  • Wedding Photography for Lauren & Greg – The Fennes Estate, Bocking

    It was a beautiful day when we arrived at Fennes for Lauren and Greg’s Wedding, perfect for an outside Civil Ceremony.  Whilst the girls were getting ready and having some pictures taken, upstairs in the House, the boys were making their final preparations before a few pictures. Later, Lauren made her way through the Gold Room and out into the sunshine to be greeted by Greg and the Wedding Guests waiting at the Gazebo. essex-wedding-photographer-fennes After the Civil Ceremony, Lauren and Greg greeted and mingled with their Guests during the outside Drinks Reception and we took their family group photographs and some fun bridal party pictures.  Timings were perfect, allowing time for taking Lauren and Greg for a few minutes around Fennes for their pictures.wedding-photographer-essex-fennes Prior to the Wedding Breakfast, Lauren and Greg were showered in confetti in the Gold Room.  Speeches followed the Wedding Breakfast then everybody relaxed outside in the evening sunshine.  A wonderful sunset provided Lauren and Greg with some lovely images before the evening celebrations. essex-wedding-photographer-fennes Thanks to Lauren and Greg for asking us to join them at Wedding Breakfast as two guests were unable to attend.

  • Wedding Photography for Kelly & Tommy – The Fennes Estate

    We arrived at Kelly’s parents’ house where everything was going well with the final preparations.  As it was a lovely day, when Kelly was ready we went into the garden for some pictures of Kelly, Bridesmaids and Parents. Once these were taken we made our way to Fennes where Kelly and Tommy chose to have their Wedding.  Tommy and his Groomsmen were ready to have their photographs taken, before Kelly arrived.  As the weather was really good, the Civil Ceremony was taking place outside in the Gazebo, where the Guests were seated.  Kelly arrived at Fennes and made her way to the Ceremony through the Gold Room. wedding-photographer-essex-fennesFamily group pictures, fun bridal party shots followed after the Ceremony during the Drinks Reception.  We took Kelly and Tommy for a few pictures around the grounds of Fennes in between them socialising with their Guests. wedding-photographer-essex-fennes As the Guests made their way to the Wedding Breakfast in the Pavilion, we had a little time with Kelly and Tommy for some fun relaxed photographs in the Gold Room and the front part of the house.wedding-photographer-essex-fennes Following the Wedding Breakfast and Speeches, Kelly and Tommy wanted some pictures in The Fennes Suite before their evening celebrations.

  • Wedding Photography for Reena & Steve – The Fennes Estate

    Wow!  What an amazing day!  Not one but two Wedding Ceremonies on the day for Reena and Steve!  David and I arrived in plenty of time at Fennes, familiarising ourselves with the order of the day.  David went to find Steve and his Groomsmen, whilst I joined Reena and the Bridesmaids.  With lots going on in both camps, there was plenty to photograph. The first Ceremony was a Civil Ceremony and as it was a warm, dry and bright Summer’s day the Ceremony was held outside in the Gazebo, a perfect setting!  With the many Guests seated and with Steve awaiting his Bride, Reena made her way to the Gazebo.wedding-photographer-essex-fennes Following the Ceremony, Guests mingled in the lovely grounds of Fennes, whilst enjoying the Drinks Reception. A few pictures on the Bridge for Reena and Steve followed together with a few family group photographs.  Reena and Steve had time to enjoy talking to their Guests before a few fun bridal party pictures were taken.   It was not long before Reena and Steve left their Guests to change into traditional dress for the Hindu Ceremony.  With such an array of colour and lots going on, outside as well as inside at Fennes, and as this was our first Hindu Ceremony, our feet didn’t touch the ground!  The Mandap looked absolutely fabulous and after Steve had been welcomed by Reena’s Mum and they had taken their places, Reena entered the Mandap.essex-wedding-photographer-hindu-fennes After the Ceremony everybody went outside for some more pictures that the couple requested.wedding-photographer-essex-hindu-fennes Before the Meal,  Reena changed again into an beautiful evening Sari, providing us with even more variety of pictures. Following the Starters, Speeches were made before the main meal.  After the cake cutting, and Reena and Steve’s First Dance we finished our day.  A massive thank you to Reena and Steve for including and educating us so much on their special day.  It was good to work with David of Rideout Productions yet again and thanks to the staff at Fennes as always.wedding-photographer-essex-hindu-fennes

  • Wedding Photography for Judith and Cameron – St. Mary's Church, Bocking and Fennes, Bocking

    We started our coverage of Judith and Cameron’s Wedding at The Fennes Estate,Bocking.  Preparations were going well and after a few pictures of Judith, her Parents and Bridesmaids in the lovely rooms of Fennes, we left to go St. Mary’s Church, Bocking for the Church service. wedding-photographer-essex-fennes Cameron and his Groomsmen were greeting Guests as we arrived and after capturing a few photographs of the men we awaited the arrival of Judith. With a blue sky and fluffy white clouds it was a glorious setting as Judith made her way into Church.  After the service and a few family photographs outside the Church, Judith and Cameron left to go to Fennes covered in confetti!  The couple and their Guests enjoyed a Drinks Reception outside, interrupted at times for various requested photographs.  For Judith and Cameron’s pictures a short walk around Fennes provided them with some wonderful relaxed images.wedding-photographer-essex-fennes Following the Wedding Breakfast and Speeches, and as Judith and Cameron (as well as us!) wanted to have some more pictures taken we used the beautiful insides of Fennes as our settings.  We had planned a few outside but the rain put paid to that! After capturing a wonderful set dance routine, we took some pictures of the evening Guests, taking our time, as we knew there was going to be a surprise later for everybody.  A superb surprise firework display ended a wonderful day for us whilst everyone else returned inside to carry on the celebrations. wedding-photographer-essex-fennes Congratulations to Cameron on his Distinction and his Appointment as a Doctor.
