Prested Hall Short Coverage Wedding Photography for Jo & Karl

Prested Hall Short Coverage Wedding Photography is always nice to do and being there with Jo and Karl for their Wedding Ceremony was a pleasure.

It was a beautiful late afternoon Wedding at the end of the Summer for Jo and Karl’s Wedding. When we arrived at Prested Hall we met up with Karl, who was socialising with some of the Guests. There was time to take a few pictures of Karl and his Best Man, then we left Karl to continue talking with his Guests.

Before it was time for Jo to arrive, the Guests and Karl walked over to the Gazebo. Jo arrived with her sister vey soon after. After a couple of pictures of Jo as she arrived with her sister. After Jo had seen the Registrars, it was time her Jo’s Mother to escort her to the Gazebo for the Wedding Ceremony.

The Wedding Ceremony took place in the Gazebo and then afterwards everyone enjoyed the Reception Drinks in the grounds of Prested Hall. Nice informal pictures of the Guests having an enjoyable time were taken. Jo and Karl went for a ride in the Wedding car during this time. A few requested group pictures were taken when Jo and Karl returned. We spent a few minutes with Jo and Karl walking around Prested Hall for a few pictures of them together.

The relaxed afternoon continued outside, until it was time to go inside.

We took a couple of pictures of Jo and Karl with their Wedding cake, before they did their speeches.

With Jo and Karl’s Prested Hall Short Coverage Wedding Photography completed we said our goodbyes. Thank you Jo and Karl for asking us to be your Wedding Photographers, it was a lovely day.

Prested Hall Wedding Photography for Corrine and Daniel’s summer Wedding.

Arriving at Prested Hall, we went off to find Corrine who was upstairs getting ready. Lots of activity was going on but everyone was very relaxed. Corinne’s Mum and Bridesmaids were on hand to help Corrine when the time came.

Daniel arrived later with his Groomsmen. A few pictures outside Prested Hall were take of them all before they greeted the Guests. Corrine was soon in her Wedding dress and we got on with a few bridal pictures of her. We just love this room, scope for some nice pictures.

An outside Ceremony was the order of the day and it looked lovely. The Guests took their places and watched as Corrinne and her Father made their way to the Gazebo where Daniel was waiting.

After saying their vows and the formalaties completed with their marriage, Corrine and Daniel left the Gazebo and were covered with confetti as they walked away and waited for their Guests to follow.

Reception drinks were served as everyone enjoyed mingling. Pictures were taken throughout the afternoon, formal and informal. A short walk around the grounds for us and Corrine and Daniel resulted in their together pictures. A nice enjoyable afternoon.

Later the Guests tooke their places in the Marquee for the Wedding Breakfast.

The meal was followed by the Speeches. The evening celebrations were held in the Orangery later. The First Dance took place after Corrine and Daniel cut their Wedding cake.

Capturing a few pictures of the evening, Guests and dancing ended our coverage of Corrine and Daniel’s Wedding day.

Prested Hall Wedding Photography for Anna & Michael

Prested Hall Wedding Photography for Anna and Michael. The couple chose the lovely Prested Hall for their Wedding at the end of last year.

Sunny but flooded!

Weather wise it was not the day that Anna and Michael thought it would be. Although sunny on the day the previous 3 days were heavy rain. Prior to the day access to Prested Hall had been pretty limited. Having photographed many Weddings at Prested Hall, we thought we had seen everything. Usually the lake is the other side of the house but what we first saw as we arrived surprised us! The rain had ceased in the morning and the water was slowly draining away, with a little help from a pump!

Preparations

Once inside Prested Hall we went upstairs to find Anna and her Bridesmaids. Preparations were going well. Michael was in the later stages of getting ready so when he was ready we went outside for a few pictures.

Afterwards Michael, with his Best Woman, Nikki, went back inside to see the Guests. When Anna was ready with the Bridesmaids. we took some pictures of them all. Anna’s sons, James and Harry, came into to see her before proceeding downstairs.

Wedding Ceremony

Anna took James’ arm and went into the room for the Wedding Ceremony. Harry proudly played his part in being the Ring Bearer. Following the Ceremony we went outside. There was just enough room to stand on the drier hard standing to take some requested family pictures. David’s feet got a little wet! Once these pictures were completed everybody went back inside Prested Hall for the Drinks Reception.

Dry Feet

We captured a variety of informal pictures during the time upto the Wedding Breakfast. Before that though, we took Anna and Michael outside for their pictures. Out the back we were really lucky, we used the decking, so Anna and Michael did not get wet feet! A beautiful sunset for Anna and Michael as well.

Evening Photos

After the meal it was time for the Speeches. James and Nikki did Anna and Michael proud. The Evening Guests arrived a little while later and Anna and Michael cut their Wedding Cake and took to the dance floor for their First Dance.

A couple of final pictures by the Christmas Tree of the happy couple finished our photography coverage. An interesting day of Prested Hall Wedding Photography for Anna and Michael!

Surprise Engagement Pictures at Prested Hall Feering

It was nice to receive a call from Hardeep last summer asking to take some surprise Engagement pictures! Hardeep was planning to ‘pop the question’ to his girlfriend, one summer’s evening at Prested Hall. We were available and arrangements were made. Fingers were crossed on the August evening that Hardeep and Navina were not held up in the traffic coming to Prested Hall. All was ok. Hardeep and Navina had dinner served to them, whilst we kept out the way! The staff at Prested Hall had arranged tea lights to arranged in the shape of a heart under the Gazebo. You could not see them from the house. As it got dark these were lit. We just had to wait now!

Before long Hardeep and Navina came out of Prested Hall and walked towards the Gazebo! Using the bushes as a cover we waited until Hardeep popped the question and Navina said ‘yes’ before we came clean! Having captured the moment and the reactions we congratulated them and had a quick chat. We then took a few pictures of Hardeep and Narvina once everything was calmer! What a lovely idea this was and we were pleased we were there.

Wedding Photography for Sophia & Glen –

St Mary Magdalene Church & Prested Hall

It was a beautiful day for Sophia and Glen’s Wedding photography. Our day started arriving at Orsett Hall where Sophia and her Family were staying.

Sophia was getting ready with her Bridesmaids when we went to see her. Preparations were well under way and the girls were enjoying every minute. As they carried on with their preparations David and I got on with taking the pictures of Sophia’s Wedding Dress and her lovely range of accessories. Once the pictures were taken, Sophia then got into her Wedding Dress, assisted by her Bridesmaids. Sophia looked lovely and before we got on with taking some pictures, her Father came into the room to see her. After taking pictures of all of them, as everyone was ready we had time to go out the front of Orsett Hall for some pictures with the cars. We then left to go to St Mary Magdalene Church at Great Burstead.

St Mary Magdalene Church

Arriving at the Church we went to find Glen and his Groomsmen. When they were all together we took a few pictures of them outside the Church before they greeted the Wedding Guests and went into the Church. The Church looked lovely decorated inside and outside by Jo of Brown’s Blooms and Balloons. Sophia arrived a short time later and after we took a couple of pictures, she then took her Father’s arm and entered the Church. After the Church service the Wedding Guests came out first with their confetti and waited for Sophia and Glen. As they exited the Church they were covered in confetti, some nice pictures. A few family group shots were taken in the grounds and of course a few with Sophia and Glen with their dog!

Sophia and Glen wanted a few pictures of the two of them in the Church and we happy to go back inside and take these before we all left the Church. Prested Hall was the setting for Sophia and Glen’s Wedding Reception.

Prested Hall

Everyone enjoyed the Drinks Reception and during this time we took some informal pictures and a few other requested ones as well. We had a little time to go over to the Gazebo with Sophia and Glen for a few pictures of them before returning to the Guests and getting everyone together for a big ‘everybody’ picture.

The Wedding Breakfast followed and afterwards it was time for the Speeches. Once these were finished Sophia and Glen had a few relaxed pictures taken with their Bridal Party and we took some relaxed evening pictures around Prested Hall of the two of them. Later Sophia and Glen cut their Wedding Cake and took to the dance floor for their First Dance. Evening Guests had joined the party so we took some informal pictures of them during the evening. Later as a surprise for their Guests Sophia and Glen provided Sparklers. The weather, which had been lovely all day, decided not to play ball! Fortunately it was only light rain and Sophia and Glen ended up with some lovely Sparklers pictures. After this event we said our ‘goodbyes’. A wonderful day and a lovely couple!
