We could not recommend Jennings Photography more! David and Emma are honestly some of the nicest people and went above and beyond all day to help make the day as smooth as possible (including Emma helping me back into my shoes before our first dance!) the photos we have back are absolutely stunning and have taken us back to the day reliving moments which they captured so perfectly! David and Emma have a way that allows you to feel so comfortable around them, we spent the day laughing and joking and just having a great time!

The video of our ceremony is shot beautifully! We absolutely love their style of photography and didn’t feel like we ‘missed’ any of the day posing for loads of photographs but have so many stunning pictures. We had sneak pics so quickly and within 5 weeks our entire gallery.
Genuinely could not recommend anymore, we knew from our first call that our pictures would be great, but are still blown away by just how great they are. Memories to treasure forever, thank you!

We had the most incredible wedding, and David and Emma captured it all perfectly. They were organised, easy to communicate with, and made the whole process feel smooth from start to finish. On the day, they arrived early and stayed late, quietly working in the background while somehow managing to be everywhere at once. Every request we had, big or small, they made happen without hesitation. Nothing was ever too much. And Emma? She was basically our fifth bridesmaid, always nearby, fluffing the dress, keeping things calm, and bringing great energy. True to their word, the photos landed right on the four-week mark, and they were worth every minute of the wait. We were blown away, not just by how beautiful they were, but by how well they told the story of the day. They caught moments we hadn’t even noticed happening. We’re so grateful to them.

David photographed our wedding last Saturday and we can’t recommend him enough! From the very moment he arrived, he blended into the group & began taking photos. He wasn’t in our faces or in the way at all, it all worked perfectly the whole day. We had booked him from getting ready all the way to the evening reception, which was excellent. From the first quote & booking all the way to the day, communication was brilliant. We’ve had a few sneak peaks through, just 2 days after our wedding and they’ve made us so excited to see the rest as they’re just beautiful & such good quality 😍

Thank you so much ❤️

We had the pleasure of Jennings Photography capturing our Wedding Day. David and Emma made the planning process very easy. Firstly, we were asked to send them ideas of what we wanted, then they put together their own timeline for the day. Jennings Photography specialises in candid (non-posed) shots, which is exactly what we wanted. At the editing stage, they kept us updated. They sent a link to a couple of sneak peek shots, which got us very excited! It didn’t take long at all for us to receive a link to the full gallery of 500 photos! We made it an occasion to look through all the photos with a glass of fizz on the TV. It was an emotional experience! David and Emma captured the day perfectly from start to finish. They were very discreet on the day. We hardly noticed the photos being taken, which really made those candid shots. We highly recommend Jennings Photography!

David & Emma went above & beyond before during and after our wedding day
I liked the idea of candid photographs and we were not disappointed. Great planning, ideas and information including a timetable before the day with an invite to make any changes, made for a relaxed friendly experience and access to David & Emma’s experience, knowledge and expertise was so appreciated. We cannot thank them enough !!

What a brilliant photographer David is. He recently captured our wedding and did a fantastic job. We were clear that we wanted candid photographs that didn’t disrupt the flow of the day and David delivered 10 fold! We recently received our gallery from him and as we scrolled through each photo we relived the memory and joy of the day with every image captured. We feel so lucky to have photographs that capture the essence, emotion and memory of the day so perfectly. If you are looking for a great photographer for your wedding, who is also a effective communicator, does what he says he is going to do and is a joy to work with David is perfect for the job.

All our standard packages include travel within Essex, meaning the price you see is the price you pay, with no hidden costs for getting to your venue.

Does your relaxed, documentary style work for Thaxted venues?

Definitely. Our documentary wedding photography style is all about capturing the atmosphere of the day, and Thaxted has some of the most stunning backdrops in the region.

Will you visit our venue in Thaxted before the wedding?

We pride ourselves on being fully prepared. If we haven’t photographed at your specific Thaxted wedding venue before, we will do our homework!

However, because we work so frequently as Essex wedding photographers, we are usually very familiar with how the light works in this area across different seasons.
