  • Vaulty Manor Wedding Photography for Sarah & David

    Well, we had been keeping our fingers crossed for a long while for Sarah and David’s Wedding Day. Postponements, weather, hoping to be Covid free, were only a few things we were concerned about! Not only were we Sarah and David’s Wedding Photographers, but Guests at their Wedding, Grandparents to the Flowergirl and Pageboy and consequently knew many people at the Wedding!

    An early start was the order for the day and what a beautiful day it was with it being very warm indeed!Preparations were going very well, timekeeping was spot on (thank you Katie (daughter-in-law)! Sarah was soon ready and looked fabulous! Pictures were taken before we left,inside and outside. A lovely garden Michael!

    Time for us to depart for St Mary The Virgin, High Easter. Guests were arriving and it was good to find a bit of shade now the sun had come out for some arrival shots. Time to get on with some pictures of David and his Groomsmen before they disappeared into the Church.

    Sarah arrived and entered the Church. Only one Grandchild shout out of ‘Grandad’ in the Church, that was good for us trying to be discreet as usual! Requested Group pictures outside the church were taken, then all off to Vaulty Manor, Heybridge.

    A great afternoon was had at Vaulty Manor with relaxation in full swing. Capturing a few pictures of the happy couple during the afternoon we were able to do, knowing there would be more later in the evening light.

    The Wedding Breakfast and Speeches were later, with everyone then enjoying the wonderful weather outside, having fun. Johnny B Goode were the entertainers for the evening and we all know how good they are! Dancing carried on all evening interrupted only by Sparklers.

    Well, what an amazing day! Sarah and David, thank you so much for such a memorable day.. Thank you also Sarah and David for letting our trainee Kieron be there with us at the Church and gain some invaluable experience.

  • Vaulty Manor Wedding Photographer for Lyndsay & Terry

    It was nice to be back again taking photography at Vaulty Manor for the Wedding of Lyndsay and Terry. On arrival at Vaulty Manor we went to see the girls in the cottage.  Hair and make up was being done and with lots of Bridesmaids and Mother of the Bride to do, it was a  hive of activity! Saying that, there was no stress and all plans were going well. Terry and his Groomsmen were getting ready at Vaulty Manor as well, so it was nice to take a wander to the rooms they were using to  capture a flavour of their preparation shots.  Samuel, Lyndsay and Terry’s son was with his Dad getting dressed. Once they were all ready we took some pictures of them.  Samuel who was a Pageboy then came over to where Lyndsay was.  Samuel, who looked very smart was joined by the Flowergirls who looked lovely.

There was enough time to take a few other pictures once they were all in their wedding attire. As the Guests made their way into Vaulty Manor for the Ceremony, Lyndsay met with the Registrars. Afterwards the Flowergirls led the way into the Ceremony, followed by the Bridesmaids, Pageboys and finally Lyndsay with her Father. After exchanging their vows and receiving their rings from Samuel they completed the ceremony. Lindsay and Terry stepped outside, followed by their Guests. Lindsay and Terry were  then showered in confetti. During the Drinks Reception  we got on with taking the requested group and family pictures. There was time for Lyndsay and Terry to enjoy the Drinks Reception and talk to their Guests whilst we took some candid Guest pictures.  Lots of laughter later could be heard for the fun Bridal Party pictures. For Lyndsay and Terry’s ‘together’pictures we went off for a few minutes around the grounds of Vaulty Manor.Vaulty Manor Wedding Photographer On our return it was time for the Wedding Breakfast followed by the Speeches. Master of Ceremonies for Lyndsay and Joe’s Wedding Day was the Singer and Entertainer Joe Fryd It was nice to see Joe again and the Wedding party were in for a treat! Joe introduced the Speeches and afterwards  everyone went outside whilst the barn was set up and Joe finished setting up his musical entertainment for the evening. There were garden games to keep people entertained and we took the advantage of a nice evening for a few extra pictures of Lyndsay and Terry.Essex Wedding Photographer Vaulty Manor When all was ready, Lyndsay and Terry cut their Wedding Cake and then had their First Dance.

    Vaulty Manor Wedding Photography for Joanne & Barry

    Our Vaulty Manor Wedding Photography for Joanne and Barry started in the morning at Joanne and Barry’s home. Jo was getting ready there with her Bridesmaids. All preparations were running smoothly and after taking pictures of Joanne’s dress and accessories, the girls got dressed.  Joanne’s Mother and Father arrived  with Mum then assisting Joanne with the final preparations.

Joanne arrived soon after and once she had seen the Registrars took her Father’s arm and with the Bridesmaids leading the way, followed them into Vaulty Manor. It was nice to see Susie (Registrar) again, we photographed her Wedding at Stock Brook Manor in 2006 and have also taken family pictures since. Civil Ceremony Wedding PhotographerAfter the Ceremony, the Guests went outside with hands full of confetti and waited for Joanne and Barry to appear. This they did, so after being covered in confetti we got on with taking the requested group pictures. Some fun Bridal pictures followed before Joanne and Barry had a few minutes to talk to their Guests.  The forecast was not good, so we had to keep things moving and we were aware we needed to take Joanne and Barry for their pictures.  Making sure we had brollies to hand, we went off around the grounds, achieving some nice pictures in the daffodils.Vaulty Manor Wedding Photography Finishing their pictures, the rain started to fall, and by the time Joanne and Barry were walking back to Vaulty Manor, that signalled the end of outside pictures for the day! The Greeting Line preceded the Wedding Breakfast with the Speeches following. The Best Man’s Speech was superb, very amusing and we captured some great reactions. During the evening we took a few pictures of Joanne and Barry upstairs in between the arrival of their evening Guests. Before the First Dance Joanne and Barry cut their Wedding Cake, then the Guests joined them on the dance floor. Not long afterwards, it was time for us to say goodbye.  A lovely day!
