Wedding Photography Layer Marney for Rebecca & James

Wedding Photography Layer Marney Tower– It was a lovely day for Rebecca and James’ Wedding. Our day started at the home of Rebecca’s Parents for a few preparation pictures followed by a few portrait pictures once everybody was ready. The garden proved to be a good spot for a few pictures before it was time to make our way to Layer Marney. Rebecca and James chose to have a Church Ceremony at Layer Marney Church and that is where we met James with his Groomsmen. In between the Groomsmen carrying out their duties and James greeting the Wedding Guests, some of whom travelled on the Layer Marney Routemaster bus, we managed to find a little time for a few pictures of them. Rebecca arrived not long afterwards in the Layer Marney Rolls Royce. Rebecca and her Bridesmaids then walked up the path and into the Church. Following the service there were a couple of pictures outside the church and the confetti shots. Rebecca and James went for a ride in the car, whilst their Guests walked the short distance from the Church up the path and steps to Layer Marney Tower, for the Drinks Reception.

The String Quartet provided the entertainment for the Guests in the sunshine.and it wasn’t long before the happy couple returned. With a few requested family group pictures to do we got on with them, followed later by some fun bridal party pictures, with the Flowergirls providing us with some extra fun pictures. Making sure Rebecca and James had time to talk to their Guests we just went for a short walk around Layer Marney with them for a few pictures. The Wedding Breakfast took place in the Long Gallery and was followed by the Speeches. Afterwards everybody enjoyed the evening sunshine before the start of the evening Reception. When it was time for the First Dance, Rebecca and James surprised their Guests with a superb rehearsed dance. With their dancing shoes on, their Guests then joined them on the dance floor. A firework display happened later on in the evening and that is when our coverage of this lovely day ended. It was nice to work with Emma Brooks,make up artist and Andrew of Crystal Clear and no doubt we will be working with them again soon.

Wedding Photography Layer Marney – Sophie & Glen

Layer Marney Tower was the Wedding Venue for Sophie and Glen’s Wedding. First of all we met Sophie at the Five Lakes, Crowne Plaza, Colchester, where she was staying and getting ready for her Wedding Day. After some pictures of the accessories and Sophie, her Bridesmaids and her Mum, it was time for us to leave for Layer Marney. The Guests who were staying at the Crowne Plaza, including Glen’s family over from New Zealand, took the Layer Marney bus to Layer Marney and as we were there before them we took a few pictures of them as they arrived. Having time, we took Glen, his Best Man, and Ushers around by the tower for their pictures. Sophie arrived soon after in the Layer Marney Rolls Royce and made her way to see the Registrars. All the Guests were seated and it was time for the Ceremony, so Sophie entered the Corsellis Room with her Mother giving her away. Immediately after the Ceremony, Sophie and Glen went for a ride in the car whilst their Guests were served with drinks. On their return after a couple of pictures of them with the car, their Guests greeted Sophie and Glen as they walked up path. In between social time for Sophie and Glen we took some family group pictures. During the afternoon Sophie and Glen had their pictures around the grounds of Layer Marney as well as inside the Long Gallery. Before long it was time for the Speeches. Sophie and Glen decided to have these before the start of the Wedding Breakfast. With a little time afterwards, this allowed for a few evening pictures before the First Dance. Our day finished with a night picture on the steps of Layer Marney.

It was a lovely day when we arrived at Laura’s family home for the bridal preparations. With lots going on there was plenty to photograph including pictures of the girls with the Camper Vans, before leaving to go to St Peter & St Paul’s Church,West Mersea. Following the Church Service, we took some requested family group pictures as well as a couple of pictures of Laura and Mark. Layer Marney Tower was was the venue chosen for the Reception by Laura and Mark and as always proved to be a good choice. Unbeknown to Mark, his Classic Ford Escort Rally car was at Layer Marney, a surprise by one of his brothers who had restored it for him! A Drinks Reception was held in the grounds,whilst we created some relaxed bridal party pictures together with a few portraits of Laura and Mark around Layer Marney, including the Lake and Barn. Speeches followed the Wedding Breakfast, before a couple of evening sunset pictures of Laura and Mark before their First Dance, which is where we took our leave.
