Wedding Photography Maidens Barn – We were pleased to be asked to photography Helen and William’s Autumn Wedding at Maidens Barn, Dunmow. Helen was getting ready in the superb Farmhouse and preparations were well underway when we arrived. After photographing these, it wasn’t long before William and his Groomsmen arrived. With the weather holding David went off to photograph them outside the Barn whilst I stayed in the Farmhouse. Shortly afterwards Helen, her Parents and Bridesmaids were all ready for a few pictures. The Farmhouse provided some nice spots for Helen’s portraits before it was time for the Civil Ceremony. With the Guests seated in the Barn, Helen entered with her Father accompanied by her Bridesmaids, Flowergirls and Pageboy. After the Ceremony, Helen and William led their Guests to the Drinks Reception and socialised for a little while. With the rain holding off and making use of the covered areas around Maidens Barn we took the requested family group pictures. A Magician entertained the Guests during the afternoon and after Helen and Guy had been shown some tricks, we took them for a quick walk around Maidens Barn for their pictures. Not having much time to spare as the rain was threatening we managed to achieve some nice images with the Autumn colours, just before the shower! Confetti pictures followed before the start of the Wedding Breakfast. Speeches were after the meal. When it was time for the Best Man’s Speech, it was delivered by Oliver, as he was the Best Man and assisted by Gemma, his wife, who happened to be Helen’s Matron of Honour! Being there to capture the emotions was wonderful, even though it was a touch difficult for us as we were crying with laughter and having a job to see through our cameras! A superbly funny speech! Evening Guests arrived a little while later and we took a few evening pictures before the cake cutting and First Dance. Our day ended with some night pictures of Helen and Guy outside. A lovely day!
