Fennes Wedding Photos – Kate & Adam

Fennes Wedding Photos never fail and make Weddings at Fennes a pleasure to do. We always end up with some wonderful pictures.

Kate and Adam were both getting ready at Fennes for their July Wedding. Everything was going well with their preparations. Timings were working well. Adam was getting ready at Fennes as wellso it was nice to captre a few moments with him before his more formal pictures.

Upstairs in the Bridal Room Kate was having fun with her Mum and Bridesmaids.

When Kate was ready we took some pictures of her and the Bridesmaids before she went down the stairs to see the Registrars. An outside Wedding Ceremony was Kate and Adam’s choice and it’s was nice to see their wishes come true. Kate’s Dad was waiting to escort her outside a lovely moment and also another one as Adam waited for his Bride.

Following the Ceremony socialising outside was the order for the day. It was a relaxed afternoon broken up occasionally with some requested family pictures and pictures around the grounds for Kate and Adam.

After the Wedding Breakfast it was time for the Speeches. Evening Guests came shortly after. Guests could enjoy being in the grounds of Fennes whilst we took a couple of evening pictures of Kate and Adam.

After taking some pictures of the First Dance and the dancing that followed, that ended our day.

A great Fennes Wedding! Thank you Kate and Adam.

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.

Fennes Wedding Photography for Catherine & Adam

Yes, finally, Catherine and Adam’s Wedding at Fennes! After postponements, due to Covid and the birth of their daughter, Felicity, the Wedding finally took place!

Catherine and her Bridesmaids were getting ready at Fennes and all was going well.

The Camper Van was waiting to take Adam and his Groomsmen to St Mary’s Church Bocking for the Wedding service but there was time to take a few pictures of them before leaving.

Time as always was going very fast but we managed to take a few pictures of the girls before they left.

All Felicity wanted when we got to the Church was her Mum! No problem, Catherine carried her into the Church. Felicity loved being a part of her Mum and Dad’s Wedding Day.

A few pictures outside the Church and off we went back to Fennes,

A lovely relaxed afternoon was spent at Fennes enjoying the wonderful weather. We spent a little time with Catherine and Adam, taking a few pictures of them on the Bridge.

It was a beautiful evening after the Wedding Breakfast and Speeches so outside was the place to be. Sparklers finished our coverage of Catherine and Adam’s lovely Wedding Day.

Fennes Wedding – Caroline & Tom

Fennes Wedding! At last! Our first Wedding of 2021 and it was extra special!

Pandemic Delay

Caroline and Tom had tried to get married on three previous dates! One of the previous dates was called of at 24 hours notice! Finally, with everybody’s fingers and toes crossed the marriage happened! What a day to choose, a very warm late spring day in May!

Preparations

We arrived at Fennes in the morning and met up with Caroline and Tom. Caroline was getting ready upstairs in Fennes with her Bridesmaids. Unbelievably Caroline and Tom’s Wedding Day had taken another turn!

Caroline’s Bridesmaid and her family unfortunately were not able to attend the Wedding. This happens but Caroline’s Bridesmaid was also the Hairdresser! She was going to do all the hair requirements on the day! Fennes staff to the rescue! You can rely on them! Earlier in the morning they had found a substitute Hairdresser! Caroline just took it all in her stride, which was wonderful.

The Ceremony was taking place outside and it the Gazebo looked lovely. Once Tom, his Best Man and Ushers were ready, we took a few pictures of them.

Meeting Dad

When Caroline was ready, her Dad made his way upstairs to see his daughter. A lovely moment. A few Bridal pictures were taken.

The Ceremony at last!

Caroline then came downstairs for the Fennes Wedding. Exiting from the Gold Room Caroline then made her way over to the Gazebo. Married at last!

The pictures of Caroline, Tom and all their Guests after the completion of the formalities were fabulous. It was great to capture these moment pictures whilst Caroline and Tom were enjoying the time. A musician provided the entertainment for them all.

Family Pictures

A little later we got on with taking the requested family pictures. During the afternoon Caroline and Tom had plenty of time to themselves before we took them for a few minutes around the grounds of Fennes for their pictures.

Wedding Breakfast

The Wedding Breakfast was in the Pavilion. Speeches took place after the meal. Later we took a few pictures of Caroline and Tom in the House. First Dance was going to be outside on the new Patio Area. Once Caroline and Tom did their First Dance we finished up with an evening picture by the bridge.

The end of our coverage of a very enjoyable relaxed Wedding for a lovely couple. Congratulations Caroline and Tom! It was well worth the wait! Huge thanks to Fennes, especially Sue and Sophie.

Penny & Simon's Pre-Wedding Pictures

Penny and Simon’s Pre-Wedding pictures were taken at Fennes before their meeting with the staff to discuss their forthcoming Wedding.

Pandemic Delay

Penny and Simon were due to get married in 2020 and are hopeful they can now be married later this year!

Fennes New Patio

Meeting Penny and Simon at Fennes worked well as we could see the nice new Patio area outside the Pavilion which has been built. An outside area for the Bride and Groom’s First Dance to take place. Deciding to meet with Penny and Simon before their Fennes meeting was good on the day, as the wind was expected to increase later on and we wanted some outdoor pictures.

Wedding Day Details

After filling in a few details of their Wedding Day and having a chat, we took a quick walk around the grounds and took a few pictures of Penny and Simon. We are looking forward, with fingers crossed, their Wedding can go ahead in a few weeks time.

Wedding Photography at Fennes for Jennifer & Joe

Our next job was Wedding Photography at Fennes for Jennifer & Joe’s Civil Ceremony in the Autumn last year.

Wedding Preparations

The girls were getting ready upstairs at Fennes when we arrived so after saying ‘hello’ we got on with taking some accessory pictures including Jen’s Wedding Dress.

The guys were downstairs just finishing off their preparations. Once they were ready they went outside for some pictures. Following these pictures, Wedding Guests were arriving so the men went off to greet them.

One of the great things about Fennes is having the all the rooms available. Today as the Guests arrived they made use of them all. The Bridesmaids were dressed and Jennifer was getting into her dress. Some nice moments when the Bridesmaids saw Jen in her Wedding dress.

As the Guests were making their way into the Pavilion for the Ceremony we got on with taking some Bridal portraits of Jen and some pictures with the Bridesmaids. Wedding Ceremony

Fennes Wedding Ceremony

Jen’s Father was waiting at the bottom of the stairs so when the time was right, Jen went downstairs. Nice moments. The Bridesmaids led the way into the Pavilion for the Ceremony.

Following the Ceremony the Guests followed Jen and Joe to the front of Fennes.

As the weather was ok, dry and a little windy, the Guests went outside whilst Jen and Joe had a few minutes to themselves in the Gold Room. This allowed us time arrange the ‘everybody’ group. Everyone was outside so it was decided to get on and take the requested family pictures.

Guests then enjoyed the Drinks Reception whilst we carried on with other pictures around. A little while later we took Jen and Joe onto Fennes Bridge for some pictures followed by a short walk around the grounds.

Before the Wedding Breakfast it was time for ‘bubbles’ in the Gold Room. Everybody enjoyed this with us capturing some nice reaction pictures.

Wedding Breakfast

The Wedding Breakfast took place in the Pavilion and this was followed by the Speeches.

There is generally time after the Wedding Breakfast for some evening pictures and today was no exception. It was dark so we took a few pictures inside Fennes including the ‘heart’ shot.

The Band was setting up in the Fennes Pavilion for the evening’s entertainment as we were doing this. The Evening Guests arrived and joined in the celebrations. After cutting their Wedding Cake, Jen and Joe took to the dance floor for their First Dance.

During the evening we took a few pictures and waited for Jen’s Dad to join the Band for his part. Capturing this and a couple of other bits, we finished our coverage of Jen and Joe’s Wedding. Another good Day of Wedding Photography at Fennes. Congratulations Jen and Joe!

Fennes Wedding Photography for Lynne & Gerry

It was great to be back for Fennes Wedding Photography for Lynne and Gerry. The sun was shining when we arrived at Fennes on the morning of their Wedding.

Lynne and Gerry chose to have a Church Ceremony at the lovely St Mary’s Church, Bocking, Both Lynne and Gerry were getting ready at Fennes before the Ceremony so we were there to capture the goings on. All preparations were running smoothly. This allowed us time to take a few formal pictures as well of Gerry with his Groomsmen and some Bridal portraits of Lynne later on.

Gerry left for the Church immediately after we had taken his pictures and the Horse and Carriage arrived at the front of Fennes. Gerry had no idea this was the mode of transport for Lynne to get to the Church and for their return to Fennes later. Once we had taken Lynne’s pictures, off she went in the Horse and Carriage accompanied by her Mother and Father. We had time at the Church for a few informal pictures before Lynne arrived.

The Ceremony

Walking up the path, Lynne took her Father’s arm and after speaking with the Vicar went into the Church. Gerry’s three daughters delivered some nice readings during the service. Once the formalities of the Ceremony were over, Lynne and Gerry walked down the aisle and out of the Church.

It was a bright, dry day but slightly windy day for the pictures taken at the Church. After a few requested pictures the Guests lined the path towards the gate. Usually, the Guests throw confetti over the happy couple as they leave but today it was not so. The confetti had been left at Fennes, so instead they just cheered and clapped Lynne and Gerry as they exited the Church. A surprise to everyone was the Horse and Carriage!

Fennes Wedding Reception

It was a lovely relaxed afternoon spent at Fennes with the Drinks Reception being held outside and lots of socialising going on.

Occasionally in the afternoon this was interrupted by us taking a few other pictures including pictures of Lynee and Gerry on the bridge.Before the start of the Wedding Breakfast petals were thrown over Lynne and Gerry in the corridor before entering the Pavilion. Speeches were after the meal.

Sunset!

There was a nice sunset so very quickly we were able to take Lynne and Gerry for this. The evening celebrations then began.

Evening Guests arrived and joined in with the other Guests as Lynne and Gerry cut their Wedding cake. They then took to the dance floor for their First Dance. Dancing continued during the evening but it was soon time for us to say our goodbyes. A wonderful day of Fennes Wedding Photography. Congratulations to Lynne and Gerry.

Fennes Wedding Photographers for Lisa & Nathan

We were the Fennes Wedding Photographers for Lisa and Nathan’s Wedding.

Bridal Preparations

Arriving at Fennes we made our way upstairs to see Lisa. Lots of preparations were taking place so it was full on. We took pictures of Lisa’s Wedding Dress and Accessories in the John Dorwood Suite, as there was more room to move around and it was cooler to work in. It was easy to go between the rooms as and when it was necessary.

The Men

Nathan was getting ready at Fennes so David went off to find him and the Groomsmen. Once they were ready they had some pictures taken outside in the grounds.

Once the finishing touches were applied for the make-up and hair the Bridesmaids got changed into their Bridesmaid Dresses. Lisa went to put on her Wedding Dress, assisted by her Mother. Lisa wanted to surprise her Bridesmaids with the ‘big reveal’. We took a few Bridal Portraits of Lisa before we moved back to the Bridal Changing Room. Some nice ‘moment’ pictures when this happened. After taking a few pictures of them it was time to go! Lisa’s Father was waiting at the bottom of the stairs and as usual this made a lovely picture.

Outdoor Ceremony

Once it was time, the Bridesmaids led the way across the grass to the Gazebo. It was a beautiful day, the Gazebo looked lovely, decorated with many flowers and as they all walked out it was a wonderful picture. After the Ceremony, everyone enjoyed the Drinks Reception.

Family Pictures

Lisa and Nathan wanted some family pictures which we did after they had time to socialise with their Guests. Fennes bridge, of course, was used for some of their pictures later on, finishing with a few minutes around the grounds. A greeting line was held before Lisa and Nathan entered the Pavilion for the Wedding Breakfast. The Speeches followed and then Lisa and Nathan cut their Wedding Cake.

Evening Fun

It was such a lovely evening, the outside was popular with many Guests. Lisa and Nathan wanted a few more ‘fun’ pictures and it was the right time to do these. Sunset beckoned a little later. Lisa and Nathan had time to mingle with their Guests after this before their First Dance. It was not long after this we said our ‘goodbyes’. The end to another day being Fennes Wedding Photographers.

Fennes Wedding Photography for Dana & Trevor

The next job in the summer last year was Fennes Wedding Photography for Dana & Trevor. A glorious sunny day made Fennes looked beautiful.

The Girls

We arrived at Fennes and went to the Bridal Suite. It was pretty lively as you can imagine with lots of preparations going on. David and I kept ourselves busy with photographing Dana’s Wedding Dress and Accessories, always with an eye open as to the happenings.

The Men

During this time Trevor and his Groomsmen and the Pageboys arrived. Once they had gone to their rooms and settled in David went over to take some pictures of their preparations. It wasn’t long before they were dressed and ready to do some pictures. These didn’t take very long so they were able to meet the Wedding Guests. Relaxed moments captured as Guests sat around at the tables or wandered around the grounds. Upstairs in the House, all preparations were coming together.

The girls were dressed and Dana was almost dressed being helped by Chanelle, her daughter. Barry, Dana’s Brother, who was giving her away, couldn’t resist coming upstairs and seeing Dana. Special moments. The two Pageboys had a sneak preview as well! We got with taking a few pictures of Dana with her Bridesmaids and a few Bridal Portraits before going downstairs.

The Wedding Ceremony

It was to be an outdoor Ceremony so everyone set up in the Gold Room. The Pageboys were the Ring Bearers as well and when the doors opened they were the leaders to the Gazebo for the Ceremony to take place.

When the Ceremony was finished Dana and Trevor walked down the aisle and when they reached the end they had a little dance! Some lovely reactions and pictures! After taking the ‘everybody’ shot we moved to under the trees where it was shaded forthe requested family pictures. Once these were finished everyone socialised during the Drinks Reception with the Harpist entertaining them. We had fun later with the relaxed Bridal party pictures. We took Dana and Trevor for a short walk around Fennes during the afternoon before the confetti pictures.

Dana and Trevor greeted their Guests before the Wedding Breakfast began.

After the meal and Speeches everyone made the most of the evening sunshine by being in the grounds.

The Evening Celebrations

This was the time when Dana and Trevor had a few extra pictures taken around Fennes. Dana then changed her dress just before the start of the evening celebrations. After cutting their Wedding Cake, it was First Dance time. Great dance moves from this Bride and Groom!

Finishing our Fennes Wedding Photography of Dana and Trevor’s big day was a sunset picture. A beautiful ending for a lovely couple!
