Wedding Photographer Layer Marney for Julia & David

Wedding Photographer Layer Marney

It was a hot day for Julia and David’s Wedding Day at Layer Marney Tower, Layer-de-la-Haye. A late afternoon summer Wedding was what Julia and David chose. We arrived before Julia and David at Layer Marney and as the Wedding Guests arrived we took a few informal pictures. Julia and David arrived together and had a few requested pictures taken before it was time for them to see the Registrars. Julia and David then made their way into the Corsellis Room with their Flowergirl and Pageboys and greeted the Guests as they made their way to their seats. The Ceremony followed then Julia and David went for a drive together as their Guests enjoyed the Drinks Reception outside in the grounds. Returning from their drive, Julia and David walked up towards the Tower and socialised with their Guests. Managing our time well we took various requested pictures as well as capturing a flavour of the day. Before the Wedding Breakfast we took Julia and David for a quick walk around the grounds for a few pictures of them together, including a couple of pictures in the Barn. Pictures with the cake followed before the children enjoyed throwing confetti over Julia and David on the stairs. With time upon us it was time for the Wedding Breakfast in the Long Gallery and time for us to say goodbye.

Wedding Photography at Layer Marney Tower for Victoria & Paul

Wedding Photography at Layer Marney – It was a beautiful day for Victoria and Paul’s Wedding at Layer Marney Tower. First of all we arrived at where Victoria, her Parents and Deb, her Matron of Honour were getting ready. Everything was going well and Victoria was having the final touches applied to her make-up by her make-up artist Dawn Taylor

Once everybody was ready we went outside and took a few pictures amongst the trees, before leaving to go to Layer Marney Tower, Layer de la Haye. We met Paul together with his Best Man, Richard, and took a couple of pictures before they greeted the Wedding Guests. Victoria arrived shortly afterwards in the Layer Marney Rolls Royce and made her way up to the Corsellis Room. After the Civil Ceremony Victoria and Paul went for a short ride whilst their Guests enjoyed the Drinks Reception and ice creams from the ice cream cart, perfect on a very warm day! We took some lovely pictures of Victoria and Paul when they arrived back from their ride in the car and walked up the path to the Tower which was bathed in sunshine. Layer Marney Tower was open so we took a couple of pictures of the two of them there before they socialised with their Guests. After a little while we got on with the family group pictures and Victoria and Paul’s together pictures around the grounds. Just before the Wedding Breakfast Victoria and Paul were showered with confetti before being announced in for the Wedding Breakfast. After the meal it was time for speeches. It was decided as it was rather warm in the Long Gallery the Speeches were held outside. This made for some different pictures, which added to Victoria and Paul’s Wedding Day. Well done to Richard, the Best Man, for his Speech, all in verse! After a lovely day, a fabulous sunset! This was followed by Victoria and Paul cutting their Wedding Cake before their First Dance. Later as a surprise to their Guests a firework display! A wonderful day!

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.
