Tara and Matt chose The Fennes Estate, for their Wedding. Tara and Matt were both getting ready in the Georgian House for their Civil Ceremony, which was being held outside in the Gazebo. After saying a quick ‘hello’ to Tara, David went to find the men to take some final preparation pictures, whilst I stayed with Tara and her Bridesmaids, capturing their preparations. Tara and Matt really wanted an outside Ceremony and as the Guests arrived and made their way to the Gazebo, fingers were being crossed regarding the weather! Following a few pictures of Matt, then Tara, everything was ready . Tara and her Bridesmaids made a lovely picture exiting the House towards the Gazebo. After the Ceremony, Tara and Matt made their way back to the House when the first drops of rain began to fall! We captured some lovely natural moments of Tara, Matt and their Guests in the Reception rooms whilst waiting for the heavy shower to pass. Fortunately it did, the sun came out, and everyone went outside for a few family photographs. We had a good time doing some fun relaxed pictures as well, before the Wedding Breakfast. The brilliant Irie J sang during the meal and for the First Dance, it was great to catch up with him again.

Wedding Photography – Rachel & Ben at Layer Marney Tower
Rachel & Ben’s choice of Venue for their Wedding was Layer Marney Tower, Essex. Rachel and her Bridesmaids were getting ready at her Parents’ house which is where our day started. Preparations were well underway when we arrived. As it was raining outside we took some nice pictures inside, before leaving for Layer Marney. Ben, being in the Paras, naturally looked very smart, was greeting Guests when we arrived so in between times we managed to take a few pictures of him before the Ceremony. As it was still raining after the Ceremony we took the family groups outside the Corsellis Room before Rachel and Ben went for a ride in the Layer Marney car and the Guests went for the Drinks Reception. When Rachel and Ben returned we took them into the tower for a short while for a few portraits. A break in the weather prior to the Wedding Breakfast allowed everyone to get outside for a few shots. We took some fun, informal photos outside in the early evening before the First Dance.

Wedding Photography for Sue & Mark at Prested Hall, Feering
Sue and Mark’s oudoor Wedding Ceremony was changed at the very last minute due to a most inconvenient rain shower, after which the day was warm and dry. The grounds at Prested Hall made a lovely backdrop for Sue and Mark’s Wedding pictures of themselves and their families. Mark’s speech at the Wedding Breakfast was impressive as he managed to introduce everyone in the room which allowed us to capture some lovely moments. After the First Dance we took a couple of pictures of Sue and Mark beside the moat to finish our day. Video was by Martin Kershaw

Wedding Photography for Claire & Tom at Prested Hall, Feering
Claire and Tom chose Prested Hall, Feering, for their Civil Ceremony and Reception. Claire and her Bridesmaids were getting ready for the Ceremony when we arrived at Prested Hall, so after taking a few pictures we went to find Tom and his Best Man. A few pictures of their final preparations were taken together with pictures of Guests arriving. Other than a shower occurring whilst the Ceremony was taking place, the weather stayed fine and we were able to go outside and take the requested photographs. After Claire and Tom had time to socialise with their Guests we took them for a walk around Prested Hall for their pictures, before the Wedding Breakfast. Speeches followed and a while later the evening celebrations began, our coverage ending with the First Dance.

Wedding Photography for Cathy & Matt at Creeksea Place, Creeksea
Cathy’s bridal preparations were taking place at Five Lakes Golf and Country Club, so this is where David and I joined the girls at the beginning of Cathy and Matt’s Wedding Day. Lots of activity was taking place, so there were plenty of images to capture before leaving for the journey to Creeksea Place for the Civil Ceremony and Reception. Unfortunately, the weather was not as we would all have liked so the use of umbrellas was used to the maximum when we got to Creeksea. Saying that, we captured some lovely images of the everyone making their way to the outdoor Ceremony. After the Ceremony as it was still raining we were able to go into the House with Cathy and Matt and take some unexpected indoor pictures, with great results! As we came out the sun was shining, so the requested family group pictures were taken outside on the lawn. Following the Wedding Breakfast, we covered the Speeches, which were interrupted by the marvelous ‘Del Boy’ Lookalike, www.delboy2.co.uk, which provided great fun and laughter. A stroll around the grounds of Creeksea Place in the early evening and coverage of the First Dance ended our day.

Wedding Photography for Vicki & Sean at Crabbs Barn
For the start of Vicki and Sean’s Wedding we met Vicki and her Bridesmaids in the beautiful Guild Room at The White Hart Hotel, Coggeshall, to take some pictures of them all prior us leaving for Crabbs Barn, Kelvedon. Whilst the Bridesmaids were travelling in the VW Lovebus, we photographed the guys outside Crabbs Barn with ‘Del Boy Reliant Robin’. After the Ceremony Vicki and Sean took a short ride in the Lovebus whilst their Guests enjoyed the Drinks Reception. After a few classic family group photographs, we spent a short time with Vicki and Sean (and Nathan of www.bamfordfilms.com, who was excellent) creating some relaxed images of themselves. Following the BBQ by JLS Catering, which was superb, the laughter and enjoyment continued with us capturing some wonderful images, ending with a sunset picture soon after the First Dance.

Wedding Photography for Michelle & Darren
We started our day at Michelle and Darren’s house with a few pictures of Michelle and her Bridesmaids and this was followed by Darren and his Groomsmen at All Saints Church, Great Horkesley, Essex, where the Ceremony was held. Shortly after arriving at the beautiful Westwood Park, Colchester, the afternoon was interrupted by a shower but this did not dampen the relaxed afternoon. Afternoon tea on the lawn was followed by a BBQ held down by the Italian Lake in the evening, which made for a very enjoyable and relaxed day, finishing with a lovely sunset picture.
