    Smeetham Hall Barn Wedding Photography for Amy and Tom

    Smeetham Hall Barn Wedding Photography for Amy and Tom was on a lovely late spring day! We arrived at Amy’s Parents home first of all which was where Amy was getting ready with her Bridesmaids. The sun was shining and the forecast was it would be getting hotter as the day went on. Amy was in the final stages of her hair and make-up being finished so we got on with taking the pictures of Amy’s Wedding Dress and accessories. Ellie and Katie, the smaller Bridesmaids arrived a little later on. Once hair and make up ‘getting ready’ pictures were completed the girls watched as Amy opened her present from Tom. Time for the girls to get dressed and then Amy’s Mother, Lindsey, and Amy’s sister Robyn assisted Amy to get dressed. Amy looked wonderful! The garden looked fabulous and when Amy was ready we all went outside.Essex Wedding Photographer Although it was only late morning it was now very hot and sunny everywhere but we took some pictures outside. Finishing these we left to go to St Bartholomew’s Church, Wickham Bishops. Tom was there with his Grooomsmen together with Norah, their Flowergirl and Daniel, their Pageboy. There was lots to do at the Church as always but everything was running smoothly.  The Guests made their way into the Church for the service and it wasn’t long after that Amy arrived. During the service Daniel stepped up at the right time to hand over the Wedding Rings, a nice moment. After the service Amy and Tom came out of the Church, had a brief few minutes with their Guests before we got on with taking a few pictures.  These were kept to a minimum as space was limited, there were many Guests and there would be time to take some more at the Wedding Reception at Smeetham Hall Barn. So, as the Guests threw confetti over Amy and Tom as they left the Church, Ian of Nixons Cars was waiting to take them on their journey.St Bartholomews Church Wedding Photographer Essex Smeetham Hall Barn looked absolutely wonderful as we arrived, basked in sunshine!

  • Forrester Park Wedding Photography for Carly & Craig

    Forrester Park Wedding Photographyh – Carly’s Bridal preparations were well underway when we arrived to photograph them on the morning of her Wedding to Craig at St Bartholomews Church, Wickham Bishops.  Whilst taking some accessories pictures as well as the ‘getting ready’pictures, not on the cards for the day, the heavens opened!  Fortunately it didn’t last very long and after taking a few pictures of Carly with her Bridesmaids, Abi and Chelsea inside, we stepped outside for the rest. Leaving Carly, we went to St Bartholomews Church, Wickham Bishop, arriving just as Craig with his Parents, Best Men and Ushers arrived.  This allowed us to get some great informal pictures of them before the more arranged portraits.

Forrester Park Wedding PhotographersForrester Park is between Maldon and Tiptree, Essex, near the village of Great Totham and was the chosen Wedding Venue for Carly and Craig’s Wedding Reception.  The Drinks Reception was held in the grounds of Forrester Park, with Guests looking for the shade as the sun was shining brightly and the temperature was rising! We captured some informal pictures during this time and in between took a few smaller group pictures and fun bridal party pictures.  Having a little time before the ‘everybody’ picture and the Wedding Breakfast, Carly, Craig and ourselves went for a quick walk around the grounds for a few pictures of them.  After the Wedding Breakfast and Speeches, everybody enjoyed the evening sunshine and the evening Guests joined them.  Carly and Craig asked to do some relaxed more informal pictures which were were more than happy to take so off we went for a little while.  What a fun time we had!
