  • Prested Hall Wedding Photography for Anna & Michael

    Prested Hall Wedding Photography for Anna and Michael. The couple chose the lovely Prested Hall for their Wedding at the end of last year.

    Sunny but flooded!

    Weather wise it was not the day that Anna and Michael thought it would be. Although sunny on the day the previous 3 days were heavy rain. Prior to the day access to Prested Hall had been pretty limited. Having photographed many Weddings at Prested Hall, we thought we had seen everything. Usually the lake is the other side of the house but what we first saw as we arrived surprised us! The rain had ceased in the morning and the water was slowly draining away, with a little help from a pump!

    Preparations

    Once inside Prested Hall we went upstairs to find Anna and her Bridesmaids. Preparations were going well. Michael was in the later stages of getting ready so when he was ready we went outside for a few pictures.

    Afterwards Michael, with his Best Woman, Nikki, went back inside to see the Guests. When Anna was ready with the Bridesmaids. we took some pictures of them all. Anna’s sons, James and Harry, came into to see her before proceeding downstairs.

    Wedding Ceremony

    Anna took James’ arm and went into the room for the Wedding Ceremony. Harry proudly played his part in being the Ring Bearer. Following the Ceremony we went outside. There was just enough room to stand on the drier hard standing to take some requested family pictures. David’s feet got a little wet! Once these pictures were completed everybody went back inside Prested Hall for the Drinks Reception.

    Dry Feet

    We captured a variety of informal pictures during the time upto the Wedding Breakfast. Before that though, we took Anna and Michael outside for their pictures. Out the back we were really lucky, we used the decking, so Anna and Michael did not get wet feet! A beautiful sunset for Anna and Michael as well.

    Evening Photos

    After the meal it was time for the Speeches. James and Nikki did Anna and Michael proud. The Evening Guests arrived a little while later and Anna and Michael cut their Wedding Cake and took to the dance floor for their First Dance.

    A couple of final pictures by the Christmas Tree of the happy couple finished our photography coverage. An interesting day of Prested Hall Wedding Photography for Anna and Michael!

    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.
