Sara and Paul were married earlier this year at St Vincent de Paul RC Church, Dagenham and their Reception followed at Crondon Park.
The weather unfortunately was not the best for the day, Following the Church service, off we went to Crondon Park.
Something different, a Chinese Tea party, which was enjoyed by everyone took place during the afternoon. After the Chinese Tea Party and the Wedding Breakfast, we caught up with a few group pictures and a few pictures of Paul and Sara.
Throughout the day lots of great informal pictures.
Wedding Photography at Crondon Park for Dawn & Cam’s summer wedding
Wedding Preparations
Before we arrived at Crondon Park, our first port of call was at the home of Dawn and Cam. This was where Dawn was getting ready for her Wedding with her Bridesmaids and friends. Preparations were going very well. All the girls were relaxed, enjoying themselves and in the middle of very many preparations. Plenty of details and accessories to photograph so we got on with taking those pictures.
Once the girls had their hair and make up nearly finished we took a couple of pictures of them in their Dressing Gowns. The Bridesmaids then went upstairs to get their dresses on and Dawn followed a bit later.
It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining and we had a nice garden to take the photographs in when everyone was ready. Dawn had some pictures taken of her as well as a few with her Bridesmaids. The car had arrived just after we had finished taking the pictures so just before we took the a couple of car photos too.
Crondon Park
Arriving at Crondon Park we met up with Cam who was with his Sons and got on with their pictures.
As the Guests started to arrive we took some informal pictures. Dawn and her Bridesmaids soon arrived at Crondon Park where they went into the Bridal Suite in the Cottage away from everyone. Dawn’s Father was waiting for her there and we had some time to take a few pictures with the two of them. Meanwhile the Guests were making their way through to the Ceremony Room to take their seats. When it was time Dawn and the Bridesmaids walked over to the Barn and through the Baronial Hall to the Ceremony Room. The Bridesmaids entered the room, followed by Dawn who took her Father’s arm as they came into the room.
After The Ceremony
After the Ceremony everyone went outside for the Reception Drinks. Dawn and Cam talked to their Guests for a little while. The requested family pictures were taken in the grounds as well as the ‘everybody’ shot and confetti pictures.
During the afternoon there was time for Dawn and Cam to socialise before we took them for a few pictures over by the lake. It was so sunny! Moving around we took a few more ‘together’ pictures before returning to their Guests.
The Speeches
The Wedding Breakfast was in the Baronial Hall and afterwards it was time for the Speeches.
Once these were completed and to allow the room to be set up for the evening celebrations everyone stepped outside. The Evening Guests joined them. Capturing informal pictures individual and of small groups took place for a little while. Before long the Room was ready and Guests followed Dawn and Cam inside. Dawn and Cam cut their Wedding Cake before taking to the dance floor for their First Dance.
The First Dance and Sunset
There was a sunset after a glorious day so that was an opportunity not to be missed. That worked well because after that Dawn and Cam disappeared for a very short time so that Dawn could change out of her Wedding Dress into another dress! Dawn and Cam are excellent dancers! As a surprise to the Wedding Guests Dawn and Cam then took to the dance floor again for a choreographed dance. It was superb!
A lovely way to end our Wedding Photography at Crondon Park for Dawn & Cam.
Stephanie and Will visited us one evening to create their Engagement pictures. This was also the chance to talk about their Wedding at Brentwood Cathedral and their Reception at Crondon Park . After chatting about their Wedding used the evening light to take a few pictures of Stephanie and Will.
It is always a pleasure to receive a ‘Thank You’ for our Wedding Photography. Lauren and Nick were married in April 2011 at Crondon Park, Stock
To David and Sandra
Just a quick note to say thank you so much for doing an amazing job with our wedding photos! Not only is your work of top quality but you are both such lovely people, you made everyone feel relaxed. You really have given us some dream photos!!
Wow, what an extra special day! We have known Sam since she was two years old, so it was a real privilege to photograph her Wedding. This was the hottest day of the year and David’s Birthday! After taking some getting ready pictures at Sam’s Parents’ house, we went into the garden, making use of a shady spot for a few family pictures. Sam looked absolutely stunning! As the Limousine arrived we left to go to Crondon Park and find Paul, Best Men and Ushers for some relaxed pictures. After the Civil Ceremony we took Sam and Paul to the oilseed rape field for some relaxed, fun, Bride and Groom portraits, whilst their Guests enjoyed the Drinks Reception. Allowing Sam and Paul time to mingle with their Guests, we were able to capture some lovely natural images of the day. Following the superb Wedding Breakfast and Speeches, a relaxed walk over to the Lake with the happy couple, in the evening sunshine, capturing some lovely moments, the evening party began. Sam and Paul are a lovely couple and we were so happy to be a part of their wonderful day.
We were recommended to Sian and Jason as Photographers by Jason’s brother Andy, whose Wedding we photographed six years ago. Following a few pictures at their home in Chafford Hundred we photographed the Wedding Ceremony at St Joseph’s Church, Upminster and then onto the Reception at Crondon Park, Billericay. St Joseph’s Church is a lovely light Church which helps our photographs. The steps outside the Church were excellent in helping to arrange the family groups quickly. On arrival at Crondon Park, Sian and Jason wanted some Bride and Groom portraits, which were improved by a lovely day. After socialising with their Guests, Sian and Jason wanted some fun pictures with the Bridal Party, which we were more than happy to oblige and captured some lovely expressions. David and I left the happy couple after the First Dance.
