Photography for smaller wedding – Hylands Park

Photography for smaller weddings – Hylands Park

Sometimes we get asked for Photography for smaller weddings, which are always a pleasure to cover.

Lisa got in contact with us in the early summer last year by recommendation, which is always nice to know! Lisa and Mark were going to have a small Wedding Ceremony at the Registry Office but wanted a few pictures beforehand. We arranged to meet Lisa and Mark together with their daughters at Hylands Park, Chelmsford.

Although a dry day it was chilly and the girls were glad of their cardigans! Hylands Park provides some lovely photographic opportunities so off we went with the family to see what we could capture. We had an enjoyable time walking around, stopping to take some pictures where we all wanted to. This didn’t take too long and Lisa and Mark ended up with a nice selection of varied pictures around Hylands Park as a few memories of their Wedding Day.

Wedding Photographer Channels for Nicola & Nick

Wedding Photographer Channels for Nicola & Nick

Our next assignment was Wedding Photographer Channels for Nicola and Nick. We began our coverage of their Wedding joining Nicola at Channels where she was getting ready. The preparations went well considering the number of bodies in a fairly small space on a very hot day!

Nick and his Groomsmen were waiting until the last moment when they had to put on their jackets for their pictures! After taking some pictures of Nick, his Groomsmen and Parents the Bridesmaids got changed whilst Nicola was having the final touches applied to her hair and make-up. They then helped Nicola get into her Wedding Dress.

The Wedding Ceremony

After a few pictures it was time for the Ceremony. Nicola and her attendants made their way outside where Nick and the guests were waiting

After the Ceremony and with their glasses of bubbly Nicola and Nick led their Guests to the area in the grounds for the Drinks Reception.

Unplanned, a Receiving Line occurred! Actually, this turned out ok as the Guests were served with Reception Drinks and could escape into the shade! Whilst this was going on we took some informal pictures. A short time later we got on with the requested family pictures. Later on the afternoon we took the Nicola, Nick and the Bridal Party for a few pictures around the front of Channels. Once these were completed the Bridal Party returned to the Drinks Reception whilst we took Nicola and Nick’s pictures. The trees provided the shade which was very welcome!

The Confetti and Wedding Breakfast

Nicola and Nick were showered in confetti just before the wedding Breakfast.

The Speeches followed the meal. Not to be missed was taking some pictures in the evening light so we then took Nicola and Nick to the lake for a walk around for a few minutes. As their Evening Guests had arrived it was time for the cake cutting which was then followed by the dancing. First of all Nicola and Nick had the chair dance the Hora, around the dance floor before they then had their First Dance. We captured a few pictures of the evening before it was time for the sunset. What a sunset it was! It was nice to work with A most rewarding day of Channels Wedding Photography. It was nice to see and work with Michelle of Bumblebee Bridal again and will see her again very soon.

Wedding Photography for Jennifer & Richard – Leez Priory, Chelmsford

Jenny and Richard chose the beautiful Leez Priory for their Wedding on a pleasant Winter’s day. Jenny, her Bridesmaids, and Parents were getting ready in the main house, where we took their pictures, before getting a few photographs of Richard and his Attendants in the grounds of Leez Priory. The Civil Ceremony was held in the Great Hall and this was followed by a Drinks reception downstairs. After everyone had socialised for a little while we all went outside for a few requested photographs. The expressions of the Bridal Party during the informal fun pictures will be etched in all our memories, due to David not looking where he was going and tripping over – but like a true professional he got the shot! Not to be missed was the late afternoon sun and for a few minutes we took Jenny and Richard for a short walk around the Grounds of Leez Priory. The Wedding Breakfast and Speeches followed before the Evening Guests arrived. Our day finished after Jenny and Richard’s First Dance and a couple of pictures by the illuminated Tower and in front of Leez Priory.

Wedding Photography for Ann & Nigel – St. Mary's Church, Great Baddow & Russells Restaurant, Great Baddow

It was a beautiful day when we arrived at Ann and Nigel’s house, where the girls were busily getting ready. After taking some pictures of Ann and the girls in the garden we left to go to St. Mary’s Church, Great Baddow, for the Church service. On arrival we took a few pictures of Nigel with his Groomsmen, before they took their places in the Church. After the Ceremony, Ann and Nigel greeted their Guests in between a few family group pictures being taken. The Guests mingled whilst we took Ann and Nigel for a short stroll around the Church grounds for a few Bride and Groom portraits. Ann and Nigel then walked the short distance from the Church to Russells Restaurant, where the Wedding Reception was being held. The timbered barn with its high ceiling provided us with some lovely shots. After the Wedding Breakfast and Speeches, we stayed for the First Dance and took a few evening pictures. This was our first visit to Russells Restaurant for a Wedding Reception and we would like to thank Robert for being friendly and helpful, which was very much appreciated.
