  • Prested Hall Wedding Photography for Rebecca & Tom

    Prested Hall Wedding Photography

    Prested Hall Wedding Photography for Rebecca & Tom – Rebecca and Tom chose the popular Wedding Venue Prested Hall, Feering, for their relaxed early spring Wedding.  We met Rebecca upstairs in the Bridal Room at Prested Hall, as she was getting ready with her Mum’ Bridesmaids and Flowergirls. With lots going on we captured a few images as well as taking a few pictures of Rebecca’s details and accessories.

    Essex Wedding Photographer Prested Hall Tom arrived at Prested Hall a little while later, with his Parents and Brother. We took a few pictures of them with the car before they were joined by Tom’s BestMan and Ushers.

Once Rebecca was ready we took a couple of pictures before it was time for the Ceremony.  Rebecca looked a picture as she made her entrance into the Orangery for the Civil Service.  Prested Hall Recommended Wedding PhotographerAfter the Ceremony, Rebecca and Tom led their Guests into the Lounge area for the Drinks Reception.  Although dry outside, it was rather chilly, so we made use of the sheltered entrance outside Prested Hall for the requested family pictures. Following these pictures we carried on with Rebecca and Tom’s ‘together’ pictures.  We achieved some nice portraits in a short amount of time, making sure Rebecca did not shiver too much! Rebecca and Tom returned to their Guests and to the warmth of Prested Hall! They socialised up until it was time for the Wedding Breakfast.  As we had not visited the Bridge during Rebecca and Tom’s pictures earlier, so during a break in the Wedding Breakfast there was just enough time to take a few pictures of them over there. Speeches were after the meal and then everybody mingled in the rooms at Prested Hall whilst the Band set up for the evening entertainment. Once the Evening Guests had arrived Rebecca and Tom cut their Wedding Cake and took to the dance floor for their First Dance.  After capturing some photos of the evening celebrations, our final picture of the night was a ‘sparklers’ shot.Prested Hall Wedding Photography A lovely Wedding, a delightful couple! A pleasure as always working with David from Rideout.

    It was a beautiful day for Sasha and Neil’s Wedding at Smeetham Hall Barn, Bulmer, Suffolk.  Sasha, her Bridesmaids and Parents were getting ready at The Mill Hotel, Sudbury and that’s where we met them early on the Wedding Day.  After capturing some getting ready pictures, we took a few formal pictures when they were all dressed.

After meeting with the Registrars, Sasha took her Father’s arm and joined the Bridesmaids in the Marquee, before they made their way into the Barn for the Ceremony.  Sasha and Neil exchanged their vows with the sun streaming in through the windows.  After the Ceremony, Sasha and Neil led the way into the Marquee where they spent a little while talking with their Guests. During the Drinks Reception, the requested family pictures were taken outside as it was dry and bright. The grounds of Smeetham Hall Barn looked lovely bathed in winter sunshine and Sasha and Neil as well as ourselves wanted to make the most of the opportunity.Wedding Photography Smeetham Hall Barn  Later the Speeches took place followed by the Wedding Breakfast.Wedding Photographer Smeetham Hall Barn Whilst the Barn was arranged for the evening Reception and the Band was setting up, it was nice to take some shots of Sasha and Neil by the Christmas Tree.  Sasha and Neil’s evening Guests arrived and a short while later it was time for the cake cutting and the First Dance. Smeetham Hall Barn at night looks beautiful and before we left we took a couple of pictures of Sasha and Neil outside.  A lovely end to our Wedding photography coverage of a wonderful couple and a fantastic day.Smeetham Hall Barn Bulmer Suffolk
