    Priory Hall Wedding Photography for Victoria and Sam

    It was lovely to be back for a Priory Hall Wedding Photography at this wonderful Wedding Venue in Hadleigh, Suffolk. This was for the Wedding of Victoria and Sam. Our day started at the home of Victoria’s Parents, where Victoria and her Bridesmaids were getting ready.  Arriving at the house all was relaxed although busy with all the preparations. After taking a few details and getting ready shots,  the Bridesmaids got dressed followed by Victoria who was  assisted by her sister and Mum. Rain was in the air so we didn’t venture outside so instead made use of the Conservatory and took some Bridal Portraits of Victoria, who looked amazing, in the Lounge.

    Priory Hall Wedding PhotographySt Mary’s Church, Woolpit, was where Victoria and Sam were to be married so when it was time we left for the short journey to the Church. Meeting up with Sam at the Church we took a couple of pictures of him and his Groomsmen in Church as it was now drizzling.  The brollies made the first appearance of the day when the Bridesmaids arrived with the Ushers doing a wonderful job in keeping them dry! As Victoria arrived, the drizzle had stopped, so taking her Father’s arm she followed the path and into the Church. During the service we kept a eye on the weather outside, although we had Plan B lined up if the weather did it’s worst! After the service instead of going outside when they came down the aisle, Victoria and Sam stayed in the Church, ready for Plan B! Having earmarked our spot for the family groups we got on with the requested pictures. Afterwards Victoria, Sam and their Guests made a quick dash to the cars for the journey to  Priory Hall.

    The skies were brightening as we drew nearer to Priory Hall but the rain was still falling, so Victoria and Sam had their Reception drinks and canapés inside. As the Guests were socialising we took a couple of pictures upstairs and as Victoria and Sam re-joined their Guests the rain stopped. Making sure Victoria and Sam had their share of the drinks and canapés and socialised we got on with some fun group pictures followed by the confetti.  Priory Hall Wedding PhotographerThis worked really well and a little while later it was time for the Wedding Breakfast,which was held in the Marquee. Victoria and Sam wanted  a couple of pictures in the maze and  it worked well  to take these in between their Starter and Main Meal. The Speeches provided some great reactions, caught of course! Once these were finished everybody made their way back into Priory Hall for the evening celebrations.Recommended Wedding Photographer Priory Hall A few evening pictures were taken later together with capturing images of the First Dance. A couple of night shots ended our coverage of Victoria and Sam’s Wedding Day. A wonderful day and a lovely couple!

    It had been a while since Emily and Gareth had booked their Wedding Photography with us and their Wedding was fast approaching! We managed to get together one evening and fill in the gaps about their wedding day, the usual who, what where, when, information!  Once the Wedding details were sorted we went to take a few pictures on a local footpath. Emily and Gareth are getting married at Gosfield Hall soon. The Engagement session helps our couples fell more comfortable when we come to take the important wedding pictures!

    Annette and Jason visited us one evening recently to go over the details of their forthcoming Wedding at Spains Hall. After a chat we went to our local River Walk to take a few pictures of them. We include the pre-wedding picture as a way to get to know our clients a little better before the big day and for them to feel more comfortable with us on the day.

    Wow! What a day for Kew Gardens Engagement Photos and a meeting! Brilliant weather and a lovely couple! This date had been saved in the Diary and we were all looking forward to it.  Kew Gardens was the perfect venue chosen by Collette and Tim. They have  booked our top wedding package, which includes an ‘on location’ shoot and this worked well with us, we needing a break, away from our busy schedule.  We were not disappointed! The best day of the weekend together with the best weather. We enjoyed our lunch, getting to know the happy couple better and are so looking forward to their Wedding at Orsett Hall.

    Gaynes Park Wedding Photography for Kira & Callum

    It was a cool but dry day for Kira and Callum’s Wedding at Gaynes Park. Kira and the girls were getting ready in the Apple Loft cottage when we arrived  and the preparations were in full swing.  Whilst these were going on we took a few pictures of Callum and his Groomsmen before they greeted the Guests.Gaynes Park Wedding Photographer A horse and carriage had been arranged for Kira so once all the girls were dressed and a few pictures taken, Kira accompanied by her Father went for a short ride before the Ceremony.  The Ceremony was held in the Gaynes Park Orangery and with all the Guests seated it was time for Kira, taking her Father’s arm to make the walk into the Ceremony. After the Ceremony after having some time to socialise with their Guests we took a few requested classic family photographs.  Despite Kira and Callum’s children, Brogan and Freya, being a little under the weather we managed to get a couple of pictures of the whole family.

Later we managed to take Kira and Callum for a few pictures of them, together.  Toasts and the cutting of the Wedding Cake followed a little later.

    Pre-Wedding Shoot for Dana and Jim

    What a lovely morning for a Pre-Wedding shoot for Dana and Jim!  It was early one morning recently when we met Dana, Jim and Molly for some pictures at Danbury Lakes. Making the most of the weather and not any people around we went for a walk.  After some nice pictures around we spent a little time with them talking about Dana and Jim’s Wedding at Layer Marney Tower, in a few months time.

  • Marquee Wedding Photography for Alice & Peter

    Marquee Wedding Photography for Alice & Peter

    We arrived at Alice’s family home on a bright morning with fingers crossed it would continue! After David saying ‘hello’ to everybody he left to go a short distance to Alice and Peter’s home to catch up with the guys and their final preparations. Meanwhile, I stayed with the girls where their preparations were going along nicely. Alice was having her hair and make-up done every step watched  by her Flowergirl, Eliza. Once the men were ready they went off to the Church whilst David returned to Alice and the girls.  The girls were in the final stages of getting dressed and once they were ready we got on with a few pictures.  It was dry and bright outside so we took a few pictures but kept it brief as the wind was getting to be a nuisance.

    Essex Wedding Photographer We then left to go to St Nicholas Church, Tolleshunt D’arcy  where Alice and Peter were to be married.  We had a little time to take a few pictures of Peter, his Best Man, Usher before the arrival of Alice.  Alice’s friend drove her to the Church in her Morris MG and then Alice’s two brothers escorted into the Church. Essex Church Wedding PhotographerAfter the service, Alice and Peter exited the Church, followed by their Guests and mingled in the sunshine for a short while. A few requested family pictures were taken at the Church before the Guests showered Alice and Peter in confetti.   The Guests waved them off in the Morris MG as they left to go to the farm for the Reception. When we arrived at the farm we took Alice and Peter for a very short while for their together pictures in the daffodils before many of the Guests arrived. Marquee Wedding Photography EssexOnce the Guests had finished arriving and had a few minutes for drinks we got on with some requested group pictures.  A big ‘thank you’ to Dave the Best Man for helping us organising these so quickly. With the weather looking like it was changing,  we wanted to capture as much as we could of Alice and Peter’s venue and knew we  were up against it! Alice and Peter were of the same mind.  We even managed to take a few more pictures of the two of them despite the spots of rain starting.  Then the rain came! We moved around the Marquee and captured some informal pictures before the Wedding Breakfast.  This was provided by the Event Catering Company from Colchester. After the meal and Speeches, it wasn’t long before the Band were ready for the dancing.  Alice and Peter cut their Wedding Cake and then a ‘surprise’! Alice’s Brothers rode into the Marquee on a Tandem which was a Wedding Present for Alice and Peter. Wedding Photographer EssexJust before leaving Alice and Peter braved the weather for a couple of night pictures with the lights outside. Thank you! A nice ending to a lovely day!

    Children’s Portraits – It was lovely to see Nina, Jon and Lukas again recently and meet Sebastian, the new addition to the family. Nina and Jon wanted some pictures of Sebastian and update their pictures of Lukas. When we arrived Sebastian was asleep so after catching up with all the news we got on with taking some pictures of Lukas. It wasn’t long before Sebastian woke up and whilst both boys were happy we captured some nice images of them together. Taking the opportunity we took a few family pictures as well.  A nice time with a lovely family!
