    Sue & Mark’s Pre-Wedding Pictures

    Just before the Wedding of Sue and Mark at Prested Hall, Feering, we managed to get together with them to talk about their plans and special requirements for their Wedding Day. We also took some pre-wedding pictures so they could experience working with us ahead of the big day!

    Fennes Wedding Photography -Jenna & James

    The popular Fennes was the chosen Wedding Venue for Jenna and James’ Wedding. On arrival at Fennes  the sound of fun and laughter greeted us!  Preparations were going well and everybody was having a nice time getting ready.  The girls were in the Bridal Suite whilst the guys were keeping out of the way getting ready in one of the bedrooms.  Jenna was so relaxed, giving a helping hand to everybody, sorting herself out in between!  Once James, his Best Man and Ushers were ready they went downstairs for some pictures.  Unfortunately, it was raining but they were able to stand on the steps outside in the dry, whilst David got wet! The men stayed downstairs then and greeted the Guests as they arrived.  When Jenna, looking wonderful, and the girls were ready we took a few portrait pictures of them all, then took Jenna onto the landing for a couple of Bridal shots.

    Fennes Recommended Wedding Photographer  The Guests made their way into the Pavilion for the Ceremony and after seeing the Registrars, Jenna took her Father’s arm and they made their way to the Pavilion.  After the ceremony Jenna and James led their Guests back through the house to the front where the Drinks Reception.We were prepared for doing the photography in the Gold Room as there wasn’t any prospect of the weather improving. With lots of Guests, Videographers and ourselves, it was busy, but we were really pleased with how smoothly this went.Fennes Wedding Photographer A huge ‘thank you’ goes to the Guests for their co-operation. Later on as we were still unable to venture outside other than on the steps, we took a couple of pictures in the Library before the confetti pictures in the Gold Room.Fennes Wedding Photography Soon it was time for the Wedding Breakfast.  The Speeches followed and as a surprise, Molllie, one of their Bridesmaids sung a song for Jenna and James. Another surprise followed!  A break in the weather!  We couldn’t believe it, nor could anybody else! Without further ado, we were on our way outside for some bridge pictures.  Not pushing our luck we took some pictures in the minimum of time on the bridge, using the gazebo as well.  We persuaded all the guests to come outside so that Jenna & James could have a big group picture.  As they returned to the Pavilion we took a few pictures of Jenna and James in the house before the start of the evening reception. The cutting of the Wedding Cake was followed by the throwing of the bouquet.  Jenna and James took to the floor for their First Dance.  The happy couple planned for some sparkler pictures which we did just with the two of them before it rained too hard, again!  These pictures ended our coverage of Jenna and James’ Wedding. Fennes Recommended Wedding Photographer Thank you Jenna and James for smiling constantly throughout your day, you are a lovely couple,  some wonderful pictures we hope you are pleased with. For us another great day of Fennes Wedding Photography!

    Wedding Photography Fennes – Stephen & Richard

    It was a lovely day for the Wedding of Stephen and Richard at Fennes. When we arrived at The Fennes Estate on the morning of the Wedding Stephen was getting ready in the cottage and Richard was getting ready  upstairs in the House.  Stephen and Richard chose to have one best man each and one best woman each to help them with all the preparations and what a good job they did! Once ready they had a few pictures taken of themselves together with their friends, before it was time for seeing the Registrars in the Library.

    Fennes Recommended Wedding Photographer Richard and Stephen chose to meet in the Library before going to the Ceremony in the Pavilion. When it was time the Best Men and Best Women led the way, followed by Stephen and his Mother Linda and Richard with his Mother, Mary. Wedding Photography Fennes After the Ceremony, the Guests enjoyed the Drinks Reception outside, whilst Richard and Stephen had a few moments together.  They soon made their way outside, cheered by their Guests and joined them for Drinks. Richard and Stephen enjoyed relaxing and socialising for a little while whilst we were on hand to capture the moments.  During the afternoon we took some requested groups and relaxed fun pictures. There was time later for a short walk around the wonderful grounds of Fennes for Stephen and Richard’s together pictures. After the confetti pictures it was time for the Weddding Breakfast.  Following the meal the Speeches began.  Rukan, Richard’s Best Woman, started off the Speeches and introduced those following. Naomi, Stephen’s Best Woman completed the round of Speeches in her great theatrical style! Brilliant reactions!
