Great Hallingbury Manor Wedding Photography for Michelle & Chris
Great Hallingbury Manor Wedding Photography for Michelle & Chris – Michelle and Chris chose the contemporary Great Hallingbury Manor, Bishops Stortford, for their Wedding. Our first port of call when we arrived was where the girls were getting ready in The Bridal Suite. Excitement, laughter, fun, was evident when we saw them with all preparations going well.
I stayed with the girls whilst David went off to find the guys, as they arrived. Chris had a few pictures taken with his Watch in front of their Fire Engine, and then some with his Best Men and Ushers. Leaving them to carry out their duties, David then returned to the girls. 
Michelle and her Bridesmaids were applying the final touches to their preparations and it wasn’t long before we could take a few formal pictures and a couple of bridal portraits of Michelle. With the Guests seated for the Civil Ceremony, it was soon time for Michelle to make the short walk to the Ceremony room, which overlooked the lake. 
The members of Chris’ Watch provided a Guard of Honour as Michelle and Chris went outside into the sunshine. As their Guests followed them, Michelle and Chris then had a few minutes to spend with them before they were showered in confetti. Some family pictures followed and as time was short we went straight into some fun pictures.
Some great natural moments! Giving Michelle and Chris a short breather before a few of their together pictures was the right call as just before the ‘everybody’ shot, and the Wedding Breakfast we took some nice pictures of the two of them. After the Wedding Breakfast, the Speeches began. An unexpected heavy downpour occurred fortunately whilst the Speeches were going on and luckily by the time they finished so had the rain. 
With the ground drier, we took Michelle and Chris over to the lake for a few pictures. As their Evening Guests arrived, and enjoyed the warm evening air, as the sun went down, Michelle and Chris ended up with some nice evening pictures. 
Their First Dance was a surprise to the Guests except the Bridal Party. Michelle and Chris started off by themselves for a very very short amount of time then were joined by the Bridal Party for an incredible routine. Well done to all of them! After taking a few pictures of their Evening Guests, it was time for us to go. A long but such a rewarding day! -
Wedding Photography The Lawn, Rochford for Vicky and Lee
Wedding Photography The Lawn – Vicky and Lee chose the The Lawn, Rochford, Essex which was a lovely venue for their summer Wedding. On our arrival we made our way upstairs to the Brides Room where there was much excitement. Whilst the girls were getting ready, Lee, the Best Man and the Ushers had arrived, so it was off downstairs to meet them and take a few pictures of them all.
With the girls ready we took their photographs before Vicky’s dad entered the room. Some lovely joyous moments were captured, followed by some more as Amelia, the Flowergirl and George the Pageboy saw Vicky.
After a few photos of Vicky it was time for her to see the Registrars. Vicky then took her father’s arm and went down the stairs to the Ceremony.
Afterwards the happy couple led their Guests outside for the Drinks Reception. The weather was on our side, dry, but overcast, so we were able to get on with the requested group pictures outside. After making sure Vicky and Lee had some time to relax and enjoy some of the afternoon with their Guests, we took a few fun shots of the Bridal Party. This was followed by taking Vicky and Lee for a short walk in the grounds for their together shots with the sun making an appearance.
The Wedding Breakfast took place in The Orangery and was followed by coverage of the Speeches. Finding a little time before the arrival of their evening Guests, we took Vicky and Lee for a few more pictures around The Lawn. Whilst the superb Band www.thelowdownband.com were finishing setting up we took some informal pictures of couples and evening Guests. Soon it was time for Vicky and Lee to cut their Wedding Cake and take to the floor for their First Dance. A little while later it was time for us to say goodbye after a lovely day. It was nice to see Lee’s Parents, Lanna and Dave together with Lee’s brother, Glenn and his wife Kate, whose Wedding we photographed in at Newland Hall, Chelmsford, in 2009. Great also to see many familiar faces too numerous to list! -

St Albans Cathedral Wedding Photography for Sophie & Steven
St Albans Cathedral Wedding – A privilege and delight to photograph a Wedding at this beautiful and stunning Venue. We were very pleased to be asked to photograph Sophie and Steven’s Wedding at St. Albans Cathedral. Sophie and Steven were able to get married in St Albans Cathedral as they both went to University in the city. Our day started at St. Michael’s, Manor Hotel in St Albans, where Sophie, her family and Bridesmaids were getting ready. With lots going on there was much to photograph.
Once the Bridesmaids were ready we took a few pictures in the garden. A breeze got up just as we were about to take some pictures of Sophie so we had to quickly find sheltered spot, not quite what we planned but we have to live with these things! Leaving them we then went to the Cathedral where Steven was greeting some of the Guests as we arrived so in between we took Steven and his Groomsmen for their pictures. It wasn’t long before the Bridesmaids arrived and waited with the Dean in the North Churchyard for the arrival of Sophie. With the Guests seated Sophie took her Father’s arm and made her entrance through the Pilgrim Door into the Cathedral and into the Lady Chapel. A beautiful service followed allowing us to capture some lovely moments. Sophie and Steven then led their Guests from the Lady Chapel to the West doors. 
Outside, they then had a few minutes greeting their Guests before we took an everybody picture, followed by some requested family Groups. Sophie and Steven were showered in rose petals before the guests left for the reception while the happy couple had a few pictures themselves in the Cathedral and around the grounds with David. Meanwhile the Guests and I made their way to pick up the Routemaster bus to the Wedding Reception at Shenley Cricket Club, Radlett. On arrival at Shenley Cricket Club the Guests enjoyed the Drinks Reception and it wasn’t long before Sophie and Steven arrived. Grace, Sophie’s sister then entertained everybody with her wonderful singing, providing some emotional moments, captured of course! After catching up on a few small group shots it was soon time for the Wedding Breakfast held in the Marquee. Coverage of the Speeches followed before a break before the evening celebrations. This allowed us to take Sophie and Steven for a few moments for a some of them in the soft evening light.
During the evening we took some informal pictures of their evening Guests as well as speaking to familiar faces that earlier in the day we didn’t have time to speak to. Sophie and Steven cut their Wedding Cake just before the First Dance and with a sunset completed we were happy with our work for the day, it was time for us to say goodbye. A wonderful day!
