Kimberley and Ben asked us to carry out their Wedding Photography at Channels for their November Wedding .
Arriving at Channels we went to see Kimberley, her Mum, Bridesmaids and Flowergirls who were getting ready at Channels. They started their preparations in one of the rooms before transferring to a couple of other rooms across in Channels Lodge.
The Preparations
This was a good idea as there was definitely more space to get ready. Kimberley got ready in one room after we had photographed her Wedding Dress and Accessories. Meanwhile Ben was in the Essex Barn with his Best Man, Ushers, and his nephew, Ronnie, who was the Pageboy! Ronnie was dressed as a ‘Mini Ben”! He looked so smart! It was dry outside so all the guy’s pictures were taken outside the Barn. After that they all talked to the Guests as they were arriving.
Kimberley’s Mum, Debbie, helped Kimberley get ready. Once Kimberley was dressed the Bridesmaids joined her. Dad, Colin, came into the room a few minutes later. Very emotional moments especially as David and I know the family as well. After drying our eyes we got on with taking some Bridal pictures of Kimberley and some family pictures. We then went downstairs and waited for Kimberley. As a surprise a car was going to take her around to the Barn. This was extremely good as the weather had turned and the rain had started. Fortunately after seeing the Registrar, the rain had stopped and Kimberley made her way across the Courtyard and into the Barn.
Channels Wedding Photographs
Following the Ceremony as the weather was ok we all went outside for a few pictures. After the everybody picture, Kimberley and Ben were showered in confetti before we got on with a few requested family pictures.
The group pictures were mostly finished before the rain began to fall and then it became windy. During the Drinks Reception we found an area for the remaining pictures to be taken. Watching the weather there was a gap so we quickly took Kimberley and Ben for their pictures outside. We did take the umbrellas though! That was a good idea, before long the rain started again but we took some lovely pictures with the umbrellas and without!
We captured some informal pictures during the afternoon as well. Kimberley and Ben opted for wedding photography coverage up until the Wedding Breakfast. After a cake picture and pictures of them seated at the Wedding Breakfast we said our goodbyes having completed another day of wedding Photography at Channels. Kimberley and Ben, you are a lovely couple. We wish you all the best.
