Wedding Photographs Fennes – Hannah & Chris

Wedding Photographs Fennes

Hannah and Chris chose the wonderful Wedding Venue Fennes for their Wedding in November last year. Making our way to The Fennes Estate the fog was beginning to lift and we had our fingers crossed it would continue! Hannah, her Bridesmaids and Parents were getting ready at Fennes and when we arrived all preparations were running smoothly. There was a lovely relaxed feel to the day and when everyone was ready we went into the Gold Room. After a few pictures we left to go to St Mary’s Church, Bocking for the church service. We met with Chris, his Best Man and Ushers and found a little time to take some pictures of them before they resumed their duties. It wasn’t long before Hannah arrived and escorted by her Father and Bridesmaids, she made her way up the path to the church. Perfect time for the sun to come out. After the church service everybody made their way outside for a few requested pictures. We only took a few pictures outside the door as the sun was now proving to be a menace! The Guests then made their way back down the path to the gate and waited for Hannah and Chris to throw confetti over them. We made our way back to Fennes with Hannah and Chris, but ahead of the Guests. With the splendid Autumn colours around we wanted to take Hannah and Chris for a few minutes for their pictures on the bridge and around the grounds. It worked wonderfully well! Hannah and Chris then joined the Wedding Guests for the Drinks Reception. Some fun Bridal Party pictures were taken a little later on in between taking a few informal images of the Guests. As we were outside the mist started to come down and added an extra feel to the day. The Wedding Breakfast took place in the Pavilion and this was followed by the Speeches. Liking the Speeches as we do we were happy to be spoilt for choice with pictures. Later, waiting for the Evening Guests to arrive and the evening celebrations to start, we took a few evening pictures of Hannah and Chris. Coverage of the First Dance was followed by some sparkler shots before it was time for us to leave. Hannah and Chris, you are a lovely couple and were great to work with, a thoroughly enjoyable day!

Essex Barn Wedding Photography – Sarah & Rob

Essex Barn Wedding Photography – The White Hart, Great Yeldham

The Essex Barn at The White Hart, Great Yeldham – It was a lovely day for the Wedding of Sarah and Rob in October last year. Arriving at Sarah’s Parents’ house on the morning of the Wedding, Sarah’s Father greeted us as Sarah was at the Hairdressers. It wasn’t long before Sarah appeared with her Bridesmaids and her Mum. Whilst taking pictures of the details and accessories, the Champagne was opened and sipped for a few minutes before the girls finished their final preparations. Once everybody was ready we took a few pictures before leaving to go to St Peter’s Church, Coggeshall. We met with Rob and his Groomsmen at the gate and took a few pictures there before walking up the path to the Church. This beautiful Church provides a wonderful backdrop and we made use of it for their pictures outside in the sunshine. Sarah arrived a little while later in a Lodges’ coach. Accompanied by her Bridesmaids, Sarah made her way up the path to the Church. After a few words with the Vicar, Sarah took her Father’s arm and made her entrance into the Church. During the service the local school choir sung for Sarah and Rob and performed very well. After the service, the Wedding Guests followed Sarah and Rob out of the Church for some requested family pictures. With these achieved, Sarah and Rob then made their way down the path to the gate where they were showered in confetti. They then left the Church by coach with some of their Guests for the Reception. Sarah and Rob’s chosen Venue for the Reception was The White Hart, Great Yeldham. As the Guests arrived they made their way indoors for the Drinks Reception whilst we took a couple of pictures of Sarah and Rob in front of The White Hart. This was swiftly followed by a short walk around the grounds for their pictures before Sarah and Rob joined their Guests. We managed to capture some informal moments inside and outside together with some fun Bridal Party pictures. The Wedding Breakfast was held in the Essex Barn, so once everybody was seated and the Champagne poured, the Speeches started and the meal followed. Although there was not a sunset later, we took a few evening pictures of Sarah and Rob outside. The evening celebrations started with Sarah and Rob’s First Dance together before their Guests joined them on the dance floor. It was nice to see so many people on the dance floor so quickly and putting on a brilliant display! Thank you Mel and Dave for recommending us to Sarah and Rob. A lovely day!

Colchester Engagement Pictures – Jade and Andrew

Colchester Engagement Pictures

We met Jade and Andrew one afternoon in the Autumn last year for their Engagement pictures at Highwoods Country Park, Colchester. It was nice to meet them again, and talk as we walked around the woods. As well as taking the pictures we chatted about their forthcoming Wedding at Woodhall Manor, Suffolk in the Spring this year. The Engagement session is always a great way to get to know our clients ahead of the big day! Quite often we’ll use the opportunity to go to an area we have not previously been to or try a new piece of equipment or technique.

Wedding Photography Hintlesham Hall for Donna & Sam

Wedding Photography Hintlesham

Hintlesham Hall Wedding – Donna and Sam booked us for their Wedding way back in 2013! It was well worth the wait! They had in fact booked their venue AFTER talking to us and looking through our samples. It was a glorious Autumn day upon our arrival at the stunning Hintlesham Hall. There was plenty of time to capture the ‘getting ready’ pictures of Donna and the girls in the wonderful Braganza Suite and all preparations were going well. Away from the girls, Sam was doing his last minute finishing with his Best Men and Ushers.

Whilst I stayed with the girls, David went off to join the men. Sam’s pictures were taken outside as the beautiful weather allowed us to. Sam then joined the Wedding Guests who had started to arrive and after capturing a few informal pictures David returned to the girls in the Braganza Suite. By this time Donna was ready, looking absolutely fabulous! After a few pictures in the room we went to the back stairs for a few more before it was time for Donna to see the Registrars. The Bridesmaids, Paige the Flowergirl and Tyler the Pageboy waited in the Long Gallery waiting for Donna to join them. The Civil Ceremony was held in The Salon and when it was time Donna took her Father’s arm and walked into the room. Following the Ceremony everybody went into the Garden Room for the Drinks Reception. Being such a lovely day everyone went outside and socialised. After a little while we got on with taking the requested family photos. Leaving the Guests for a few minutes we took Donna, Sam and the Bridal Party to the front of Hintelsham Hall for a few pictures. Some lovely pictures with a splendid backdrop! The Bridal Party returned to join the rest of the Guests allowing us a little time alone with Donna and Sam for their pictures. Spoilt for choice, a whirlwind tour of the grounds resulted in some lovely pictures of the two of them. With time for Donna and Sam to enjoy the rest of their Drinks Reception we left them to it whilst we caught up on a few informal pictures. Just before the Wedding Breakfast Donna and Sam were showered in confetti. The Speeches followed the Wedding Breakfast and Donna and Sam cut their Wedding Cake before exiting the room for the Band to set up. Waiting for the evening celebrations to begin we took Donna and Sam outside for some night shots. A little while after Donna and Sam’s First Dance we took our leave. Thank you Donna and Sam for choosing us to photograph your Wedding, it was a pleasure and you were brilliant! Thank you to Claire whose Wedding we photographed at Fennes in 2012 and recommended us and nice to see some familiar faces at this Wedding as well.

Reid Rooms Wedding Photography for Sarah & Chris

Reid Rooms Wedding Photography

The Reid Rooms in the Essex countryside was Sarah & Chris’ choice of Wedding Venue for their Civil Ceremony and Wedding Reception. It was a lovely Autumn day with the weather just right. Sarah arrived at The Farmhouse at the Reid Rooms with her hair and make-up done. Once Sarah, her Parents, Bridesmaids and Flowergirl were in and all sorted they got changed. Whilst this was going on David went off to find Chris and his Best Man, Matt, to take a few pictures. When Sarah was ready we took a few bridal portraits of her before she went down the stairs to where her Father was waiting for her.

After capturing the moment we went into the Lounge to take a few pictures family pictures. As this was happening, Chris was making his way into the Ceremony Room together with the Guests. It was then Sarah’s turn to make her way to the Ceremony. so taking her Father’s arm off they walked. With the formalities of the Wedding Ceremony completed the Guests followed Sarah and Chris out into the Courtyard. Enjoying the relaxed atmosphere of this Wedding Venue, Sarah and Chris had time to socialise with their Guests allowing us to capture the informal moments. After the family pictures and fun Bridal pictures, it was time for us to take Sarah and Chris for a mini tour around the Reid Rooms grounds. Pleased with our photos we returned in no time at all ready for the confetti pictures. After the Wedding Breakfast we covered the Speeches. Loving our sunset shots as we do, we had to be ready to take these soon after the Speeches finished! Once the Evening Guests had arrived it was time for the First Dance to take place. Finishing our coverage of Sarah and Chris’ Wedding Day we took a couple of pictures of them outside. A lovely day of Reid Rooms Wedding Photograph, thank you Sarah and Chris, it was great working with you.

Wedding Photography Spains Hall for Vicki & Jonathan

Wedding Photography Spains Hall for Vicki & Jonathan

Vicki and Jonathan booked us for their Spains Hall wedding photography for their big day in the early Autumn last year. On the morning of the Wedding we arrived at Spains Hall and met Vicki and the Girls in Crest Lodge. Preparations were well in hand, although Vicki was going to get dressed over at the Hall in the Tapestry Room. With the Bridesmaids and Flowergirls dressed we all walked over to the Hall. Whilst the girls finished their preparations I finished off taking pictures of the details and accessories. Meanwhile, David met up with Jonathan and his Best Man, and got on with taking a few pictures of them in the Stables before they walked over to the Hall.

Once Vicki was ready, her Father joined us upstairs for a few traditional portraits before it was time for the Wedding Ceremony. The Wedding Guests took their seats in the Elizabethan Hall ready for the entrance of Vicki accompanied by her Dad. After the Ceremony, Vicki and Jonathan had a few minutes to themselves before walking back through the Elizabethan Hall to go outside. Their Guests were waiting for them and as they walked out into the sunshine, the Guests covered them with confetti. Whilst everybody was in one place outside we decided to take the ‘everybody’ picture before they then walked around to the gardens of Spains Hall for the Drinks Reception. During the afternoon we took a few family pictures together with a few pictures of Vicki and Jonathan. When it was time for the Wedding Breakfast the Guests made their way over to the Stables and Coach House giving us some extra time with Vicki and Jonathan. After the Wedding Breakfast and the Speeches everyone enjoyed socialising on the terrace or walking around the grounds. It was a lovely evening and we managed to get a little time with Vicki and Jonathan, before the arrival of the evening Guests, for some extra pictures, which included a wonderful sunset! Just before the cutting of the Wedding Cake Vicki tossed her bouquet and then Vicki and Jonathan took to the dance floor for the First Dance. After capturing a flavour of the evening celebrations it was time for us to say goodbye.
