We met Alison and Mike, who are getting married at Crabbs Barn, Kelvedon, and Dominique and Lea, who are getting married at Butley Priory, Sufolk, recently. With both of their Weddings soon, there was much to talk about in setting plans and timings for their big days.

Wedding Photography for Ellie & Danny – Crabbs Barn, Kelvedon
It was a dry if chilly day when we arrived at Ellie’s Parents’ home, where Ellie was getting ready for her Wedding. After taking a few pictures of Ellie getting ready, just on cue, the sun made an appearance and as we went outside to the garden to take a few photographs. It was soon time for us to leave to go to Crabbs Barn to see Danny and his Groomsmen and take a few pictures of them before Ellie arrived. Following the Civil Ceremony, the Guests followed Ellie and Danny outside for an ‘everybody’ photograph before enjoying the Drinks Reception in the warmth of the Garden Pavilion. A few family group pictures were taken later on before Ellie and Danny left their Guests socialising for a short time to have some pictures taken of them together around the grounds of Crabbs Barn.
After the confetti pictures it was time for the Wedding Breakfast and Speeches. Ellie and Danny wanted to have a few pictures afterwards around the gardens and luckily for them sunset pictures before the arrival of their evening Guests.
After the cake cutting and First Dance we left them all to continue with the evening celebrations. An enjoyable day, a lovely couple and thanks to Paul, Jack and JLS Catering for looking after us as always. -
Wedding Photography for Natasha & Mark – Crabbs Barn, Kelvedon
It was a cold but dry day when we arrived at Crabbs Barn, Kelvedon, for the Wedding of Natasha and Mark. Natasha was getting ready in the Bridal Suite together with her Bridesmaid, Khadyah, and as the time progressed we captured the images. When Natasha was ready, her Dad greeted her and after a few pictures it was time to take the short walk to the Barn for the Civil Ceremony, where close family and friends were waiting. Natasha and Mark wanted an intimate and relaxed day with their close family and friends. Following the Ceremony, Natasha and Mark had a little while by themselves before we took a few pictures of them. Not wanting to keep them outside very long, we managed their time very well and achieved some nice images.
With their Guests enjoying the Reception Drinks and Natasha and Mark joining them, in between we took a few family group pictures inside the Garden Room together with some informal pictures. The Wedding Breakfast was held in the barn on one big table, which made for a wonderful intimate atmosphere.
Coverage of the Speeches followed before the start of the evening Reception. As more Guests arrived for the Evening Reception we took some informal pictures of them before the cutting of the cake and the First Dance. To finish our day we took a couple of pictures of the happy couple outside the Barn. -

Pre-Wedding Pictures
Not long before Natasha and Mark’s Wedding at Crabbs Barn, Kelvedon, they came and saw us to go over the details of their Wedding. A very short walk (it was rather cold!) followed, to take some pre-wedding pictures.
Melissa and Dave’s Wedding was booked over a year ago so it was good to catch up with them one evening and go over the details of their Wedding soon at Marks Hall, Coggeshall.

Wedding Photography for Diane & Ken – Crabbs Barn, Kelvedon
It was a busy morning for Diane at her Parents’ house getting ready for her special day. After taking a few pictures of preparations, and as we had a journey to get to Crabbs Barn, it was decided to catch up on some of the pictures later on. The rain clouds were holding off as we arrived at Crabbs Barn allowing us to get some pictures of Ken and his Dad, who was Best Man. After the Civil Ceremony, we quickly took a few pictures of Diane and Ken and their son Oliver with the car, outside Crabbs Barn, which Oliver thoroughly enjoyed!
During the Drinks Reception,with the Guests enjoying the sunshine and the children playing with the garden games, we took a few family group pictures, together with those we did not have time to do earlier. Making sure Diane and Ken had some social time we were able to steal them away for a few minutes for their portraits around Crabbs Barn before the Wedding Breakfast.
The time of the sunset was during the wedding breakfast but thanks goes to Paul, the Manager at Crabbs Barn for adjusting the timings of the courses so Diane and Ken could have the pictures they wanted.
After capturing some of the evening celebrations and guests we ended our day .

Thank you
To David and Sandra,We would like to say a huge thank you to you both for everything you did for our wedding. On the day you were friendly and welcoming to everyone and so many people have told us how nice you were. Since the wedding you have been incredible. To get a preview of wedding pictures to us before our honeymoon was so thoughtful of you and much appreciated. To top everything off, your pictures are amazing. Our album is perfect and so too are the parent albums. We love showing it to people and they have all said how brilliantly it tells the story of the day in such a high quality album.Overall you have captured our wedding day in a way that we will always treasure. You are fabulous photographers and such special people. We will never hesitate to recommend you to our friends and family and will remember that you do a portrait service that I know we will use in the future.Thank you so much for everything,Anne and Stephen

Wedding Photography for Laura & Ashley – Crabbs Barn, Kelvedon
Laura and Ashley chose the popular and friendly Venue, Crabbs Barn, for their Wedding. Laura made her final preparations in the Bridal Suite with her Bridesmaids and the Pageboys. It was lively and happy with lots going on but everything getting done. Meanwhile, Ashley, Best Man and Ushers were having a few pictures taken by David as the Guests arrived. Once the Girls were ready some photographs were taken altogether before walking the short distance to the entrance of the Barn. Having fun on the way to the Ceremony will be remembered by me for some time!
Following the Civil Ceremony, Laura and Ashley led their Guests outside for an everybody picture and a few other requested photographs. Laura and Ashley wanted a relaxed, fun Wedding and that is exactly how the day went, with their children, Blake and Freddie, with the other children and Guests enjoying themselves around the superb grounds in the wonderful weather.
Laura and Ashley were keen to have some portraits of themselves around Crabbs Barn, so we were able to leave the Guests enjoying themselves and go for a short stroll. 
Speeches followed the Wedding Breakfast and the evening celebrations began. After a few pictures of evening Guests and First Dance pictures it was time for us to leave.

Wedding Photography for Laura & Shane – Crabbs Barn, Kelvedon, Essex
Laura was getting ready for her Wedding at the Middiford Barn, Great Wigborough, which is where our coverage of Laura and Shane’s Wedding started. It was a dry, pleasant day but very windy so we took a few pictures of Laura inside the Barn rather than outside.
After a little while we left to go to Crabbs Barn, Kelvedon, and once there took a few pictures of Shane before Laura arrived.
Following the Civil Ceremony everybody socialised outside during the Drinks Reception. Some requested family group pictures were taken in between capturing the atmosphere and informal pictures.
Just before the Wedding Breakfast, Laura, we spent a few minutes around Crabbs Barn creating some pictures of Laura and Shane. The early evening sun after the Wedding Breakfast and Speeches gave us a wonderful opportunity for a few more photographs of the happy couple before their evening Guests arrived. Once it was dark Laura and Shane released a few illuminated balloons before their First Dance .
