Wedding Photography Fennes for Natalie and Matthew – It was a beautiful day when we arrived at Fennes, Bocking, for the Wedding of Natalie and Matthew. Preparations were going well with the girls and all things were running smoothly. The Fennes Estate looked superb and when Matthew and his Groomsmen arrived we took advantage of the setting for their pictures. Once the girls were ready, we took a few portraits before it was time for the Civil Ceremony. 
Natalie and Matthew chose to have their Wedding Ceremony in the Pavilion, which as usual looked lovely. Afterwards, everybody made their way outside at the front of Fennes for the Drinks Reception. After the requested family group pictures were taken, the Guests were left to enjoy the Drinks Reception for a few minutes in the warm sunshine, while we took Natalie and Matthew for their pictures. 
Using the remaining bluebells for some of their together pictures worked very well before they returned to join the guests. 
With a few fun Bridal Party pictures done, it was then time for the Receiving Line and the Wedding Breakfast. After the speeches there was enough time before the Evening Reception for us to take some images of Natalie and Matthew in the Gold Room and by the Bridal Cottage. With their Evening Guests arriving we took a few informal pictures of them before and after the First Dance. We finished our coverage of Natalie and Matthew’s Wedding with a sunset picture and one under the illuminated pergola.

Wedding Photography Fennes, Essex for Debbie & Dave
Wedding Photography Fennes, Essex – The Fennes Estate was the chosen Venue for Debbie and Dave’s Civil Ceremony Wedding. We arrived at Fennes to find Debbie and the girls getting ready with the preparations well underway. We captured the moments as they were happening in the house, as well as watching for Dave and some of the Guests to arrive in a 1950’s bus! When Dave arrived, the bus made for a nice feature at the front of Fennes, for his pictures and his Groomsmen. Meanwhile Debbie was almost dressed and it wasn’t long before her Bridal portraits were taken. Debbie’s sons were going to escort her down the aisle, so once she was ready the boys saw her before they all came downstairs.
The Civil Ceremony was held in the Pavilion and after Debbie and Dave exchanged their vows, and formalities were finished, Debbie and Dave left the Pavilion and made their way to the front of Fennes.
Being such a lovely day everybody enjoyed the Drinks Reception outside in the brilliant sunshine. A short time later we took Debbie and Dave for stroll around the grounds for their pictures. As always with the Fennes Estate it was blessed with ample opportunities for pictures so we took a variety of shots before returning to the Drinks Reception.
Some requested family group pictures followed shortly with the Bridal Party pictures. The Wedding Breakfast and Speeches were held in the Pavilion. In the time after, before the start of the evening celebrations we took a couple shots outside. Debbie and Dave held their Evening Reception in the Marquee where they were joined by their Evening Guests. The Evening’s entertainment was provided by a Caricaturist and a Singer. The cutting of the Wedding Cake preceded the First Dance and shortly afterwards it was time for us to leave.

Wedding Photography Fennes – Jenna & Peter
Wedding Photography Fennes – It was a beautiful day when we arrived at The Fennes Estate for Jenna and Peter’s Wedding. Jenna was getting ready upstairs in the House, assisted by her Mum and the Bridemaids. All plans were going well and it wasn’t long before Jenna was ready to get dressed. As this was happening, David was photographing the men who were ready for their pictures. The grounds at Fennes looked splendid in the brilliant sunshine and provided a nice backdrop for Peter’s and his Groomsmen’s pictures. After Peter had met with some of the Guests and with the Registrars, he moved down into the Pavilion.
Once Jenna had seen the Registrars, it was time for the Civil Ceremony. With her Bridesmaids leading the way, Jenna and her Dad entered the Pavilion. After the Ceremony the Drinks Reception was held at the front of Fennes where Jenna and Peter mingled with their Guests for a little while. Jenna wanted a ‘heart’ everybody shot which were were happy to do, thank you to Nicola of Fennes for helping us! Following a few requested family group pictures and a break for Jenna and Peter, we took them over to the Bridge and around the grounds for their pictures, using the daffodils and blossom. 
Looking for some different pictures at our Weddings is our aim and it was nice to achieve this today. Jenna and Pete were then showered in confetti in the Gold Room before the Wedding Breakfast. 
We covered the Speeches which were before the evening reception. Whilst the Guests were arriving we managed to steal Jenna and Peter away for a very short time for a couple of evening pictures, finishing with a sunset picture or so we thought! This evening we had a full moon! Right time, right place, brilliant! Jenna and Peter’s First Dance followed and we took a few informal pictures of their evening guests. During the evening it was nice to see some familiar faces, and thank you to Katie and Gavin again for recommending us! A brilliant day and thank you to the staff and Fennes for looking after us as always.

Fennes Wedding Photography – Leanne & Darren
Fennes Wedding Photography – Leanne and Darren chose the popular and superb venue Fennes for their Wedding. We arrived at The Fennes Estate in plenty of time to capture the girls getting ready and the boys’ preparations. The Fennes Suite provided space for the majority of Leanne’s accessories to be photographed whilst the girls finished getting ready in the Bridal Room. Once Leanne was ready we took a few portraits of her, followed by some pictures with the Bridesmaids and Parents. Leanne then made her way down the stairs to be greeted by her Dad and met the Registrars. The Bridesmaids, Nicola and Vicki, the Bridesmaids with Sophia, the Flowergirl and Owen, the Pageboy, all waited in the Blue Room and we captured some nice informal pictures. Leanne entered the Pavilion for the Civil Ceremony to begin. It had been raining from the very start of the day and the forecast was not good so when the Ceremony finished, Leanne and Darren led their Guests to the front of the house for the Drinks Reception. One of the great features of Fennes for wedding photography is that we can get our job done whatever the weather! The Gold Room made a nice setting for the group pictures and after a few minutes they were complete. Fennes “Bridge” shot is a ‘must have’ and with Leanne and Darren really wanting this, off we went with brollies and wellies on! Brilliant results! A couple of pictures upstairs in Fennes were followed by confetti shots in the Gold Room, before the Wedding Breakfast. After the Speeches, having a little time before the evening celebrations, we found some other spots for Leanne and Darren’s pictures. Evening Guests arrived and with some informal pictures taken, it was soon time for the cake cutting and First Dance. Ending Leanne and Darren’s Wedding Day we did them a nightime picture to finish our coverage. A lovely couple and an amazing day! An extra special ‘thank you’ to Leanne and Darren for wanting their pictures and for their smiles all day long which helped our job, on what could have been a difficult day!

Fennes Wedding Photography – Olivia & Jon
It was a beautiful day for the Wedding of Olivia and Jon at The Fennes Estate, Bocking. Just following the sound of laughter and excitement when we arrived to where the girls were getting ready, set the tone for the day! With lots going on, it was a busy start, not forgetting Jon with his Groomsmen getting ready as well. Time as usual was going very quickly but we were able to get a few pictures of the girls before it was time to go downstairs. With Olivia and Jon’s Wedding Guests seated outside ready for Civil Ceremony, Olivia took her Father’s arm and made her way through the Gold Room and out into the sunshine, to where Jon was waiting for her in the Gazebo. After the Ceremony, Olivia and Jon enjoyed a little time socialising with their Guests before it was time to take the requested family group pictures, followed by the everybody shot. During the Drinks Reception we took some great fun shots and a few pictures of Olivia and Jon around the splendid grounds of Fennes. The Gold Room provided the setting for the confetti pictures before the Wedding Breakfast. Speeches followed before Guests went outside to enjoy the evening sunshine. Shortly before the first dance we took Olivia and Jon for a few pictures with the spectacular sunset. Later, Olivia and her Bridesmaids performed a surprise dancing routine, which resulted with Jon and the men giving a reply! A lovely day, a lovely couple and great to work with Iain Wagstaff, the Videographer again.

Fennes Estate Wedding Photography for Sianie & Damien
The sun was shining when we arrived at Fennes for the Wedding of Sianie and Damien. Sianie was upstairs getting ready with her Mum and sisters, Rochelle and Chenelle, who were the Bridesmaids. Preparations were going well, fun and laughter was in abundance and we captured some nice images. Meanwhile, Damien was getting reading in the Cottage with their son Boyce, so we were able to take a few pictures of them as well. Once the girls were ready we took a few pictures, before it was time for them to make their way downstairs to go outside for the Civil Ceremony. Fennes provides a beautiful setting for an outdoor Ceremony and makes for some lovely pictures. Sianie and Damien left the ceremony with their son which made some nice pictures of them leading their Guests to the Drinks Reception.
After a short break for Sianie and Damien, we took them for a few pictures on the Bridge and around the grounds before returning to take the requested family group pictures.
A little while later we caught up on some guys, girls, and fun group pictures, before the confetti pictures. Following the Wedding Breakfast and the Speeches, Sianie and Damien enjoyed the evening sunshine in the gardens with their Guests before a few pictures of them in the House and finishing their pictures with a marvellous sunset.
With everybody returning to the Pavilion for the First Dance, the later stages of Sianie and Damien’s wonderful Wedding Day continued.
