Fennes Wedding Photography – Emma & Will

Fennes Wedding Photography – Emma & Will

Wedding Photography Fennes – Emma and Will chose the popular and wonderful Wedding Venue of Fennes for their summer Wedding.

It was a hot day for Emma and Will’s outdoor Wedding. We arrived at the Fennes Estate in plenty of time to capture the preparations for both Emma and Will. Emma was getting ready in the house whilst Will was getting ready in the Cottage. Once Will and his Groomsmen were ready, they had a few pictures taken around the grounds. Will and his Groomsmen then greeted the Guests as they arrived. Upstairs in the House Emma was being helped into her Wedding Dress by her Bridesmaids. When Emma was dressed, she looked stunning, Mum came into the room with Zachary, Emma and Will’s son, some lovely moments. After a few pictures, Emma went down the stairs where her Father was waiting before then going to see the Registrars.

The Guests were taking their seats outside for the Ceremony. The Fennes white umbrellas were being used as sunshades as it was so hot! The Bridesmaids were the first to walk to the Gazebo, followed by Emma holding her Dad’s arm. After the Ceremony we took the ‘everybody’ picture before the Drinks Reception. Emma and Will then had time to mingle with their Guests during the Drinks Reception.

The Picture Session

The family pictures and some fun Bridal Party pictures were taken in our usual relaxed maner. Before the Wedding Breakfast we took Emma and Will’s pictures around Fennes. We finished with a posed cake shot and some confetti shots in the Gold Room.

The Guests were seated in the Pavilion for the Wedding Breakfast Emma and Will made their entrance. We left them all to enjoy the meal and the rest of the their Wedding Day.

A beautiful day of Fennes Wedding Photography!

Cliffs Pavilion Wedding photography – Tricia & Colin

Cliffs Pavilion Wedding photography – Tricia & Colin

Cliffs Pavilion Wedding Photography – Tricia and Colin’s summer Wedding last year was held at the Cliffs Pavilion, Southend-on-Sea. It was a sunny and warm but extremely windy day, but we coped!

Arriving at Cliffs Pavilion we went off to find Colin who was in the Ceremony room. Everything was going to take place in the one room and finalising the details was going well.

We managed to take a few pictures of Colin with his Groomsmen outside and their hats stayed on! Soon it was time for Tricia to arrive, so we left Colin and went upstairs to await Tricia. At least Tricia didn’t have far to walk until she was inside the building. Meanwhile the Wedding Guests were being greeted by the Lady Ushers and they took their seats for the Ceremony.

The Ceremony

Tricia escorted by her Brother entered the room for the Ceremony. Ring exchange was saved for the religious part of the ceremony which would follow on once the Registrars left. After the Registers were signed Tricia and Colin walked down the aisle and then waited at the entrance to the room.

The Guests stayed seated whilst the room was changed around. We took a few pictures of Tricia and Colin whilst this was happening. For the Blessing service, a Band and singers performed, Tricia and Colin exchanged rings and extra words were said.

Following the finish of the service Tricia and Colin went outside for a couple of pictures by the car. The Guests were served Drinks and entertained by a Singer. After Tricia and Colin spent a little time with their Guests during the Drinks Reception we got on with the requested family pictures.

There was shelter from the wind outside the building which is where we took the pictures. For Tricia and Colin’s ‘together’ pictures we found a secluded area not far from where we were and that was fortunately out of the wind. With some social time left Tricia and Colin spent time with their Guests before the Greeting Line. The Wedding Breakfast followed.

A little while after the Speeches took place Tricia and Colin cut their Wedding Cake and took to the dance floor for their First Dance. Guests then joined them, Colin played his Guitar to add to the evening celebrations. Our last pictures of the evening were of the Sunset, still with a strong wind! It was time for us to say our ‘goodbyes’ after a nice Wedding Day for Tricia and Colin. It was nice to see Trish and Chris again, we photographed their Wedding at St Margaret’s Church, Downham, in 2016. It was also good to work with Humble Productions again as well.

High House Wedding Photography – Beth & Jason

High House Wedding Photography – Beth & Jason

High House Wedding Photography at last! When previously asked to photograph Weddings at High House Althorne, we have already been booked for other wedding venues. It was great now to actually photograph at this wonderful venue.

Our day started early at High House at the Bridal Dressing area where Beth was getting ready with her Parents and Bridesmaids. The setting looked lovely and it was good to take a few pictures around before it became filled up with people. Beth’s preparations were going well. Beth opened her present from Jason whilst the finishing touches were being applied to the Bridesmaids.

Beth and Jason were having a Church Wedding so there was not a lot of spare time but enough for a few pictures outside in the gardens.

St Mary’s Church, Woodham Ferrers

David and I then left to go to St Mary’s Church, Woodham Ferrers. The sun was shining brightly when we got to the Church. The Guests walked up the long path to the Church through an avenue of trees making for some nice arrival pictures.Jason was with his Groomsmen and before they greeted too many of the Guests we got on with taking their pictures. The Flowergirls and Pageboy were at the Church as well and had a few pictures taken as well. They were excitedly awaiting the arrival of Beth which made for some nice images. It wasn’t very long before they all went into the Church, Beth had arrived.

At the Church doorway, Beth took her Father’s arm and entered the Church. After the Church service, a little time for meeting and greeting then we got on with taking the requested family pictures. These went very smoothly in next to no time.

The Confetti

The Guests lined the path and showered Beth and Jason in confetti as they left the Church.Everyone made then made their way to the Reception at High House.

Wedding Reception at High House

The Stable Bar Courtyard was where everyone socialised and had where the Drinks Reception was held. When Beth and Jason arrived they joined their Guests for a while to unwind and relax. During this this time we took some informal and small group pictures. Before the Wedding Breakfast Beth and Jason’s together pictures were taken around the grounds. The wind was getting up but there are many areas to get out of the wind this wasn’t a problem. The Wedding Breakfast was held in the Marquee and once the Guests were seated Beth and Jason made their entrance and took their seats. After the meal it was time for the Speeches. Following this Beth and Jason’s evening Guests started to arrive.

The Evening Reception

Beth tossed her bouquet to her group of friends before the cake cutting. Beth and Jason had their first dance together before the dancing properly began. Fingers were crossed for a few nice evening pictures. So lucky! A brilliant sunset topped it all! Happy with our coverage we then went to say our ‘goodbyes’. It was nice to see Chris and Hannah again and to meet their son, Felix. Chris an Hannah were married at Fennes in 2016. Thank you for recommending us to Beth and Jason.

A lovely day, Beth and Jason, thank you. We are looking forward to our next High House Wedding Photography!

Essex Barn Wedding – Sarah & Bob

Essex Barn Wedding Photography – Sarah & Bob

Sarah and Bob had an Essex Barn wedding at Crabbs Barn, Kelvedon.

It was beautiful weather at a wonderful Venue. As we arrived we were joined by some of the Wedding Guests. Meeting and greeting happened so we captured these moments. Some Guests had arrived early and made the most of the setting enjoying the weather.

After Bob had spoken to some of the Guests we took him, together with his Ushers and Best Man for a few pictures.

It was soon time for them all to go into the Barn and take their seats for the Ceremony. Sarah travelled to the venue with her two sons and Bridesmaids. Matthew and Adam,Jayne and Sophie had done a good job in calming the nerves that Sarah felt! After a few pictures and seeing the Registrars, Sarah escorted by Matthew and Adam entered the Barn.

It’s Now or Never!

Sarah’s nerves were on hold but as Sarah walked up the aisle they made an appearance! As Sarah arrived at the front the nervous tears went, these were replaced with laughter and tears of joy! Bob had arranged to change the music to ‘It’s now or never” as Sarah arrived. Everyone fell about laughing, this was very apt as Sarah and Bob have been together for 30 years and only now decided to get married! Wonderful moments, lovely pictures. Once the formalities were over Sarah and Bob went out of the Barn and went off for a short ride in the car. Their Guests enjoyed Drinks and Canapies during this time. When Sarah and Bob returned they had a little time to socialise before we got on with taking some requested pictures. A few fun/informal pictures followed. Later following the confetti pictures it was time for the Wedding Breakfast.

The Speeches

The Speeches took place after the meal, some great reactions. Evening Guests arrived to join in the celebrations. During the evening we went for a short walk with Sarah and Bob around Crabbs Barn finishing in the field for a sunset. Cutting of the Wedding Cake was then followed by the their First Dance and dancing. Sarah and Bob wanted a beautiful relaxed, jovial Wedding which is certainly what they had. Thank you Sarah and Bob for asking us to photograph your Wedding, we really enjoyed it!

Wedding Photography for Sophia & Glen – St Mary Magdalene Church & Prested Hall

Wedding Photography for Sophia & Glen –

St Mary Magdalene Church & Prested Hall

It was a beautiful day for Sophia and Glen’s Wedding photography. Our day started arriving at Orsett Hall where Sophia and her Family were staying.

Sophia was getting ready with her Bridesmaids when we went to see her. Preparations were well under way and the girls were enjoying every minute. As they carried on with their preparations David and I got on with taking the pictures of Sophia’s Wedding Dress and her lovely range of accessories. Once the pictures were taken, Sophia then got into her Wedding Dress, assisted by her Bridesmaids. Sophia looked lovely and before we got on with taking some pictures, her Father came into the room to see her. After taking pictures of all of them, as everyone was ready we had time to go out the front of Orsett Hall for some pictures with the cars. We then left to go to St Mary Magdalene Church at Great Burstead.

St Mary Magdalene Church

Arriving at the Church we went to find Glen and his Groomsmen. When they were all together we took a few pictures of them outside the Church before they greeted the Wedding Guests and went into the Church. The Church looked lovely decorated inside and outside by Jo of Brown’s Blooms and Balloons. Sophia arrived a short time later and after we took a couple of pictures, she then took her Father’s arm and entered the Church. After the Church service the Wedding Guests came out first with their confetti and waited for Sophia and Glen. As they exited the Church they were covered in confetti, some nice pictures. A few family group shots were taken in the grounds and of course a few with Sophia and Glen with their dog!

Sophia and Glen wanted a few pictures of the two of them in the Church and we happy to go back inside and take these before we all left the Church. Prested Hall was the setting for Sophia and Glen’s Wedding Reception.

Prested Hall

Everyone enjoyed the Drinks Reception and during this time we took some informal pictures and a few other requested ones as well. We had a little time to go over to the Gazebo with Sophia and Glen for a few pictures of them before returning to the Guests and getting everyone together for a big ‘everybody’ picture.

The Wedding Breakfast followed and afterwards it was time for the Speeches. Once these were finished Sophia and Glen had a few relaxed pictures taken with their Bridal Party and we took some relaxed evening pictures around Prested Hall of the two of them. Later Sophia and Glen cut their Wedding Cake and took to the dance floor for their First Dance. Evening Guests had joined the party so we took some informal pictures of them during the evening. Later as a surprise for their Guests Sophia and Glen provided Sparklers. The weather, which had been lovely all day, decided not to play ball! Fortunately it was only light rain and Sophia and Glen ended up with some lovely Sparklers pictures. After this event we said our ‘goodbyes’. A wonderful day and a lovely couple!

Photography for smaller wedding – Hylands Park

Photography for smaller weddings – Hylands Park

Sometimes we get asked for Photography for smaller weddings, which are always a pleasure to cover.

Lisa got in contact with us in the early summer last year by recommendation, which is always nice to know! Lisa and Mark were going to have a small Wedding Ceremony at the Registry Office but wanted a few pictures beforehand. We arranged to meet Lisa and Mark together with their daughters at Hylands Park, Chelmsford.

Although a dry day it was chilly and the girls were glad of their cardigans! Hylands Park provides some lovely photographic opportunities so off we went with the family to see what we could capture. We had an enjoyable time walking around, stopping to take some pictures where we all wanted to. This didn’t take too long and Lisa and Mark ended up with a nice selection of varied pictures around Hylands Park as a few memories of their Wedding Day.
