Our day started at Laura’s family home where everything was running smoothly. Final touches were being applied to hair and make-up, making for some nice pictures. We were able to take some beautiful photographs of Laura, her Bridesmaids and her Parents when all preparations were complete before leaving for Braxted Park, Essex for the Wedding. As the rain was not falling at the time we arrived at Braxted Park, we were able to take some pictures outside of Jon, his Attendants, and Parents before the Ceremony. After the Civil Ceremony which was held in The Orangery, we took Laura and Jon for a few photographs in the main House, (it was now raining!) as The Orangery was being prepared for a Jewish Blessing.
It was lovely to capture two Ceremonies at one Wedding! Laura and Jon wanted their photographs outside and so did we and rain was not going to stop us, so as their Guests enjoyed the Drinks Reception in the Pavillion, off we went! Our thanks go to Le Baron for helping us and with the use of our wellies, umbrellas and laughter, photographs of Laura and Jon with the cars, in with the bluebells and by the lake were achieved. Laura and Jon had time to socialise after this before a few family pictures. Being organised and with the help of everybody family group pictures were taken outside with the minimum of fuss and time. During the Wedding Breakfast the The Three Waiters performed a surprise act to everybody. Some early evening pictures were taken in drier places around Braxted Park and we were all surprised by an unexpected sunset! Dancing pictures were captured and Laura and Jon ended their day with their Guests standing either side of the path with lighted sparklers. A truly memorable day, thank you especially to Laura and Jon, smiling all day, excited, and not letting the weather bother them! We love our job!
