Wedding Photography at Layer Marney Tower for Victoria & Paul

Wedding Photography at Layer Marney – It was a beautiful day for Victoria and Paul’s Wedding at Layer Marney Tower. First of all we arrived at where Victoria, her Parents and Deb, her Matron of Honour were getting ready. Everything was going well and Victoria was having the final touches applied to her make-up by her make-up artist Dawn Taylor

Once everybody was ready we went outside and took a few pictures amongst the trees, before leaving to go to Layer Marney Tower, Layer de la Haye. We met Paul together with his Best Man, Richard, and took a couple of pictures before they greeted the Wedding Guests. Victoria arrived shortly afterwards in the Layer Marney Rolls Royce and made her way up to the Corsellis Room. After the Civil Ceremony Victoria and Paul went for a short ride whilst their Guests enjoyed the Drinks Reception and ice creams from the ice cream cart, perfect on a very warm day! We took some lovely pictures of Victoria and Paul when they arrived back from their ride in the car and walked up the path to the Tower which was bathed in sunshine. Layer Marney Tower was open so we took a couple of pictures of the two of them there before they socialised with their Guests. After a little while we got on with the family group pictures and Victoria and Paul’s together pictures around the grounds. Just before the Wedding Breakfast Victoria and Paul were showered with confetti before being announced in for the Wedding Breakfast. After the meal it was time for speeches. It was decided as it was rather warm in the Long Gallery the Speeches were held outside. This made for some different pictures, which added to Victoria and Paul’s Wedding Day. Well done to Richard, the Best Man, for his Speech, all in verse! After a lovely day, a fabulous sunset! This was followed by Victoria and Paul cutting their Wedding Cake before their First Dance. Later as a surprise to their Guests a firework display! A wonderful day!

Braxted Park Wedding Photography for Sarah & Toby

Braxted Park Wedding photography

Braxted Park Wedding photography for the Civil Ceremony and Reception for Sarah and Toby’s Wedding. Sarah and Toby wanted to have an intimate Wedding with their Family and closest friends and we were delighted to photograph their special day for them. When we arrived at Braxted Park we made our way to the Bride’s Changing Room where Sarah, her Mother, Elaine, and her sister Danielle, the Bridesmaid, were in the final stages of getting ready.

David then went to meet Toby and his brother, Ben, who was the Best Man to take a few pictures of them. Once Sarah was ready we took a few portraits of the family and a few Bridal pictures before it was time for the Ceremony. The Guests were seated in the Lantern Room where the Ceremony would take place. We delayed taking the photographs straight after the Ceremony due to a light shower of rain, which enabled Sarah and Toby to enjoy a drink and greet their Guests. After a few minutes it was fine to go outside and start taking the requested group pictures. It was a warm day and the weather held so afterwards we went down to the lake for a few pictures of Sarah and Toby together. Sarah and Toby were soon back with their guests and we arranged the confetti just before it was time for the Speeches followed by the Wedding Breakfast in the Orangery.

Great Hallingbury Manor Wedding Photography for Michelle & Chris

Great Hallingbury Manor Wedding Photography for Michelle & Chris – Michelle and Chris chose the contemporary Great Hallingbury Manor, Bishops Stortford, for their Wedding. Our first port of call when we arrived was where the girls were getting ready in The Bridal Suite. Excitement, laughter, fun, was evident when we saw them with all preparations going well. I stayed with the girls whilst David went off to find the guys, as they arrived. Chris had a few pictures taken with his Watch in front of their Fire Engine, and then some with his Best Men and Ushers. Leaving them to carry out their duties, David then returned to the girls. Michelle and her Bridesmaids were applying the final touches to their preparations and it wasn’t long before we could take a few formal pictures and a couple of bridal portraits of Michelle. With the Guests seated for the Civil Ceremony, it was soon time for Michelle to make the short walk to the Ceremony room, which overlooked the lake. The members of Chris’ Watch provided a Guard of Honour as Michelle and Chris went outside into the sunshine. As their Guests followed them, Michelle and Chris then had a few minutes to spend with them before they were showered in confetti. Some family pictures followed and as time was short we went straight into some fun pictures. Some great natural moments! Giving Michelle and Chris a short breather before a few of their together pictures was the right call as just before the ‘everybody’ shot, and the Wedding Breakfast we took some nice pictures of the two of them. After the Wedding Breakfast, the Speeches began. An unexpected heavy downpour occurred fortunately whilst the Speeches were going on and luckily by the time they finished so had the rain. With the ground drier, we took Michelle and Chris over to the lake for a few pictures. As their Evening Guests arrived, and enjoyed the warm evening air, as the sun went down, Michelle and Chris ended up with some nice evening pictures. Their First Dance was a surprise to the Guests except the Bridal Party. Michelle and Chris started off by themselves for a very very short amount of time then were joined by the Bridal Party for an incredible routine. Well done to all of them! After taking a few pictures of their Evening Guests, it was time for us to go. A long but such a rewarding day!

Wedding Photography The Lawn, Rochford for Vicky and Lee

Wedding Photography The Lawn – Vicky and Lee chose the The Lawn, Rochford, Essex which was a lovely venue for their summer Wedding. On our arrival we made our way upstairs to the Brides Room where there was much excitement. Whilst the girls were getting ready, Lee, the Best Man and the Ushers had arrived, so it was off downstairs to meet them and take a few pictures of them all.

With the girls ready we took their photographs before Vicky’s dad entered the room. Some lovely joyous moments were captured, followed by some more as Amelia, the Flowergirl and George the Pageboy saw Vicky.

After a few photos of Vicky it was time for her to see the Registrars. Vicky then took her father’s arm and went down the stairs to the Ceremony.

Afterwards the happy couple led their Guests outside for the Drinks Reception. The weather was on our side, dry, but overcast, so we were able to get on with the requested group pictures outside. After making sure Vicky and Lee had some time to relax and enjoy some of the afternoon with their Guests, we took a few fun shots of the Bridal Party. This was followed by taking Vicky and Lee for a short walk in the grounds for their together shots with the sun making an appearance.

The Wedding Breakfast took place in The Orangery and was followed by coverage of the Speeches. Finding a little time before the arrival of their evening Guests, we took Vicky and Lee for a few more pictures around The Lawn. Whilst the superb Band www.thelowdownband.com were finishing setting up we took some informal pictures of couples and evening Guests. Soon it was time for Vicky and Lee to cut their Wedding Cake and take to the floor for their First Dance. A little while later it was time for us to say goodbye after a lovely day. It was nice to see Lee’s Parents, Lanna and Dave together with Lee’s brother, Glenn and his wife Kate, whose Wedding we photographed in at Newland Hall, Chelmsford, in 2009. Great also to see many familiar faces too numerous to list!
