Evening Wedding Photography

Susannah and Daniel booked us for Evening Wedding Photography when they were married at the popular Crabbs Barn earlier in the year.

When we arrived at Crabbs Barn, Susannah was almost ready and we had enough time to take a few pictures of her and her family. The weather was fine to take some pictures outside the Bridal Room. The sun going down was a bonus and provided a nice setting. Daniel had a few pictures taken before going in to the Barn for the Ceremony.

Following the Ceremony for a few minutes we took Susannah and Daniel off for a few pictures whilst the Guests were served drinks. Susannah and Daniel had time to mingle with their Guests for a short time afterwards.

In the Barn we took a few requested family pictures. Joshua, Susannah and Daniel’s eighteen month old son had a few pictures as well. Before everyone had something to eat we all went outside where the Guests threw confetti over Susannah and Daniel. A couple of informal Speeches took place later. The Band had set up and after the cutting of the cake Susannah took to the dance floor for their First Dance. Our final pictures of the evening were a little later and after that we said our goodbyes. A lovely couple and a nice relaxed Wedding.

Wedding Photography for Maria & Ian

Wedding Photography for Maria & Ian

It was a bright dry day when we arrived at Crabbs Barn for the Wedding Photography for Maria and Ian. Maria was getting ready in the Bridal room and we joined her to take a few pictures of her Wedding Dress and Accessories, as well as a few ‘capture the moment’ shots.

When Ian arrived before he got on with greeting too many of the Guests, we took a few pictures of him with his Groomsmen. Everyone mingled until it was time to go inside the Barn for the Ceremony. Maria was soon ready and was joined by the Bridesmaids. After a few pictures, it was time to walk around to the Barn. Rain started to fall so we hurried inside quicker than usual.

The Reception

Following the Ceremony, the Guests went into the Garden Room for the Drinks Reception, whilst we took Maria and Ian for a couple of pictures at the gate. The rain had stopped and the ground was drying up. Maria and Ian then joined their Guests. A little while later we went outside and took the requested family pictures with a variety of others. We managed to take Maria and Ian for a quick walk around the grounds before it was time for the Wedding Breakfast.

The Speeches followed, during this time it rained again but worked nicely for Maria and Ian because just as the Speeches had finished a rainbow appeared! A nice picture followed by the Guests joining us for the confetti pictures. By now it was nice evening, sunny and the children and adults had the choice of staying outside or return to the Garden Room. For their entertainment a Magician was on hand, whilst we took Maria and Ian out into the lane for a couple of sunset pictures. As we returned the Evening Guests were arriving and a little while later everyone returned to the Barn for the cutting of the Wedding Cake and Maria an Ian’s First Dance. After capturing a flavour of the evening and happy with our coverage of Maria and Ian’s Wedding we said our ‘goodbyes’. A lovely day!

Pagan Handfasting Photography

Pagan Handfasting Photography

Not long before their Handfasting Ceremony at Crabbs Barn, Kelvedon, we met Niki and Chris to confirm timings and details of their big day. As this is to be our first pagan hand fasting as photographers it was important to make sure we understood all the important points before the big day! Afterwards we went for a walk around the grounds for a few practice pictures of them. The nice grounds provided a nice backdrop for the photos and our fingers are crossed for a dry day for their Pagan Wedding being held outside at Crabbs Barn in a few weeks time.

Crabbs Barn Wedding Photographer – Sam & Craig

Crabbs Barn Wedding Photographer

A blue sky and fluffy white clouds greeted us on arrival at Crabbs Barn, Kelvedon, for the Wedding of Sam and Craig. Crabbs Barn looked a picture and Paul and the rest of the staff warmly welcomed us as always. Sam arrived at the Bridal Suite with her hair and make up done, leaving just the final touches to complete. Everyone was excited, rightly so! A little while later Craig arrived with his Best Man and Ushers and before they got underway with their duties they had a few pictures taken. Once Sam was ready we took a few pictures then assisted by her Bridesmaids and Flowergirl, they walked around to the Barn. After seeing the Registrars, it was time for the Civil Ceremony.

With the sun streaming in through the windows, Sam and Craig exchanged their Wedding vows. After the Ceremony. the Drinks Reception was held in Pavilion, where we took some informal pictures. Clouds were gathering so we decided to get on with some requested Group pictures during that time as well. Following these, keeping an eye on the weather and knowing Sam and Craig wanted their pictures around the splendid grounds of Crabbs Barn, we carried on with their ‘together’pictures.

In next to no time we completed these allowing a little more social time for Sam and Craig to enjoy. After the ‘everybody’ picture it was time for the Wedding Breakfast. Craig delivered his Speech prior to the meal being served as the rain arrived. Good timing! The sun came out again during the Wedding Breakfast and with everything running smoothly there was sufficient time before the rest of the Speeches for a couple of sunset pictures. Sam’s Mum’s Speech was followed by a Speech by the Best Man.

Afterwards Sam and Craig’s Guests enjoyed coffee in the Pavilion, followed by the arrival of their Evening Guests. As a surprise, Sam and Craig had arranged a firework display for their Guests’ enjoyment.

After cutting the wedding cake and coverage of Sam and Craig’s First Dance we took a few images capturing their evening Guests just before our our day ended. A lovely couple and a lovely day to be a Crabbs Barn Wedding Photographer !

Crabbs Barn Wedding Photography – We arrived at Louise’s home for her preparation photographs prior to Louise and Stephen’s Wedding Ceremony at Crabbs Barn, Kelvedon. Preparations were well in hand and Emily, Louise and Stephen’s daughter was enjoying watching what was going on! With the details photographed, Isobel, the Bridesmaid got ready whilst Louise dressed Emily before getting herself ready. Emily was wonderful, smiling constantly, providing us with some nice images, a ‘thank you’ to Isobel for helping us as well. Meanwhile, Louise was putting on her lovely Wedding Dress and it wasn’t long before she came downstairs for a few pictures before we left for Crabbs Barn. The earlier rain had disappeared and the forecast for the day was looking good and so it continued when we got to Crabbs Barn. We took a few pictures of Stephen and his Best Man, Dan, then left them to continue their duties. Louise arrived later escorted by her Dad and they made their way into the Barn for the Civil Ceremony. After the Ceremony Louise and Stephen went for a ride in the car whilst their Guests enjoyed the Drinks Reception. During the afternoon we took a few family group pictures and later took Louise and Stephen for a few together pictures.

Louise and Stephen were showered in petals just before the start of the Wedding Breakfast. Afterwards we captured some nice reaction images in the Speeches. Before the evening celebrations began we took Louise and Sephen around Crabbs Barn for some photographs including a visit to the Cornfield. After Louise and Stephen’s First Dance and taking a few pictures of their evening Guests we took a final night time picture. before taking our leave.

Crabbs Barn wedding photography for Hannah & Craig

Crabbs Barn Wedding Photography – It was a rather humid day to start with for Hannah and Craig’s Wedding but the almighty downpour before Hannah arrived at Crabbs Barn made way for cooler air and sunshine. Hannah had her hair and make up done at home so just leaving a few final bridal preparations to do at Crabbs Barn. Hannah’s Wedding Dress and accessories were laid out in the Bridal Room and whilst these were being photographed, the girls were excitedly getting ready. When Craig arrived at Crabbs Barn, he just needed to put on his cravat and jacket before he was ready with his Best Man and Usher for a few pictures in the grounds – Hannah being well out of sight! It wasn’t long before Hannah, her Mum and Dad, Bridesmaids, Frankie, Julia and Catherine were all ready for their pictures. They stepped outside as it was such a lovely day and we had time to take some nice images. Paul from Crabbs Barn arrived shortly afterwards to take them on the short walk to the front of the barn.

Craig was safely tucked away inside the Barn waiting for Hannah to take her Dad’s arm and walk into the Ceremony. Following the Ceremony, Hannah and Craig socialised with their Guests during the Drinks Reception ouside enjoying the sunshine.

After a little while it was time to get on with some family group pictures and fun bridal party shots. With these over with swiftly, Hannah and Craig had a short break before it was time time to take Hannah and Craig for their together pictures around the grounds.

Hannah and Craig were then showered in petals before the Wedding Breakfast commenced. The Speeches followed the Wedding Breakfast and we captured some great moments, especially with the Best Man’s Speech! Afterwards everybody relaxed outside and the evening Guests started to arrive. This was the best time to escape for a few minutes with Hannah for a few extra pictures using the evening light. After the cake cutting, it was time for Hannah and Craig’s First Dance. What a fabulous First Dance! Then to cap a memorable day for such a happy couple, a beautiful sunset!
