Fennes Wedding Photographer for Naomi & Paul

Fennes Wedding Photographer for Naomi & Paul

We meet so many nice people being a Fennes Wedding photographer Naomi and Paul being no different! Our day started with going to see Naomi first at Fennes to see how preparations were going. Everything was going well with Naomi in the final stages of hair and make up.

David went off to find Paul who was getting ready with his Best Man, Clifford. When they were ready they walked over to the House. It was a nice dry day with sunshine so Paul had a few pictures taken with his Best Man and with a few Guests outside.

Upstairs in Fennes House Naomi was getting dressed assisted by her sister. Naomi was soon ready for to have some family pictures and some pictures of her taken. Naomi looked lovely.

Fennes Wedding Ceremony

Paul and Naomi chose to have their Wedding Ceremony in the Pavilion so the Guests made their way into the Pavilion and took their seats.

Naomi’s Mother and Father had flown over from Japan for their daughter’s Wedding and it was a lovely moment when her Father greeted her at the bottom of the stairs.

Ready for the Ceremony, Naomi took her Father’s arm and made her way into the Pavilion. After the Ceremony inside and outside of Fennes was used for the Drinks Reception and this made for some nice informal pictures.Paul and Naomi wanted some family pictures as well which we took during the afternoon. A walk around the grounds for their pictures ended with some nice pictures of the two of them. After the confetti shots it was time for the Wedding Breakfast. The Speeches followed.

Evening Celebrations

Before the evening celebrations we took the ‘heart’ shot and a couple of other pictures in Fennes. Naomi and Paul returned to their Guests.

Never quite knowing if there would be a sunset this evening we hoped we would get some colour in the sky! We were lucky but had to be extremely quick! It did work and we were all very pleased! After Naomi and Paul’s cutting of the cake and First Dance and happy with our coverage of their Wedding, it was time for us to leave. A lovely couple and a wonderful Wedding and another great day to be a Fennes Wedding Photographer!

Mulberry House Wedding Photography for Lauren & Bodj (aka Jordan)

Mulberry House Wedding Photography for Lauren & Bodj (aka Jordan)

David and I were really looking forward to the Mulberry House Wedding Photography for Lauren & Bodj’s Wedding. We have known Bodj for many years as he is a very good friend of our son’s. We have known Lauren for a while as well!

We arrived at Mulberry House as it started raining. The weather forecast for the day was not brilliant but as usual we had our plans ready! Lauren was getting ready in the House with all the girls, so off we went off to see them. They were all relaxed, enjoying the preparations. We captured the details, preparations, fun and laughter.

We photographed Lauren’s Wedding Dress and shoes in the bedroom next door as there was more space. We knew that we would be using this room at other times also!

The Groomsmen

David was waiting for Bodj and his Groomsmen to arrive and when they were ready took their pictures. It was raining but not hard enough to stop David from being outside. The men stayed in the porch and on the steps, just in the dry! Pictures finished, Bodj and his Groomsmen went inside greet the Guests.

The girls were now ready for their pictures so we got on with those and had time to take some lovely Bridal portraits of the beautiful Lauren!

The Wedding Ceremony

Once the Wedding Guests made their way over to the Ceremony Room and took their seats, Lauren came downstairs where her Dad was waiting. A proud Father moment!

Justin and Nathan the Ushers escorted the Bridesmaids over to the Ceremony room holding umbrellas! Heather the Co-ordinator helped Lauren walk the short distance to the room making sure she didn’t get wet.

Lauren was escorted up the aisle by her Mum and Dad. Some lovely moments during the Ceremony, great to capture. Following the Ceremony, everyone went back over to Mulberry House. We took some nice pictures as they came out, umbrellas as well! The Reception Drinks were in the Conservatory so everyone socialised there. After a little while we started taking the requested family pictures. With a bit of temporary furniture removal we had enough space. We even managed to do a couple of big group pictures. Unfortunately outside pictures were totally out of the question today but we found many places inside Mulberry House to take Lauren and Bodj’s ‘together’ pictures. Before the Wedding Breakfast it was time for the Speeches.

Good Speeches and great reactions. After the meal there was a short time for us to take Lauren and Bodj for a few extra pictures. Although the rain had not completely stopped but we all went outside anyway. It was worth it, making Lauren & Bodj some lovely pictures.

The Evening Reception

Before the cake cutting Lauren & Bodj had time with the evening Guests.

The happy couple then took to the dance floor for their First Dance. Everyone else joined them shortly afterwards. Sometime later after we had captured a flavour of the evening, taken a night shot it was time to go. Lauren and Bodj’s Wedding Day was wonderful! A fantastic couple, easy going and a real pleasure to work with. Thank you so much Lauren and Bodj! Congratulations!

Wedding Photography Town Hall Braintree for Jenny & Sam

Wedding Photography Town Hall Braintree for Jenny & Sam

Jenny & Sam booked us for their Wedding Photography Town Hall Braintree.

When we arrived at the Town Hall we met with Sam who had just arrived with his Best Man, Alex. We made the most of the peaceful time taking a few pictures of them.

Sam was a bit worried as the Guests were not arriving as early as he expected! As is often the case they had arrived but as they waited outside for more of them to arrive and then make their entrance! Sam then mingled in the Foyer for a little while.

It wasn’t long before Jenny arrived out at the back of the Town Hall escorted by her Dad. They were showed into a room out of sight of everyone else. Jenny and her Mother and Father were joined by the Bridesmaids, and Pageboys. This gave us the opportunity of taking a few pictures before the Ceremony.

The Guests took their seats and Jenny, her Mum, Dad and Bridesmaids went upstairs into the connecting room. Jenny and her Dad followed the Bridesmaids and Pageboys into the ceremony room.

Afterwards everyone socialised in the rooms enjoying the Drinks Reception as well. Braintree Town Hall is a wonderful building and we certainly made use of everywhere we were allowed to go for pictures. Jenny and Sam wanted a few family group pictures and some other photos and we were happy to do those. For Jenny and Sam’s pictures we photographed them on the stairs and around. A little while later it was time to leave the Town Hall and go to Jardins for the Reception.

Reception at Jardins

At Jardins, more Guests arrived, so we went around and took some informal pictures. After a little while everyone helped themselves to the Buffet and then Jenny and Sam cut their Wedding Cake.

To start the dancing for the evening Jenny and Sam took to the dance floor for their First Dance. We stayed for a while until we were happy with our pictures. Our last pictures of the evening were of Jenny and Sam outside as the sun was going down. A lovely day for Jenny and Sam’s Wedding.

Layer Marney Tower Wedding Photography for Tara & Jordan

Layer Marney Tower Wedding Photography for Tara & Jordan

Tara and Jordan’s Layer Marney Tower Wedding Photography included a visit to St Mary’s Church, Layer Marney.

Our first port of call on the morning of the Wedding was at Tara and Jordan’s house. Tara, her Mother and Bridesmaids were getting ready. When we arrived hair and and make up was going on so after capturing a few shots of this happening we went upstairs to photograph Tara’s dress, shoes etc.

Once Tara was ready we took a couple of pictures of her before she walked downstairs to where the Bridesmaids were waiting for her. After a few pictures outside we left to go to the church.

At the Church

Tara and Jordan’s ceremony was to be in the lovely St Mary the Virgin Church in Layer Marney. Jordan and his Groomsmen were carrying out their duties when we arrived so in between we took their pictures. We captured a few documentary guest arrival pictures before Tara arrived.

Tara was escorted by her Mother and they walked up the path and into the Church. After exchanging vows Tara and Jordan signed the Register. It was nice to capture some informal pictures during this time.

After all the formalities and the end of the service, Tara and Jordan exited the Church. Their Guests had lined the path and as Tara and Jordan came down the path they were showered in confetti.

Layer Marney Tower Reception

Tara and Jordan then went for a short ride in the Layer Marney Rolls Royce car. Meanwhile the Wedding Guests slowly walked from the Church to Layer Marney Tower. It was a wonderful sight capturing all the people, colours, the weather of the day, merriment as they made their through the gates towards the tower.

Tara and Jordan returned shortly from their car ride and made their way through the gates and to the Tower.The Drinks Reception was in full swing. During the afternoon we took the requested family pictures together with a variety of other pictures. The Speeches took place outside on the steps and the Guests congregated on the lawn. It was a lovely idea and worked very well, relaxed and some nice pictures were taken. Time for the Hog Roast! The evening was superb, soft evening light, warm, everyone enjoying the wonderful grounds around Layer Marney. Whilst Tara and Jordan’s Guests were socialising we took the happy couple around the grounds for a few more pictures. The heat had gone out of the day and the sun was beginning to set. Some lovely pictures captured on the bridge finishing with a superb sunset.

Tara and Jordan then cut their Wedding Cake in the Long Gallery and then it was time for their First Dance. We finished coverage of Tara and Gordon’s Wedding Day with a nightime picture of the Tower.

A wonderful day of Layer Marney Tower Wedding Photography.

Pontlands Park Wedding Photography – Nicola & Glenn

Pontlands Park Wedding Photography – Nicola and Glenn booked us for coverage of their Evening Wedding Celebrations.

Nicola and Glenn were married abroad a week prior so this was for the UK evening party!

When we arrived at Pontlands Park, Nicola and Glenn were putting the finishing touches to the room layout. Leaving them to it for a little while we went to refamiliarise ourselves with the grounds, having been a couple of yeears since our last wedding there.

When the room was all set up Nicola and Glenn then changed into their Wedding attire. As they came down the stairs we took a few pictures. Nicola and Glenn wanted some pictures outside of the two of them and as the weather was lovely that is where we went. We took a variety of pictures before their Guests arrived. Nicola and Glenn then had time to greet their Guests before we took a few requested family group pictures outside the Hotel. As the weather had been wonderful all day, there was a sunset.

These pictures were a great way to end the outside photos. Inside Guests were socialising and the Band was ready for Nicola and Glenn’s First Dance. After this everyone took to the dance floor or just chatted with friends and family. During this time we took some informal pictures of the dancing, mini relaxed groups and overall pictures to show what was going on. Later, happy with our coverage of Nicola and Glenn’s Wedding Celebrations we said ‘goodbye’ to everyone. A lovely evening!

Witham Pre-Wedding Photos for Lauren and Bodj – One evening in the summer last year Lauren and Bodj came to see us again. This time it was for their Pre-Wedding photos and a chat about their forthcoming Wedding at Mulberry House, Ongar.

Whilst talking about their Wedding the sunset was getting better and better. We really wanted to work with the soft evening light.

With all the details completed we jumped in the car to go five minutes up the road where the sunset was best.

A good result! Great to catch up with Lauren and Bodj. They made a lovely set of happy relaxed photographs!

Newland Hall Wedding Photography – Rachel & Alex

Rachel and Alex booked us for Newland Hall Wedding Photography for their wonderful summer Wedding last year.

Rachel’s preparations started off at home. Rachel’s hair was completed and the Bridesmaids hair and make up were all finished. This did help as there were lots of Bridesmaids!

We were there as Rachel arrived. Before they went into Newland Hall to finish their preparations we took a few pictures of them in the sunshine.

Alex and his Groomsmen arrived and we captured some pictures in front of Newland Hall. They then carried out their duties as the Guests were arriving.

Upstairs in the Bridal Dressing Room, Rachel was having her make-up done whilst the girls got changed into their dresses. Once the Bridesmaids were ready they went downstairs so there was more space for Rachel to get changed and have a few pictures. Rachel’s Mum was helping Rachel get dressed and when this was completed we got on with taking a few Bridal pictures. Time was getting on and Rachel’s Father was waiting downstairs to see her. Time was running very short but we managed a couple of minutes for pictures.

Outdoor Ceremony

The Wedding Ceremony was taking place outside so when it was time everyone made their way over to the Gazebo in the gardens. After Rachel and Alex had completed the formalities and had been given their Marriage Certificate they exited the Gazebo .Rachel and Alex then went into the House for a few minutes. The Guests made their way to the front of Newland Hall where they waited for Rachel and Alex to join them. Rachel and Alex were covered with confetti as they came out of Newland Hall. Afterwards everybody went to the lawn for the Drinks Reception.

Nick Crown is a great magician and he entertained the guests giving us some great reaction shots! We took the requested family pictures as well as capturing the informal and fun pictures and together pictures of Rachel and Alex.Afternoon Tea was held in the Marquee later, followed by the Speeches.

Soft Evening Light

The evening light was wonderful so when the Speeches were finished, we took Rachel and Alex for a walk around the grounds of Newland Hall for their pictures. Some lovely images.Rachel and Alex’s evening Guests were arriving as we made our way back to join everyone. They greeted them whilst we captured the beginning of the evening celebrations. Before Rachel and Alex took to the dance floor for their First Dance Rachel tossed her bouquet.

Later, happy with our coverage of Rachel and Alex’s Wedding we left them to enjoy the party.

Thank you Rachel and Alex for asking us to be your Wedding Photographers, you are a lovely couple, we loved working with you and enjoyed your Wedding.
