Danielle and Tom are getting married soon at The Fennes Estate, Bocking, so it was good to meet up with them again recently for a chat and for them to have a few pre-wedding pictures taken.

Pre-Wedding Pictures
We met Karen and Ian at Maison Talbooth, Dedham, not long before their Wedding there for an up-date on their final details. Karen and Ian booked us for their Wedding Photography a while ago, whilst they were over from Holland where they live and were now finalising their arrangements for their big day.

Wedding Photography for Nina & Steve – Kings Oak Hotel, High Beach, Epping
It was a very hot day when we arrived at the Premier Inn where Nina was getting ready for her Wedding. Fortunately, we found a shady area outside in the grounds for a few pictures once Nina, her Bridesmaids and Family were ready. Leaving them a short while later we met Steve at The Kings Oak Hotel, High Beach. With the beautiful Epping Forest all around us we had plenty of nice areas to take some pictures of Steve and his Best Men before the arrival of the Guests. Following the Civil Ceremony everybody enjoyed the Drinks Reception before we took a few requested family group pictures under the shade of the trees in the Forest.
Once the Guests returned to the Drinks Reception we kept Nina and Steve for a few portraits of them together before we returned and captured some informal pictures.
After the Wedding Breakfast and Speeches by Steve, the Best Men and Nina, there was time to enjoy the evening sunshine around the Hotel. Keeping a watchful eye on the evening sun as it was going down and trying to anticipate when we should let Nina and Steve know when the best time would be for their sunset pictures, was well worth it, as we achieved some lovely results.
Some First Dance pictures and some informal pictures of Nina and Steve’s evening Guests ended our day. -
Baby & Family Photographs
It was a pleasure to take some baby and family photographs of Claire, Tim and Noah recently. We photographed Claire and Tim’s Wedding at The Fennes Estate in 2011, and now we were delighted to meet Noah for the first time at 11 days old! Claire and Tim wanted some natural pictures of them with Noah as well as some of him on his own. Noah was so good, some lovely pictures and an enjoyable morning!

Wedding Photography for Eilidh & Ben – Butley Priory, Woodbridge
It was an early arrival for the start of our Wedding Photography for Eilidh & Ben’s Wedding. Eilidh was staying at the Country Lodges at Stoke by Nayland Golf Club, with members of her family who had come down from Scotland for the Wedding. It was our first visit to the Lodges and we must say we were very impressed, contemporary, spacious and light inside with balcolnies to compliment. With final bridal preparations taking place, it was all systems go with us taking a few detail shots and just having time for a few portraits of Eilidh, Bridesmaids and Parents, before we left to go to St. George’s Church, Great Bromley, for the Service. As the Flowergirls had arrived at the Church, we took a couple of pictures of them as well as capturing Ben with his ‘Beetle’!
With the beautiful colour scheme Eilidh and Ben had chosen, a glorious day, a Piper leading Eilidh and her Father from the Lych gate into the Church, lovely pictures! After a few family photographs, it was time for the confetti pictures and to make our way to Butley Priory, Woodbridge. The Priory looked a picture in the mid-afternoon sun especially decorated with bunting in the vintage theme the couple had chosen. Eilidh, Ben and the Bridal party arrived in Camper Vans which made for some fun shots.
Everybody enjoyed the cream tea and had a relaxing time socialising as David and I photographed the many accessories and details that Eilidh and Ben had made. Afterwards, we used the coolness of the Priory for a few pictures of Eilidh and Ben. Once the Wedding Breakfast had finished Eilidh and Ben wanted a couple of pictures in the Bridal Suite and in the early evening sun around the grounds before the evening Reception, which was held in the Marquee.
With Eilidh and Ben’s first dance completed and a few informal pictures of the evening guests we squeezed in a concluding evening picture of the happy couple before departing. -
