Spring at last! The sun was out when we arrived at the Hotel Felix, Cambridge, for the Wedding of Ruth and Daniel’s outdoor Civil Ceremony. Daniel had arrived with his Groomsmen and had a few pictures taken while Ruth was getting ready in one of the rooms with her three Bridesmaids . Capturing some of the action and after taking a few pictures of Ruth when she was ready, it was time for Ruth to make her way to the outside for the Ceremony.
The setting in the gardens was wonderful for the Ceremony and the Drinks Reception during which Ruth and Daniel mingled with their Guests in the warm sunshine. Some family group photographs were taken and whilst the Guests were socialising, we took Ruth and Dan around the front of the Hotel for some of their pictures. We had fun and we were delighted to hear the words from our Groom, Dan, ‘I’m enjoying this’ as was Ruth.
The Wedding Breakfast was held in the beautifully decorated Marquee and followed by the Speeches. After the arrival of their evening Guests we captured a few pictures of Ruth and Dan as the sun was going down before ending our coverage of their wonderful Wedding with pictures of the First Dance.

Wedding Photography for Carly & Gary – Crabbs Barn, Kelvedon
It was a pleasure to be asked to photograph Carly and Gary’s Wedding at Crabbs Barn, Kelvedon, Essex. Our day started at Carly’s parents’ home where there was lots going on but everything was going to plan. Once all preparations were complete, we had plenty of time to take pictures inside the house as well as in the garden, before we left to go to Crabbs Barn.
Arriving at Crabbs Barn, Gary, his Best Man and Usher were there and we had enough time to take some photographs of them before the Bridesmaids and Carly arrived. Following the Civil Ceremony Carly and Gary had a couple of pictures taken with the car before leaving for a short car ride. Once they returned and socialised with their Guests for a little while, we took a few requested family groups and then some relaxed pictures of the bridal party before we took Carly and Gary for a short stroll around the grounds for their pictures. 
After the Wedding Breakfast and Speeches and whilst the guests enjoyed their coffee, Carly and Gary had their caricatures drawn by the brilliant Caricature Artist Steve Hearn who we have met at numerous events. With the Guests then having their caricatures drawn, we took the opportunity of taking Carly and Gary for another walk around Crabbs Barn as the light was so good.
Evening Guests arrived before the happy couple took to the dance floor for their First Dance. Later on, Carly, Gary and their Wedding Guests were entertained by a surprise firework display. -
Wedding Photography for Victoria & Alex – Leez Priory, Chelmsford
Victoria and Alex chose the wonderful Leez Priory for their Spring Wedding. It was a bright dry day when we arrived at Leez Priory to capture the final bridal preparations of Vicky and her Bridesmaids. Everything was running smoothly, Alex and his Groomsmen had their pictures taken outside before the arrival of the Wedding Guests and then it was time for some pictures of Vicky. Once these were taken it was time for her to see the Registrars and then the Wedding Ceremony. This was held in the Great Tower and after the Ceremony Vicky and Alex led the way to the Drinks Reception back in the House. After a little while, it was time to take the family group photographs outside. Making sure Vicky and Alex had time to socialise with their Guests, resulted in some nice informal pictures. Leaving the guests to continue with the Drinks Reception we took Vicky and Alex for a short walk around the grounds of Leez Priory, it was so lovely to find some daffodils at last!
For a few Bride and Groom portraits we went to the Carriageway under the Great Tower before returning to the House. Following the Wedding Breakfast and coverage of the Speeches, with the sun going down provided Vicky and Alex with a nice sunset picture before it was time for their cake cutting. 
Vicky and Alex performed a surprise superbly rehearsed First Dance with our day ending with a couple of night shots.

Wedding Photography for Melissa & Dave – Marks Hall, Coggeshall
It was a beautiful spring day for the Wedding of Melissa and Dave. Our day started at Melissa’s Parents’ home with the final bridal preparations which were going very well. With everybody ready we took a few pictures of Melissa, her Parents, the Flowergirls and Pageboy, before leaving to go to St. Peter’s Church for the ceremony. The church and grounds looked a picture in the lovely sunshine and as Dave and his Groomsmen arrived at the Church we took a few pictures of them. With everyone seated in the Church it was time for the flowergirls and pageboys to make their entrance into the Church followed by Melissa with her Dad. St Peter’s Church is beautiful and makes for some lovely photographs.
Following the service Melissa and Dave let their Guests down the aisle.The guestts lined the path on both sides for the confetti throwing. Melissa and Dave wanted a few family group pictures taken at the Church which we did before leaving to go to the Reception at Marks Hall, Coggeshall. Whilst the Guests were arriving, Melissa, Dave and ourselves went for a short walk around the grounds and to the lakes. Melissa and Dave are a lovely couple full of enthusiasm and aided by the warm weather made for some great relaxed pictures. Although spoilt for choice as to the photographic opportunities, we only kept Melissa and Dave a minimum amount of time away for their Guests, hoping for a little time later on!
Guests enjoyed the Drinks Reception on the Terrace and we captured some nice images of the Bridesmaids and Pageboys in the garden. The Wedding Breakfast was held in the Coach House and followed by the Speeches. Playing a waiting game for the sunset resulted in some brilliant pictures as the evening Guests were arriving.
A little while after the First Dance it was time for us to say goodbye. A brilliant day and thank you to Bouqui Garni for a super meal. -

Wedding Photography for Sarah & James – Fennes
It was a beautiful spring day for the Wedding of Sarah and James at The Fennes Estate, Bocking. Sarah and her Bridesmaids were busily getting ready with everything going very smoothly. James was also getting ready at Fennes and when he was ready he greeted the arrival of the first Guests for their Wedding, before some pictures of him , his Best Man and Ushers. Sarah was very soon ready and together with her Bridesmaids had a few pictures taken before the Civil Ceremony. Following the Ceremony, Sarah and James led their Guests through the House and outside for the Drinks Reception. Guests enjoyed the warm sunshine whilst we got on with a few requested family group pictures. Fun and laughter took place during some bridal party pictures before we managed to take Sarah and James for a litte while for their pictures.
Sarah and James had a few pictures in the Red room before it was time for confetti pictures and the Wedding Breakfast. Speeches followed before a break before the evening. Being such a lovely day, Sarah and James had a wonderful sunset picture before it was time for the First Dance.
We took some evening Guest pictures, before James and the Wedding Guests were given a surprise with a rehearsed dance by Sarah and the girls! The response by the boys, an unrehearsed dance! Great fun, lovely atmosphere, wonderful captured images of the day! -
