  • Vaulty Manor Wedding Photography for Sarah & David

    Well, we had been keeping our fingers crossed for a long while for Sarah and David’s Wedding Day. Postponements, weather, hoping to be Covid free, were only a few things we were concerned about! Not only were we Sarah and David’s Wedding Photographers, but Guests at their Wedding, Grandparents to the Flowergirl and Pageboy and consequently knew many people at the Wedding!

    An early start was the order for the day and what a beautiful day it was with it being very warm indeed!Preparations were going very well, timekeeping was spot on (thank you Katie (daughter-in-law)! Sarah was soon ready and looked fabulous! Pictures were taken before we left,inside and outside. A lovely garden Michael!

    Time for us to depart for St Mary The Virgin, High Easter. Guests were arriving and it was good to find a bit of shade now the sun had come out for some arrival shots. Time to get on with some pictures of David and his Groomsmen before they disappeared into the Church.

    Sarah arrived and entered the Church. Only one Grandchild shout out of ‘Grandad’ in the Church, that was good for us trying to be discreet as usual! Requested Group pictures outside the church were taken, then all off to Vaulty Manor, Heybridge.

    A great afternoon was had at Vaulty Manor with relaxation in full swing. Capturing a few pictures of the happy couple during the afternoon we were able to do, knowing there would be more later in the evening light.

    The Wedding Breakfast and Speeches were later, with everyone then enjoying the wonderful weather outside, having fun. Johnny B Goode were the entertainers for the evening and we all know how good they are! Dancing carried on all evening interrupted only by Sparklers.

    Well, what an amazing day! Sarah and David, thank you so much for such a memorable day.. Thank you also Sarah and David for letting our trainee Kieron be there with us at the Church and gain some invaluable experience.

  • Vaulty Manor Wedding Photographer for Katie & Howard

    Vaulty Manor Wedding Photographer – Arriving at Katie’s Parents’ house, preparations were going well.  Timings were spot on, giving us time to photograph everything we needed to. Predicted weather for the weather later on was not brilliant so we took the opportunity of going outside for the pictures of Katie, Bridesmaids and Parents.   This worked well as one of the Flowergirls and the Pageboy were unwell and disappointed that they could not come to the Wedding, but were well enough to have a couple of pictures of taken in the garden with Katie.  We then left to go to Vaulty Manor, Hebridge.  With the weather still holding we managed to take pictures of Howard and his Groomsmen outside before they were needed.  As Katie approached the driveway into Vaulty Manor, the heavens opened! After seeing the Registrars and inside Vaulty Manor, Katie took her Father’s arm and walked into the Ceremony Room.

During the Reception we took some informal pictures before going outside for a couple of pictures of Katie and Howard.  Bearing in mind it was pouring, Katie and Howard wanted to go outside.  With minimum fuss and organisation we captured some nice pictures. Wedding Photographer Essex The Wedding Breakfast took place in the Barn and towards the end the rain stopped and the sun came out.  A short while later Katie, Howard and ourselves made the most of a nice evening, achieving some wonderful results.

  • Wedding Photography Vaulty Manor for Gemma & Ben

    Wedding Photography Vaulty Manor – It was a beautiful day for Gemma and Ben’s Wedding at Vaulty Manor, Heybridge, Maldon.  When we arrived the Gemma and the girls were getting ready in the Bridal Cottage.  Everything was well organised and going to plan, which enabled us to capture the special moments.  During this time the Ben and his Groomsmen had arrived so they had a few pictures taken in the grounds before they carried out their various duties. Once Gemma was ready, she looked amazing, we took a few pictures of her and the girls just before they made the short walk to the Barn.  With the Guests seated, it was time for the Civil Ceremony.

Gemma and Ben’s children, Braiden and Maisey-Rose,  enjoyed the open space to go and play with the other children at the wedding. We took some informal pictures during the drinks followed by a few requested family groups and some brilliant fun Bridal Party pictures.
