Gosfield Hall Wedding Photography – Brenda & Richard

Brenda and Richard wanted their Gosfield Hall Wedding to be a relaxing day, which we were more than happy to oblige.

When we arrived on the morning of the Wedding at Gosfield Hall it was a cool and cloudy day. Upstairs at Gosfield Hall Richard was getting ready in one of the rooms whilst Brenda was getting ready in the Rococo Suite. Richard was with his Best Man, Graham and his wife, chatting away whilst finishing their preparations. Once they were ready a few pictures were taken. Brenda was in the final stages of getting ready, having a lovely time. Harry and Kate joined Brenda when they were ready as they were going to walk her down the aisle. Lovely moments in the Rococo Suite. Absolutely a wonderful colour scheme, well done Brenda and Richard!

Meanwhile, downstairs, as the Guests were arriving, we managed to capture some nice pictures of them.

Brenda was soon ready, a few pictures, then as the Guests had taken their seats in the Grand Salon, it was time for Brenda, Harry and Kate to go downstairs for the Ceremony. Emotions were high, many dry eyes at the end of the vows! To end the Ceremony, Brenda and Richard were covered in petals. A lovely spectacle! Some pictures of Brenda and Richard with Gosfield Hall in the background, daffodils and the stag shot afterwards before going back to the inside of Gosfield Hall for the warmth. Everybody had a nice time enjoying the Drinks Reception. Informal pictures of the Guests were great in this setting.

During the afternoon an everybody picture was taken in the Courtyard with a few family group pictures.

The Wedding Breakfast was followed by the Speeches. The evening Guests arrived shortly after just before the cutting of the Wedding Cake. Brenda and Richard’s First Dance was brilliant. They took to the dance floor, a slow dance for under a minute, then a change of rhythm! A brilliant choreographed dance took place to much cheering and clapping! Outstanding! Well done! The Guests then joined them for dancing. Afterwards, the Bride and Groom surprised their Guests again with Sparklers! What a nice way to end our coverage of Brenda and Richard’s wonderful Winter Wedding at Gosfield. Thank you for asking us to be your Wedding Photographers, it was a pleasure.

 
 
 

Maidens Barn Wedding Photography for Alice & Billy

Maidens Barn Wedding Photography for Alice and Billy, what a pleasure it was!

It was a crisp, bright, very cold frosty, winter’s morning in December, when we turned up at St Mary’s Church, Dunmow before the Wedding. A lovely setting.

Preparations

Alice’s family home was where we went to next. Alice was getting ready there with her Bridesmaids. Everyone was chilled and preparations were going well. It wasn’t long before it was time for Alice to put on her Wedding Dress. The Bridesmaids were dressed and waiting for her to join them in the Conservatory. The big reveal took place! Alice looked amazing!

Once the girls had composed themselves we took some pictures.

The Church

Billy and his Best Man and Ushers arrived just after us, so once they were ready we took a few pictures of them.

They then returned to their duties. Guests started to arrive. The Flowergirls and Pageboys congregated at the back of the Church waiting for Alice to arrive. All ready. The flowergirls and Pageboys led the way. Billy was watching and waiting for Alice.

Alice took her Father’s arm and walked toward the front of the Church.

After the service, as it was very cold outside we arranged a few requested family pictures inside the Church. This worked very well.

Happy with the pictures, Alice and Billy then left the Church and were covered in confetti as they made their way from the Church.

Hedingham Castle Wedding – James & Ben

Heddingham Castle

We were happy to be asked to be the photographers for James and Ben’s Hedingham Castle Wedding. They had waited a long time for their special day and what a day it was!

The Morning

The morning of the Wedding proved to be rather wet but we had our fingers crossed that later it would be fine. James and Ben were getting ready in the Cottage so we joined them there as the preparations were taking place. Happy and chilled everyone was and we captured some of those moments. When James and Ben were ready just a few pictures were taken of them before they made their way over to the Castle.

Heddingham Castle Wedding

Afterwards, following a few pictures inside we went outside as it had stopped raining. Guests enjoyed the drinks Reception in the Castle and came out if they were required for pictures. James and Ben were able to spend time with their Guests before taking a short time out for pictures of the two of them. The lake looked a picture especially as it was late afternoon. Although it had been raining, therefore wet underfoot, James and Ben were happy to go over to the lake. Good timing, lovely pictures.

Heddingham Castle is not one of the easiest to get sunset pictures due to the trees. This day was great as the sunset showed high into the sky!

Bruisyard Country Estate wedding – Sandie & Jim

Bruisyard Country Estate, was a new Wedding Venue for us, located near Saxmundham, Suffolk. Sandie and Jim have been together for many years and wanted to ‘tie the knot’ at Wedding Venue not too far from them, without too much fuss. They chose the Bruisyard Country Estate to celebrate with their friends and family.

The weather was lovely when we arrived, on the morning of their Wedding, so we had a good look around before anyone was about and took some pictures of the setting.

Preparations were going on in the House so we went off to find them. Sandie and Jim didn’t want getting ready pictures taken so we left them to finish getting ready. It was just as well really as Jim was feeling under the weather.

As the Guests started to arrive, they congregated in the Courtyard at outside the Barn, which was very relaxed and enabled us to get some informal pictures. Jim, his sons, Bob and Sonny, welcomed the Guests. Just before leaving the house, we took a couple of pictures of Sandie with her bridesmaids and flowergirls.

Guests took their seats for the Ceremony, just before Sandie arrived at the Barn in a camper van with her sister.

Exchanged of vows

The ceremony and exchange of vows was followed by their Drinks Reception.

The weather turned!

Unfortunately the weather had turned and it was raining, so socialising took place inside the barn, until we could go outside. We did go outside and take some pictures which was good during the afternoon.

Later it was time for the meal and as the sky was good we were able to go out and take a couple of pictures on the bridge.
The evening party started and we are pleased to say Jim felt much better in time for the dancing.
