Wedding Photography All Manor of Events, Henley, for Stacie and Brett

Wedding Photography All Manor of Events, Henley, for Stacie and Brett – Stacie’s sister’s house was where David and I arrived early on the morning of Stacie and Brett’s Wedding Day. Stacie was in the latter stages of having her hair and make-up finished, allowing us time to photograph her accessories and capturing moments of the preparations. Once everybody was ready we took a few portraits of them all before departing for the Church. The service was held at St Peter’s Church, Thurston, and that is where we met up with Brett and his Groomsmen. Brett’s pictures were taken outside the Church before all of the Guests arrived, as it was a dry bright day. Shortly afterwards Stacie arrived and she walked down the aisle on her Brother’s arm. Some traditional family group pictures were taken outside the church after the Service and then Stacie and Brett were showered in confetti as they walked down the path, to their waiting car to go to their Reception. All Manor of Events, Henley was the chosen WeddingVenue for Stacie and Brett’s Wedding Reception and was a new Venue for us. After taking a couple of pictures with Stacie and Brett beside the car, they went inside Manor Farm Barn with their Guests for the Drinks Reception. A little while later we took Stacie and Brett for a walk around the grounds, achieving some lovely pictures down the driveway amongst the daffodils. After Stacie and Brett had a little more time socialising we then took them and the Bridal Party into the Courtyard for some fun pictures before the Wedding Breakfast. After the Wedding Breakfast and Speeches Stacie and Brett were happy to have a few more pictures in the time available, finishing in a sunset picture before the First Dance. With a superb dance floor in the Barn, Stacie and Brett had their First Dance before their Guests joined them. A couple of night pictures ended our coverage of a lovely day. All Manor of Events is a lovely Venue and we really must thank Zoe, front of house, for making us welcome and looking after us, it was much appreciated.

Fennes Wedding Photography – Leanne & Darren

Fennes Wedding Photography – Leanne and Darren chose the popular and superb venue Fennes for their Wedding. We arrived at The Fennes Estate in plenty of time to capture the girls getting ready and the boys’ preparations. The Fennes Suite provided space for the majority of Leanne’s accessories to be photographed whilst the girls finished getting ready in the Bridal Room. Once Leanne was ready we took a few portraits of her, followed by some pictures with the Bridesmaids and Parents. Leanne then made her way down the stairs to be greeted by her Dad and met the Registrars. The Bridesmaids, Nicola and Vicki, the Bridesmaids with Sophia, the Flowergirl and Owen, the Pageboy, all waited in the Blue Room and we captured some nice informal pictures. Leanne entered the Pavilion for the Civil Ceremony to begin. It had been raining from the very start of the day and the forecast was not good so when the Ceremony finished, Leanne and Darren led their Guests to the front of the house for the Drinks Reception. One of the great features of Fennes for wedding photography is that we can get our job done whatever the weather! The Gold Room made a nice setting for the group pictures and after a few minutes they were complete. Fennes “Bridge” shot is a ‘must have’ and with Leanne and Darren really wanting this, off we went with brollies and wellies on! Brilliant results! A couple of pictures upstairs in Fennes were followed by confetti shots in the Gold Room, before the Wedding Breakfast. After the Speeches, having a little time before the evening celebrations, we found some other spots for Leanne and Darren’s pictures. Evening Guests arrived and with some informal pictures taken, it was soon time for the cake cutting and First Dance. Ending Leanne and Darren’s Wedding Day we did them a nightime picture to finish our coverage. A lovely couple and an amazing day! An extra special ‘thank you’ to Leanne and Darren for wanting their pictures and for their smiles all day long which helped our job, on what could have been a difficult day!

Gaynes Park Wedding Photography for Colinda & Nigel

Gaynes Park, Epping, was the chosen Wedding Venue for Colinda and Nigel’s Wedding Day. Gaynes Park, looked wonderful in the brilliant sunshine as we arrived on the morning of the Wedding. The Apple Loft Cottage was where Colinda and her family and Bridesmaids were getting ready. Preparations were going well especially as Colinda and her Parents had been at Gaynes Park most of the morning dressing the Venue with flowers, Colinda is a florist. Meanwhile Nigel and his Groomsmen were having a few pictures taken in the Gather Barn before many of the Guests arrived. After taking a few accessory and getting ready pictures of the girls, there was just enough time to take a few formal pictures before it was time for the Civil Ceremony. Colinda on her father’s arm made the walk through the gates of the walled garden and into the Orangery for the Ceremony. Afterwards Colinda and Nigel led their Guests outside for the Drinks Reception. A little while later we took the family group pictures and a few pictures of Colinda and Nigel in the walled garden. With all the guests enjoying the wonderful weather we captured some relaxed pictures during the afternoon. As everybody made their way over to the Gaynes Park Mill Barn for the Wedding Breakfast, it was a good opportunity for the group picture of the whole party and for confetti to be thrown over Colinda and Nigel. The barn looked fabulous as the Wedding Guests entered the Barn and we made the most of some extra time with the Bride and Groom. Speeches were after the Wedding Breakfast and later on we took Colinda and Nigel for a few minutes for some pictures under the Pergola as it was illuminated. Part of Nigel’s job is hiring dance floors which he of course did for this wedding and it looked superb. After Colinda and Nigel’s First Dance, everybody took to the floor for the dancing. Happy with our pictures, a little while late we took our leave. A lovely day!

Wedding Photography Kelvedon, Essex for Sophie & Jamie

Wedding Photography Kelvedon – Sophie and Jamie’s Church Wedding was at St Mary the Virgin Church, Kelvedon and then back to Sophie’s Parents’ home nearby. Our day started early afternoon at Sophie’s Parents’ home where preparations were taking place. Everything was running smoothly and after capturing the getting ready pictures together with all the accessories it was time for a few family pictures. We left soon after to go to the Church where we met Jamie and his Groomsmen. With the rain holding off for the moment we managed to take their pictures outside. Keeping our fingers crossed Sophie would arrive in the dry (it worked!), it wasn’t long before the Church service began. Being a late afternoon Wedding in December and with the light rapidly going, when Sophie and Jamie came out of the Church, we didn’t delay getting back to the Reception. Once back at Sophie’s Parents’ house, Sophie and Jamie escaped inside while the Wedding Guests were ushered into the Marquee in the grounds. By this time the heavens had opened! Leaving Sophie and Jamie for some time alone, a short time later we joined them to take some pictures of them together. A surprise firework display happened at the same time in the grounds which made for some good reaction pictures. Once everybody had arrived, Sophie and Jamie made their entrance into the Marquee and enjoyed the Drinks Reception. As the weather was definitely not on our side, requested group pictures were taken in the Marquee. Later before the Wedding Breakfast, Sophie’s brother Ben made a Speech which did not leave many dry eyes by the end! Following the Wedding Breakfast, we covered the rest of the Speeches before the evening celebrations. Sophie and Jamie wanted to have some pictures taken using the backdrop of an old ruins of Felix Hall in the grounds, which had been lit up especially for their Wedding. Despite the awful weather, armed with umbrellas and something to stand on, off we went! Pleased with the results we returned to the evening Reception. With the Band set up it was soon time for Sophie and Jamie’s First Dance. After a finishing picture we left them all to dance the night away. A lovely day!
