It was a cold but dry day when we arrived at Crabbs Barn, Kelvedon, for the Wedding of Natasha and Mark. Natasha was getting ready in the Bridal Suite together with her Bridesmaid, Khadyah, and as the time progressed we captured the images. When Natasha was ready, her Dad greeted her and after a few pictures it was time to take the short walk to the Barn for the Civil Ceremony, where close family and friends were waiting. Natasha and Mark wanted an intimate and relaxed day with their close family and friends. Following the Ceremony, Natasha and Mark had a little while by themselves before we took a few pictures of them. Not wanting to keep them outside very long, we managed their time very well and achieved some nice images.
With their Guests enjoying the Reception Drinks and Natasha and Mark joining them, in between we took a few family group pictures inside the Garden Room together with some informal pictures. The Wedding Breakfast was held in the barn on one big table, which made for a wonderful intimate atmosphere.
Coverage of the Speeches followed before the start of the evening Reception. As more Guests arrived for the Evening Reception we took some informal pictures of them before the cutting of the cake and the First Dance. To finish our day we took a couple of pictures of the happy couple outside the Barn.

Wedding Photography for Laura & Shane – Crabbs Barn, Kelvedon, Essex
Laura was getting ready for her Wedding at the Middiford Barn, Great Wigborough, which is where our coverage of Laura and Shane’s Wedding started. It was a dry, pleasant day but very windy so we took a few pictures of Laura inside the Barn rather than outside.
After a little while we left to go to Crabbs Barn, Kelvedon, and once there took a few pictures of Shane before Laura arrived.
Following the Civil Ceremony everybody socialised outside during the Drinks Reception. Some requested family group pictures were taken in between capturing the atmosphere and informal pictures.
Just before the Wedding Breakfast, Laura, we spent a few minutes around Crabbs Barn creating some pictures of Laura and Shane. The early evening sun after the Wedding Breakfast and Speeches gave us a wonderful opportunity for a few more photographs of the happy couple before their evening Guests arrived. Once it was dark Laura and Shane released a few illuminated balloons before their First Dance . -

Wedding Photography for Rachel & Garry – Crabbs Barn, Kelvedon
Rachel and Garry chose the popular Crabbs Barn for their Summer Wedding. Rachel was getting ready in the Bridal Suite whilst Garry arrived at the front of Crabbs Barn in his classic Fiat 500. Following a few pictures of Garry with his Best Men, being such a humid day, a heavy shower interrupted proceedings but was soon over.
A few photographs of Rachel were taken outside the Bridal Suite before the Civil Ceremony in the Barn with their close family and friends. During the afternoon Rachel and Garry were joined by the rest of their Guests creating a Garden party atmosphere in the warm sunshine. We took Rachel and Garry for a few minutes during the afternoon Reception for some pictures, making sure we got a picture with their classic cars.
Following a BBQ, a short walk with Rachel and Garry in the soft evening light achieved some relaxed pictures, before the Speeches and Cake Cutting, which were going to take place in the grounds of Crabbs Barn. 
Dancing and evening celebrations followed in the Barn. Rachel and Garry had a really relaxed Wedding, just as they wanted. -
