It was nice to meet Debi and Rob again recently for their Pre-Wedding Test Photos. Before we went out to take a few pictures we talked about their forthcoming Wedding at Fennes which is coming up soon. It is always good to meet our couples before the big day to familiarise ourselves with one another giving the Wedding Day a much more relaxed feeling to it.
What a glorious day to be Fennes Wedding Photographer for Stephanie and Paul’s Wedding at this stunning Venue! Starting at Fennes on the morning of the Wedding there was a hive of activity, excitement and people everywhere! With a large Bridal Party of adults and children it was lively! After saying ‘hello’, a quick chat and familiarising ourselves with where we would be taking pictures of the dresses, accessories, we got on with our work.
Sienna, Stephanie and Paul’s eldest daughter was very involved from the outset, helping and enjoying every moment. Ellie took a little while to do the same but then found it was good fun! Paul was in the Bridal Cottage finishing off his preparations so David went over there to meet him. When Paul,his Groomsmen and the Pageboys were ready there was time to take a few pictures before the ceremony. Meanwhile, Stephanie, the Bridesmaids and Flowergirls were getting dressed. Wow! Stephanie looked stunning as did the Bridesmaids and Flowergirls. The Pageboys looked so smart as well when they joined the girls. There was time to take a few pictures of them all before Stephanie headed downstairs. Stephanie’s Grandad was waiting for her at the bottom of the stairs and after greeting Stephanie they went in to to see the Registrars. Paul and the Wedding Guests were seated at the last moment outside for the Ceremony as it was a hot day, just in time for the Ceremony to begin! Lovely pictures as the children led the way from the Gold Room towards the Gazebo.
Stephanie took her Grandad’s arm followed the Bridesmaids. The beautiful colour scheme that Stephanie and Paul had chosen for their Wedding enhanced the setting. Following the Ceremony and after Stephanie and Paul spent a little time with their Guests we got on with the requested family pictures. Moving over to the trees for the Bridal Party pictures for a little shade!
During the afternoon we captured relaxed informal pictures of everyone and spent a few minutes with Stephanie and Paul around the grounds for their pictures. Just before the Wedding Breakfast Stephanie and Paul were covered in confetti. The Pavilion looked lovely for the Wedding Breakfast. We covered the Speeches which provided great amusement and reactions. Stephanie and Paul took the opportunity for some time in the grounds in the evening as did a number of the Guests. We took this opportunity of a few evening pictures of the two of them as well as taking relaxed informal pictures of their Guests.
Evening Guests arrived and Stephanie and Paul spent some time with them before sunset. On our return Stephanie and Paul cut their Wedding Cake and had their First Dance. We left them a little later to continue their evening celebrations. A wonderful day!
The wonderful Fennes was the choice of Wedding Venue for Natalie and Craig’s Wedding. An outside Ceremony was what Natalie and Craig were wishing for, so it was fingers crossed the weather would hold. Natalie was getting ready upstairs with the help of her Bridesmaids, so first of all we went to see them. Craig was getting ready in the Bridal Cottage with his son Max, and when they were in the final stages of getting ready we were there to take the pictures. Prior to Natalie and Craig’s Wedding Day, Natalie had dislocated her Collar bone so she was trying not to use her arm very much! Once the men were ready they had a few pictures taken outside Fennes before they went about their duties.
Natalie and the girls were now ready and after her Stepdad saw her for the first look we took a few pictures of them all before it was time for Natalie to see the Registrars. So far the weather was staying fine, maybe a little cooler that recently but nothing to stop the outdoor Ceremony. The Guests were seated and with everyone in place it was time for Natalie to walk the short distance to the Gazebo. Natalie and Craig’s dog led the way, carrying the rings! The rain stayed away, just!
After the Ceremony the Guests enjoyed the Drinks Reception with some going inside and others staying outside eating ice cream! Later we got on with taking the requested family group pictures followed by a few pictures of Natalie and Craig around the grounds. Natalie wanted to be held up for a picture, the men and Max did this very carefully! 
The Wedding Breakfast was held in the Pavilion, followed by the Speeches. After the Speeches there was a little time before the start of the evening celebrations for a few relaxed pictures of Natalie and Craig in the Gold Room and Red Room at the front of the House. The cutting of the cake followed and then Natalie and Craig took to the dance floor for their First Dance. Our day ended with an evening pictures of Natalie and Craig on the Bridge. A lovely day! 
Thank you to Sue and all at Fennes for looking after us.
Fennes is a beautiful setting for a Wedding and it looked wonderful as we arrived for Stacey and Michael’s Wedding in May. Stacey was getting ready upstairs in the House and Michael was getting ready in the Lodges. Stacey and Michael’s sons, Noah and Harry were with their Daddy, with the plan that they joined Stacey once she was dressed. Preparations were going well and they were all very relaxed.
Michael, his Best Man, Ushers and the boys had a few photos taken when they were ready. Noah and Harry then went upstairs to the Bridal Room to see their Mummy, who looked amazing! After taking some pictures of them all, it was time to go downstairs where Stacey met with the Registrars. The Registrars made their way outside for the Ceremony and Stacey took her father’s arm and went into the Gold Room ready to walk outside. 
Noah and Harry happily led the way and during the Ceremony they handed over the rings. Following the Ceremony, everyone enjoyed the Drinks Reception, the children were blowing bubbles, whilst adults mingled. In between we took some requested family pictures and later on managed to find time for some pictures of Stacey and Michael. 
It was soon time for the Wedding Breakfast which was held in the Pavilion. After the Speeches, there were garden games in the grounds which kept everybody entertained. Making the most of the evening sunshine Guests enjoyed strolling around the grounds which gave us the opportunity of taking some evening pictures of Stacey and Michael. When the Evening Guests arrived Stacey and Michael cut their Wedding Cake, which was followed by their First Dance. Stacey and Michael provided their Guests props for ‘fun pictures’ which we captured. A nice day provided a lovely sunset picture. We took our leave a little while later. A wonderful day!
A brilliant day yesterday! Fennes looked a picture! Nice to meet many couples and chat with them about their Wedding plans at Fennes and thanks to the couples who booked us.
Wedding Photography Fennes for Natalie and Matthew – It was a beautiful day when we arrived at Fennes, Bocking, for the Wedding of Natalie and Matthew. Preparations were going well with the girls and all things were running smoothly. The Fennes Estate looked superb and when Matthew and his Groomsmen arrived we took advantage of the setting for their pictures. Once the girls were ready, we took a few portraits before it was time for the Civil Ceremony. 
Natalie and Matthew chose to have their Wedding Ceremony in the Pavilion, which as usual looked lovely. Afterwards, everybody made their way outside at the front of Fennes for the Drinks Reception. After the requested family group pictures were taken, the Guests were left to enjoy the Drinks Reception for a few minutes in the warm sunshine, while we took Natalie and Matthew for their pictures. 
Using the remaining bluebells for some of their together pictures worked very well before they returned to join the guests. 
With a few fun Bridal Party pictures done, it was then time for the Receiving Line and the Wedding Breakfast. After the speeches there was enough time before the Evening Reception for us to take some images of Natalie and Matthew in the Gold Room and by the Bridal Cottage. With their Evening Guests arriving we took a few informal pictures of them before and after the First Dance. We finished our coverage of Natalie and Matthew’s Wedding with a sunset picture and one under the illuminated pergola.
