Wedding Photography at Fennes for Maddy & Gordon

We were delighted to be booked for Wedding Photography at Fennes for Maddy & Gordon.

We arrived at Fennes as Maddy was getting ready upstairs in the House and Gordon was getting ready in the Cottage. We went up to see Maddy first and took a few pictures of what was going on. David went off to see Gordon who was almost ready for his pictures with his sons and Best Man.

Not long after this Maddy was ready and it was time for us to take some pictures of her, together with her Maid of Honour, Mandy and the Flowergirls, Grace and Florence. They all then came downstairs. Maddy was greeted by Derek, who was going to give her away.

The Wedding Ceremony

The Guests were seated in the Pavilion for the Ceremony and once the Registrars had entered the Pavilion, Maddy, Derek and the Bridesmaids made their way down there, waiting to be ushered in, once everyone was settled.

After the Ceremony, Maddy and Gordon left the Pavilion and walked up to the front of the House. They then went into the Gold Room for a little time on their own. The Guests made their way up to the front of the house and had their reception drinks in the rooms.

The Rain

Unfortunately, it was heavy rain outside so we all had to stay inside. Not a problem. Fennes is a wonderful Venue as there are always rooms which are available if the weather is not on our side!

For a few of requested family group pictures we used the steps just outside the door to Fennes. That way everyone kept dry except David!

The Rain Stopped!

During a short break in the weather we were able to take an ‘everybody’ picture and we took Maddy and Gordon to the bridge. Being very wet we were restricted a bit on the pictures we could do but we managed.

There was still time to take a couple of pictures of Maddy and Gordon inside Fennes as well.

The Confetti

Confetti pictures in the Gold Room looked good. Maddy and Gordon had a couple of pictures with their Wedding Cake followed the Receiving Line. The Guests then went into the Pavilion for the Wedding Breakfast, followed by Maddy and Gordon. Once Maddy and Gordon were seated that was the end of our coverage of their Fennes Wedding. A lovely Wedding Day!

Fennes Wedding Photography for Lauren & Matt

Fennes Wedding Photography for Lauren & Matt. It was a beautiful bright sunny day although it was windy.

After arriving at Fennes we went upstairs in the House to see Lauren. Preparations were going well with lots going on.

David went off to find Matt and the Groomsmen who were getting ready here as well. After a few final preparation pictures the boys were ready for some pictures. Outside they went, making the most of a dry day and the different places Fennes has to offer for pictures.

The Wedding Guests were arriving so Matt and the Groomsmen greeted them. Upstairs in the Bridal Room the Bridesmaids were ready to change into their Dresses. Lauren’s turn for final preparations!

The Flowergirls came and had a look at Lauren in her Wedding Dress as soon as she was ready . She looked lovely, her Father came into the room to see her before we got on with taking some Bridal pictures.

Matt had seen the Registrar so the Guests took their seats in the Pavilion for the Ceremony. Lauren saw the Registrar afterwards and then it was time for Lauren to make her way to the Ceremony. The Bridesmaids and Flowergirls went before Lauren into the Pavilion.

Fennes Wedding Ceremony

Following the Ceremony everyone went outside for a group picture before going back inside for the Drinks Reception. Once Lauren and Matt had spent some time socialising with their Guess we continued with the pictures. It was too windy to stay outside for long so we made the most of all the rooms inside at Fennes.

Windy Wedding

Keeping the guests inside was best and no problem at all. During the afternoon we took Lauren and Matt for a stroll around the gardens including going on the Bridge. The Daffodils made a lovely backdrop to Lauren and Matt’s together pictures.

Just before the Wedding Breakfast the Guests threw confetti over the couple in the Gold Room.

The Wedding Breakfast

During the meal everyone was entertained by a Singer. A nice sunset and we managed to take a couple of pictures of this in between the courses of the meal. The Speeches followed, these were very good.

The Evening Party

The Evening Guests arrived a little later and the evening celebrations began. There was a little time for us to take Lauren and Matt for a few evening pictures around Fennes.The bouquet toss and cake cutting followed soon after and then the First Dance.

Once we had a selection of pictures of the evening Guests we then said our goodbyes. It was wonderful Fennes Wedding Photography for Lauren & Matt. Two lovely people.

Fennes Wedding Photography for Elena & James

Fennes Wedding Photography for Elena & James

Fennes Wedding Photography – What a wonderful day for a beautiful Wedding at the glorious Fennes! We were so looking forward to Elena & James’ Summer Wedding at Fennes.

On arrival we made our way upstairs to where Elena and the girls were getting ready. James and his Groomsmen were getting ready in the house as well so after saying ‘hello’ to the girls, David went off to find James.

Preparations were going well in both camps. Once James and his Groomsmen were ready their pictures were taken around the grounds of Fennes. After that they socialised with the Guests spending the time outside enjoying the lovely weather. Elena was soon ready but before we took some pictures Elena’s Father came into the room to see her. A few family and Bridal pictures were taken before Elena went down the stairs to see the Registrar.

Elena and James chose to have their Wedding Ceremony outdoors. Being so hot the Guests waited until the last moment for taking their seats on the lawn. They didn’t have long to wait,

The ceremony

Elena accompanied by her Father came out of the house and walked over to the Gazebo. After the Ceremony, as everyone took the Reception Drinks we took the ‘everybody’ picture and a couple of requested pictures. That was enough in the sun, time to move to the the shade of the trees for the rest of the pictures. It was a very relaxed afternoon and this allowed pictures not be rushed and gave time to Elena and James to talk to their Guests.

Elena and James wanted some fun shots so later on we did those and took them for a quick walk around the grounds for their pictures, finishing inside for a couple as well. The Wedding Breakfast was held in the Pavilion and once the Guests were seated Elena and James made their entrance. After the meal it was time for the Speeches.

There is usually time between the end of the meal and the start of the evening celebrations for extra pictures with the Bride and Groom and Elena and James wanted to do some more and some fun pictures! Aware that their Evening Guests were starting to arrive we made sure we returned so they could greet them.

The Dancing !!

When Elena and James cut their Wedding Cake a bit later on they then had their First Dance. The Guests then joined them on the dance floor. .A little while later a surprise for everyone! Moldovan dancers took to the dance floor and performed a variety of dances. Everyone clapped as they performed their dances. Wonderful! Now it was the Bride and Groom’s turn to join in followed by Guests if they wanted to. The dance floor was packed! Superb! Great pictures!

David and I after taking some informal pictures during the evening and stepping out with Elena and James for the sunset, made ourselves scarce for a bit. We knew what was coming next! When the time was right, the DJ asked the Guests to go outside. Awaiting them there were Sparklers! With lots of Sparklers lit, the Guests made two lines so Elena and James could walk down the middle. Great pictures.! What a way to finish our coverage of Elena and James’ Wedding! A lovely couple and a fantastic day was had!

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.
