Lyndsey & Steven 29th August 2010 @ Crondon Park.

Hi All,
Another great wedding that i filmed only. It was great to picking up the video camera again rather than giving it to Rob to use. I love capturing the day through video format and despite the rain the day was fantastic. I love the artist drawings later on that is always worth recording. Great video messages too. Thanks Lyndsey and Steven for booking me to record your special day. Please leave comments to help Lyndsey win the Bride of The Month competition.

Lorraine & Spencer 21st August 2010 at St Mary's Church Theydon Bois & Theydon Bois Village Hall

Hi,
Thank you for letting us record your special day for you it was fantastic. The firemen looked very smart. It was a shame we encountered another dreaded vicar who refused to allow any photographs or video footage in the Church except from the very back. I cant understand how they benefit from this but we had plenty of zoom lenses with us so we still managed to capture everything. Both myself and Rob had a great day and the atmosphere was fantastic. i hope this shows in the images. Please leave a comment to help Lorraine win the Bride of The Month competition. To access the web gallery the password will be the bride and grooms new married name (Grooms Surname). This will be available to view once the happy couple have seen them first, so keep checking.

Samantha & Stuart 14th August 2010 at St Mays Church Great Baddow & 3 Rivers Golf Club

Hi all,
Another fantastic wedding that had everything, a fantastic couple, church and reception venue. Once again both myself and Rob enjoyed capturing your special day and although rain threatened to descend on us all eventually it turned out great. Great wedding present Sam I'm sure the photos and video will show the surprise look from Stuart. Below are a few images from the day. Please leave your comments to help Sam win the bride of the month competition. To access the web gallery the password will be the bride and grooms new married name (Grooms Surname). This will be available to view once the happy couple have seen them first, so keep checking.

Claire & Martin 7th August 2010 at High Easter Church & Channels Golf Club

Hi all,

Well what can I say this was another great wedding for myself and Rob to be asked to cover. The church was excellent and would have given me the opportunity to capture some excellent photographs however this was made impossible because the vicar decided to prevent anybody taking images during the ceremony. This is a great shame and shooting from the back of the church without flash would have not caused any interference with the ceremony itself. Its strange how all vicars have a different take on this, most allow photography throughout provided this is not intrusive. My style of work would fit this category. Others say only photograph from the back which to be honest is where I would take the majority from anyway. I have never been told NO photographs at all so this was quite a strange feeling having to watch great photograph opportunities pass by. I do hope I never have to operate under these restrictions again but you never know. I cant quite see what the vicar gained from these restrictions. Anyway moving onto the reception and aside from the rainy part everything went to plan. Great photo of the bride and groom on the slide show part of the speech from the best man. All in all a fantastic day, I have attached my favorite images. Please leave comments and help win Claire the bride of the month competition. Please see the website for more details.

Sarah & Chris 31st july 2010 at St Josephs Church & Bushey Country Club

Hi All,

Having photographed Emma & Adam's wedding (Sarah's sister and brother in law) earlier in the year it was good to see you all again. Fantastic day from start to finish, when we were out in the meadow area it was a bit like photographing a wedding in California with the long table serving Pims in the middle. The weather held out for us and we managed to get some great creative flash light photographs on the dance floor late on. Both myself and Rob had a great day its just a shame all the Brady sisters are now married.Please leave your comments to help Sarah win the bride of the month competition.

Roxanne & Greg 24th july 2010 at St mary's Church Bocking & Baddow Park

Hi All
Another big wedding with around 300 guests and a fantastic helicopter flight. This was a great wedding to come back to after my holiday. St Mary's Church Bocking is one of my favorite churches to photograph in as there is tremendous directional window light helping to create that perfect atmosphere to the photographs. Again Rob was with me to video the day. Another great atmosphere was created by all the ladys outside the church on the arrival of Roxanne. Most of Bocking would have known there was a big wedding taking place. Great day al round. I have selcted some of my favorite images and posted above.

A few weeks break

Hi all,

I will be on holiday for a few weeks early July so there will be a break in weddings for about 4 weeks.

Linda & Trevor 24th june 2010 at Gosfield Hall

Hi all,

Another full on wedding with lots of fun, atmosphere and emotion. Again this was another photography and video wedding both myself and my video specialist Rob covered. Again we stayed for the full day and some of the evening. Thanks for booking us Linda and Trevor it is always most enjoyable covering a wedding from a different culture. The ceremony was fantastic and the evening dancing once you were both changed was certainly different and fun. With so many different images to choose from i have selected three of my favorite images above. Please leave comments.

Copy of email:
" Hi Paul,

Allyson & Paul 6th june 2010 at St Edward Church Romford & Corinthian Resturant

Hi All,

This was another photography and video job that both myself and Rob covered. We started in Romford and then traveled to Ilford for the reception. A fantastic wedding with a Greek reception (Paul is Greek) great atmosphere and both myself and Rob enjoyed the day. Thanks Paul for inviting us to join in with the dinner the food was great. I really hope you enjoy the photographs and video once complete. Above are my two favorite photos. Please leave comments.

Faye & Sid 5th June 2010 at St Michaels Church Braintree & Channels golf club

Hi all
Both myself and Rob covered this day for both photography and video. We were booked for 12 hours coverage so we didn't miss a thing. Great day, great venues and again very hot weather. Although we did have a thunder storm during dinner. Lots of great photos including the golf buggy ones and of course the group dancing. Not quite sure what that was about but im sure the video will be great. Thanks Faye and Sid for using our services at your wedding it was a great day. Above are my two favorite images. Please leave comments.

Copy from email:
"Sid and I have finally had a chance to check the photos online, they are lovely.

We wanted to pass on our huge thanks to both you and Rob for your help on the day. You were fantastic and we have had feedback from so many people saying how great you were and how relaxed everyone felt working with you. We also thought it was great that you let others have a go with taking photos – I’m sure you spotted that both of my brothers have a keen interest in photography! And they were grateful of you letting them get in there too.

Both Sid and I are so happy we decided to go with you for our photographer as we really felt relaxed on the day and that is the main thing.
I will be in touch soon.


Many thanks,

Faye."

Melissa & Robert 4th june 2010

Hi all
This wedding was held at The Park Inn in Thurrock. I was asked to film but Rob (my video specialist) came along with me as we were covering 4 weddings in 4 days together so it was easier for him to come along. Another scorching day full of fun and atmosphere. Rob actually filmed some parts of the day and some detail shots with the second camera for me. Thanks Rob. Another great day and the best mans speech was excellent, it will make excellent video footage Im sure.

Hannah & Nick 3rd July 2010All Saints Church & Braxted Park

Hi All,

Wow what a fantastic day. From a photographic and video point of view this wedding had everything with a fantastic venue, great lighting (a perfect English summers day) and a great couple. Thanks Hannah and Nick for asking us to cover your special day both myself and Rob had a great time. I hope you love the photographs and video. I have posted my two favorite photos above. Please feel free to leave comments.

Copy from email:
"Hi Paul! We are having SO much fun looking through pics. They are incredible. We are only half way through but we are thinking there will probably be more than 80 we really like!

Also, if we wanted to order an extra mini-parent album, how much is this?

Thanks Paul - you have done us proud!

Mr and Mrs Dunn."

Paul Hubbard Photographic Blog

Hi all,

This is the first message on my photography and video blog. I will be leaving comments relating to wedding photography and wedding video along with photos, possibly video clips and testimonials from real weddings. This blog will allow future brides and grooms to see a glimpse into what we do. I will also be running competitions and promotions through this blog. So keep checking. Current and past couples will be able to view my favorite photograph from their special day, and leave comments and feedback via my website contacts page that will be posted on this blog. I will begin by going back in time to the beginning of June 2010 and what i call the hectic summer season. The first wedding for this period was on the 3rd of June 2010. Sorry to all the weddings prior to this date but the blog has to start somewhere.

I hope you all enjoy this blog, please feel free to leave feedback and comments.
