Fennes Wedding Photographer for Naomi & Paul

Fennes Wedding Photographer for Naomi & Paul

We meet so many nice people being a Fennes Wedding photographer Naomi and Paul being no different! Our day started with going to see Naomi first at Fennes to see how preparations were going. Everything was going well with Naomi in the final stages of hair and make up.

David went off to find Paul who was getting ready with his Best Man, Clifford. When they were ready they walked over to the House. It was a nice dry day with sunshine so Paul had a few pictures taken with his Best Man and with a few Guests outside.

Upstairs in Fennes House Naomi was getting dressed assisted by her sister. Naomi was soon ready for to have some family pictures and some pictures of her taken. Naomi looked lovely.

Fennes Wedding Ceremony

Paul and Naomi chose to have their Wedding Ceremony in the Pavilion so the Guests made their way into the Pavilion and took their seats.

Naomi’s Mother and Father had flown over from Japan for their daughter’s Wedding and it was a lovely moment when her Father greeted her at the bottom of the stairs.

Ready for the Ceremony, Naomi took her Father’s arm and made her way into the Pavilion. After the Ceremony inside and outside of Fennes was used for the Drinks Reception and this made for some nice informal pictures.Paul and Naomi wanted some family pictures as well which we took during the afternoon. A walk around the grounds for their pictures ended with some nice pictures of the two of them. After the confetti shots it was time for the Wedding Breakfast. The Speeches followed.

Evening Celebrations

Before the evening celebrations we took the ‘heart’ shot and a couple of other pictures in Fennes. Naomi and Paul returned to their Guests.

Never quite knowing if there would be a sunset this evening we hoped we would get some colour in the sky! We were lucky but had to be extremely quick! It did work and we were all very pleased! After Naomi and Paul’s cutting of the cake and First Dance and happy with our coverage of their Wedding, it was time for us to leave. A lovely couple and a wonderful Wedding and another great day to be a Fennes Wedding Photographer!

It was a lovely day for the Fennes Wedding of Justine and Glyn .

We started with a visit to Justine in the Bridal Room where preparations were going very well. Justine was enjoying sipping her Champagne.

Justine and Glen wanted their Wedding to be fairly relaxed and from the outset that was what it was. Once Glyn was ready, together with his Groomsmen, they had a few pictures taken on the lawn. Justine’s Dad was looking forward to greeting Justine at the bottom of the stairs, which he did and seeing his daughter ready to get married.

The Wedding

When it was time Justine and her Father walked into the Pavilion for the Ceremony to begin. Afterwards everyone went outside at the front of Fennes for the Drinks Reception.

The weather was fine and for the remainder of the afternoon everyone stayed outside. During this time Justine and Glyn requested a few pictures which we took but we also ended up with a variety of informal shots.

During the short walk around Fennes grounds with Justine and Glyn we captured some them in some nice relaxed photographs. Just before the Wedding Breakfast the Guests showered Justine and Glyn with confetti.

Just prior to the speeched we took the happy couple for a sunset picture. Justine and Glyn had invited a lot of Evening Guests and they were arriving just as the speeches finished .Justine and Glyn spent time with them for a little while.

Wedding Photography Town Hall Braintree for Jenny & Sam

Wedding Photography Town Hall Braintree for Jenny & Sam

Jenny & Sam booked us for their Wedding Photography Town Hall Braintree.

When we arrived at the Town Hall we met with Sam who had just arrived with his Best Man, Alex. We made the most of the peaceful time taking a few pictures of them.

Sam was a bit worried as the Guests were not arriving as early as he expected! As is often the case they had arrived but as they waited outside for more of them to arrive and then make their entrance! Sam then mingled in the Foyer for a little while.

It wasn’t long before Jenny arrived out at the back of the Town Hall escorted by her Dad. They were showed into a room out of sight of everyone else. Jenny and her Mother and Father were joined by the Bridesmaids, and Pageboys. This gave us the opportunity of taking a few pictures before the Ceremony.

The Guests took their seats and Jenny, her Mum, Dad and Bridesmaids went upstairs into the connecting room. Jenny and her Dad followed the Bridesmaids and Pageboys into the ceremony room.

Afterwards everyone socialised in the rooms enjoying the Drinks Reception as well. Braintree Town Hall is a wonderful building and we certainly made use of everywhere we were allowed to go for pictures. Jenny and Sam wanted a few family group pictures and some other photos and we were happy to do those. For Jenny and Sam’s pictures we photographed them on the stairs and around. A little while later it was time to leave the Town Hall and go to Jardins for the Reception.

Reception at Jardins

At Jardins, more Guests arrived, so we went around and took some informal pictures. After a little while everyone helped themselves to the Buffet and then Jenny and Sam cut their Wedding Cake.

To start the dancing for the evening Jenny and Sam took to the dance floor for their First Dance. We stayed for a while until we were happy with our pictures. Our last pictures of the evening were of Jenny and Sam outside as the sun was going down. A lovely day for Jenny and Sam’s Wedding.

Wedding Photography at Fennes for Katie & Daniel

Wedding Photography at Fennes for Katie & Daniel

Katie and Daniel booked us to provide their wedding photography at Fennes. It was nice to be back at this wonderful and popular venue.

Arriving at Fennes the girls were busily getting ready upstairs in the house and Daniel and his Groomsmen were getting ready at Fennes as well so David and I split to cover all the preparations. Katie and Daniel were very relaxed about their Wedding especially as where their children were concerned. Belle, their daughter, was with the girls and Jake, their son was with Daniel and the Groomsmen. Preparations were going well and when Daniel was ready with his Groomsmen, they had some pictures taken. Daniel then went to see the Registrars and then socialised with the Guests. Once Katie was ready we took some pictures upstairs. Katie’s Father was waiting for her to come down the stairs and we were there to capture this special moment when it happened.

The Ceremony and Reception

After meeting with the Registrars they took their places in the Pavilion. The Bridesmaids and Belle, the Flowergirl, went first, followed by Katie and her Dad. After the Ceremony everyone went outside as the weather was nice. During the Drinks Reception we took the requested family pictures followed by some fun Bridal Party pictures. Jake, the Pageboy enjoyed helping David take the pictures! Katie and Daniel’s ‘together’ photos were taken during the afternoon as well. The Guests threw confetti over Katie and Daniel in the Gold Room just before the Guests were called into the Pavilion for the Wedding Breakfast. Katie and Daniel had a few minutes to themselves before they made their entrance into the Pavilion. After the Wedding Breakfast it was time for the Speeches. An couple of additional Speeches were made. Katie delivered one and so did Grace, Daniel’s daughter. They both did very well.

The Evening Reception

There was a short time before the start of the evening celebrations so we took Katie and Daniel for a short while for a few more pictures around Fennes including a glorious sunset picture. Before their First Dance later Katie threw her bouquet. Sparklers, night bridge shots finished our coverage of Katie and Daniel’s Wedding a little later on. A great couple, a lovely family, and a most rewarding day with some lovely unexpected shots.

Wedding Photographer Fennes Estate for Beth & Alex

Wedding Photographer Fennes Estate for Beth & Alex

It was a nice day when we arrived to be Wedding Photographer Fennes Estate for Alex and Beth’s Wedding. We arrived early at Fennes as Beth was getting ready there before the Church Wedding at St Mary’s Church, Bocking. Beth was upstairs in the Bridal Changing Rooms with her Bridesmaids and all was calm and collected. We got on with taking pictures of Beth’s accessories and details whilst capturing images of the final preparations.

It wasn’t long before Beth and the Bridesmaids were dressed and ready for some photographs. After a couple of pictures upstairs we went downstairs and into the Gold Room. It is really nice when there are no Guests inside the House as we are able to take some pictures in the downstairs rooms before leaving for a Church Wedding. With the pictures taken we left Beth to go to the Church.

St Mary’s Bocking

Alex and his Groomsmen were there carrying out their duties we were able to interrupt them just for a few minutes to take a few pictures. We took some Guests arrival pictures coming up the path and into the Church before Beth arrived. At the Church Tippi, the Flowergirl, joined Beth, her Father and the Bridesmaids. Beth and her Father followed the Bridesmaids into the Church for the service. It was a nice service and when it was finished everybody exited the Church for a few quick family pictures. Beth and Alex then walked down the path being showered by confetti as they went. Returning to Fennes, we got on with the car pictures before the Guests arrived.

The Drinks Reception followed outdoors with the weather holding. Alex and Beth wanted to have plenty of time to spend with their Guests and that is exactly what they had. During the afternoon we took a few smaller group pictures. We spent a few minutes with Beth and Alex taking their pictures as the forecast was not looking too good for later. Then the rain came just before we could get the ‘everybody’ shot done. Thankfully Fennes has lots of space and with the help of the staff we managed to improvise just prior to the Wedding Breakfast.

The Wedding Breakfast

The Wedding Breakfast was held in the Pavilion and this was followed by the Speeches. Afterwards there was Crazy Golf and other games in the Banqueting Hall to keep the adults and children entertained. Later Beth and Alex cut their Wedding Cake and then took to the dance floor for their First Dance. The weather prevented us taking Beth and Alex outside for some evening pictures so we made use of the steps and took the ‘heart’ picture. Happy with our pictures we then said our ‘goodbyes’. It was a lovely day and nice to see Stephanie (Alex’s sister) and Tim, whose Wedding we photographed 21 years ago at Leez Priory!

Fennes Wedding Photography for Maxine & Ben

Fennes Wedding Photography for Maxine & Ben

Maxine and Ben booked us for their Fennes Wedding Photography. Arriving at Fennes it was overcast but the forecast was that the weather was going to break. Maxine and Ben really wanted an outside Ceremony so the decision was made to go ahead and fingers were crossed. It wasn’t long before the sun was out which enhanced the setting for their Wedding. Maxine was getting ready upstairs with her Mother and the Bridesmaids. In another room Ben was getting ready. Preparations were going well were going well for both of them and once the men were ready they headed off downstairs and outside.

Ben and his Groomsmen had a few pictures outside and inside Fennes House then they carried out their duties of greeting the Guests. Maxine was soon ready for her ‘ready’ pictures together with the Bridesmaids. The Drinks Reception followed the outdoor Ceremony and everyone enjoyed socialising in the sunshine and being entertained by a magician.We got on with taking the requested family pictures and a few Bridal Party pictures later on. Leaving the Guests we whisked away Maxine and Ben for a short session of pictures on the Bridge and through the Bluebells. Everyone congregated in the Gold Room just before the Wedding Breakfast for the confetti throwing. The Wedding Breakfast was held in the Pavilion and the Speeches followed. A bouncy castle provided entertainment afterwards for the Bride and Groom as well as their Guests! The break between the speeches and evening celebrations allowed us to create Maxine and Ben’s special pictures which they requested involving the bridal party as well. These pictures were fun to do as well with everyone being extra relaxed! Finishing off with Maxine and Ben’s evening pictures inside Fennes we then returned to the Pavilion. Maxine and Ben cut their Wedding Cake and then took to the dance floor for their First Dance. After good weather during the day a sunset was not to be, so instead we took a couple of night pictures. This finished our coverage their Maxine and Ben’s Wedding Day. Thank you Maxine and Ben for an enjoyable and rewarding day also to the staff who make Fennes Wedding Photography a pleasure.

Wedding Photography Fennes for Paula & Jason

Wedding Photography Fennes for Paula & Jason

Wedding Photography Fennes – Great to be back at the wonderful Fennes a few days after our previous Wedding there. It is a brilliant Venue with superb staff to make your Wedding Day so special. Paula and Jason’s Wedding was no exception! It was overcast but dry when we arrived at Fennes on the morning of the Wedding. We headed up to the Bridal Changing Room where Paula was getting ready. Everybody was very relaxed and preparations were going well. The men were getting ready in the Lodges so David made his way over to them to see how things were progressing. Very well was the answer, so after capturing a few of these pictures, Jason and his Groomsmen made their way over to the House for a few pictures. Afterwards, as the Guests arrived, Jason greeted them whilst we captured a few arrival pictures as well. The girls were well on their way by this time and soon ready for their pictures. Paula’s Brother came to join us as we started as he was going to be giving her away. After a few pictures it was time for the Civil Ceremony. The Pavilion looked lovely, the Guests were seated, the Harpist was playing and all was ready for Paula to make her entrance. Following the Ceremony everyone walked up to the front of the house for the Drinks Reception. It was raining outside so everybody socialised inside for a while. Fortunately, the weather did break, long enough for us to take some requested family pictures outside. Once these were completed we took Paula and Jason for a very quick walk around the grounds. It was drizzling a little bit by now so we started with a brolly but were able to discard it after a couple of pictures as it had virtually stopped.. It would have been a shame if we didn’t include the bluebells and blossom in Paula and Jason’s pictures so were very lucky. Riding our luck we did a few fun Bridal Party pictures outside before going back inside for to take a few more.Paula and Jason then carried on with talking to their Guests. During the rest of the time before the Wedding Breakfast we took a variety of informal pictures.The Speeches provided some good reactions which we were there to capture. During the time before the Evening Guests arrived we took a few pictures in Fennes as it was raining of Paula and Jason and some group shots as of their Evening Guests. Later Paula and Jason cut their Wedding Cake before taking to the dance floor for their First Dance. A lovely couple! Congratulations Paula and Jason on your Wedding and thank you for asking us to photograph your Wedding.
