Before going to Layer Marney Tower we first attended Crown Plaza Five Lakes Resort, Colchester, where Toni, her Parents and Bridesmaids were getting ready. With detail shots taken, Toni wanted to have some pictures taken with all of them outside in the garden. This didn’t take too long as it was rather warm and time was going quickly, as always. Leaving them, we travelled to Layer Marney Tower, Layer-de-la-Haye. With Venue pictures and other details photographed, there was time for some pictures of Russell and his Groomsmen around the grounds of Layer Marney Tower. They all then headed up to the Corsellis Room for the Civil Ceremony. Toni arrived soon after and with all Guests seated she made her way into the room. Graham, Layer Marney’s Chauffeur, was waiting for them outside after the Ceremony to take them for a short drive in the vintage Rolls Royce. Meanwhile their Guests enjoyed the Drinks Reception in the grounds, with us taking some candid shots of them. Toni and Russell Returned to Layer Marney Tower and walked up the path to meet their Guests. In between socialising with their Guests some family pictures were taken. Toni and Russell wanted to have some more pictures taken of them together all around Layer Marney Tower, fine by us! Speeches were before the Wedding Breakfast and we took couple pictures of families and couples as requested by Toni and Russell before the meal was served. The sunset provided Toni and Russell a lovely picture before the First Dance. While were photographing the sunset Toni asked if we could do a video clip of the first dance, something we have never done before for a wedding! What a dance it was! Fabulous! So worth the effort with the video filming! A night picture completed our coverage of a lovely day. See also our Featured Wedding
