  • Langtons Hall Wedding Photography for Sarah-Jayne & Thomas

    Langtons Hall Wedding Photography at a popular Venue for Sarah-Jane and Thomas. What a nice place it is too! An early Summer Wedding on a warm day.

    The guys were first to arrive at Langtons so the first to be photographed.Not a lot of space to work in but fine for a couple of pictures.

    Guests were arriving and mingled in the Courtyard. Once it was time, everyone went inside to the Ceremony room.

    Sarah-Jayne arrived with her Mum and after a couple of pictures joined her Bridesmaids inside but outside the Ceremony room. A little while later the doors open and they went inside the Hall.

    Once the Ceremony was over, Sarah-Jayne and Thomas walked down the aisle and through the doors to the gardens.

    They greeted their Guests and socialised for a little time. We got on with organising the requested family pictures. Onces these were taken all the Guests went to the front of the building so we could get some bubbles and confetti pictures.

    After this happened the Guests left to make their way to the Reception.

    Sarah-Jayne and Tom returned to the gardens and bridge for their pictures which worked very well. We had a nice time talking and laughing with them whilst creating some nice pictures around the grounds.

  • Wedding Photography for Julie & Mike at Felixstowe Town Hall

    We were pleased to be asked by Julie and Mike to take a few pictures of their low key Wedding at Felixstowe Town Hall. Julie and Mike just wanted a selection of pictures to record their Ceremony and the time afterwards spent with their families and a few friends.

    Mike was greeting a few of the Guests at the venue when we arrived, so after taking a couple of pictures of him, it wasn’t long before Julie arrived with her son . After a couple of pictures of them, they made their way upto the Ceremony Room.

    After Julie and Mike had made their vows, exchanged rings they exited the room to a side room for a reception.

    After a short while we took Julie, Mike and their Guests outside for a group picture and a few requested pictures they wanted.

    On a less cold and windy afternoon we would all have stayed outside for a little longer. Julie and Mike after having a little warm up inside then came back outside for a few pictures of them a little later.

    Capturing some informal pictures of the Guests and the Speeches during the afternoon followed, until it was time for confetti on the steps and leaving.

    A lovely small Wedding Julie and Mike. Congratulations!

    Mel and Dan’s Smeetham Hall Barn Wedding was on an overcast February day although it was a reasonable temperature.

    Mel wanted a relaxed feeling and of course that is what we provided! The day started with a few pictures of Mel and her Bridesmaids in the prep room. Dan soon arrived and we promptly got his pictures completed with his Groomsmen.

    The ceremony took place in the barn followed by a drinks reception in the marquee. A few quick requested family groups left plenty of time for the happy couple to mingle with their guests.

  • Parklands Wedding Photography for Laura & Glen

    Parklands Wedding Venue was the setting for Laura and Glen’s Spring Wedding. It was a dry day, slightly cool with the outlook becoming better as the day went on.

    Going off to find Laura was the first thing we did when we arrived at Parklands. Preparations were well underway . Once Glen was ready, a couple of pictures of him were taken, not forgetting some with his ‘best woman’, his sister, Cassie and Usher, Josh. Getting ready pictures had been taken of the girls , the next step ‘ready’ pictures. Moving to the red room for Laura’s pictures gave us more room for this to happen.

    The Ceremony took place in The Tabor Room which overlooks the gardens and deer park. After the Ceremony everyone went outside. We didn’t spend too long taking the pictures in the gardens, it was a bit cool. After taking the required pictures we spent our time capturing moments of the Guests socialising. A quick five minute session for pictures of Laura and Glen before the time of the Wedding Breakfast worked well.

    After the meal and capturing pictures of the Speeches, Ruben, Laura and Glen’s son were having fun so we were took some nice pictures of the three of them.

    We then had a lovely time with Laura and Glen around Parklands. The sun was out and Laura and Glen wanted to make good use of Parklands for their pictures, inside and outside. Fine by us!

    Later after the cake cutting Laura and Glen had their First Dance and were then joined by their Guests on the dance floor.

    To finish our day off the sunset was superb and not to be missed! Thank you Laura and Glen for a lovely day.
