  • Wedding Photography for Lorraine & Steve – Fennes

    Lorraine and Steve held their Wedding at The Fennes Estate, Bocking. Bridal preparations were taking place when we arrived, so after capturing these pictures together with some accessory shots.  With Steve and the guys having arrived at Fennes we took a few pictures of them outside the house.  Back to the girls who were now ready for their portraits. Annabelle, the Flowergirl and Bobby, the Pageboy, led the way into the Pavilion for the Ceremony. During the Ceremony it rained so afterwards Lorraine, Steve and their Guests had the Drinks Reception inside.  Everybody mingled in the four rooms at the front of the house whilst we took some informal pictures.  After a little while we were able to go outside for a few family group pictures and took a couple of pictures of Lorraine and Steve on the bridge before we were forced to return to the house due to the weather. wedding-photographer-essex-fennes Fennes provides many opportunities for photographs inside anyway so we took some photographs in the Gold Room. We were able to get outside again before the Receiving Line and this allowed us to to do some fun bridal party pictures. The Speeches followed the Wedding Breakfast and Steve’s son Guy, the Best Man, delivered his speech packed with emotion.  The early evening light made for some nice pictures of Lorraine and Steve together before the arrival of their Evening Guests.wedding-photographer-essex-fennes

  • Wedding Photography for Louise & Jamie – Fennes, Bocking

    The Fennes Estate with the addition of a snow covering, made an even more amazing setting for Louise and Jamie’s Wedding! Seeing the line up of wellies, on arrival, we knew it was going to be a great day!  Lots of excitable noise could be heard upstairs in Fennes with the girls getting ready.  Harry, Louise and Jamie’s son, was with them and had plenty of attention paid to him. After capturing the getting ready pictures and once the girls were ready we took a few photographs before it was time for the Civil Ceremony. wedding-photographer-essex-fennes-estate Louise looked radiant walking into the Ceremony with her Father, followed by the Bridesmaids. After the Ceremony, Louise, Jamie, family and friends enjoyed the Drinks Reception whilst we captured some informal images.  A little while later after a few family photographs in the warm in the Gold Room and following a change of footware for many of us, we ventured outside with the Bridal Party  for  some fun relaxed pictures walking through the snow. The Bridesmaids and Groomsmen returned inside leaving Louise, Jamie, Harry and us to go to the Bridge.wedding-photographer-essex-the-fennes
    wedding-photographer-essex-the-fennes-estate With beautiful light, a wonderful setting, a happy couple, some lovely pictures!  Confetti pictures were in the Gold Room before the Receiving Line.  After greeting their Guests, it was time for the Speeches before the Wedding Breakfast.  Harry’s Birthday was the following day so after the Wedding Breakfast there was a surprise Birthday cake for him. Before the arrival of their Evening Guests, Louise and Jamie wanted to have a few pictures taken around the inside of Fennes. Not long after Louise and Jamie cut their Wedding Cake and took to the dance floor for their First Dance.  Our night finished with a couple of closing pictures of Louise and Jamie in front of Fennes. wedding-photographer-essex-the-fennes-estate Great to work with David of Rideout Productions again and thanks to the staff at Fennes for looking after us so well.

  • Wedding Photography for Sammy & Jack – The Fennes Estate

    Sammy and Jack chose the superb Wedding Venue, The Fennes, for their Wedding.  Our first port of call on our arrival at Fennes was to the girls to see how things were coming along.  All was running smoothly, time for some detail pictures and capturing the atmosphere of the day.  Before long it was time for Jack, his Best Man and Usher to greet the first of their Guests downstairs as well as having a few photographs.  It was a dry bright day so stepping outside for the guys pictures was a must.  Once Sammy was ready, and after seeing the Registrars, it was time for her to make her entrance into the Pavilion for the Ceremony. wedding-photographer-essex-fennes After the Ceremony, Sammy and Jack led the way to the Drinks Reception at the front of the House and outside to take the ‘everybody’ picture.  The Guests remained outside enjoying the Drinks and sunshine  so we took the opportunity to take their family photographs. Sammy and the Bridesmaids wanted some pictures on the bridge we then took Sammy and Jack for their pictures around Fennes. wedding-photographer-essex-fennes After confetti pictures in the Gold Room, it was time for the Wedding Breakfast and Speeches, before a few pictures of Sammy and Jack followed by the evening reception.  After taking some informal pictures of their Evening Guests and the First Dance, Sammy and Jack wanted a night picture with Fennes Bridal cottage which we took before saying goodnight and watching them re-join their Guests for the rest of the evening. wedding-photographer-essex-fennes Thanks to the staff at Fennes for looking after us so well.
