Wedding Photography at Fennes for Jennifer & Joe

Our next job was Wedding Photography at Fennes for Jennifer & Joe’s Civil Ceremony in the Autumn last year.

Wedding Preparations

The girls were getting ready upstairs at Fennes when we arrived so after saying ‘hello’ we got on with taking some accessory pictures including Jen’s Wedding Dress.

The guys were downstairs just finishing off their preparations. Once they were ready they went outside for some pictures. Following these pictures, Wedding Guests were arriving so the men went off to greet them.

One of the great things about Fennes is having the all the rooms available. Today as the Guests arrived they made use of them all. The Bridesmaids were dressed and Jennifer was getting into her dress. Some nice moments when the Bridesmaids saw Jen in her Wedding dress.

As the Guests were making their way into the Pavilion for the Ceremony we got on with taking some Bridal portraits of Jen and some pictures with the Bridesmaids. Wedding Ceremony

Fennes Wedding Ceremony

Jen’s Father was waiting at the bottom of the stairs so when the time was right, Jen went downstairs. Nice moments. The Bridesmaids led the way into the Pavilion for the Ceremony.

Following the Ceremony the Guests followed Jen and Joe to the front of Fennes.

As the weather was ok, dry and a little windy, the Guests went outside whilst Jen and Joe had a few minutes to themselves in the Gold Room. This allowed us time arrange the ‘everybody’ group. Everyone was outside so it was decided to get on and take the requested family pictures.

Guests then enjoyed the Drinks Reception whilst we carried on with other pictures around. A little while later we took Jen and Joe onto Fennes Bridge for some pictures followed by a short walk around the grounds.

Before the Wedding Breakfast it was time for ‘bubbles’ in the Gold Room. Everybody enjoyed this with us capturing some nice reaction pictures.

Wedding Breakfast

The Wedding Breakfast took place in the Pavilion and this was followed by the Speeches.

There is generally time after the Wedding Breakfast for some evening pictures and today was no exception. It was dark so we took a few pictures inside Fennes including the ‘heart’ shot.

The Band was setting up in the Fennes Pavilion for the evening’s entertainment as we were doing this. The Evening Guests arrived and joined in the celebrations. After cutting their Wedding Cake, Jen and Joe took to the dance floor for their First Dance.

During the evening we took a few pictures and waited for Jen’s Dad to join the Band for his part. Capturing this and a couple of other bits, we finished our coverage of Jen and Joe’s Wedding. Another good Day of Wedding Photography at Fennes. Congratulations Jen and Joe!

Fennes Wedding Photographers for Lisa & Nathan

We were the Fennes Wedding Photographers for Lisa and Nathan’s Wedding.

Bridal Preparations

Arriving at Fennes we made our way upstairs to see Lisa. Lots of preparations were taking place so it was full on. We took pictures of Lisa’s Wedding Dress and Accessories in the John Dorwood Suite, as there was more room to move around and it was cooler to work in. It was easy to go between the rooms as and when it was necessary.

The Men

Nathan was getting ready at Fennes so David went off to find him and the Groomsmen. Once they were ready they had some pictures taken outside in the grounds.

Once the finishing touches were applied for the make-up and hair the Bridesmaids got changed into their Bridesmaid Dresses. Lisa went to put on her Wedding Dress, assisted by her Mother. Lisa wanted to surprise her Bridesmaids with the ‘big reveal’. We took a few Bridal Portraits of Lisa before we moved back to the Bridal Changing Room. Some nice ‘moment’ pictures when this happened. After taking a few pictures of them it was time to go! Lisa’s Father was waiting at the bottom of the stairs and as usual this made a lovely picture.

Outdoor Ceremony

Once it was time, the Bridesmaids led the way across the grass to the Gazebo. It was a beautiful day, the Gazebo looked lovely, decorated with many flowers and as they all walked out it was a wonderful picture. After the Ceremony, everyone enjoyed the Drinks Reception.

Family Pictures

Lisa and Nathan wanted some family pictures which we did after they had time to socialise with their Guests. Fennes bridge, of course, was used for some of their pictures later on, finishing with a few minutes around the grounds. A greeting line was held before Lisa and Nathan entered the Pavilion for the Wedding Breakfast. The Speeches followed and then Lisa and Nathan cut their Wedding Cake.

Evening Fun

It was such a lovely evening, the outside was popular with many Guests. Lisa and Nathan wanted a few more ‘fun’ pictures and it was the right time to do these. Sunset beckoned a little later. Lisa and Nathan had time to mingle with their Guests after this before their First Dance. It was not long after this we said our ‘goodbyes’. The end to another day being Fennes Wedding Photographers.

Fennes Wedding Photography for Lauren & Matt

Fennes Wedding Photography for Lauren & Matt. It was a beautiful bright sunny day although it was windy.

After arriving at Fennes we went upstairs in the House to see Lauren. Preparations were going well with lots going on.

David went off to find Matt and the Groomsmen who were getting ready here as well. After a few final preparation pictures the boys were ready for some pictures. Outside they went, making the most of a dry day and the different places Fennes has to offer for pictures.

The Wedding Guests were arriving so Matt and the Groomsmen greeted them. Upstairs in the Bridal Room the Bridesmaids were ready to change into their Dresses. Lauren’s turn for final preparations!

The Flowergirls came and had a look at Lauren in her Wedding Dress as soon as she was ready . She looked lovely, her Father came into the room to see her before we got on with taking some Bridal pictures.

Matt had seen the Registrar so the Guests took their seats in the Pavilion for the Ceremony. Lauren saw the Registrar afterwards and then it was time for Lauren to make her way to the Ceremony. The Bridesmaids and Flowergirls went before Lauren into the Pavilion.

Fennes Wedding Ceremony

Following the Ceremony everyone went outside for a group picture before going back inside for the Drinks Reception. Once Lauren and Matt had spent some time socialising with their Guess we continued with the pictures. It was too windy to stay outside for long so we made the most of all the rooms inside at Fennes.

Windy Wedding

Keeping the guests inside was best and no problem at all. During the afternoon we took Lauren and Matt for a stroll around the gardens including going on the Bridge. The Daffodils made a lovely backdrop to Lauren and Matt’s together pictures.

Just before the Wedding Breakfast the Guests threw confetti over the couple in the Gold Room.

The Wedding Breakfast

During the meal everyone was entertained by a Singer. A nice sunset and we managed to take a couple of pictures of this in between the courses of the meal. The Speeches followed, these were very good.

The Evening Party

The Evening Guests arrived a little later and the evening celebrations began. There was a little time for us to take Lauren and Matt for a few evening pictures around Fennes.The bouquet toss and cake cutting followed soon after and then the First Dance.

Once we had a selection of pictures of the evening Guests we then said our goodbyes. It was wonderful Fennes Wedding Photography for Lauren & Matt. Two lovely people.
