Leez Priory Wedding Photography for Nicola & Gary. The Wedding was held at Leez Priory, Chelmsford in March 2019. It was a beautiful day, cool, bright but windy.
Nicola was getting ready with her Bridesmaids when we arrived. Off we went to see her.
Nicola and the girls were having a lovely time with plenty of laughter about. Gary was in the cottage getting ready with his Groomsmen and equally having a great time with their preparations.
After reading his card from Nicola and once Gary was suited and booted, his pictures as well as pictures with him and the Groomsmen were taken outside the house.
Nicola had read her card from Gary and was soon getting dressed assisted by her Mother and the Bridesmaids were nearly ready.
Guests were arriving and they socialised in the Bar area. Soon it was time for all the Guests to make their way to the Great Hall and take their seats. Upstairs we were getting on with Nicola’s Pictures. Nicola looked amazing!
The Proud Father
Nicola’s Father was downstairs and looked totally proud and extremely happy to be Father of the Bride! As the Guests were all seated in the Great Hall it was soon time for the Ceremony. Following the Ceremony, the Drinks Reception was held inside Leez Priory, although dry it was quite cold outside.
The Formal Pictures
Later everybody assembled outside for a group picture before returning inside for the remainder of the pictures. Using the Light Oak Room as a backdrop for some of the family pictures was fine.
Taking a break afterwards allowed us some time for cathcing up with taking some informal pictures around. Before it was time for the Wedding Breakfast we whisked Nicola and Gary off for a short while for their pictures around the grounds. We kept the time short as possible as it was rather cold and windy. I could not believe what a stunning job Nicola’s friend, who is a hairdresser, achieved. Nicola’s hair looked wonderful early on and remained so for the remainder of the afternoon, despite the strength of the wind!
The Wedding Portraits
The Evening Celebrations
With a variety of pictures taken in a short space of time we returned to the House. It wasn’t very long before the Guests made their way up from the House to the Coach House followed by Nicola and Gary, for the Wedding Breakfast. A Singer entertained them until the meal was over and the Speeches began. After these, everyone returned to the House for the evening celebrations. A band was part of the evening and they had set up in the Carriageway.
Nicola and Gary had a few night shots taken before the next event. The cake cutting took place later followed by Nicola and Gary’s First Dance. Some time later everybody went outside for Fireworks. A lovely ending to the day for us. Time for us to leave. Thank you Nicola and Gary for asking us to photograph your wonderful Leez Priory Wedding Wedding, it was a pleasure working with such a lovely couple!
