  • Fennes Wedding – Caroline & Tom

    Fennes Wedding! At last! Our first Wedding of 2021 and it was extra special!

    Pandemic Delay

    Caroline and Tom had tried to get married on three previous dates! One of the previous dates was called of at 24 hours notice! Finally, with everybody’s fingers and toes crossed the marriage happened! What a day to choose, a very warm late spring day in May!

    Preparations

    We arrived at Fennes in the morning and met up with Caroline and Tom. Caroline was getting ready upstairs in Fennes with her Bridesmaids. Unbelievably Caroline and Tom’s Wedding Day had taken another turn!

    Caroline’s Bridesmaid and her family unfortunately were not able to attend the Wedding. This happens but Caroline’s Bridesmaid was also the Hairdresser! She was going to do all the hair requirements on the day! Fennes staff to the rescue! You can rely on them! Earlier in the morning they had found a substitute Hairdresser! Caroline just took it all in her stride, which was wonderful.

    The Ceremony was taking place outside and it the Gazebo looked lovely. Once Tom, his Best Man and Ushers were ready, we took a few pictures of them.

    Meeting Dad

    When Caroline was ready, her Dad made his way upstairs to see his daughter. A lovely moment. A few Bridal pictures were taken.

    The Ceremony at last!

    Caroline then came downstairs for the Fennes Wedding. Exiting from the Gold Room Caroline then made her way over to the Gazebo. Married at last!

    The pictures of Caroline, Tom and all their Guests after the completion of the formalities were fabulous. It was great to capture these moment pictures whilst Caroline and Tom were enjoying the time. A musician provided the entertainment for them all.

    Family Pictures

    A little later we got on with taking the requested family pictures. During the afternoon Caroline and Tom had plenty of time to themselves before we took them for a few minutes around the grounds of Fennes for their pictures.

    Wedding Breakfast

    The Wedding Breakfast was in the Pavilion. Speeches took place after the meal. Later we took a few pictures of Caroline and Tom in the House. First Dance was going to be outside on the new Patio Area. Once Caroline and Tom did their First Dance we finished up with an evening picture by the bridge.

    The end of our coverage of a very enjoyable relaxed Wedding for a lovely couple. Congratulations Caroline and Tom! It was well worth the wait! Huge thanks to Fennes, especially Sue and Sophie.

  • Fennes Covid-19 Wedding for Hillary & James

    This was our first Fennes Covid-19 Wedding. It was a different Wedding but nonetheless an amazing one! Hillary and James were due to get married in August this year in front of all their family and friends. Due to Covid-19 this could not happen. However they decided to get married on their chosen date in August anyway.

    No Guests!

    The big celebration will be next year when they can be with their family and friends. On this day they had no guests!

    Fennes Covid-19 Wedding

    Hillary and James’ Wedding Day was wonderful! The weather was fabulous allowing them to have an outside Wedding Ceremony.

    When David and I arrived at Fennes, Hillary and James were applying the finishing touches to the decoration of the new Gazebo. It looked beautiful! James then made sure ‘Zoom’ would work.

    Once Hillary and James were happy with all the arrangements we took a few pictures of both of them before the start of the Ceremony.

    The doors in the Gold Room opened, the music played and Hillary made her way down the steps and across the grass towards the Gazebo. The Ceremony was lovely. Hillary and James said their vows and exchanged Wedding rings.

    Special Witnesses!

    Hillary and James had asked David and I before their Wedding Day if we would be their Witnesses and we were very happy to be asked to carry out this for them. Wonderful!

    Time for some pictures

    Once the formalities were completed, Hillary and James enjoyed a celebratory drink! After a while we took Hillary and James for a stroll around the grounds.

    We made sure they had a variety of pictures taken inside and out but wanted to keep a few ideas for pictures next year.

    Hillary and James, you are a very lovely couple and the Wedding was wonderful! Thank you Hillary and James for asking us to photograph your Wedding and for being your Witnesses, we loved it! We are so looking forward to seeing you again next year!

    A huge ‘thank you’ to Kirsty and Sue of Fennes, for all your help in making Hillary and James’ Fennes Covid-19 Wedding such a success. No problems or worries, just joy! We love working with you!

  • Wedding Photography Fennes for Zarah & Glenn

    Wedding Photography Fennes – Zarah and Glenn chose to have their Wedding at the popular Wedding Venue, Fennes.  It was a warm and dry day when we arrived at Fennes, with the chairs set out for an outdoor Ceremony.  We went upstairs to find Zarah and the girls who were busy getting ready.  Whilst the girls were getting ready, we took pictures of the dresses and accessories, in the Fennes Suite.

    Wedding Photography Fennes Glenn with his Best Man and Ushers had arrived and were soon ready for their pictures.  As their pictures were being taken it started to rain.  This was not on the cards!  The shower of rain continued for a while, so the Ceremony was transferred to inside.  Upstairs Zarah and Glenn’s two sons, Jack & Teddy were looking very smart when they joined the girls upstairs.  Once the girls were finished dressing  we took  a few pictures before it was time for Zarah to make her way to the Pavilion for the Ceremony.  After the Ceremony the rain had stopped and it had dried up, so everybody went outside. The children enjoyed playing during the Drinks Reception and after taking the family pictures some fun time with the Bridal Party, resulted in some great images.  A quick walk around the grounds for Zarah and Glenn’s pictures was followed by the confetti pictures in the Gold Room. Wedding Photography Fennes After the Wedding Breakfast and coverage of the Speeches, before the evening Guests arrived, we took Zarah and Glenn for a few evening pictures around Fennes, including of course our signature Heart shot. Wedding Photography Fennes Zarah and Glenn’s took to the Dancefloor  for their First Dance after cutting their Wedding Cake.  A short time later we left them to continue the celebrations.  It was a pleasure to work with David of Rideout Productions again.
