my trusted assistant, and people organiser!!

Finally a big thank you to all of our customers, friends old & new, for a brilliant 2009, and here's to a great 2010!!

Gary.
