The Fennes Estate with the addition of a snow covering, made an even more amazing setting for Louise and Jamie’s Wedding! Seeing the line up of wellies, on arrival, we knew it was going to be a great day! Lots of excitable noise could be heard upstairs in Fennes with the girls getting ready. Harry, Louise and Jamie’s son, was with them and had plenty of attention paid to him. After capturing the getting ready pictures and once the girls were ready we took a few photographs before it was time for the Civil Ceremony. 
Louise looked radiant walking into the Ceremony with her Father, followed by the Bridesmaids. After the Ceremony, Louise, Jamie, family and friends enjoyed the Drinks Reception whilst we captured some informal images. A little while later after a few family photographs in the warm in the Gold Room and following a change of footware for many of us, we ventured outside with the Bridal Party for some fun relaxed pictures walking through the snow. The Bridesmaids and Groomsmen returned inside leaving Louise, Jamie, Harry and us to go to the Bridge.
With beautiful light, a wonderful setting, a happy couple, some lovely pictures! Confetti pictures were in the Gold Room before the Receiving Line. After greeting their Guests, it was time for the Speeches before the Wedding Breakfast. Harry’s Birthday was the following day so after the Wedding Breakfast there was a surprise Birthday cake for him. Before the arrival of their Evening Guests, Louise and Jamie wanted to have a few pictures taken around the inside of Fennes. Not long after Louise and Jamie cut their Wedding Cake and took to the dance floor for their First Dance. Our night finished with a couple of closing pictures of Louise and Jamie in front of Fennes. 
Great to work with David of Rideout Productions again and thanks to the staff at Fennes for looking after us so well.

Wedding Photography for Vicki & Dan – Fennes
Vicki and Dan chose the popular Fennes Estate for their Wedding and had a fantastic day to remember! Vicki and her Bridesmaids were getting ready upstairs at Fennes, whilst Dan and his Groomsmen were getting ready in one of the Lodges. It was soon time for their Ceremony and Vicki looked lovely as she made her entrance into the Pavilion as did Dan in his Army uniform.
Following the Ceremony, although cold outside, everybody went outside for a couple of pictures before going inside for a few requested Groups. Later, we took a few fun bridal party pictures outside, thank you to all of you, it was really cold! 
Vicki and Dan wanted a couple of pictures on the bridge, which happened in double quick time! 
After confetti pictures in the Gold Room it was time for the Wedding Breakfast. Guests listened to the Speeches before the meal, unbeknown to them there was an extra Speech later! Vicki’s Speech was a surprise to everybody, especially Dan, and when Vicki (not a good singer!) started to sing, the Soul Singer, Dominic, appeared on the Dance Floor to rapturous applause! Dancing to his songs was followed by cake cutting and the First Dance. A brilliant day and will be remembered by us especially for Vicki jumping with joy throughout the day! -
Wedding Photography for Sammy & Jack – The Fennes Estate
Sammy and Jack chose the superb Wedding Venue, The Fennes, for their Wedding. Our first port of call on our arrival at Fennes was to the girls to see how things were coming along. All was running smoothly, time for some detail pictures and capturing the atmosphere of the day. Before long it was time for Jack, his Best Man and Usher to greet the first of their Guests downstairs as well as having a few photographs. It was a dry bright day so stepping outside for the guys pictures was a must. Once Sammy was ready, and after seeing the Registrars, it was time for her to make her entrance into the Pavilion for the Ceremony.
After the Ceremony, Sammy and Jack led the way to the Drinks Reception at the front of the House and outside to take the ‘everybody’ picture. The Guests remained outside enjoying the Drinks and sunshine so we took the opportunity to take their family photographs. Sammy and the Bridesmaids wanted some pictures on the bridge we then took Sammy and Jack for their pictures around Fennes. 
After confetti pictures in the Gold Room, it was time for the Wedding Breakfast and Speeches, before a few pictures of Sammy and Jack followed by the evening reception. After taking some informal pictures of their Evening Guests and the First Dance, Sammy and Jack wanted a night picture with Fennes Bridal cottage which we took before saying goodnight and watching them re-join their Guests for the rest of the evening. 
Thanks to the staff at Fennes for looking after us so well. -
Pre-Wedding Pictures
After meeting Sammy and Jack at their home and confirming last minute details of their forthcoming Wedding at The Fennes, Bocking, we went to Priory Park, Southend for some pictures. The weather wasn’t brilliant but that didn’t deter us!

Pre-Wedding Pictures
It is so important to us, as well as our clients, to meet before the Wedding Day and even though it wasn’t long before the Weddings of Louise and Jamie, and Vicki and Daniel at The Fennes Estate, Bocking, we met to discuss their Weddings and take a few pictures.

Wedding Photography for Rebecca & Michael – St. Mary's Church, Bocking & The Fennes
Our day started at Fennes with Becky getting ready there before going to the Church. After a few final preparation pictures upstairs, we took Becky’s Bridal portraits downstairs in the Gold and Red rooms.
As Ian of Nixons Cars arrived, that was our cue to leave and head off to St. Mary’s Church, Bocking. Capturing some pictures of Mike, his Best Man and Ushers, before many of the Guests arrived was achieved and as they made their way into Church, we waited for the arrival of Becky. After the Church service and a few family photographs outside the Church, everybody left to go to Fennes for the Reception. With the light being good, whilst the Guests were still arriving, we took Becky and Mike for a few pictures on the bridge.
Prior to the Receiving Line, with the sun going down we quickly whizzed Becky and Mike outside to capture the sunset. Following the Wedding Breakfast and Speeches, Becky and Mike enjoyed a little while to themselves in the Gold Room (discreetly we took a couple of pictures!), before returning to their Guests for the cutting of the Wedding cake and their First Dance.

Wedding Photography for Pam & Dan – The Fennes, Bocking
Pam and Dan chose the lovely Fennes Estate for their Wedding in the Autumn last year. Both of them were getting ready at Fennes so we were able to capture a range of different pictures before the Civil Ceremony. Following the Ceremony in the Pavilion, Pam and Dan made their way to the front of Fennes for the release of doves.
With their Guests watching indoors as it was raining and after capturing a few photographs Pam and Dan enjoyed time socialising with their Guests during the Drinks Reception. A few requested family group pictures were taken in the Gold Room and a short time afterwards, with the rain easing off, we ventured outside with Pam and Dan. Using the Gazebo as it was dry made for some nice pictures and on our way back to the House, with the weather improved, the Bridal Party joined us for some fun, relaxed pictures outside the House.
Later the Wedding Breakfast commenced followed by the Speeches. Pam had proposed to Dan onthe 29th February and hearing the story made for some good pictures in the Speeches. Whilst their Evening Guests were arriving we took a couple of pictures of the two of them inside Fennes before their First Dance.
