Wedding Photography at Layer Marney Tower for Sarah & Les

Wedding Photography at Layer Marney Tower for Sarah and Les took place on a lovely summer’s day last year.

Sarah and Les decided to hold their Wedding Ceremony at the lovely Layer Marney Tower. They wanted a short photography coverage just enough to capture the Ceremony and then an hour or so afterwards.

We met Les first at Layer Marney Tower before the Guests arrived. After capturing a couple of pictures of him we took a few informal pictures of the Guests. Sarah arrived shortly afterwards. The Ceremony took place in The Corsellis Room.

Afterwards Sarah and Les with their family and friends enjoyed socialising in the grounds of Layer Marney. Sarah and Les requested a few family pictures which we did. A short walk around Layer Marney followed with Sarah, Les and ourselves.

A lovely relaxed afternoon gave us plenty of opportunity of capturing people pictures. Happy with our coverage we said our goodbyes.

Leaving the Church we went to Layer Marney Tower . Sarah and Jamie arrived at Layer Marney by the gate. It was such a lovely bright dry day we took a few pictures of the happy couple with the car and before they walked up the path to see their Guests.

Sarah and Jamie had some relaxing quality time with their Guests during the drinks reception. Everyone had been looking forward to this time together, so much to catch up on. During the afternoon, we took Sarah and Jamie for a brief walk around Layer Marney for a few pictures, we just had to have a picture with the beautiful tulips!

When it was time for the Wedding Breakfast, the Guests took their seats at the tables in the Long Gallery. Our coverage of Sarah and Jamie’s Wedding Day ended when Sarah and Jamie entered the room.

Layer Marney Tower Wedding Photography for Tara & Jordan

Layer Marney Tower Wedding Photography for Tara & Jordan

Tara and Jordan’s Layer Marney Tower Wedding Photography included a visit to St Mary’s Church, Layer Marney.

Our first port of call on the morning of the Wedding was at Tara and Jordan’s house. Tara, her Mother and Bridesmaids were getting ready. When we arrived hair and and make up was going on so after capturing a few shots of this happening we went upstairs to photograph Tara’s dress, shoes etc.

Once Tara was ready we took a couple of pictures of her before she walked downstairs to where the Bridesmaids were waiting for her. After a few pictures outside we left to go to the church.

At the Church

Tara and Jordan’s ceremony was to be in the lovely St Mary the Virgin Church in Layer Marney. Jordan and his Groomsmen were carrying out their duties when we arrived so in between we took their pictures. We captured a few documentary guest arrival pictures before Tara arrived.

Tara was escorted by her Mother and they walked up the path and into the Church. After exchanging vows Tara and Jordan signed the Register. It was nice to capture some informal pictures during this time.

After all the formalities and the end of the service, Tara and Jordan exited the Church. Their Guests had lined the path and as Tara and Jordan came down the path they were showered in confetti.

Layer Marney Tower Reception

Tara and Jordan then went for a short ride in the Layer Marney Rolls Royce car. Meanwhile the Wedding Guests slowly walked from the Church to Layer Marney Tower. It was a wonderful sight capturing all the people, colours, the weather of the day, merriment as they made their through the gates towards the tower.

Tara and Jordan returned shortly from their car ride and made their way through the gates and to the Tower.The Drinks Reception was in full swing. During the afternoon we took the requested family pictures together with a variety of other pictures. The Speeches took place outside on the steps and the Guests congregated on the lawn. It was a lovely idea and worked very well, relaxed and some nice pictures were taken. Time for the Hog Roast! The evening was superb, soft evening light, warm, everyone enjoying the wonderful grounds around Layer Marney. Whilst Tara and Jordan’s Guests were socialising we took the happy couple around the grounds for a few more pictures. The heat had gone out of the day and the sun was beginning to set. Some lovely pictures captured on the bridge finishing with a superb sunset.

Tara and Jordan then cut their Wedding Cake in the Long Gallery and then it was time for their First Dance. We finished coverage of Tara and Gordon’s Wedding Day with a nightime picture of the Tower.

A wonderful day of Layer Marney Tower Wedding Photography.

Wedding Photographer Layer Marney Tower for Stacey & Sam

Wedding Photographer Layer Marney Tower for Stacey & Sam

It was an early start for Stacey and Sam’s Wedding at Layer Marney Tower. Our first port of call was at Stacey’s Parents’ house where Stacey was getting ready. Stacey’s Bridesmaids were getting ready as well and all preparations were going well. We got on with taking pictures of Stacey’s accessories and details. Once the Bridesmaids and Orla the Flowergirl were ready we went into the garden as it was such a nice day to take some pictures. Stacey was soon ready as well and we were able to finish all the pictures.

Off to the wedding

We then headed off to Layer Marney Tower where the Wedding Ceremony was being held. Layer Marney Tower is a glorious setting for a Wedding and looked wonderful in the brilliant sunshine. Meeting with Sam we took a few pictures of him with his Best Man before they greeted the Guests. Some Guests arrived on the Layer Marney bus we captured their arrival. Sam went into the Corsellis Room which was where the Ceremony was taking place after having a brief chat with the Registrars. Meanwhile Stacey had arrived driven by Graham in the Layer Marney Tower. They then made their way into the building for the Ceremony stopping for a couple of quick pictures on the way. After the Ceremony Stacey and Sam went for a short ride whilst the Guests enjoyed the Drinks Reception in the grounds. When Stacey and Sam returned they were dropped at the bottom gate and walked up the path to the Tower watched by their Guests.

After the requested family group pictures Stacey and Sam enjoyed having social time to spend with their Guests. Later when we took Stacey and Sam for a few pictures around Layer Marney. The brilliant caricaturist Steve Hearn and the String Quartet entertained the Guests. Just before the Wedding Breakfast Breakfast in the Long Gallery, it was confetti time. Some nice pictures.

After The meal

After the meal it was time for the Speeches. With it being such a nice evening people made the most to by going outside. During the evening we took a few informal pictures and escaped for a few minutes to take Stacey and Sam around the front of Layer Marney. The bus was there so they had a few fun pictures with that as well before it was time for their cake cutting. Stacey and Sam’s First Dance followed.

We ended our coverage of Stacey and Sam’s Wedding Day with some fabulous sunset and Tower shots. Thank you Stacey and Sam for asking us to take your photographs of your Wedding. It was a lovely day spent with lovely people.

Layer Marney Tower Wedding Photography for Lucy & Joe

Layer Marney Tower Wedding Photography for Lucy & Joe

Layer Marney Tower Wedding Photography for Lucy and Joe was on a beautiful Spring Day. Our day started at Crowne Plaza Resort Five Lakes.Lucy and Joe were both getting ready. After saying ‘hello’ and a few words with Lucy and the girls, David went off to see Joe. I stayed with the Lucy and the girls and captured the action as it happened as well as taking pictures of the details and accessories. There was a lot going on but all was calm and collected. Joe had a couple of pictures taken before he and his Groomsmen left to go to St. Peters Church, Great Totham. Whilst this was happening Lucy and the girls were on the balcony in the room with their glasses of champagne having their picture taken before getting dressed. It was important for Lucy to see her Father’s reaction when she was dressed and the time as always was going very fast. With the help of her Mum and Bridesmaids this was achieved quickly and we had a little time for a few other pictures before we had to leave. St Peter’s Church, Great Totham was where the marriage was taking place and once we arrived we took some Guest arrival pictures, as well as a few of Joe and his Groomsmen.Waiting at the Church were the Flowergirl Estelle-Rose and Ben,the Pageboy, who were eager to see Lucy arrive at the Church gate. After getting a glimpse of her they rushed back to the Church Door to surprise her. The String Quartet played as Lucy then took her Father’s arm and went into the Church. Outside the Church after the service Lucy and Joe just wanted a few pictures taken as they wanted to get back to Layer Marney. The Guests climbed aboard the Layer Marney Bus as Lucy and Joe were driven to Layer Marney Tower. The Drinks Reception was held outside in front of the Tower so the Guests took a drink and when Lucy and Joe arrived at the bottom gate they made their way down there. Lucy and Joe wanted to walk upto the Tower with the Guests blowing bubbles over them and this is what happened.Some nice pictures. Lucy and Joe had time to spend with their Guests during the afternoon as well as us taking the requested family group pictures. During the afternoon Alan Nunn, the Magician and Arioso String Quartet provided the entertainment. Later whilst we took Lucy and Joe for a walk around the grounds of Layer Marney the children plus their Mums and Dads went into the Barn to see the lambs. If wanted they could give the lambs their milk which some did. When we returned the Guests made their way into the Long Gallery for the Wedding Breakfast. Lucy and Joe were announced in and they took their seats at the top table ready for the meal to be served. The Speeches followed and once this were finished we made a dash outside for the sunset. Phew! We just made it in time for some nice pictures. We finished with some evening pictures in front of the Tower before going inside. The Band was ready so Lucy and Joe took to the dance floor for their First Dance. After taking a few informal group pictures of the evening it was time for us to say our ‘goodbyes’. A long day but a most rewarding day and a nice Wedding. It was nice to see Julia of W. Flowers and to meet Michelle of Bumblebee bridal (little did we know at the time we would be seeing and working with each other on several Weddings this year!)
