Wedding Photography Braxted Park for Sarah-Jayne & Michael
Wedding Photography Braxted Park – Braxted Park was the superb Essex Wedding Venue Sarah Jayne and Michael chose for their Wedding. It was a dry autumnal day when we arrived at Braxted Park on the morning of the Wedding. Sarah-Jayne and her Bridesmaids were getting ready in the Bride’s Changing Room with all things going smoothly. Michael was outside having a few pictures taken with his Best Man and Ushers before the Wedding Guests started to arrive.
With final preparations complete the girls were having some photos taken before it was time for the Ceremony. With the Guests seated in the Orangery, Sarah-Jayne took her Father’s arm and they walked the short distance to the front of the room for the Ceremony to begin. Following the Ceremony, Sarah-Jayne and Michael had a couple of minutes to themselves whilst their Guests were being shown the way to the Walled Garden. We then took Sarah-Jayne and Michael through the House for a few pictures before they joined their Guests on the steps. After the picture of everyone the Guests lined the path to the Walled Garden for the confetti throwing before the Drinks Reception. The weather was still holding so everybody mingled outside while we completed the few requested family pictures. We made the most of the hard standing areas, and took these pictures plus a few fun ones as the grass was a little damp. Taking a little time to take Sarah-Jayne and Michael away for a few together pictures by the Lake and Driveway proved to be the right thing to do just before the rain arrived!
We captured some nice images before we returned a little while later in time for the Wedding Breakfast. The pavilion looked lovely and once Sarah-Jayne and Michael were seated the meal was served. Coverage of the Speeches followed and a while later the Evening Guests arrived. Sarah-Jayne tossed her bouquet just before the happy couple took to the dance floor for their First Dance. Braxted Park at night looks beautiful and before we left we took a few pictures of Sarah-Jayne and Michael by the fountain.

Wedding Photographs Fennes for Kristen & Andrew
Wedding Photographs Fennes – The popular friendly Wedding Venue, The Fennes near Braintree, Essex, was Kristen and Andrew’s choice for their Wedding Day. Arriving at Fennes, Kristen was busily getting ready upstairs with the Bridesmaids and Flowergirls. Preparations were going well, so with keeping an eye on developments together with taking some detail pictures, it was busy! David sought out the men who were almost ready and when they were, there was time for some pictures to be taken. For a change David took Andrew, with his Best Man, Andy, out the back of Fennes for their pictures, even though it was raining.
Pleased with the results they returned to the house. Meanwhile, Kristen was in the final stages of getting dressed and soon ready for some pictures. 
Equally some lovely pictures captured of Kristen and the girls. In no time at all it was time for the Wedding Ceremony. With the Guests seated the Flowergirls led the way into the Pavilion followed by the Bridesmaids and Kristin escorted by her Father. Following the Ceremony, Kristen and Andrew led their Guests to the front of Fennes for the Drinks Reception.
Unable to go outside at that particular time due to the continuing rain, the Wedding Guests made themselves comfortable in the rooms in Fennes, leaving us the Gold Room to take some pictures of the happy couple. A short while after the rain stopped, we all went outside for a few pictures, making good use of the steps. Later after socialising with their Guests, Kristen changed her footwear so we could venture further outside for their pictures. Kristen and Andrew wanted to make the most of the superb grounds for their wedding photography, so off we went, for a short tour! An enjoyable time, resulting in some lovely pictures for them.
Once they were back indoors the Guests threw confetti over Kristen and Andrew before the guests made their way to the Pavilion for the Wedding Breakfast. This allowed a few minutes for some pictures of Kristin and Andrew in the Red Room, before they also made their entrance into the Pavilion. Speeches followed the meal and then the Pavilion was prepared for the evening celebrations. After their evening Guests arrived in time for cutting the Wedding Cake shortly prior to the First Dance. Some lovely moments captured! Our coverage of Kristin and Andrew”s Wedding Day finished with their ‘sparklers’. A great day!

Gaynes Park Photographer testimonial
Gaynes Park Photographer testimonial :-
“our thanks for the most stunning storybook. A story it definitely tells!
We were both lost for words after collecting it. The drive home was spent reminiscing the day all over again. Both of our parents were also very overwhelmed by their very own matching album.
Neither of us are photogenic people but from the moment you arrived on the wedding day to minute you left, we both felt extremely comfortable and the memories that you have captured of our day are amazing. Each time we look at them we see another one we missed the last time.
We will definitely recommend you both to our friends who are getting married in the years to come.
Huge thanks again for telling our story!!
With love from Nigel and Colinda – Gaynes Park Barn February 2014″
Our original blog post on Colinda and Nigel’s wedding is here.

Prested Hall Wedding Photography for Anna & Chris
Prested Hall Wedding Photography – It was an early start for us arriving at Anna’s Parents’ home for the preparation pictures. It was a beautiful day, and preparations were well underway. After capturing the getting ready shots, it was time for a few pictures in the garden which Anna’s Dad had worked so hard on to provide a nice backdrop. It was sunny and very humid so we took the garden pictures as quickly as we could!
David and I then left to go St Nicolas Church, Witham. Chris and his Groomsmen were at the Church when we arrived and we managed to take a few pictures of them in between their duties. It wasn’t long before Anna arrived, driven to the Church by her Dad in the E-Type Jag. With all the Guests in the Church she made her way up the path and into the Church with her Dad followed by the Bridesmaids. During the service there was an almighty downpour which was quickly followed by brilliant sunshine! At the end of the Ceremony, Anna and Chris led their Guests out of the Church for some requested family photographs. Once these were finished everybody made their way to the gate for the confetti pictures, before leaving for the Reception. 
Anna and Chris wanted some pictures with the car along the driveway to Prested Hall, which we were happy to do. Timings were perfect, us arriving, getting set up just as they turned into the driveway. It was a great fun session with Anna and Chris also rehearsing (without music!) their dance steps for later, with us getting the fun images we wanted. Anna and Chris then joined their Guests for the Drinks Reception whilst we took a few informal pictures. A little while later as we were starting to organise the everybody picture, the rain made another appearance! The Wedding Breakfast beckoned! After the meal, we covered the Speeches, which was then followed by a second attempt at the ‘everybody’ picture with more success this time! Before the start of the evening celebrations and the arrival of their evening Guests, we took the happy couple for a short walk around the grounds of Prested Hall for a few relaxed pictures. Being a day of good but mixed weather, they ended up with a brilliant sunset picture as well as a rainbow picture!
Later Anna and Chris’ s rehearsed First Dance wowed their Guests before they joined them on the dance floor. It was nice to see familiar family members again. An amazing Wedding!
