It was an early arrival for the start of our Wedding Photography for Eilidh & Ben’s Wedding. Eilidh was staying at the Country Lodges at Stoke by Nayland Golf Club, with members of her family who had come down from Scotland for the Wedding. It was our first visit to the Lodges and we must say we were very impressed, contemporary, spacious and light inside with balcolnies to compliment. With final bridal preparations taking place, it was all systems go with us taking a few detail shots and just having time for a few portraits of Eilidh, Bridesmaids and Parents, before we left to go to St. George’s Church, Great Bromley, for the Service. As the Flowergirls had arrived at the Church, we took a couple of pictures of them as well as capturing Ben with his ‘Beetle’! 
With the beautiful colour scheme Eilidh and Ben had chosen, a glorious day, a Piper leading Eilidh and her Father from the Lych gate into the Church, lovely pictures! After a few family photographs, it was time for the confetti pictures and to make our way to Butley Priory, Woodbridge. The Priory looked a picture in the mid-afternoon sun especially decorated with bunting in the vintage theme the couple had chosen. Eilidh, Ben and the Bridal party arrived in Camper Vans which made for some fun shots.
Everybody enjoyed the cream tea and had a relaxing time socialising as David and I photographed the many accessories and details that Eilidh and Ben had made. Afterwards, we used the coolness of the Priory for a few pictures of Eilidh and Ben. Once the Wedding Breakfast had finished Eilidh and Ben wanted a couple of pictures in the Bridal Suite and in the early evening sun around the grounds before the evening Reception, which was held in the Marquee.
With Eilidh and Ben’s first dance completed and a few informal pictures of the evening guests we squeezed in a concluding evening picture of the happy couple before departing.

Wedding Photography The Barn Brasserie – Lianne & Neil
Wedding Photography The Barn Brasserie
It was a gloriously hot afternoon when we arrived at The Barn Brasserie for the Wedding of Lianne and Neil. Our coverage of Lianne and Neil’s Wedding started here, so it was all systems go from the moment we arrived taking pictures of the venue before the arrival of Neil and the Guests. We took a few pictures of Neil, his Brother, the Best Man and their parents. We captured some lovely informal images of the Guests relaxing in the Courtyard before Lianne arrived. After a couple of pictures of Lianne, it was time for the Civil Ceremony in the Barn. Following the Ceremony, Lianne, Neil and their Guests enjoyed the Drinks Reception and Canapes outside in the Courtyard in the brilliant sunshine. With some family pictures taken we took Lianne and Neil for a short walk around for a few Bride and Groom photographs before the confetti pictures.
After the Wedding Breakfast, (the food was excellent!), the Speeches took place before the cake cutting and First Dance. Josh James provided the music entertainment for the Evening and was superb! Our last photograph of Lianne and Neil’s Wedding was a night shot in the entrance to the Courtyard.

Wedding Photography for Ashley & Simon – St Andrew's Church, Hempstead & Spains Hall, Finchingfield
An early start for us for Ashley & Simon’s Wedding as Ashley was getting ready at Crest Lodge, Spains Hall, before leaving to go to St. Andrew’s Church, Hempstead. On arrival, the girls were having their make-up applied by the superb make-up artist, Alexis Day. A wonderful atmosphere and some lovely pictures to take. We photographed Ashley in the garden together with her Parents and Bridesmaids before leaving for the Church. Following the Church service most of the group pictures were taken outside the Church door as this made a lovely setting.
Ashley and Simon left the Church after being showered in confetti and made their way to Spains Hall, Finchingfield. Guests congregated inside and outside the House during the Drinks Reception as did Ashley and Simon, before we went for a short walk around the splendid grounds of Spains Hall for Ashley and Simon’s romantic pictures. 
Being a beautiful day, the stunning backdrops of Spains Hall made Ashley and Simon’s together pictures even better. Making sure Ashley and Simon had time to speak to their Guests, after a little while, the Bridal Party made their way to the front of Spains Hall for some fun bridal party pictures before being joined by everybody else. After the Wedding Breakfast and Speeches, evening Guests arrived and shortly the First Dance. Following the First Dance, we took a couple of pictures of Ashley and Simon outside The Stables, before we left.

Prested Hall Wedding Photography – Lucy and Nathan
Prested Hall Wedding Photography
Lucy and Nathan were married at Prested Hall, Feering on a chilly but dry day in December. Lucy’s final preparations were calmly taking place upstairs in Prested Hall while the Guests started to arrive for the Wedding. Nathan, his Best Man and Ushers greeted the Guests before we took them for a few photographs around Prested Hall. After capturing a few pictures of Lucy, she entered the Oak Room for the Wedding Ceremony. Lucy and Nathan were congratulated by their Guests during the Drinks Reception as we took some informal pictures. Preparing everybody for the Group Photograph outside, resulted in a lovely picture taken before people got cold. A few family pictures were taken inside but Lucy and Nathan braved the cold for some beautiful pictures outside in the Gazebo and on the bridge. It was well worth it!

Wedding Photography for Rebecca & Peter at Spains Hall, Finchingfield
Spains Hall, Finchingfield – We have had the opportunity of meeting Beccs and Pete at Pete’s sister’s Wedding a few years ago, as well as for portrait photographs and Engagement pictures in the meantime. It was a busy but fun morning when David and I arrived at Crest Lodge, Spain’s Hall, Finchingfield, Essex, especially as there were eight Bridesmaids as well as the Bride getting ready! It was lovely to see Katie and Elisha again as we had previously photographed their Weddings. Everybody was ready on time enabling us to take some lovely pictures before setting off for the Church. St. Andrew’s Church, Barnston, was the Church that Bex and Pete wanted to be married in. Bex and Pete were keen to do some pictures after the Church service in the Cornfield opposite the Church, which we did ,and achieved some lovely shots on a beautiful afternoon. On our return to Spains Hall the Guests enjoyed drinks in the Gardens. We photographed the Bride and Groom for a short time, whilst the Guests were being seated for the Wedding Breakfast. Later Bex and Pete wanted some evening pictures around Spains Hall and this resulted in some sunset pictures. A lovely end to the day.
