Crabbs Barn Evening Wedding Photography for Charlotte & Mark

Crabbs Barn Evening Wedding Photography for Charlotte & Mark

Charlotte and Mark wanted an evening winter Wedding at the poplar Wedding Venue, Crabbs Barn, Kelvedon. Before going to Crabbs Barn we called in briefly to see all the girls who were getting ready at the Riverhall Hotel. After taking a couple pictures of Charlotte’s Dress, some accessories and a few getting ready pictures we left them to finish their preparations. Arrriving at Crabbs Barn we met Mark his Parents and Best Man. The wedding guests started to arrive soon after we had finished the Men’s photos. When the Bridesmaids and Charlotte and Mark’s daughter arrived there was time for some pictures of them before the arrival of Charlotte.

Charlotte, looked lovely as entered the Barn escorted by her Grandparents for the Civil Ceremony. Following the Ceremony everybody went over to the Garden Room for the Drinks Reception. After Charlotte and Mark spent a little time wth their Guests, we got on with the family group photos. For a few together pictures of Charlotte and Mark we went back into the Barn.

Later whilst some informal Speeches were taking place in the Garden Room we were able to capture some images of the Guests before everybody returned to the Barn to eat. The cutting of the Wedding Cake preceded the First Dance and after taking a nightime picture we left them. It was nice to see Irene of Blushing Brides and we can now add her Grandaughter’s Wedding as well as covering both her Daughter’s Weddings!

Wedding Photography Crabbs Barn, Kelvedon for Victoria & Antony

Wedding Photography Crabbs Barn – Crabbs Barn was the chosen Venue for Victoria and Antony’s Wedding. With the amount of rain we had in the morning we were so pleased it had all disappeared before we arrived at Crabbs Barn later on in the day. At the Bridal Suite preparations were going well. The Bridesmaids, Flowergirl and Pageboys stepped outside the room for a moment so we could photograph Vickies dress which they were not allowed to see until it was on! Afterwards they finished getting ready and when Vicky was ready we captured some lovely moments when they saw her dressed.

Whilst this was going on Antony, his Best Man and Ushers were having their pictures taken by David before they resumed their duties. Stepping outside of the Bridal Suite we took a few pictures of Vicky, her Parents and Bridesmaids. It was soon time for Vicky to make the short walk into the Barn for the Civil Ceremony. Following the Ceremony Vicky and Antony led their Guests outside for the Drinks Reception. During the afternoon, there was time for Vicky and Antony to enjoy talking to their Guests as well as having the requested photographs taken. After a few pictures of the two of them around the grounds of Crabbs Barn it was time for the Wedding Breakfast. Following the Speeches the Guests went to The Garden Room for coffee whilst the Barn was prepared for the evening celebrations. When most of Vicky and Antony’s evening Guests had arrived the happy couple then took to the dance floor for their First Dance. Before we left a little while later we took a couple of nightime pictures of Vicky and Antony which completed a wonderful day.
