     Layer Marney Tower Wedding Photography  for Tara & Jordan

    Tara and Jordan’s Layer Marney Tower Wedding Photography included a visit to St Mary’s Church, Layer Marney.

    Our first port of call on the morning of the Wedding was at Tara and Jordan’s house.   Tara, her Mother and Bridesmaids were getting ready. When we arrived hair and and make up was going on so after capturing a few shots of this happening we went upstairs to photograph Tara’s dress, shoes etc.

    Once Tara was ready we took a couple of pictures of her before she walked downstairs to where the Bridesmaids were waiting for her. After a few pictures  outside we  left  to go to the church.

    At the Church

    Tara and Jordan’s ceremony was to be in the lovely St Mary the Virgin Church in Layer Marney. Jordan and his Groomsmen were carrying out their duties when we arrived so in between we took their pictures. Layer Marney Recommended Wedding PhotographerWe captured a few documentary guest arrival pictures before Tara arrived.

    Tara was escorted by her Mother and they walked up the path and into the Church. After exchanging vows Tara and Jordan signed the Register. It was nice to capture some informal pictures during this time.

    After all the formalities and the end of the service, Tara and Jordan exited the Church. Their Guests had lined the path and as Tara and Jordan came down the path they were showered in confetti. Layer Marney Tower Wedding Photography

    Essex Barn Wedding Photography for Vicky & Rob

    Vicky and Rob’s summer Essex Barn Wedding was held at the popular Venue, Crabbs Barn, Kelvedon, last year.

    It was a beautiful day for their Wedding from start to finish. We were there when Vicky arrived. Vicky arrived at Crabbs Barn with her daughter , Maddison, her Parents and Bridesmaids.

    Vicky was partially prepared for her Wedding, the Hairdresser had her hair done at home. The Bridesmaids were semi prepared as well therefore there was not as many things to do. After meeting with Vicky, taking a few pictures, David went to the Barn to await the arrival of Rob. I stayed with the girls. As well as taking a few preparation pictures I kept Maddison, Vicky and Rob’s daughter, occupied and happy. The girls carried on with getting ready.

    Rob and his Groomsmen had some pictures taken by the Barn entrance. Once these were completed they went off to resume their duties.Barn Wedding Photographer EssexVicky was soon ready and she looked lovely. After Dad had seen her for the first time in her Wedding dress we got on with taking some pictures. These went well, even though time was getting short. Time for the Outdoor Ceremony. Off everyone went to the Barn and from there out into the Garden. Vicky then walked to the Gazebo for the Ceremony. After the Ceremony Vicky and Rob together with Maddison led the way into the garden for the Drinks Reception.
