    Wedding Photographer Parklands –  Sian and Liam’s Wedding at Parklands, Quendon Hall, was held on a beautifully warm day.  Sian with her Daughter Holly and the Bridesmaids were getting ready and all things were going well.  Meanwhile Liam was with his Best Men making their final preparations.Essex Wedding Photographer Once the men were ready a few pictures of them were taken outside.   Back to Sian for a few pictures of the girls together with Sian’s parents.  As always, weddings provide many emotional moments, but the moment when Sian’s Dad saw his daughter for the first time in her Wedding Dress was so extremely emotive for all of us!  With things back on track and time moving swiftly on, it was time for Sian to take her Dad’s arm and go down the stairs for the Civil Ceremony.  With all the Guests seated Sian made her entrance for the Ceremony. Following the Ceremony, Sian and Liam led their Guests outside to enjoy the Drinks Reception in the sunshine.Wedding Photographer Essex After a while we took the requested family group pictures but doing these in the minimum time as the temperature was rising! Later after the fun bridal pictures it was time for Sian and Liam’s ‘together’ pictures around the grounds.  After Sian and Liam had their Caricatures drawn by Josie Camus  and then being showered in confetti it was time for the Wedding Breakfast. Essex Wedding Photographer During the Wedding Breakfast  Sian, Liam and their Guests were treated to surprise performance from ‘The Singing Waiters” , which was then followed by the Speeches. Afterwards everybody enjoyed socialising inside Parklands or outside in the evening sunshine. After the arrival of Sian and Liam’s evening Guests it was time for their First Dance.  Before leaving we managed to escape for a few minutes with Sian and Liam to do a few evening pictures and end our coverage of their day.Essex Wedding Photographer

  • Wedding Photography Crabbs Barn for Katie & Stephen

    Wedding Photography Crabbs Barn – The weather was glorious for Katie and Stephen’s late afternoon Wedding photography at Crabbs Barn, Kelvedon. Stephen arrived at Crabbs Barn with his Best Man and Ushers and we were able to take a few pictures of them as well as getting some informal pictures of the Guests as they arrived. Katie arrived shortly afterwards together with the Bridesmaids and Flowergirls and we were able to take a few pictures of them all before the Ceremony. After seeing the Registrars, it was time for Katie to make her way into the Barn.  The couple and their guests enjoyed the Drinks Reception for a while before we got on with a few family group pictures.

  • Crabbs Barn wedding photography for Hannah & Craig

    Crabbs Barn Wedding Photography – It was a rather humid day to start with for Hannah and Craig’s Wedding but the almighty downpour before Hannah arrived at Crabbs Barn made way for cooler air and sunshine.  Hannah had her hair and make up done at home so just leaving a few final bridal preparations to do at Crabbs Barn. Hannah’s Wedding Dress and accessories were laid out in the Bridal Room and whilst these were being photographed, the girls were excitedly getting ready.  When Craig arrived at Crabbs Barn, he just needed to put on his cravat and jacket before he was ready with his Best Man and Usher for a few pictures in the grounds – Hannah being well out of sight! It wasn’t long before Hannah, her Mum and Dad,  Bridesmaids, Frankie, Julia and Catherine were all ready for their pictures.  They stepped outside as it was such a lovely day and we had time to take some nice images.  Paul from Crabbs Barn  arrived shortly afterwards to take them on the short walk to the front of the barn.

    After a little while it was time to get on with some family group pictures and fun bridal party shots.  With these over with swiftly, Hannah and Craig had a short break before it was time time to take Hannah and Craig for their together pictures around the grounds.

    Hannah and Craig were then showered in petals before the Wedding Breakfast commenced. The Speeches followed the Wedding Breakfast and we captured some great moments, especially with the Best Man’s Speech!  Afterwards everybody relaxed outside and the evening Guests started to arrive. This was the best time to escape for a few minutes with Hannah for a few extra pictures using the evening light.  After the cake cutting, it was time for Hannah and Craig’s First Dance.  What a fabulous First Dance!  Then to cap a memorable day for such a happy couple, a beautiful sunset!Essex Wedding Photographer
