Wedding Photography Fennes – Rachael & Carl

Wedding Photography Fennes for Rachael and Carl was in July last year. A lovely day it was too.

Rachael and Carl wanted a small relaxed Wedding Ceremony and chose the lovely Fennes Estate for this. Rachael got ready upstairs at Fennes whilst Carl was in the cottage getting ready. Rachael and Carl were very relaxed and all was well.

As Rachael was coming down the stairs prior to the Ceremony, her Dad was waiting for her. A lovely moment.

Rachael and Carl opted to have their Wedding Ceremony in the Gold Room which was intimate.

After the Ceremony it was time for the Drinks Reception. A few family group pictures were taken during the course of the afternoon. A few pictures of Rachael and Carl around Fennes took place as well.

Rachael and Carl enjoyed the rest of the afternoon chatting to their Guests. After confetti in the Gold Room it was the Wedding Breakfast followed by the Speeches. Some good reactions.

Before the evening celebrations started we took Rachael and Carl for a couple of pictures around Fennes. They then cut their Wedding cake and had their First Dance. Chuffed to get a lovely closing evening pictures just after.

Thank you Rachael and Carl for choosing us to be your Wedding Photographers for your big day. It was a lovely day.

What a glorious day for Dona and Gavin’s Fennes Wedding!

Fennes looked beautiful as always. Meeting Dona upstairs in Fennes, Dona, her daughter, sister, Mum and Bridesmaid were very relaxed. Hair and make up preparations were taking place and going very well.

Gavin was getting ready in the Cottage with his Best Men. All was well there too. When the men were ready, time for a few pictures in front of Fennes.

Pictures of Dona followed when she was ready.

Dona and Gavin’s Wedding Ceremony was held in the Pavilion. Lovely moments happened.

Following this everyone went outside. Enjoying the sunshine the Guests socialised and spent a lovely relaxed afternoon. Dona and Gavin wanted a few family group pictures taken which we took with other pictures during the afternoon.

A few together shots of Dona and Gavin on the Bridge and around the grounds took place before the Wedding Breakfast.

After the meal, it was time for the Speeches, nice words from the children. Afterwards time to walk around Fennes in the evening sunshine.

Dona and Gavin’s evening Guests arrived for the evening celebrations. Later Dona and Gavin cut their Wedding cake before their First Dance.

COVID-19 distanced Portrait

COVID-19 distanced Portrait of Sue and Ollie the Collie! We met Sue and went for a walk with Ollie to an outdoor location near our studio.

Sue wanted some pictures of herself with Ollie which she had been unable to achieve. We generally prefer the effects of a longer lens for portraits, COVID-19 just makes sure we use it and keep back.

We have worked with Sue for some years at Fennes, where she is one of the Wedding co-ordinaters.

Of course we couldn’t resist a portrait of Ollie also.

Contact us to find how we can make a COVID-19 distanced portrait for you!

Justine & Glyn's Fennes Wedding

Justine & Glyn’s Fennes Wedding

It was a lovely day for the Fennes Wedding of Justine and Glyn .

We started with a visit to Justine in the Bridal Room where preparations were going very well. Justine was enjoying sipping her Champagne.

Justine and Glen wanted their Wedding to be fairly relaxed and from the outset that was what it was. Once Glyn was ready, together with his Groomsmen, they had a few pictures taken on the lawn. Justine’s Dad was looking forward to greeting Justine at the bottom of the stairs, which he did and seeing his daughter ready to get married.

The Wedding

When it was time Justine and her Father walked into the Pavilion for the Ceremony to begin. Afterwards everyone went outside at the front of Fennes for the Drinks Reception.

The weather was fine and for the remainder of the afternoon everyone stayed outside. During this time Justine and Glyn requested a few pictures which we took but we also ended up with a variety of informal shots.

During the short walk around Fennes grounds with Justine and Glyn we captured some them in some nice relaxed photographs. Just before the Wedding Breakfast the Guests showered Justine and Glyn with confetti.

Just prior to the speeched we took the happy couple for a sunset picture. Justine and Glyn had invited a lot of Evening Guests and they were arriving just as the speeches finished .Justine and Glyn spent time with them for a little while.

The Evening Reception

Cutting the cake preceded the First Dance after which their Guests joined them on the dance floor and the celebrations got into full swing!When we felt we were happy with our coverage of Justine and Glenn’s Wedding we said our ‘goodbyes’.

A very happy Fennes Wedding day for Justine and Glyn and we were also very happy to be a part of it.

Photo archives

Photo archives

We archive all the weddings, portraits and commercial jobs that we do. Its so nice when a couple from over 10 years previous request pictures that we can usually still access them baring technology or filing errors!!

Many other photographers clear their archives after 5 years, (legally it’s only one year!) and of course many go out of business. Our archive goes back over 35 years!!

This is Claire and Ben who were married at Fennes in 2008 and recently asked to see their pictures.

Wedding Photography at Fennes for Katie & Daniel

Wedding Photography at Fennes for Katie & Daniel

Katie and Daniel booked us to provide their wedding photography at Fennes. It was nice to be back at this wonderful and popular venue.

Arriving at Fennes the girls were busily getting ready upstairs in the house and Daniel and his Groomsmen were getting ready at Fennes as well so David and I split to cover all the preparations. Katie and Daniel were very relaxed about their Wedding especially as where their children were concerned. Belle, their daughter, was with the girls and Jake, their son was with Daniel and the Groomsmen. Preparations were going well and when Daniel was ready with his Groomsmen, they had some pictures taken. Daniel then went to see the Registrars and then socialised with the Guests. Once Katie was ready we took some pictures upstairs. Katie’s Father was waiting for her to come down the stairs and we were there to capture this special moment when it happened.

The Ceremony and Reception

After meeting with the Registrars they took their places in the Pavilion. The Bridesmaids and Belle, the Flowergirl, went first, followed by Katie and her Dad. After the Ceremony everyone went outside as the weather was nice. During the Drinks Reception we took the requested family pictures followed by some fun Bridal Party pictures. Jake, the Pageboy enjoyed helping David take the pictures! Katie and Daniel’s ‘together’ photos were taken during the afternoon as well. The Guests threw confetti over Katie and Daniel in the Gold Room just before the Guests were called into the Pavilion for the Wedding Breakfast. Katie and Daniel had a few minutes to themselves before they made their entrance into the Pavilion. After the Wedding Breakfast it was time for the Speeches. An couple of additional Speeches were made. Katie delivered one and so did Grace, Daniel’s daughter. They both did very well.

The Evening Reception

There was a short time before the start of the evening celebrations so we took Katie and Daniel for a short while for a few more pictures around Fennes including a glorious sunset picture. Before their First Dance later Katie threw her bouquet. Sparklers, night bridge shots finished our coverage of Katie and Daniel’s Wedding a little later on. A great couple, a lovely family, and a most rewarding day with some lovely unexpected shots.

Pre-Wedding Pictures for Katie & Dan

Pre-Wedding Pictures for Katie & Dan

Katie and Daniel came to see us just before their Wedding and pre-wedding pictures. The wedding was last year at Fennes. They came with their children, Jake and Belle and it was nice to meet them before the Wedding.

After a coffee and a chat and filling in the details about their Wedding, we all went off to take a few pictures. Getting to know our clients before their big day is really important to us and we find a brief time in different surroundings provides an opportunity of getting to know each other better.
