Wedding Photography Crabbs Barn for Katie & Stephen
Wedding Photography Crabbs Barn – The weather was glorious for Katie and Stephen’s late afternoon Wedding photography at Crabbs Barn, Kelvedon. Stephen arrived at Crabbs Barn with his Best Man and Ushers and we were able to take a few pictures of them as well as getting some informal pictures of the Guests as they arrived. Katie arrived shortly afterwards together with the Bridesmaids and Flowergirls and we were able to take a few pictures of them all before the Ceremony. After seeing the Registrars, it was time for Katie to make her way into the Barn. The couple and their guests enjoyed the Drinks Reception for a while before we got on with a few family group pictures.
A few pictures of Katie and Stephen together were taken around the superb grounds of Crabbs Barn and when we came back we took a few pictures of Katie and Stephen’s twin daughters.
This was followed by the Speeches in the Pavilion before the meal. Katie and Stephen then cut their Wedding Cake prior to the First Dance. As the weather was nice some of the Wedding Guests stayed outside while others joined them on the dancfloor for the dancing. Our coverage of Katie and Stephen’s Wedding finished with a couple of evening pictures.

Crabbs Barn wedding photography for Hannah & Craig
Crabbs Barn Wedding Photography – It was a rather humid day to start with for Hannah and Craig’s Wedding but the almighty downpour before Hannah arrived at Crabbs Barn made way for cooler air and sunshine. Hannah had her hair and make up done at home so just leaving a few final bridal preparations to do at Crabbs Barn. Hannah’s Wedding Dress and accessories were laid out in the Bridal Room and whilst these were being photographed, the girls were excitedly getting ready. When Craig arrived at Crabbs Barn, he just needed to put on his cravat and jacket before he was ready with his Best Man and Usher for a few pictures in the grounds – Hannah being well out of sight! It wasn’t long before Hannah, her Mum and Dad, Bridesmaids, Frankie, Julia and Catherine were all ready for their pictures. They stepped outside as it was such a lovely day and we had time to take some nice images. Paul from Crabbs Barn arrived shortly afterwards to take them on the short walk to the front of the barn.
Craig was safely tucked away inside the Barn waiting for Hannah to take her Dad’s arm and walk into the Ceremony. Following the Ceremony, Hannah and Craig socialised with their Guests during the Drinks Reception ouside enjoying the sunshine.
After a little while it was time to get on with some family group pictures and fun bridal party shots. With these over with swiftly, Hannah and Craig had a short break before it was time time to take Hannah and Craig for their together pictures around the grounds.
Hannah and Craig were then showered in petals before the Wedding Breakfast commenced. The Speeches followed the Wedding Breakfast and we captured some great moments, especially with the Best Man’s Speech! Afterwards everybody relaxed outside and the evening Guests started to arrive. This was the best time to escape for a few minutes with Hannah for a few extra pictures using the evening light. After the cake cutting, it was time for Hannah and Craig’s First Dance. What a fabulous First Dance! Then to cap a memorable day for such a happy couple, a beautiful sunset!

Wedding Photographer The Fennes, Bocking, for Lauren & Terry
The Fennes Estate was the chosen Wedding Venue for Lauren and Terry’s Wedding. This lovely Venue is a joy to work at and fantastic for a wedding photographer! An early start was required for Lauren and her Bridesmaids with lots of preparations going on. When we arrived we just followed the sound of laughter and excitement which led us upstairs into the Bridal Room. In between taking the details and accessory pictures, we captured some lovely informal moments of the preparations. At the same time we were keeping our ears open for the sound of a McLaren Sports Car which had been a surprise for Terry, he was being picked up and driven to Fennes by his Best Man. We wanted to make sure we were in the right place so we did not miss the big arrival. Once Terry with his Best Man and Ushers were all there, they quickly finished their preparations in the Library before any of the Guests arrived and we took a few portraits.
Back upstairs the girls were almost ready. Lauren, six Bridesmaids and family members, and ourselves all moved to The Fennes Suite where there was more room for the finishing off and pictures. As usual, the time was rapidly disappearing so we had to work quickly to get the pictures needed for Laura’s Storybook album. Lauren’s Dad was waiting at the bottom of the stairs and greeted her before she saw the Registrars.
Once the Guests were seated in the Pavilion, Lauren and her Bridesmaids made their entrance looking beautiful. Everybody enjoyed the Drinks Reception outside whilst we arranged the requested family pictures. Trying to keep the wonderful relaxed atmosphere going we took some fun pictures of the Bridal Party and some car shots. Leaving their Guests temporarily for a few minutes to take Lauren and Terry for their bridge shots resulted in some nice images.
After the confetti shots it was time for the Speeches prior to the Wedding Breakfast in the delightfully decorated Pavilion. Lauren and Terry wanted some pictures in the Red Room and Gold Room together with other evening pictures. To make the most of their Venue in the pictures we took these in the relaxed time after the meal.
Going here, there and everywhere capturing images of the day, kept us busy!
Following the First Dance and some informal pictures of the evening Guests it was time for us to say goodbye. A superb day! A couple of notes we must add, it is always great to work with David of Rideout Films as we keep each other informed of what is happening that either of us could miss, and thanks to the staff at Fennes for making us welcome as usual.

Photographers Atlantica Sensatori Resort Crete
Photographers Atlantica Sensatori Resort Crete – Our first Destination Wedding Abroad!! Fantastic! We have previously had to turn down several Weddings abroad due to us being already booked, so we delighted that we were able to do this one! Danielle had seen us a couple of times at Wedding Venue Open Days, when she was going along the lines of having her Wedding in the UK. Deciding to have her Wedding in Crete in Greece and after a few conversations with us, she booked! We were delighted! Danielle and Jon chose the superb Atlantica Caldera Palace Sensatori Resort in Crete for their Wedding.
We arrived a couple of days before the Wedding to familiarise ourselves with the surroundings and met with Danielle and Jon to finalise their requirements. The Wedding day was warm but overcast rather than the perfect sunny weather we were all expecting. I covered the Bride’s preparations, whilst David photographed Jon’s preparations and his side of the family on the opposite side of the Resort. David then returned so we could work together for the Bridal Portraits.
Once these were completed and Jon had made his way to the Ceremony, Danielle followed escorted by her Dad and Bridesmaids. The Ceremony took place under a canopy at the on site Chapel. After the Ceremony we took a few requested family pictures, before everybody left for the Reception drinks and canapes. It wasn’t long before Danielle and Jon wanted to do some of their pictures and being spoilt for choice as to where to go we picked a few and off we went.
Shortly we returned to the Reception for the cutting of the Wedding cake and captured some relaxed images of their Guests. The sun came out and to make the most of it the Bridesmaids, Emily, Kayleigh, Hayley, Danielle, Jon and ourselves crossed over the road to Lyttos Beach. What a fun time we had!
On our return and after an impromptu ‘everybody’ picture, it was time for the Wedding Breakfast. During the Wedding Breakfast and the Speeches as well as taking pictures David and I enjoyed being a part of their special day even providing unplanned children’s entertainment for Danielle and Jon’s daughter Ava and their nephew Caleb, blowing bubbles, sticker sticking….! Our fingers were crossed for a sunset and we were not disappointed. A sunset shot seems very popular with most of our couples and Danielle and Jon were no exception. Back to the beach again and what brilliant results! After a very few minutes the couple returned to their Guests for their First Dance and confetti canons as everybody joined them on the dance floor. Our job was not finished yet as Sensatori Resort looked wonderful at night and to finish the picture coverage we suggested some pictures by the illuminated pools.
Then it was time to party, and we certainly did! Danielle and Jon, you are a lovely couple, thank you so very much for making us so welcome at your Wedding, being so easy and co-operative and above all wanting to do these pictures! Thank you to their Guests as well, what a lovely family. A fantastic Wedding we really enjoyed being Photographers Atlantica Sensatori Resort, Crete!
