Our day started at Fennes with Becky getting ready there before going to the Church. After a few final preparation pictures upstairs, we took Becky’s Bridal portraits downstairs in the Gold and Red rooms.
As Ian of Nixons Cars arrived, that was our cue to leave and head off to St. Mary’s Church, Bocking. Capturing some pictures of Mike, his Best Man and Ushers, before many of the Guests arrived was achieved and as they made their way into Church, we waited for the arrival of Becky. After the Church service and a few family photographs outside the Church, everybody left to go to Fennes for the Reception. With the light being good, whilst the Guests were still arriving, we took Becky and Mike for a few pictures on the bridge.
Prior to the Receiving Line, with the sun going down we quickly whizzed Becky and Mike outside to capture the sunset. Following the Wedding Breakfast and Speeches, Becky and Mike enjoyed a little while to themselves in the Gold Room (discreetly we took a couple of pictures!), before returning to their Guests for the cutting of the Wedding cake and their First Dance.

Wedding Photography for Pam & Dan – The Fennes, Bocking
Pam and Dan chose the lovely Fennes Estate for their Wedding in the Autumn last year. Both of them were getting ready at Fennes so we were able to capture a range of different pictures before the Civil Ceremony. Following the Ceremony in the Pavilion, Pam and Dan made their way to the front of Fennes for the release of doves.
With their Guests watching indoors as it was raining and after capturing a few photographs Pam and Dan enjoyed time socialising with their Guests during the Drinks Reception. A few requested family group pictures were taken in the Gold Room and a short time afterwards, with the rain easing off, we ventured outside with Pam and Dan. Using the Gazebo as it was dry made for some nice pictures and on our way back to the House, with the weather improved, the Bridal Party joined us for some fun, relaxed pictures outside the House.
Later the Wedding Breakfast commenced followed by the Speeches. Pam had proposed to Dan onthe 29th February and hearing the story made for some good pictures in the Speeches. Whilst their Evening Guests were arriving we took a couple of pictures of the two of them inside Fennes before their First Dance.

Wedding Photography for Sarah & Mark – St Peter & St Paul Church, Black Notley & Fennes
Our day started at Sarah and Mark’s house where Sarah, her Mum, and Sarah & Mark’s daughter, Kiera were getting ready. The day was running smoothly and it was not long before Sarah was ready for some photographs, to be joined shortly by her Mum and Kiera. After taking a few pictures of all of them we left to go to St. Peter & St. Paul Church, Black Notley. Mark was there with their son, Fraser, so we took some portraits of them before Sarah arrived. Following the church service and a few family group shots and confetti in the grounds, Fennes was our next stop.
Fennes looked beautiful as always and the Autumn colours added to the setting. Whilst the Guests were arriving, we took Sarah and Mark for a short walk around Fennes for some of their pictures. 
Later, when all Guests had arrived we took the remainder of their requested pictures as well as some informal ones. The Receiving Line preceded the Wedding Breakfast and Speeches. Before Sarah and Mark’s evening Guests arrived Sarah and Mark asked for a few pictures taken in the rooms in Fennes which we were delighted to do. Sarah tossed her Bouquet to her friends, prior to the cake cutting and First Dance. Shortly afterwards it was time for us to leave everybody to enjoy the rest of the evening.

Wedding Photography for Kavita & Sam – The Fennes Estate, Bocking
We arrived at Fennes for the Wedding of Kavita and Sam with plenty of time to capture pictures of Kavita getting ready, then moving to The Fennes Suite for some pictures of Kavita, her Family and Bridesmaids. In between times we found Sam, his Best Man and Ushers, who were greeting Guests and took a few pictures of them before they went to the Pavilion for the Civil Ceremony. After the Ceremony, with the weather not playing ball, everybody stayed in the House for the Drinks Reception. During this time we took some family group photographs in the Gold Room, mixed with a few Bridal Party pictures and a few pictures of Kavita and Sam.
David and I are always up for going outside whatever the weather if the Bride and Groom want to as well, and as Kavita had her “Weddington Boots” , we took the opportunity. With the help of a few of the Bridal Party and umbrellas, off we went to the Bridge. 
A short stop for a couple of pictures in the Gazebo, then back in the dry! Thank you to all! Wedding Breakfast and Speeches followed before Kavita and Sam left their Guests for a change of dress for their Evening Reception. Once changed, we took some photographs of the two of them before they made their entrance for the start of the Evening celebrations.
After a few dancing pictures, and relaxed, informal pictures of their Guests and evening Guests, it was time for us to leave. -
