Karla and Richard chose the Suffolk Wedding Venue, Yaxley Hall for their Autumn Wedding. Our day started early being in plenty of time to capture all the happenings of the day. Whilst the girls were getting ready upstairs in the Bridal Room, the boys were downstairs relaxing and having a few pictures taken. Once the girls were dressed and their photographs taken, it was time for the Civil Ceremony. 
Karla, with her Uncle at her side, made her entrance into the Ceremony room to a song performed by the London Gospel Choir. After the Ceremony, Karla and Richard exited the House to be covered in confetti before a few quick family shots and the Drinks reception. With the lovely setting of Yaxley Hall and the late Autumn colours we managed to take the Bride and Groom portraits in a very short amount of time by staying close to the house.
Karla and Richard chose to celebrate their Wedding in the afternoon with a small number of close family and friends and we were able to take some lovely photographs of these guests after the meal and during the Speeches. There was a lovley relaxed break before the Evening Guests arrived, Karla, Richard and ourselves took the opportunity of using the beautiful inside of this Country House for a few stylish pictures. Blue Rhondo Jazz commenced the evening celebrations, in the Marquee, followed by cake cutting and First Dance. 
The Soprano Bella Singing, a surprise act , was excellent. As Karla and Richard departed in the VW camper van, we were not very far behind them! It was a lovely day and it was nice to see Emily and Claire again, after photographing their Weddings a few year ago.

Wedding Photography for Carrie-Anne & Adam – Parklands, Quendon Hall
It was a mild sunny late Autumn day when we arrived at Parklands for the Wedding of Carrie-Anne and Adam. With plenty going on, Carrie-Anne, the Bridesmaids, the flower girls all getting ready, there was much to photograph. Adam had some pictures taken when he was ready before greeting the Guests as they were arriving.
Following the Civil Ceremony, Carrie-Anne and Adam made their way outside towards the fountain which made a beautiful backdrop to some pictures. Canapes and Drinks were enjoyed by everybody, whilst some group pictures were taken. Later, making the most of the wonderful weather and grounds we took Carrie-Anne and Adam for a walk around Parklands, ending with some lovely Bride and Groom together shots down the drive to Parklands.
After the Wedding Breakfast and Speeches, Carrie-Anne and Adam asked for some pictures of the two of them at the Parklands Bridal Cottage. Thanks to Vince of Parklands acting as Chaffeur this happened and with not keeping them from their Guests for too long.
The Evening Guests arrived before the First Dance and a short time afterwards we took our leave.As ever it was a pleasure to work with David from Rideout Productions who did the filming.

Wedding Photography for Pam & Dan – The Fennes, Bocking
Pam and Dan chose the lovely Fennes Estate for their Wedding in the Autumn last year. Both of them were getting ready at Fennes so we were able to capture a range of different pictures before the Civil Ceremony. Following the Ceremony in the Pavilion, Pam and Dan made their way to the front of Fennes for the release of doves.
With their Guests watching indoors as it was raining and after capturing a few photographs Pam and Dan enjoyed time socialising with their Guests during the Drinks Reception. A few requested family group pictures were taken in the Gold Room and a short time afterwards, with the rain easing off, we ventured outside with Pam and Dan. Using the Gazebo as it was dry made for some nice pictures and on our way back to the House, with the weather improved, the Bridal Party joined us for some fun, relaxed pictures outside the House.
Later the Wedding Breakfast commenced followed by the Speeches. Pam had proposed to Dan onthe 29th February and hearing the story made for some good pictures in the Speeches. Whilst their Evening Guests were arriving we took a couple of pictures of the two of them inside Fennes before their First Dance.

Wedding Photography for Sarah & Mark – St Peter & St Paul Church, Black Notley & Fennes
Our day started at Sarah and Mark’s house where Sarah, her Mum, and Sarah & Mark’s daughter, Kiera were getting ready. The day was running smoothly and it was not long before Sarah was ready for some photographs, to be joined shortly by her Mum and Kiera. After taking a few pictures of all of them we left to go to St. Peter & St. Paul Church, Black Notley. Mark was there with their son, Fraser, so we took some portraits of them before Sarah arrived. Following the church service and a few family group shots and confetti in the grounds, Fennes was our next stop.
Fennes looked beautiful as always and the Autumn colours added to the setting. Whilst the Guests were arriving, we took Sarah and Mark for a short walk around Fennes for some of their pictures. 
Later, when all Guests had arrived we took the remainder of their requested pictures as well as some informal ones. The Receiving Line preceded the Wedding Breakfast and Speeches. Before Sarah and Mark’s evening Guests arrived Sarah and Mark asked for a few pictures taken in the rooms in Fennes which we were delighted to do. Sarah tossed her Bouquet to her friends, prior to the cake cutting and First Dance. Shortly afterwards it was time for us to leave everybody to enjoy the rest of the evening.

Wedding Photography for Diane & Ken – Crabbs Barn, Kelvedon
It was a busy morning for Diane at her Parents’ house getting ready for her special day. After taking a few pictures of preparations, and as we had a journey to get to Crabbs Barn, it was decided to catch up on some of the pictures later on. The rain clouds were holding off as we arrived at Crabbs Barn allowing us to get some pictures of Ken and his Dad, who was Best Man. After the Civil Ceremony, we quickly took a few pictures of Diane and Ken and their son Oliver with the car, outside Crabbs Barn, which Oliver thoroughly enjoyed!
During the Drinks Reception,with the Guests enjoying the sunshine and the children playing with the garden games, we took a few family group pictures, together with those we did not have time to do earlier. Making sure Diane and Ken had some social time we were able to steal them away for a few minutes for their portraits around Crabbs Barn before the Wedding Breakfast.
The time of the sunset was during the wedding breakfast but thanks goes to Paul, the Manager at Crabbs Barn for adjusting the timings of the courses so Diane and Ken could have the pictures they wanted.
After capturing some of the evening celebrations and guests we ended our day .
