Wedding Photography at Channels for Kimberley & Ben

Kimberley and Ben asked us to carry out their Wedding Photography at Channels for their November Wedding .

Channels wedding venue

Arriving at Channels we went to see Kimberley, her Mum, Bridesmaids and Flowergirls who were getting ready at Channels. They started their preparations in one of the rooms before transferring to a couple of other rooms across in Channels Lodge.

The Preparations

Bride preparing at Channels

This was a good idea as there was definitely more space to get ready. Kimberley got ready in one room after we had photographed her Wedding Dress and Accessories. Meanwhile Ben was in the Essex Barn with his Best Man, Ushers, and his nephew, Ronnie, who was the Pageboy! Ronnie was dressed as a ‘Mini Ben”! He looked so smart! It was dry outside so all the guy’s pictures were taken outside the Barn. After that they all talked to the Guests as they were arriving.

Kimberley’s Mum, Debbie, helped Kimberley get ready. Once Kimberley was dressed the Bridesmaids joined her. Dad, Colin, came into the room a few minutes later. Very emotional moments especially as David and I know the family as well. After drying our eyes we got on with taking some Bridal pictures of Kimberley and some family pictures. We then went downstairs and waited for Kimberley. As a surprise a car was going to take her around to the Barn. This was extremely good as the weather had turned and the rain had started. Fortunately after seeing the Registrar, the rain had stopped and Kimberley made her way across the Courtyard and into the Barn.

Channels Wedding Photographs

Following the Ceremony as the weather was ok we all went outside for a few pictures. After the everybody picture, Kimberley and Ben were showered in confetti before we got on with a few requested family pictures.

Winter wedding group pictures

The group pictures were mostly finished before the rain began to fall and then it became windy. During the Drinks Reception we found an area for the remaining pictures to be taken. Watching the weather there was a gap so we quickly took Kimberley and Ben for their pictures outside. We did take the umbrellas though! That was a good idea, before long the rain started again but we took some lovely pictures with the umbrellas and without!

We captured some informal pictures during the afternoon as well. Kimberley and Ben opted for wedding photography coverage up until the Wedding Breakfast. After a cake picture and pictures of them seated at the Wedding Breakfast we said our goodbyes having completed another day of wedding Photography at Channels. Kimberley and Ben, you are a lovely couple. We wish you all the best.

 
 
 

Wedding Photographer Channels for Nicola & Nick

Wedding Photographer Channels for Nicola & Nick

Our next assignment was Wedding Photographer Channels for Nicola and Nick. We began our coverage of their Wedding joining Nicola at Channels where she was getting ready. The preparations went well considering the number of bodies in a fairly small space on a very hot day!

Nick and his Groomsmen were  waiting until the last moment when they had to put on their jackets for their pictures! After taking some pictures of Nick, his Groomsmen and Parents the Bridesmaids got changed whilst Nicola was having the final touches applied to her hair and make-up. They then helped Nicola get into her Wedding Dress.Channels Wedding Photographer

The Wedding Ceremony

After a few pictures  it was time for the Ceremony. Nicola and her attendants made their way outside where Nick and the guests were waiting

After the Ceremony and with their glasses of bubbly Nicola and Nick led their Guests to the area in the grounds for the Drinks Reception.

Unplanned, a Receiving Line occurred! Actually, this turned out ok as the Guests were served with Reception Drinks and could escape into the shade! Whilst this was going on we took some informal pictures.Channels Wedding Photographer A short time later we got on with the requested family pictures. Later on the afternoon we took the Nicola, Nick and the Bridal Party for a few pictures around the front of Channels.  Once these were completed the Bridal Party returned to the Drinks Reception whilst we took Nicola and Nick’s pictures. The trees provided the shade which was very welcome! Wedding Photographer Channels

The Confetti and Wedding Breakfast

Nicola and Nick were showered in confetti just before the wedding Breakfast.

The Speeches followed the meal. Not to be missed was taking some pictures in the evening light so we then took Nicola and Nick to the lake for a walk around for a few minutes. As their Evening Guests had arrived it was time for the cake cutting which was then followed by the dancing.  First of all Nicola and Nick had the chair dance the Hora, around the dance floor before they then had their First Dance.

It was nice to work with  A most rewarding day of Channels Wedding Photography. It was nice to see and work with Michelle of Bumblebee Bridal again and will see her again very soon.

Pre-Wedding Pictures Hylands Park for Nicola and Nick

We met Nicola and Nick one morning a couple of months ago at Hylands Park, Chelmsford. First of all we went for a walk around the grounds taking a few pictures of them. Happy with the results we then went for a coffee and a chat to the teashop to discuss the details of their Wedding Day. This discussion works really well giving us a good idea of what is planned for the wedding day. Nicola and Nick are getting married this summer at Channels.

Wedding Photography for Cherilyn & Antony – St Bartholomews Church, Wickham Bishops & Channels

We were delighted to be asked to photograph Cherilyn and Antony’s Wedding.  We arrived at Channels Cottage where Cherilyn, her family and Bridesmaids were getting ready.  It was our first visit to Channels Cottage and we were impressed.  After photographing details and the girls getting ready we took a few more portraits in the lounge before leaving to go to St Bartholomew Church, Wickham Bishops.  Antony and his Groomsmen were greeting Guests but in between times we took a few pictures of them before they went into Church. Cherilyn arrived shortly afterwards and the church service began.  Cherilyn and Antony had arranged for the use of the Church Hall for their Guests after the ceremony, so they could enjoy mulled wine whilst we created some photographs for Cherilyn and Antony in the church as it was raining outside.  We took a variety of pictures around the church of Cherilyn and Antony, with the atmosphere of the Christmas season.wedding-photographer-essex-st-bartholomews church-wickham-bishops Luckily as we left the Church after the family groups, the rain had stopped, just right for confetti!  Fortunately, it wasn’t raining either when we arrived at Channels, so with a change of footwear for Cherilyn, pictures outside it was!  We managed a few nice picturs under the barn before walking back past the lake to greet their Guests in the Essex Barn.wedding-photographer-essex-channelsFollowing an everybody picture outside the Wedding Breakfast commenced.  After the Speeches it was nice to get a few shots of Cherilyn and Antony in the main Barn before the start of their evening celebrations.  Later and after the First Dance we finished our coverage of Chereilyn and Antony’s Wedding with a couple of night shots.  A extra special ‘thank you’ goes to Cherilyn and Antony for being such a relaxed couple, smiling continously, and we loved the quote ‘ so pleased to go outside’.wedding-photographer-essex-channels
