Wedding Photography Fennes for Gemma & Martin

Gemma and Martin’s Wedding took place at the wonderful Fennes in the Autumn last year. They chose to have all their Wedding at The Fennes Estate. On the morning of the Wedding it was dry outside, allowing us to take a few pictures of Martin and his Groomsmen. Meanwhile, the girls were upstairs carrying out their final preparations. We had time to take a few Bridal portraits as everything was running on time before Gemma went down the stairs to where her Father was waiting for her.

The Civil Ceremony was held in the Pavilion and once the Guests were seated, and Gemma had entered the room, the Registrars conducted the Ceremony. Unfortunately, the dry day didn’t continue, the rain came, so when the Ceremony had finished Gemma and Martin made their way upto the front of the house and made use of the rooms to socialise. Keeping the Gold Room free allowed us, a little later on, to get on with taking the requested family pictures. We were able to use the steps outside Fennes for a couple of photos before it was dry enough to go over to the Bridge. The Bridge is a popular feature of Fennes and we do try to get a couple of pictures of the Bride and Groom on there, come what may! Gemma and Martin were happy for us to take a couple of pictures amongst the leaves. Confetti pictures were taken in the Gold Room later prior to the Wedding Breakfast, as well as a couple of more together pictures.We had run out of time before the Wedding Breakfast to take the ‘everybody’ shot so after covering the Speeches, so the front of house Co-Ordinator, Lottie, requested Guests make their way to the front of the house. In next to no time we had taken this shot and everyone went back into the house to await the evening celebrations. After making sure we had a selection of informal pictures during the evening and after the First Dance it was time to say ‘goodbye’.

Wedding Photographs Fennes – Dani & John

Wedding Photographs Fennes – Dani & John

We were pleased to be asked to photograph Danielle and John’s Wedding at the wonderful Fennes. After initially booking us to photograph their Wedding next year, they decided to take advantage of an opportunity of booking the Fennes Estate for their Wedding this year. Danielle was getting ready at Fennes, helped by her Bridesmaids and Mum, so we captured the moments as they happened. When John arrived, we took a few pictures of him with his Groomsmen outside. Once these were taken John greeted the Guests whilst some pictures of Danielle were taken as she was now ready. After everybody was seated in the Pavilion, Danielle came down the stairs to meet with the Registrars. She then made her way down to the Pavilion for the Civil Ceremony. The forecasted rain arrived during the Ceremony so the Guests mingled in the rooms at the front of Fennes whilst we took some pictures in the Gold Room. With the requested pictures taken, on cue the rain stopped and we all went outside. After the ‘everybody’ picture we took Danielle and John over to Bridge for a few pictures of them together. As the Guests were now outside the Red Room was free and we took a few more pictures in there. After managing to squeeze in some fun bridal party and confetti shots, it was time for the Wedding Breakfast. The Speeches followed and then it was soon time for the evening reception. With some colour in the sky, Danielle and John ended up with some evening pictures before their First Dance. Happy with our coverage we took our leave. It was a lovely day and it was nice to see Victoria and Antony again, whose Wedding we photographed in September 2014 at Crabbs Barn. Congratulations Danielle and John!

Wedding Photography Fennes – Hollie and Chris

It was a windy but dry and warm day for Hollie and Chris’ Summer Wedding at Fennes. Hollie and Chris wanted to have an outdoor Civil Ceremony at Fennes and their wish came true. Hollie and her Bridesmaids were getting ready in the house whilst Chris and his Groomsmen were getting ready in the Lodges. When Chris was ready he had some pictures taken. Meanwhile, Hollie and her Bridesmaids were getting dressed, so they were ready for their pictures. Soon it was time for Hollie to go and see the Registrars before the start of the Ceremony. The Bridesmaids then led the way outside, followed by Hollie and her Father. After the Ceremony, Hollie and Chris spent a little time with their Guests before the arranged pictures. We changed the planned location for the requested family pictures closer to the guitarist, as the wind had got up, making it hard for the guests hear him play. The Guests carried on enjoying the Drinks Reception whilst we took Hollie and Chris for a short walk around the grounds for their ‘together’ pictures. Before the Wedding Breakfast we did an ‘everybody’ heart shot. Thank you to Sue from Fennes for helping us to achieve this so speedily! Everyone then made their way into the Pavilion for the Wedding Breakfast. The Speeches took place before the meal so they could all enjoy the meal without pressure! Afterwards and before the evening Guests arrived we took a few pictures of Hollie and Chris in the Gold Room and Red Room. The cake cutting was before Hollie and Chris took to the dance floor for their First Dance together. Capturing a lovely sunset picture for Hollie and Chris completed our coverage of their Wedding.

Wedding Photography Fennes – Stephen & Richard

It was a lovely day for the Wedding of Stephen and Richard at Fennes. When we arrived at The Fennes Estate on the morning of the Wedding Stephen was getting ready in the cottage and Richard was getting ready upstairs in the House. Stephen and Richard chose to have one best man each and one best woman each to help them with all the preparations and what a good job they did! Once ready they had a few pictures taken of themselves together with their friends, before it was time for seeing the Registrars in the Library.

Richard and Stephen chose to meet in the Library before going to the Ceremony in the Pavilion. When it was time the Best Men and Best Women led the way, followed by Stephen and his Mother Linda and Richard with his Mother, Mary. After the Ceremony, the Guests enjoyed the Drinks Reception outside, whilst Richard and Stephen had a few moments together. They soon made their way outside, cheered by their Guests and joined them for Drinks. Richard and Stephen enjoyed relaxing and socialising for a little while whilst we were on hand to capture the moments. During the afternoon we took some requested groups and relaxed fun pictures. There was time later for a short walk around the wonderful grounds of Fennes for Stephen and Richard’s together pictures. After the confetti pictures it was time for the Weddding Breakfast. Following the meal the Speeches began. Rukan, Richard’s Best Woman, started off the Speeches and introduced those following. Naomi, Stephen’s Best Woman completed the round of Speeches in her great theatrical style! Brilliant reactions! There was a little time before the evening Guests arrived, so Stephen, Richard and ourselves went to the front of the house for some pictures. The evening celebrations began with the cake cutting, then Stephen and Richard took to the dance floor. Our final coverage of the guys’ Wedding was a sunset picture. Thank you Stephen and Richard for asking us to photograph your Wedding, we thoroughly enjoyed it!

Fennes Wedding Photography – Zhanine & David

Fennes Wedding Photography

Our day started early with a visit to Zhanine and David’s home for Zhanine’s bridal preparation shots for her Wedding. With David downstairs taking some images of the hair and make-up, I went upstairs to photograph Zhanine’s dress and accessories. When Zhanine’s hair and most of her make-up were finished it was time for her to get dressed. Zhanine’s sister and Bridesmaid helped her get ready whilst I got a few action shots. The time had run out so we quickly took a couple of bridal portraits of Zhanine before we left to go to the Church. Our Lady Immaculate Roman Catholic Church, Chelmsford, was where Zhanine and David were to be married. Once we had finished our brief chat with Father Hugh, taken some detail shots and met with the Videographer who was shooting his first wedding. David, his Best Man and Ushers arrived and and quickly disappeared into the Church to take up their duties. We found time between the guest arrivals to take a few arranged pictures of them. It wasn’t long before Zhanine, accompanied by her Father arrived. We took a couple of pictures before the music began and Zhanine took her Father’s arm and they made their way into the Church. After the service as Zhanine and David left the Church with their Parents and the Bridal Party, we took a couple of quick group pictures of them all, before the rest of the Guests joined them outside. After greeting their Guests for a little while, Zhanine and David were showered in confetti just before getting into the car to go to the Reception. The Fennes Estate was the chosen Reception Venue and a particular favourite of ours. It was a beautiful day and Fennes looked wonderful. Zhanine and David’s Wedding Guests arrived at various intervals and were entertained by the Piper. We got on and took some relaxed and informal pictures during the Drinks Reception. Once we believed everybody had arrived we took the family group pictures. During the afternoon we managed to achieve the pictures that were required as well as taking Zhanine and David onto the bridge for the their pictures. A patch of Bluebells provided a lovely backdrop for a few bride and groom pictures but as always at Fennes there are so many opportunities for pictures that we are spoilt for choice! Later the Piper piped Zhanine and David into the Pavilion for the Wedding Breakfast. The Speeches provided some amusing images before people went outside to enjoy the nice evening. Able to find a little time to take some evening pictures of Zhanine and David later we were pleased with the results. Zhanine and David cut their Wedding cake before their First Dance, which was followed by a Ceilidh. Nice to work with www.debbielloyd.co.uk for and www.bridalpromhairdesign.com. A great day!

Wedding Photographer The Fennes for Caroline & Simon

Wedding Photographer The Fennes

Our Wedding Photography coverage of Caroline and Simon’s Wedding started at The Fennes Estate, Bocking on a bright and dry but chilly day. Caroline was in the final stages of having her hair done with the Bridesmaids, Flowergirls and Pageboys getting dressed. Simon was having a few pictures taken with his Groomsmen outside, with the ‘Back to the Future’ Delorean, which was going to take him to St Mary’s Church, Bocking, for the Wedding. It wasn’t long before Caroline got dressed with the help of her Mum and her Bridesmaids and she was ready for a few pictures.

David and I then left them to go to the Church. Many of Caroline and Simon’s Guests came on the Routemaster bus and as they arrived at the Church we took some arrival pictures as they made their way into the Church. Caroline arrived at the Church and as it was quite cold made her way quickly into Church for some warmth! After the Church service we quickly took a couple of family pictures before Caroline and Simon walked down the path and were showered in confetti. Once back at Fennes, the car took centre stage for a little while, making for some different pictures. With Caroline and Simon’s Guests enjoying the Drinks Reception inside as well, we managed to find a few minutes to take Caroline and Simon around Fennes for a few pictures of them together. Later we used the Gold Room inside the House for a few requested family pictures before the Wedding Breakfast commenced. The Speeches followed the Wedding Breakfast and then it was time for the evening celebrations to begin. Caroline and Simon’s evening Guests started to arrive, so we took a few informal pictures of them before the cutting of the Wedding Cake and the First Dance. Happy to have been the wedding photographer The Fennes for another day and happy with the pictures that we had taken throughout the day we said our goodbyes.

There was great excitement and laughter which we caught on camera! With Tracey’s details and accessories photographed the girls continued their preparations.

Robert was having a few pictures taken outside Fennes before greeting the Wedding Guests. After taking a few portraits of all the girls once they were ready, it was time for Tracey to meet with the Registrars before the Ceremony.

Tracey’s son was giving her away so after taking his arm they made their way into the Pavilion. Following the Ceremony, Tracy and Robert led their Guests outside for the Drinks Reception. There were a few requested pictures, including some fun pictures. Some nice informal pictures of the Guests were taken whilst everybody socialised in the sunshine.

Later we took Tracey and Robert for a short time around the grounds for their together pictures. Not only are the grounds lovely at Fennes, so are the rooms in the house! Tracey and Robert wanted a few pictures inside and we managed to squeeze them in before it was time for confetti and the Receiving Line. The Wedding Breakfast followed and that is where we took our leave. A lovely time!
