We met Zhanine and David recently at Papermill Lock, Great Baddow. As we walked we stopped occasionally at a few spots for some pictures of the two of them. Over a cup of tea we chatted about their Church Wedding and their Wedding Reception at The Fennes Estate, Bocking.
Occasionally and for a wide variety of reasons, we photograph Weddings where the couple request we keep their pictures private and not share them online or use them in anyway. Of course when requested to do this we will comply. Therefore, here is a lovely picture of the superb Wedding Venue from earlier in the year and as the couple have requested us not to use their pictures, that is all we can do do for this wedding!,
It was a bright but cold day when we arrived at Fennes to cover Kirstie and Jason’s Wedding Day. Kirstie was getting ready upstairs and Jason was getting ready in the cottage, so there was plenty of action going on to keep us busy! After a few pictures of Jason, his Best Man and Ushers they left to go to the Church. When Kirstie, her Parents and Bridesmaids were ready we took a few pictures before it was time for us to leave for the Church, St Mary’s, Bocking. 
Guests were beginning to arrive by a Wedding Bus and Coach, but we had time to take a few pictures of Jason outside the Church, before he resumed his duties. The path leading up to St Mary’s Church makes for one of our favourite places for Guest arrival pictures which we took and captured some nice images. It wasn’t long before Kirstie arrived. Although it was still bright the temperature wasn’t increasing, so Kirstie, her Dad and the Bridesmaids didn’t waste any time getting from the car to the porch! With the music playing Kirstie walked into the Church for the service to begin. After the service Kirstie and Jason came down the aisle but didn’t go outside the door! As a few pictures family pictures were requested, being extremely cold i,t was decided to do these pictures in the warmth of the Church! Afterwards the Guests lined the path for Kirstie and Jason to walk down, showering them in confetti. Kirstie and Jason returned to Fennes in the Coach with their Guests following them.
After Kirstie and Jason had a short time with their Guests before Kirstie put her boots on for going over to the Bridge for a few of their together pictures. During the afternoon we took pictures inside and outside Fennes as the weather held before it was time for the Wedding Breakfast. Whilst the Wedding Guests were being seated we made the most of a few moments with Kirstie and Jason in the Gold Room and Red Room resulting in some nice images. 
The Pavilion looked wonderful for the Wedding Breakfast. After the Speeches, their Evening Guests arrived. A couple of night shots and a couple of special group pictures ended our day. 
A beautiful Christmas Wedding, a wonderful couple!
Wedding Photographer The Fennes
Our Wedding Photography coverage of Caroline and Simon’s Wedding started at The Fennes Estate, Bocking on a bright and dry but chilly day. Caroline was in the final stages of having her hair done with the Bridesmaids, Flowergirls and Pageboys getting dressed. Simon was having a few pictures taken with his Groomsmen outside, with the ‘Back to the Future’ Delorean, which was going to take him to St Mary’s Church, Bocking, for the Wedding. It wasn’t long before Caroline got dressed with the help of her Mum and her Bridesmaids and she was ready for a few pictures.
David and I then left them to go to the Church. Many of Caroline and Simon’s Guests came on the Routemaster bus and as they arrived at the Church we took some arrival pictures as they made their way into the Church. Caroline arrived at the Church and as it was quite cold made her way quickly into Church for some warmth! After the Church service we quickly took a couple of family pictures before Caroline and Simon walked down the path and were showered in confetti. Once back at Fennes, the car took centre stage for a little while, making for some different pictures. With Caroline and Simon’s Guests enjoying the Drinks Reception inside as well, we managed to find a few minutes to take Caroline and Simon around Fennes for a few pictures of them together. 
Later we used the Gold Room inside the House for a few requested family pictures before the Wedding Breakfast commenced. The Speeches followed the Wedding Breakfast and then it was time for the evening celebrations to begin. Caroline and Simon’s evening Guests started to arrive, so we took a few informal pictures of them before the cutting of the Wedding Cake and the First Dance. Happy to have been the wedding photographer The Fennes for another day and happy with the pictures that we had taken throughout the day we said our goodbyes.
Wedding photos Fennes for the wedding of Tracey & Robert. It was a nice day and on arrival at Fennes we made our way upstairs to find the girls. There was great excitement and laughter which we caught on camera! With Tracey’s details and accessories photographed the girls continued their preparations.
Robert was having a few pictures taken outside Fennes before greeting the Wedding Guests. After taking a few portraits of all the girls once they were ready, it was time for Tracey to meet with the Registrars before the Ceremony.
Tracey’s son was giving her away so after taking his arm they made their way into the Pavilion. Following the Ceremony, Tracy and Robert led their Guests outside for the Drinks Reception. There were a few requested pictures, including some fun pictures. Some nice informal pictures of the Guests were taken whilst everybody socialised in the sunshine.
Later we took Tracey and Robert for a short time around the grounds for their together pictures. Not only are the grounds lovely at Fennes, so are the rooms in the house! Tracey and Robert wanted a few pictures inside and we managed to squeeze them in before it was time for confetti and the Receiving Line. The Wedding Breakfast followed and that is where we took our leave. A lovely time!
Wedding Photographs Fennes – The popular friendly Wedding Venue, The Fennes near Braintree, Essex, was Kristen and Andrew’s choice for their Wedding Day. Arriving at Fennes, Kristen was busily getting ready upstairs with the Bridesmaids and Flowergirls. Preparations were going well, so with keeping an eye on developments together with taking some detail pictures, it was busy! David sought out the men who were almost ready and when they were, there was time for some pictures to be taken. For a change David took Andrew, with his Best Man, Andy, out the back of Fennes for their pictures, even though it was raining.
Pleased with the results they returned to the house. Meanwhile, Kristen was in the final stages of getting dressed and soon ready for some pictures. 
Equally some lovely pictures captured of Kristen and the girls. In no time at all it was time for the Wedding Ceremony. With the Guests seated the Flowergirls led the way into the Pavilion followed by the Bridesmaids and Kristin escorted by her Father. Following the Ceremony, Kristen and Andrew led their Guests to the front of Fennes for the Drinks Reception.
Unable to go outside at that particular time due to the continuing rain, the Wedding Guests made themselves comfortable in the rooms in Fennes, leaving us the Gold Room to take some pictures of the happy couple. A short while after the rain stopped, we all went outside for a few pictures, making good use of the steps. Later after socialising with their Guests, Kristen changed her footwear so we could venture further outside for their pictures. Kristen and Andrew wanted to make the most of the superb grounds for their wedding photography, so off we went, for a short tour! An enjoyable time, resulting in some lovely pictures for them. 
Once they were back indoors the Guests threw confetti over Kristen and Andrew before the guests made their way to the Pavilion for the Wedding Breakfast. This allowed a few minutes for some pictures of Kristin and Andrew in the Red Room, before they also made their entrance into the Pavilion. Speeches followed the meal and then the Pavilion was prepared for the evening celebrations. After their evening Guests arrived in time for cutting the Wedding Cake shortly prior to the First Dance. Some lovely moments captured! Our coverage of Kristin and Andrew”s Wedding Day finished with their ‘sparklers’. A great day!
Wedding Photography Fennes – Zarah and Glenn chose to have their Wedding at the popular Wedding Venue, Fennes. It was a warm and dry day when we arrived at Fennes, with the chairs set out for an outdoor Ceremony. We went upstairs to find Zarah and the girls who were busy getting ready. Whilst the girls were getting ready, we took pictures of the dresses and accessories, in the Fennes Suite.
Glenn with his Best Man and Ushers had arrived and were soon ready for their pictures. As their pictures were being taken it started to rain. This was not on the cards! The shower of rain continued for a while, so the Ceremony was transferred to inside. Upstairs Zarah and Glenn’s two sons, Jack & Teddy were looking very smart when they joined the girls upstairs. Once the girls were finished dressing we took a few pictures before it was time for Zarah to make her way to the Pavilion for the Ceremony. After the Ceremony the rain had stopped and it had dried up, so everybody went outside. The children enjoyed playing during the Drinks Reception and after taking the family pictures some fun time with the Bridal Party, resulted in some great images. A quick walk around the grounds for Zarah and Glenn’s pictures was followed by the confetti pictures in the Gold Room. 
After the Wedding Breakfast and coverage of the Speeches, before the evening Guests arrived, we took Zarah and Glenn for a few evening pictures around Fennes, including of course our signature Heart shot. 
Zarah and Glenn’s took to the Dancefloor for their First Dance after cutting their Wedding Cake. A short time later we left them to continue the celebrations. It was a pleasure to work with David of Rideout Productions again.
