It is always a pleasure to visit The Lawn, Rochford, which is where Lauren was preparing for her Wedding. Having taken a few pictures of Lauren with her Attendants, we made our way to Holy Trinity Church, Rayleigh, to photograph Neil and his Attendants, before Lauren arrived. After the Church service we took a formal group of the Bridal party followed by confetti shots, to minimise the time spent at the Church. I took a few pictures of the Guests as we travelled back to The Lawn on a double-decker bus. The weather was beautifully warm for the Drinks Reception, whilst we took the requested family group pictures with some good fun pictures of the Bridal party. After spending a few minutes creating Lauren and Neil’s romantic pictures, everyone was seated for the Wedding Breakfast in The Orangery. Not wanting to take too much of Lauren and Neil’s time, we kept the range of evening shots to a couple, with very pleasing results!

Wedding Photography for Maria & Kev at Layer Marney Tower, near Colchester, Essex
A beautiful summer’s day greeted us as we arrived at Maria’s Parents’ house for a few photographs of the final preparations of Maria, and her Bridesmaids. Maria and Kev chose the lovely Layer Marney Tower, for their special day and as we arrived at Layer Marney, we took Kev and his Groomsmen for a few photographs before the arrival of Maria. The Civil Wedding Ceremony was held in the Corsellis Room and afterwards whilst the Guests enjoyed the sunshine around the grounds of Layer Marney, Maria and Kev went for a short ride in the Layer Marney Rolls Royce. A few family group pictures were taken in front of the Tower as well as capturing informal pictures. After the Wedding Breakfast and Speeches, as the light was good and it was not quite as hot, we took Maria and Kev for a short walk around the grounds of Layer Marney for their photographs, followed by fun, relaxed pictures of Maria, Kev, the Bridesmaids, Flower Girls,Best Men and Ushers.

It was already a lovely warm day when we arrived at Stoke-by-Nayland Hotel, Leavenheath, for the Wedding of Kerry & Marc.

The Civil Ceremony was held in the Devora Suite and afterwards Kerry, Marc and their Guests made their way out to the Balcony. Whilst the Guests enjoyed the Drinks Reception we took Kerry and Marc for a short time down to the Lake for their Bride and Groom portraits. On our return Kerry and Marc had some time to mingle with their Guests whilst we took some informal pictures. A few family group pictures followed before the Wedding Breakfast and Speeches. After it being such a sunny day a couple of beautiful sunset pictures ended our day and made a lovely ending to their pictures.

Wedding Photography for Helen & Stephen – Hedingham Castle
Helen and Stephen chose the wonderful medieval castle at Castle Hedingham, Essex, for their Wedding. It was a glorious day and with lots of Bridesmaids, Ushers, Flower Girls, Pageboys, Guests, with lots going on, the weather was an added advantage. Helen was getting ready in the Georgian House with all her attendants, which made for a fun and lively atmosphere, which made plenty of relaxed photographs. Mark and his attendants arrived and we took them into the Moat in front of the Bridge for their pictures before they made their way to the Norman Keep where the Civil Ceremony was held. After the Ceremony, the Toastmaster, David Mills, helped us arrange the family groups so the Guests were not kept waiting too long for the Drinks Reception. Just before the Wedding Breakfast we took Helen and Stephen for a few relaxed pictures by the Lake. Following the Speeches and First Dance we took some pictures of evening Guests and finished with a couple of pictures of Helen and Stephen by the Keep.

Pre-Wedding Pictures
We had a really nice pre-wedding session with Clare and Paul recently. They are getting married shortly at Parklands, Quendon Hall. After meeting at their house and discussing final details of their Wedding, we travelled a short distance to where Clare’s horse, Jasper, is stabled. Clare and Paul wanted some pictures of them with Jasper. It was such a lovely day, so as well as taking pictures of the three of them, we took the opportunity to take a few pictures of Clare and Paul around the farm as well, resulting in some lovely pictures!

Wedding Photography for Helene & Mark at Leez Priory
As we arrived at Leez Priory for Helene and Mark’s Wedding Day, Helene’s hair and make up was underway in the cottage before the girls moved to the main House, for the finishing touches. Meanwhile Mark made his final preparations in the Granary. The Wedding Ceremony was held under the Tower in the warm afternoon sunshine. Whilst the Guests were enjoying the Drinks Reception, we took a few pictures of Helene and Mark with their Wedding Car before their family group pictures. After the Wedding Breakfast in the Coach House we took some Bride and Groom portraits around the beautiful grounds including the Lake. Later, Helene and Mark decided to perform their First Dance outside to enable their wheelchair-bound Guest to watch, and just as we were leaving the sunset got even better and we ended with a great picture!

Wedding Photography for Lauren & David at Gaynes Park, Epping
A lovely warm day greeted us at home for the start of Lauren and David’s Wedding Day. Lauren and her Bridesmaids were extremely relaxed enjoying the many preparations going on and this made for some nice informal pictures. After taking a few pictures of Lauren in the garden we left to go to St Mary’s Church, Chigwell, for the Ceremony. Following the church service, Lauren and David greeted their Guests outside the Church, proceeded by a few pictures of the two of them at the Church door. Lauren and David left the Church, past confetti throwers in the glorious sunshine. On arrival at Gaynes Park, Lauren and David socialised with their Guests before we organised the family group pictures to be taken in the Walled Garden. Gaynes Park provides ample opportunities for photographs and as we were there until after the First Dance, we were able to get such varied beautiful pictures. An evening stroll for Lauren and David provided us with a closing picture which captured a wonderful day.

The Wedding of Kelly and Dan had many links to previous Weddings within their families and it was nice to meet a number of familiar faces again.

The Wedding Ceremony was held at English Martyrs Church, Danbury, where a few pictures were taken, then we moved on the Reception at Stock Brook Country Club, Billericay. The back lawn provided the setting for the main family group shots, with some relaxed pictures of Kelly and Dan, by the path beside the Golf Course.
