Pre-Wedding Photos – Stephanie & Paul

Stephanie and Paul visited us one afternoon to up-date us on the details of their forthcoming Wedding at Fennes. It was an ideal opportunity to meet their children, Sienna and Evie, before the Wedding. We know from past experience that familiarising ourselves with younger children can make a big difference on the wedding day itself! It was a nice afternoon so we used our local River Walk to take a few pictures of them all and a few of Stephanie and Paul together. Stephanie and Paul are getting married at Fennes.

Fennes Wedding Photographs for Louisa and David

Fennes Wedding Photographs for Louisa and David

It was a day of changeable weather for when we went for Fennes Wedding Photographs for Louisa and David. Just after we arrived at the lovely Fennes, Louisa and the girls arrived with the Flowergirls. Giving them time to settle in we went off and took a few pictures of general details around Fennes. Returning to the girls little later, everything was going well, whilst David with his Groomsmen and boys were getting ready in the Bridal Cottage. The girls with their hair already finished then proceeded to get dressed. The men and boys were ready for some pictures first, so we got on with taking theirs. Leaving them to talk to the Guests, it was now time to turn all our attention to Louisa and the girls. After a few pictures, we had enough time to take a few bridal portraits of Louisa, before it was time for them all to go downstairs.The sudden shower of rain put paid to the outside Ceremony which the Fennes Staff had to quickly rearrange indoors. Clark, Louisa and David’s son, was giving Louisa away and did a grand job of escorting her down the aisle. Following the Ceremony, the rain had stopped and it brightened up so we were able to take the requested family pictures outside. It was a good job we did them then because as we finished the big group picture it started to rain again! We captured some informal pictures of the Drinks Receptions inside and took Louisa and David into the Library for a few pictures of the two of them.It was one of those days where the sun then came out again so we managed a couple of outdoor pictures also. Just before the Wedding Breakfast everyone showered confetti over Louisa and David. Following the Wedding Breakfast, it was time for the Speeches. After David’s Speech, Clark said more than a few words which he delivered very well indeed, emotions were running high! It turned out to be a lovely evening weather wise, garden games were available for those that wanted to play them, whilst others walked around the nice grounds of Fennes. Louisa and David had a couple of pictures taken on the bridge before a couple of pictures with all their children, Millie, Taylor, Samuel and Clark. The cake cutting and First Dance took place in the Pavilion. Finishing our coverage of Louisa and David’s Wedding Day we took a couple of night shots, as well as the’heart’shot. A wonderful set of Fennes Wedding Photographs for Louisa and David and a wonderful day.

Fennes Wedding Photographs for Joanne and Keiran

Fennes Wedding Photographs for Joanne and Keiran

It was a nice day when we arrived at Fennes for Jo and Keiran’s Fairytale Wedding. Jo was getting ready there, so after saying ‘hello’ and a quick chat to the girls, we got on with taking general preparation shots. Joanne’s Wedding Dress and Accessories were in the Fennes Suite so we made sure we took pictures of these before Jo dressed in them. The Bridesmaids and Mum then assisted Joanne with putting her dress on. We took a couple of pictures including the first time Joanne’s Father saw his daughter in her Wedding Dress before we all went downstairs into the Gold Room. That is a nice option when getting ready at Fennes then leaving for the service elsewhere, no guests to see the Bride! After a a few pictures of Joanne and her Bridesmaids, it was time for the Bridesmaids to leave in the Horse & Carriage for St Mary’s Church, Bocking. There was a little time for us to take a few Bridal portraits of Joanne, who looked beautiful, and a couple of pictures with her Parents before it was time for us to leave. Arriving at St. Mary’s Church, the men were carrying out their duties. Knowing the Horse and Carriage was on the way back to Fennes to pick up Joanne and her Father we got on with taking pictures of Keiran with his Groomsmen and Parents, safe in the knowledge that Jo was not going to appear! They then resumed their duties whilst we took a few Guest arrival pictures. Joanne arrived and together with her Bridesmaids walked up the path to the Church for the service. This Wedding service will be remembered for a long time to come! Joanne and Keiran’s Wedding had a ‘Disney’ Theme running throughout and the Vicar played his part! With everybody listening to what the Vicar was saying about Joannne and Keiran, nobody expected him then to burst into the disney song ‘When you wish upon a Star”. A wonderful performance! Some lovely captured moments of surprise for everyone and tears of joy from Joanne! After the service Joanne and Keiran went outside, greeted a few Guests before we got on with a few requested family pictures. Once these were finished, Guests made their way down the path to the entrance gate ready for the confetti throwing. Afterwards it was time to go to Fennes for the Reception. During the Drinks Reception as well as taking some informal pictures of Guests we took a few other pictures and had time for a few pictures of Joanne and Keiran. It started to rain just as we finished the pictures, the Bride and Groom were really lucky! Whilst the Guests made their way down to the Pavilion for the Wedding Breakfast, Jo and Keiran chilled out in the Red Room where we took a shot of them just as they were! The Speeches followed the meal, some brilliant reactions! Later they cut their Wedding Cake and had their First Dance. After taking a few evening pictures we made ourselves scarce so as not to spoil the surprise. There was going to be a Firework display a little later on. Fortunately, when the time came the rain had stopped so everyone could go outside and watch the fabulous display. Happy with our fireworks pictures and after saying our goodbyes we left them to carry on the celebrations. It was a pleasure being part of Joanne and Keiran’s special day, a lovely couple, and thank you both for wanting the pictures. It was nice working with Nicola at Fennes and working with Simply Wedding Movies again.

Wedding Photographer Fennes for Lindsay & Dane

Wedding Photographer Fennes

It was a lovely day when we arrived at Fennes for Lindsay and Dane’s Wedding. On arriving at Fennes, we just followed the sound of chatter and laughter which was happening in the Bridal Room. Preparations were going well especially with lots of Bridesmaids and a Flowergirl. Leaving the girls for a few minutes to carry on we went into Fennes Suite where we took pictures of the Lindsay’s Wedding Dress and accessories. Dane was making his final preparations at Fennes with his Ushers and Groomsmen. When Dane was ready, looking very dapper, together with his Best Man, Ushers and Groomsmen, they had a few pictures taken in front of the house. Lindsay wanted to go for a ride with her Father in the Horse and Carriage before the Ceremony, so hats off to all the girls, they were all ready on time for that and we were able to take some pictures beforehand. Returning from their ride, Lindsay then met with the Registrars before re-joining her Father and they walked through Fennes to the Pavilion. After the finish of the Ceremony, Lindsay and Dane went for a ride in the Horse and Carriage whilst their Guests socialised in the Drinks Reception. Whilst waiting for them to return, we took some relaxed pictures of the Guests. Once Lindsay and Dane returned and they had time to mingle with their Guests we got on with the requested family pictures. Having a little time before the Wedding Breakfast we managed to squeeze in some fun pictures of the Bridal Party, together pictures of Lindsay and Dane, finishing with confetti pictures. The Speeches followed the Wedding Breakfast which we covered and later during the evening Reception we took a couple of pictures of Lindsay and Dane around Fennes. Later, their Guests enjoyed Lindsay and Dane’s rehearsed First Dance and we left them to continue to the party afterwards. Thank you to Sharyn and everyone at Fennes for looking after us.

Fennes Wedding Photography for Natalie & Craig

Fennes Wedding Photography for Natalie & Craig

The wonderful Fennes was the choice of Wedding Venue for Natalie and Craig’s Wedding. An outside Ceremony was what Natalie and Craig were wishing for, so it was fingers crossed the weather would hold. Natalie was getting ready upstairs with the help of her Bridesmaids, so first of all we went to see them. Craig was getting ready in the Bridal Cottage with his son Max, and when they were in the final stages of getting ready we were there to take the pictures. Prior to Natalie and Craig’s Wedding Day, Natalie had dislocated her Collar bone so she was trying not to use her arm very much! Once the men were ready they had a few pictures taken outside Fennes before they went about their duties.

Natalie and the girls were now ready and after her Stepdad saw her for the first look we took a few pictures of them all before it was time for Natalie to see the Registrars. So far the weather was staying fine, maybe a little cooler that recently but nothing to stop the outdoor Ceremony. The Guests were seated and with everyone in place it was time for Natalie to walk the short distance to the Gazebo. Natalie and Craig’s dog led the way, carrying the rings! The rain stayed away, just! After the Ceremony the Guests enjoyed the Drinks Reception with some going inside and others staying outside eating ice cream! Later we got on with taking the requested family group pictures followed by a few pictures of Natalie and Craig around the grounds. Natalie wanted to be held up for a picture, the men and Max did this very carefully! The Wedding Breakfast was held in the Pavilion, followed by the Speeches. After the Speeches there was a little time before the start of the evening celebrations for a few relaxed pictures of Natalie and Craig in the Gold Room and Red Room at the front of the House. The cutting of the cake followed and then Natalie and Craig took to the dance floor for their First Dance. Our day ended with an evening pictures of Natalie and Craig on the Bridge. A lovely day! Thank you to Sue and all at Fennes for looking after us.

Fennes Wedding Photography for Stacey & Michael

Fennes Wedding Photography for Stacey & Michael

Fennes is a beautiful setting for a Wedding and it looked wonderful as we arrived for Stacey and Michael’s Wedding in May. Stacey was getting ready upstairs in the House and Michael was getting ready in the Lodges. Stacey and Michael’s sons, Noah and Harry were with their Daddy, with the plan that they joined Stacey once she was dressed. Preparations were going well and they were all very relaxed.

Michael, his Best Man, Ushers and the boys had a few photos taken when they were ready. Noah and Harry then went upstairs to the Bridal Room to see their Mummy, who looked amazing! After taking some pictures of them all, it was time to go downstairs where Stacey met with the Registrars. The Registrars made their way outside for the Ceremony and Stacey took her father’s arm and went into the Gold Room ready to walk outside. Noah and Harry happily led the way and during the Ceremony they handed over the rings. Following the Ceremony, everyone enjoyed the Drinks Reception, the children were blowing bubbles, whilst adults mingled. In between we took some requested family pictures and later on managed to find time for some pictures of Stacey and Michael. It was soon time for the Wedding Breakfast which was held in the Pavilion. After the Speeches, there were garden games in the grounds which kept everybody entertained. Making the most of the evening sunshine Guests enjoyed strolling around the grounds which gave us the opportunity of taking some evening pictures of Stacey and Michael. When the Evening Guests arrived Stacey and Michael cut their Wedding Cake, which was followed by their First Dance. Stacey and Michael provided their Guests props for ‘fun pictures’ which we captured. A nice day provided a lovely sunset picture. We took our leave a little while later. A wonderful day!

Non-Sharing Wedding Photography

Non-Sharing Wedding Photography

Occasionally and for a wide variety of reasons, we photograph Weddings where the couple request we keep their pictures private and not share them online or use them in anyway. Of course when requested to do this we will comply. Therefore, here is a lovely picture of the superb Wedding Venue from earlier in the year and as the couple have requested us not to use their pictures, that is all we can do do for this wedding!,
