Jill & Griff at Bush Hill Park Golf Club Enfield

It was raining, it was pouring but this Bush Hill Park Golf Club wedding was never boring!  Jill and Griff had a fantastic laughter-filled time with friends and family for their big day hosted at Enfield’s premier golfing venue. As a fairly private couple we have only included three images for this blog post to respect their sensibilities but wanted to say that despite the incessant heavy downpours that neither Joanna and I, nor Jill and Griff seemed to notice. All events from the civil ceremony, to dining, to evening reception took place at the club and went ultra smoothly, as the club is so used to hosting these special days. Popular with couples not just in Enfield and Winchmore Hill but north London and the Home Counties too. Chef Alisdair is excellent, as is Debbie – your very experienced and friendly wedding co-ordinator.

We like to mention other suppliers in our blog posts because those that really know their stuff and take pride in what they do deserve to be mentioned, as they will add so much more to the day. Another wedding professional well worth a mention was DJ Terry Lewis a multi award winning DJ who was charm personified. Guaranteed to be the life and soul of your party, apart from your lovely London wedding photographers, nothing is too much trouble and he never stops smiling! Just take a look at the party room shot before the guests arrive, there he is, grinning in the background. We know from a testimonial how much Jill and Griff valued his contribution. Bush Hill Park golf club was founded in 1895 as a nine hole course originally. It was converted to a full eighteen by 1913.  In the second world war it was leased to the Anti Aircraft Brigade.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all wedding couples and their families

By Barnet Wedding PhotographersNo Comments

We would like to wish  all our previous wedding couples and their families, and those we will be working with in 2015, a very Merry Christmas and a happy safe and prosperous New Year to you all! We had a fantastic time in 2014 working with and meeting so many great people, and look forward to another twelve months of the same. Time for some family time, that is until our next wedding on the 27th. Here’s a Christmas kiss between us at St Pancras station taken by our youngest son.

Hertfordshire Engagement shoot

London engagement shoot at Trent park

Well before we talk about one of many photo sessions i.e. a Hertfordshire engagement shoot, just to say what a busy time it is for us at the moment! It’s hard to keep this blog up to date between photography editing and all our various assignments. Two to three engagement sessions a week and an average of two full weddings every seven days too. No complaints though, good job we love it! Joanna and I are happy to say we are busy all year round but it just gets a little more intense at this time of year.

Hertfordshire engagement shoot

We made a decision last year not to do any three weddings in a row i.e. Friday Saturday Sunday. This is because although two consecutive big days are fine, the fact we put everything into what we do means that by the third there is a chance one hundred percent becomes ninety five, and that is just not fair for a couples once only wedding day. Downside business wise it did mean saying a polite no to an extra six weddings this year.

Martina and Petrus featured here are getting married in South Africa, and hey we are already booked for their date, so we won’t be going, but we will be wishing them well in spirit! We chose Trent Park near Enfield and Barnet for its mix of woodland, open countryside and lake locations. We had plenty of fun with props which is what this lovely couple wanted, and as keen golfers we set up a tee with Martina’s engagement ring to sit on while they embraced in the background.

Fallen trees from recent storms made for interesting backdrops, and as usual we used a variety of lenses to get different looks and feels for value and variety. For an example of a more urban engagement shoot take a look at this recent post: London Engagement Shoot

London Enfield’s first gay wedding

By Barnet Wedding Photographers, London Wedding Photographer, Wedding VenuesNo Comments

We were delighted to be asked to photograph Peter and Mark’s special day, which unknown to us until we arrived turned out to be London borough of Enfield’s first gay wedding.
Right from the beginning when civil partnerships first came into existence, we have been photographing a great many of them in and around the capital, so this was not really unkown territory for us and great to see now that everyone has the chance to fully marry. From our own research, a highly scientific method that involves the question: “so how long have you been together?” we found the average couple has been with each other for about three years before deciding to tie the knot. For a gay couple it seems to be anywhere from five to ten years. These guys confirmed our research…

Peter is originally of Italian decent, so a large group of friends and family made the trip over for the day. The ceremony was held at one of London’s prettiest registries, namely Enfield’s at Gentlemens Row.

Afterwards we had family and couple shots along the old streets and canal bridges nearby, It is an area we have photographed many times that never feels stale. The reception followed a short ride away at the four star Royal Chace Hotel, again a venue we have covered for many Enfield weddings and receptions.

We would like to wish Peter and Mark all the very best for the future. What was a new event for the area is sure to herald in a new era of equality for ALL couples, and we were very happy to be a part of it.

London headshot photographers

By Barnet Wedding Photographers, London Wedding PhotographerNo Comments

We think the most important fact to state straight away is that if we had to describe ourselves it would be first and foremost as London wedding photographers. We do what we love full time, usually six sometimes seven days a week. A lot of people may think wedding photographers only work at the weekend, we wish! It’s true that the vast majority of big days are either on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday, but for the rest of the week we are busy editing and polishing our images, desiging wedding albums, or meeting with currently booked or potentially new couples.

However we do get requests for other work in the week, for instance as London headshot photographers. Now as long as we can, and it does not intefere with our busy wedding schedule, then a little bit of variety keeps us fresh and often gives us new ideas for our wedding photography.  We thought it would be interesting to show couples who may be browsing the website and on this blog some of the other types of images that we create.

London fashion wedding photographers

A lot of readers won’t know that David works with actors, directors and performers new and well known for headshots and profile images. Or that as Big Day Weddings we have done over twenty photo shoots for De Beers diamond merchants in the last three years, two jobs for Ralph Lauren, and have been product ambassadors for Motorola’s camera phone the Razr i. And no, we don’t use that particular device for any of our wedding shots!

Joanna also gets requests for wedding boudoir shoots. This usually takes the form of tasteful fine art images that become a surprise gift for a brides new husband after the wedding day or on honeymoon. If this potential scenario has crossed your mind feel free to have a relaxed chat with Joanna and she can send you some sample images to show what can be achieved. If you are one of our present or potential wedding couples to work with, and need some quality shots with a difference, then have a chat with David about headshot and profile images.
