    Braxted Park Wedding photography for the Civil Ceremony and Reception for Sarah and Toby’s Wedding. Sarah and Toby wanted to have an intimate Wedding with their Family and closest friends and we were delighted to photograph their special day for them.  When we arrived at Braxted Park we made our way to the Bride’s Changing Room where Sarah, her Mother, Elaine, and her sister Danielle, the Bridesmaid, were in the final stages of getting ready.

We delayed taking the photographs straight after the Ceremony due to a light shower of rain, which enabled Sarah and Toby to enjoy a drink and greet their Guests.  After a few minutes it was fine to go outside and start taking the requested group pictures.  It was a warm day and the weather held so afterwards we went down to the lake for a few pictures of Sarah and Toby together.

  • Wedding Photography for Sally & Steve – Braxted Park, Witham

    Sally and Steve chose the beautiful Wedding Venue, Braxted Park, for their Wedding.  Sally was getting ready in the house, and when we arrived preparations were going well and with ample space for everybody to move around some nice images were captured.  The rain that had been falling during the morning fortunately had stopped for some pictures of Steve outside with his Best Man and Parents. Sally and Steve had an early Wedding Ceremony  as they wanted ” to make the most of a wonderful day”.  The Wedding Ceremony was held in the Orangery and afterwards, Sally and Steve and ourselves went out towards the front of the House, whilst the Guests went the other way to the steps for the ‘everybody’ picture. wedding-photographer-essex-braxted park After this picture, with help from the Bridesmaids in keeping Sally’s dress from getting wet, Sally and Steve were showered in confetti before the Drinks Reception.  Allowing time for socialising and for us taking some informal pictures, a few requested family photographs were taken, before making our way towards the Gazebo, where it was dry underfoot for some pictures. With the Bridal Party joining us as well we took a few fun pictures before they returned to the Pavilion leaving us with Sally and Steve.  A change of footwear for Sally, an extremely quick drive to the Lake, a few pictures before returning to their Guests.  The Wedding Breakfast was followed by the Speeches and towards the latter part of the Speeches  the late afternoon sun was peering through the trees so after the Speeches Sally and Steve were more than happy to take advantage of this. wedding-photographer-essex-braxted park Sally and Steve’s evening celebrations started with the arrival of their evening Guests, then the Bouquet toss before the First Dance.  Sally and Steve performed a fantastic rehearsed First Dance which delighted everybody. With the lights on around Braxted Park, Sally and Steve wanted a few evening pictures which we enjoyed doing before leaving them to continue with their party.    wedding-photographer-essex-braxted park
