Pre-Wedding Photo for Deborah and Gbenga

Pre-Wedding Photo for Deborah and Gbenga

It was a lovely morning when we met Deborah and Gbenga at Deborah’s family farm recently for their Pre-Wedding Photo, to finalise their wedding plans and to check out the locations. After chatting about timings and other details of their Wedding we went for a walk around the farm to check locations for the wedding and used some nice areas in the daffodils for a few Pre-Wedding Photo’s of them. We are looking forward to their Wedding at St Nicholas Church, Castle Hedingham, Essex, in a few months time.

Vaulty Manor Wedding Photography for Joanne & Barry

Vaulty Manor Wedding Photography for Joanne & Barry

Our Vaulty Manor Wedding Photography for Joanne and Barry started in the morning at Joanne and Barry’s home. Jo was getting ready there with her Bridesmaids. All preparations were running smoothly and after taking pictures of Joanne’s dress and accessories, the girls got dressed. Joanne’s Mother and Father arrived with Mum then assisting Joanne with the final preparations.

After a few family and girls’ pictures we left them to go to Vaulty Manor. The men were all there so we got on with taking a few pictures of them outside. When it was time, everyone made their way inside for the Civil Ceremony. Joanne arrived soon after and once she had seen the Registrars took her Father’s arm and with the Bridesmaids leading the way, followed them into Vaulty Manor. It was nice to see Susie (Registrar) again, we photographed her Wedding at Stock Brook Manor in 2006 and have also taken family pictures since. After the Ceremony, the Guests went outside with hands full of confetti and waited for Joanne and Barry to appear. This they did, so after being covered in confetti we got on with taking the requested group pictures. Some fun Bridal pictures followed before Joanne and Barry had a few minutes to talk to their Guests. The forecast was not good, so we had to keep things moving and we were aware we needed to take Joanne and Barry for their pictures. Making sure we had brollies to hand, we went off around the grounds, achieving some nice pictures in the daffodils. Finishing their pictures, the rain started to fall, and by the time Joanne and Barry were walking back to Vaulty Manor, that signalled the end of outside pictures for the day! The Greeting Line preceded the Wedding Breakfast with the Speeches following. The Best Man’s Speech was superb, very amusing and we captured some great reactions. During the evening we took a few pictures of Joanne and Barry upstairs in between the arrival of their evening Guests. Before the First Dance Joanne and Barry cut their Wedding Cake, then the Guests joined them on the dance floor. Not long afterwards, it was time for us to say goodbye. A lovely day!

James and Sarah got in touch with us recently about updating their family pictures. We can’t believe it was their Wedding in 2010 which we photographed at Barnsdale Hall, Rutland. Finding a time when all family members can get together is always hard but worthwhile in the end.

Photo shoot before Wedding – Tracey & Ben

Photo shoot before Wedding – Tracey & Ben

David and I prefer to get to know our couples a little bit better before their Wedding Day so we enjoy meeting them at a convenient time and place. We met up with Tracy and Ben one afternoon a few weeks ago at Hadleigh Country Park. Deciding to go for a walk and take some pictures, first of all, was a good call, it was dry and bright and not too windy. By the time we had finished we were windswept, so it was nice to stop for a hot drink and a chat! Tracy and Ben are getting married in the summer at The Lawn, Rochford.

Not long before Joanne and Barry’s Wedding we met up with them for their pre-wedding session. As we were at Joanne’s Parents house, not wanting to be left out, their dogs joined us for a few pictures! Later whilst talking about their Wedding we found out that Barry went to primary school with our son, we thought he looked familiar! Joanne and Barry are getting married at Vaulty Manor, Heybridge.

Wedding Photographs Gosfield Hall for Gill & Chris

Wedding Photographs Gosfield Hall for Gill & Chris

Gill and Chris chose the stunning Gosfield Hall for their Wedding and we were delighted to be asked to photograph their big day. Bridal preparations were taking place upstairs at Gosfield Hall when we arrived. Everything was running smoothly and Gill, her Mother, Val, Father, Cliff, and Sister, Nicola were all very relaxed. Meanwhile Chris was getting ready with this Best Man, Richard, and his Ushers, Steve, Mike and Graham. With preparations and details completed and ready, Chris then spent a little time greeting some of the Guests in between having some pictures taken.

Whilst this was going on Gill was getting dressed in the Rococco Suite assisted by her Mum and Sister. Everybody looked lovely! The Rococco Suite is a lovely room for Bridal portraits etc, and as time was on our side we got on with these taking full advantage of the setting. After seeing the Registrars, Gill took her Father’s arm and made her way to the Queen’s Gallery for the Civil Ceremony. Following the Ceremony, Gill, Chris and their Guests went into the Salon for the Drinks Reception. It was raining at this time but the forecast was for it was to stop, so Gill and Chris enjoyed some social time with their Guests including being entertained by a Wedding Singer. This gave us ample opportunity for some informal pictures. Starting off inside at Gosfield Hall we got on with the few requested family pictures that Gil and Chris wanted before going off with them for a short while for their pictures. The rain had stopped earlier so after a few pictures of them inside Gosfield Hall we went outside. Returning to their Guests, Gill and Chris had a little time before the Receiving Line. The Wedding Breakfast followed and then it was time for the Speeches. Speeches took a different spin today! Questions and Answers! It worked well! In between the end of the Wedding Breakfast and the evening celebrations we took a few more pictures of Gill and Chris together with some special requested pictures. The First Dance followed the cake cutting and after capturing a flavour of the rest of the evening celebrations it was time for us to leave. Such a relaxed, enjoyable and rewarding day!
