Wedding Photography Fennes – Paula and David chose the splendid Wedding Venue, Fennes, for their Wedding Ceremony and Reception. It was a glorious day and preparations were underway for an outdoor Ceremony. Paula’s Bridal preparations were going well upstairs, David was downstairs greeting their Guests. Once we had used a few minutes capturing a few pictures of him we left him to return to the guests. Paula was not too keen having her picture taken, but she was fine, we worked quickly and took a couple of pictures of her, then it was time for her to go downstairs. The Guests were seated and it was time for Paula to take her son’s arm and walk over to the Gazebo for the Ceremony. Following the Ceremony we took a picture of everybody then they enjoyed the Drinks Reception whilst we took a few informal pictures. Paula and David’s dog Bert, was part of the Wedding and joined them in their pictures around the grounds of Fennes as well as in the group pictures later on.
After the confetti pictures we took Paula and David into the Pavilion to take a couple of pictures with the cake before the start of the Wedding Breakfast. 
Once all the guests were seated for the Wedding Breakfast, we left them to enjoy the Wedding Breakfast and their celebrations.

Wedding Photographer The Fennes, Bocking, for Lauren & Terry
The Fennes Estate was the chosen Wedding Venue for Lauren and Terry’s Wedding. This lovely Venue is a joy to work at and fantastic for a wedding photographer! An early start was required for Lauren and her Bridesmaids with lots of preparations going on. When we arrived we just followed the sound of laughter and excitement which led us upstairs into the Bridal Room. In between taking the details and accessory pictures, we captured some lovely informal moments of the preparations. At the same time we were keeping our ears open for the sound of a McLaren Sports Car which had been a surprise for Terry, he was being picked up and driven to Fennes by his Best Man. We wanted to make sure we were in the right place so we did not miss the big arrival. Once Terry with his Best Man and Ushers were all there, they quickly finished their preparations in the Library before any of the Guests arrived and we took a few portraits.
Back upstairs the girls were almost ready. Lauren, six Bridesmaids and family members, and ourselves all moved to The Fennes Suite where there was more room for the finishing off and pictures. As usual, the time was rapidly disappearing so we had to work quickly to get the pictures needed for Laura’s Storybook album. Lauren’s Dad was waiting at the bottom of the stairs and greeted her before she saw the Registrars.
Once the Guests were seated in the Pavilion, Lauren and her Bridesmaids made their entrance looking beautiful. Everybody enjoyed the Drinks Reception outside whilst we arranged the requested family pictures. Trying to keep the wonderful relaxed atmosphere going we took some fun pictures of the Bridal Party and some car shots. Leaving their Guests temporarily for a few minutes to take Lauren and Terry for their bridge shots resulted in some nice images.
After the confetti shots it was time for the Speeches prior to the Wedding Breakfast in the delightfully decorated Pavilion. Lauren and Terry wanted some pictures in the Red Room and Gold Room together with other evening pictures. To make the most of their Venue in the pictures we took these in the relaxed time after the meal.
Going here, there and everywhere capturing images of the day, kept us busy!
Following the First Dance and some informal pictures of the evening Guests it was time for us to say goodbye. A superb day! A couple of notes we must add, it is always great to work with David of Rideout Films as we keep each other informed of what is happening that either of us could miss, and thanks to the staff at Fennes for making us welcome as usual.

Wedding Photography Fennes for Natalie & Matthew
Wedding Photography Fennes for Natalie and Matthew – It was a beautiful day when we arrived at Fennes, Bocking, for the Wedding of Natalie and Matthew. Preparations were going well with the girls and all things were running smoothly. The Fennes Estate looked superb and when Matthew and his Groomsmen arrived we took advantage of the setting for their pictures. Once the girls were ready, we took a few portraits before it was time for the Civil Ceremony.
Natalie and Matthew chose to have their Wedding Ceremony in the Pavilion, which as usual looked lovely. Afterwards, everybody made their way outside at the front of Fennes for the Drinks Reception. After the requested family group pictures were taken, the Guests were left to enjoy the Drinks Reception for a few minutes in the warm sunshine, while we took Natalie and Matthew for their pictures. 
Using the remaining bluebells for some of their together pictures worked very well before they returned to join the guests. 
With a few fun Bridal Party pictures done, it was then time for the Receiving Line and the Wedding Breakfast. After the speeches there was enough time before the Evening Reception for us to take some images of Natalie and Matthew in the Gold Room and by the Bridal Cottage. With their Evening Guests arriving we took a few informal pictures of them before and after the First Dance. We finished our coverage of Natalie and Matthew’s Wedding with a sunset picture and one under the illuminated pergola.

Wedding Photography Fennes, Essex for Debbie & Dave
Wedding Photography Fennes, Essex – The Fennes Estate was the chosen Venue for Debbie and Dave’s Civil Ceremony Wedding. We arrived at Fennes to find Debbie and the girls getting ready with the preparations well underway. We captured the moments as they were happening in the house, as well as watching for Dave and some of the Guests to arrive in a 1950’s bus! When Dave arrived, the bus made for a nice feature at the front of Fennes, for his pictures and his Groomsmen. Meanwhile Debbie was almost dressed and it wasn’t long before her Bridal portraits were taken. Debbie’s sons were going to escort her down the aisle, so once she was ready the boys saw her before they all came downstairs.
The Civil Ceremony was held in the Pavilion and after Debbie and Dave exchanged their vows, and formalities were finished, Debbie and Dave left the Pavilion and made their way to the front of Fennes.
Being such a lovely day everybody enjoyed the Drinks Reception outside in the brilliant sunshine. A short time later we took Debbie and Dave for stroll around the grounds for their pictures. As always with the Fennes Estate it was blessed with ample opportunities for pictures so we took a variety of shots before returning to the Drinks Reception.
Some requested family group pictures followed shortly with the Bridal Party pictures. The Wedding Breakfast and Speeches were held in the Pavilion. In the time after, before the start of the evening celebrations we took a couple shots outside. Debbie and Dave held their Evening Reception in the Marquee where they were joined by their Evening Guests. The Evening’s entertainment was provided by a Caricaturist and a Singer. The cutting of the Wedding Cake preceded the First Dance and shortly afterwards it was time for us to leave.

Wedding Photography Fennes – Jenna & Peter
Wedding Photography Fennes – It was a beautiful day when we arrived at The Fennes Estate for Jenna and Peter’s Wedding. Jenna was getting ready upstairs in the House, assisted by her Mum and the Bridemaids. All plans were going well and it wasn’t long before Jenna was ready to get dressed. As this was happening, David was photographing the men who were ready for their pictures. The grounds at Fennes looked splendid in the brilliant sunshine and provided a nice backdrop for Peter’s and his Groomsmen’s pictures. After Peter had met with some of the Guests and with the Registrars, he moved down into the Pavilion.
Once Jenna had seen the Registrars, it was time for the Civil Ceremony. With her Bridesmaids leading the way, Jenna and her Dad entered the Pavilion. After the Ceremony the Drinks Reception was held at the front of Fennes where Jenna and Peter mingled with their Guests for a little while. Jenna wanted a ‘heart’ everybody shot which were were happy to do, thank you to Nicola of Fennes for helping us! Following a few requested family group pictures and a break for Jenna and Peter, we took them over to the Bridge and around the grounds for their pictures, using the daffodils and blossom. 
Looking for some different pictures at our Weddings is our aim and it was nice to achieve this today. Jenna and Pete were then showered in confetti in the Gold Room before the Wedding Breakfast. 
We covered the Speeches which were before the evening reception. Whilst the Guests were arriving we managed to steal Jenna and Peter away for a very short time for a couple of evening pictures, finishing with a sunset picture or so we thought! This evening we had a full moon! Right time, right place, brilliant! Jenna and Peter’s First Dance followed and we took a few informal pictures of their evening guests. During the evening it was nice to see some familiar faces, and thank you to Katie and Gavin again for recommending us! A brilliant day and thank you to the staff and Fennes for looking after us as always.

When we arrived the bridal preparations were going well upstairs in the House providing some nice images. Meanwhile, Lee, his Best Man and his Ushers were finishing getting ready and when they were ready, their pictures were taken outside in front of Fennes.

Fennes Wedding Photography – Leanne & Darren
Fennes Wedding Photography – Leanne and Darren chose the popular and superb venue Fennes for their Wedding. We arrived at The Fennes Estate in plenty of time to capture the girls getting ready and the boys’ preparations. The Fennes Suite provided space for the majority of Leanne’s accessories to be photographed whilst the girls finished getting ready in the Bridal Room. Once Leanne was ready we took a few portraits of her, followed by some pictures with the Bridesmaids and Parents. Leanne then made her way down the stairs to be greeted by her Dad and met the Registrars. The Bridesmaids, Nicola and Vicki, the Bridesmaids with Sophia, the Flowergirl and Owen, the Pageboy, all waited in the Blue Room and we captured some nice informal pictures. Leanne entered the Pavilion for the Civil Ceremony to begin. It had been raining from the very start of the day and the forecast was not good so when the Ceremony finished, Leanne and Darren led their Guests to the front of the house for the Drinks Reception. One of the great features of Fennes for wedding photography is that we can get our job done whatever the weather! The Gold Room made a nice setting for the group pictures and after a few minutes they were complete. Fennes “Bridge” shot is a ‘must have’ and with Leanne and Darren really wanting this, off we went with brollies and wellies on! Brilliant results! A couple of pictures upstairs in Fennes were followed by confetti shots in the Gold Room, before the Wedding Breakfast. After the Speeches, having a little time before the evening celebrations, we found some other spots for Leanne and Darren’s pictures. Evening Guests arrived and with some informal pictures taken, it was soon time for the cake cutting and First Dance. Ending Leanne and Darren’s Wedding Day we did them a nightime picture to finish our coverage. A lovely couple and an amazing day! An extra special ‘thank you’ to Leanne and Darren for wanting their pictures and for their smiles all day long which helped our job, on what could have been a difficult day!
