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.
Kirsten and Tarl chose us to photograph their Mulberry House wedding. When we arrived first thing on the morning of their Wedding, Kirsten was getting ready, helped by her Mother and sisters.
In between taking a few pictures of Kirsten’s bridal accessories we captured the informal moments of the preparations. Everything was going well which was very good, especially as we had to leave Mulberry house to go to the Church. We had time to take some nice pictures of Kirsten and the family.
St Mary’s Church, Great Parndon
was where Kirsten and Tarl were to be married. The wind had got up as we arrived at the Church but it was still dry. We got on with taking Tarl’s pictures with his Groomsmen before they went inside the Church to get warm and greet the Guests.
Kirsten arrived shortly afterwards and made her way into the Church. Cassie and Ethan, Kirsten and Tarl’s children went first. Being so windy we stayed in the Church for a few pictures after the ceremony. Leaving the Church, Kirsten and Tarl stopped briefly at the Church gates allowing the Guests to throw confetti over them.
Mulberry House Wedding Reception
Once we returned to Mulberry House, the weather started to improve. Whilst the Drinks Reception was going on we took informal pictures. As the Guests continued to socialise we took Kirsten and Tarl around the grounds of Mulberry House for their pictures. A lovely setting with the lake and the bluebells.
During the afternoon we took a mixture of informal pictures and some requested family pictures outside.
The Wedding Breakfast
Later the Wedding Breakfast was held in the Marquee. Spencer Wood was the Magician who entertained everybody during this time. Some great images of everybody enjoying his performance. After the meal, the Speeches followed. Good reactions! Once these were finished the children played outside and we captured the goings on!
Evening Celebrations
Kirsten and Tarl wanted a few pictures of them with Cassie and Ethan at the Wishing Well and around, which we took. Kirsten and Tarl cut their Wedding Cake later and then took to the dance floor for their First Dance.
As there was not a sunset today, we took a few pictures of Kirsten and Tarl on the decking outside with the fairy lights. A nice ending to our coverage of Kirsten and Tarl’s lovely Mulberry House Wedding.
It was a beautiful day for Sophia and Glen’s Wedding photography. Our day started arriving at Orsett Hall where Sophia and her Family were staying.
Sophia was getting ready with her Bridesmaids when we went to see her. Preparations were well under way and the girls were enjoying every minute. As they carried on with their preparations David and I got on with taking the pictures of Sophia’s Wedding Dress and her lovely range of accessories. Once the pictures were taken, Sophia then got into her Wedding Dress, assisted by her Bridesmaids. Sophia looked lovely and before we got on with taking some pictures, her Father came into the room to see her. After taking pictures of all of them, as everyone was ready we had time to go out the front of Orsett Hall for some pictures with the cars. We then left to go to St Mary Magdalene Church at Great Burstead.
St Mary Magdalene Church
Arriving at the Church we went to find Glen and his Groomsmen. When they were all together we took a few pictures of them outside the Church before they greeted the Wedding Guests and went into the Church. The Church looked lovely decorated inside and outside by Jo of Brown’s Blooms and Balloons. Sophia arrived a short time later and after we took a couple of pictures, she then took her Father’s arm and entered the Church. After the Church service the Wedding Guests came out first with their confetti and waited for Sophia and Glen. As they exited the Church they were covered in confetti, some nice pictures. A few family group shots were taken in the grounds and of course a few with Sophia and Glen with their dog!
Sophia and Glen wanted a few pictures of the two of them in the Church and we happy to go back inside and take these before we all left the Church. Prested Hall was the setting for Sophia and Glen’s Wedding Reception.
Prested Hall
Everyone enjoyed the Drinks Reception and during this time we took some informal pictures and a few other requested ones as well. We had a little time to go over to the Gazebo with Sophia and Glen for a few pictures of them before returning to the Guests and getting everyone together for a big ‘everybody’ picture.
The Wedding Breakfast followed and afterwards it was time for the Speeches. Once these were finished Sophia and Glen had a few relaxed pictures taken with their Bridal Party and we took some relaxed evening pictures around Prested Hall of the two of them. Later Sophia and Glen cut their Wedding Cake and took to the dance floor for their First Dance. Evening Guests had joined the party so we took some informal pictures of them during the evening. Later as a surprise for their Guests Sophia and Glen provided Sparklers. The weather, which had been lovely all day, decided not to play ball! Fortunately it was only light rain and Sophia and Glen ended up with some lovely Sparklers pictures. After this event we said our ‘goodbyes’. A wonderful day and a lovely couple!
