Jodie got in touch with us earlier in the year about taking a picture of her Mum’s horse Cobra who was 38 years old! It was to be a surprise present for her Mum! Arrangements were made when there was not a chance that Jodie’s Mum would appear at the stables. Job accomplished!
It was lovely to see Mae and her family again earlier this year. Mae wanted some up to date pictures of her family. It had been a few years since we last took some pictures of them all. A lot of changes! We had a nice time catching up and taking a variety of pictures.
Prested Hall Wedding Photography for Carol and Steve’s winter wedding. We went upstairs to meet Carol who was gettting ready. Preparations were going well. Stephen and his Groomsmen were getting ready in The Dingle, so David went over to see them. Final preparations were being carried and they were soon ready for some pictures to be taken.
Meanwhile the Girls were getting dressed upstairs in the Hall. Everyone was soon ready so we got on with taking some family pictures and some Bridal pictures of Carol.
The Wedding Guests were seated in The Oak Room. Carol, escorted by her Father, made her entrance into the room for the Civil Ceremony.
Once the Ceremony was finished everyone enjoyed the Drinks Reception for a little while. The family pictures didn’t take very long particularly as it was a touch cool.
Carol and Steve came for a very short while over to the bridge at Prested. There we took their pictures before we returned to their Guests. Confetti pictures finished the taking of pictures outside before capturing some pictures informal pictures inside Prested Hall amongst the Christmas decorations.
A beautiful sky marked the end of our pictures outside before Carol and Steve’s Wedding Breakfast. Just before we left them for the meal Carol and Steve pointed the knife at their Wedding Cake as we would not be there at the time the cake would be cut.
Carol and Steve’s Wedding Day was a lovely day with their children, Jamie and Lucy, a big part of their day. We always Prested Hall wedding photography!
It was a beautiful late Autumn Wedding Day for the Wedding Photography at Leez Priory of Lucy and Adam. Our day started at Lucy’s Parents’ home as that was where Lucy was getting ready. We took a few preparation pictures but as space was a little limited we decided to leave the arranged pictures until later.
The ceremony was at St Martins Church, Little Waltham and what a beautiful setting it was in. The sun was shining, the leaves from the trees had fallen and added to the wonderful colour. Adam was at the Church with his Groomsmen carrying out their duties when we arrived. A short interruption was all that was needed to create their pictures. They then resumed their duties greeting the Guests.
It was not long before it was time for the everyone to take their seats in the Church. The Bridesmaids arrived followed shortly afterwards by Lucy and and her Father. A lovely arrival in an old police car!
After the ceremony everyone went outside and we got on with the requested pictures. This was also our opportunity to quickly catch up with the pictures we had missed at Lucy’s parents house.
The Guests lined the path leading out of the Church and as Lucy and Adam walked down they threw confetti over them, before waving them off.
Arriving at Leez Priory Lucy, Adam and their Guests enjoyed the Reception Drinks. The Police car was very important at Lucy and Adam’s Wedding as Adam, his Father and Grandfather have been or are Policeman. The car made for some nice pictures. A few pictures of Lucy and Adam in front of Leez Priory were taken as well.
The picture of everybody happened a little later just before sunset. Lucy and Adam greeted their Guests in the Receiving Line before they sat down for the Wedding Breakfast in the Coach House. The Speeches followed, there were a few!
Leez Priory night photos alway look good, Lucy and Adam were happy to brave the evening chill for a few moments.
Later the happy couple cut their Wedding Cake and had their First Dance. Not long after that it was time for us to leave. A wonderful Day of Wedding Photography at Leez Priory! Thank you Lucy and Adam for asking us to be your Wedding Photographers.
Interiors by Paul Walden asked us to provide some product photography. They required images of their new range of environmentally friendly paints.
Kimberley and Ben asked us to carry out their Wedding Photography at Channels for their November Wedding .
Arriving at Channels we went to see Kimberley, her Mum, Bridesmaids and Flowergirls who were getting ready at Channels. They started their preparations in one of the rooms before transferring to a couple of other rooms across in Channels Lodge.
This was a good idea as there was definitely more space to get ready. Kimberley got ready in one room after we had photographed her Wedding Dress and Accessories. Meanwhile Ben was in the Essex Barn with his Best Man, Ushers, and his nephew, Ronnie, who was the Pageboy! Ronnie was dressed as a ‘Mini Ben”! He looked so smart! It was dry outside so all the guy’s pictures were taken outside the Barn. After that they all talked to the Guests as they were arriving.
Kimberley’s Mum, Debbie, helped Kimberley get ready. Once Kimberley was dressed the Bridesmaids joined her. Dad, Colin, came into the room a few minutes later. Very emotional moments especially as David and I know the family as well. After drying our eyes we got on with taking some Bridal pictures of Kimberley and some family pictures. We then went downstairs and waited for Kimberley. As a surprise a car was going to take her around to the Barn. This was extremely good as the weather had turned and the rain had started. Fortunately after seeing the Registrar, the rain had stopped and Kimberley made her way across the Courtyard and into the Barn.
Following the Ceremony as the weather was ok we all went outside for a few pictures. After the everybody picture, Kimberley and Ben were showered in confetti before we got on with a few requested family pictures.
The group pictures were mostly finished before the rain began to fall and then it became windy. During the Drinks Reception we found an area for the remaining pictures to be taken. Watching the weather there was a gap so we quickly took Kimberley and Ben for their pictures outside. We did take the umbrellas though! That was a good idea, before long the rain started again but we took some lovely pictures with the umbrellas and without!
We captured some informal pictures during the afternoon as well. Kimberley and Ben opted for wedding photography coverage up until the Wedding Breakfast. After a cake picture and pictures of them seated at the Wedding Breakfast we said our goodbyes having completed another day of wedding Photography at Channels. Kimberley and Ben, you are a lovely couple. We wish you all the best.
Hintlesham Hall Wedding Photography is always great and we were delighted that Jemma and Ben booked us for their autumn Wedding. It was a beautiful November day. We arrived quite early in the morning at Hintlesham Hall so we could take some images of the preparations going on.
Jemma and her sister, Olivia, were enjoying the time getting ready upstairs. With lots to photograph we got on with our job whilst Jemma and Olivia continued their preparations. Once the pictures of Jemma’s Dress and accessories were taken Olivia put her Bridesmaid Dress on and then assisted Jemma.
Meanwhile, Ben was downstairs in Hintlesham Hall with his Best Man and Ushers. After the Groomsmen had their pictures taken outside, they greeted the Guests as they arrived.
Jemma was almost ready when she was joined by her Mother and Father upstairs. Good timing! Jemma looked elegant in her dress, after a few Bridal pictures we got on with taking a few family pictures in the room. It was then time for Jemma to make her way to the Ceremony. On the way Jemma paused on the staircase for a few extra pictures.
With everybody seated for the Ceremony, the doors opened and Jemma holding her Father’s arm walked up the aisle. After the Ceremony, Reception Drinks were served inside and everyone socialised for a little while. As it was such a lovely afternoon we were able to take all the requested family group pictures outside.
We then took Jemma and Ben for a short walk around the grounds. Hintlesham Hall is a lovely setting and has many opportunities for pictures with wonderful backdrops. Autumn colours enhanced the setting and we were eager to take advantage of it. Jemma and Ben’s together pictures were lovely.
Returning to the Guests it was nearly time for the Receiving Line followed by the Wedding Breakfast and Speeches. Jemma and Ben then stepped outside for a sunset picture and a few evening pictures. Returning they then rejoined their Guests and welcomed their Evening Guests.
After the cake cut and First Dance Jemma & Ben had arranged a surprise Fireworks display for their guests.
A wonderful display! Time for us to leave as we were happy with day of Hintlesham Hall Wedding photography of Jemma and Ben’s lovely day. Thank you to Tori and Greg, whose Wedding we photographed at Prested Hall , for recommending us. It was nice to catch up with you and look forward to seeing you soon.
With today’s image aware lifestyles, Business Portraits are so important. This a very quick window light portrait of The Home Secretary Priti Patel taken in a break during a recent P.R. shoot. We are happy to create pictures in a wide range of locations and have portable studio lighting when required. Business Portraits are essential for company websites, social media etc. What message does a iphone selfie in poor lighting give as opposed to a professional Business Portrait?
David will be at Fennes Open Day – 11am-4pm. Sandra will be at Layer Marney Wedding Fayre 11am-4pm on Sunday We look forward to seeing you.
We meet so many nice people being a Fennes Wedding photographer Naomi and Paul being no different! Our day started with going to see Naomi first at Fennes to see how preparations were going. Everything was going well with Naomi in the final stages of hair and make up.
David went off to find Paul who was getting ready with his Best Man, Clifford. When they were ready they walked over to the House. It was a nice dry day with sunshine so Paul had a few pictures taken with his Best Man and with a few Guests outside.
Upstairs in Fennes House Naomi was getting dressed assisted by her sister. Naomi was soon ready for to have some family pictures and some pictures of her taken. Naomi looked lovely.
Paul and Naomi chose to have their Wedding Ceremony in the Pavilion so the Guests made their way into the Pavilion and took their seats.
Naomi’s Mother and Father had flown over from Japan for their daughter’s Wedding and it was a lovely moment when her Father greeted her at the bottom of the stairs.
Ready for the Ceremony, Naomi took her Father’s arm and made her way into the Pavilion.
After the Ceremony inside and outside of Fennes was used for the Drinks Reception and this made for some nice informal pictures.Paul and Naomi wanted some family pictures as well which we took during the afternoon. A walk around the grounds for their pictures ended with some nice pictures of the two of them.
After the confetti shots it was time for the Wedding Breakfast. The Speeches followed.
Before the evening celebrations we took the ‘heart’ shot and a couple of other pictures in Fennes. Naomi and Paul returned to their Guests.
Never quite knowing if there would be a sunset this evening we hoped we would get some colour in the sky! We were lucky but had to be extremely quick! It did work and we were all very pleased! 
After Naomi and Paul’s cutting of the cake and First Dance and happy with our coverage of their Wedding, it was time for us to leave. A lovely couple and a wonderful Wedding and another great day to be a Fennes Wedding Photographer!
