Upstairs in the Bridal Room Kate was having fun with her Mum and Bridesmaids.

When Kate was ready we took some pictures of her and the Bridesmaids before she went down the stairs to see the Registrars. An outside Wedding Ceremony was Kate and Adam’s choice and it’s was nice to see their wishes come true. Kate’s Dad was waiting to escort her outside a lovely moment and also another one as Adam waited for his Bride.

Following the Ceremony the Guests followed Jen and Joe to the front of Fennes.

As the weather was ok, dry and a little windy, the Guests went outside whilst Jen and Joe had a few minutes to themselves in the Gold Room. This allowed us time arrange the ‘everybody’ group. Everyone was outside so it was decided to get on and take the requested family pictures.

Guests then enjoyed the Drinks Reception whilst we carried on with other pictures around. A little while later we took Jen and Joe onto Fennes Bridge for some pictures followed by a short walk around the grounds.

The Band was setting up in the Fennes Pavilion for the evening’s entertainment as we were doing this. The Evening Guests arrived and joined in the celebrations. After cutting their Wedding Cake, Jen and Joe took to the dance floor for their First Dance.

Wedding Photography at Fennes for Joan & Mark

The next job was Wedding Photography at Fennes for Joan & Mark. The wonderful Fennes was the venue for this early Autumn Wedding.

Bride’s Prep

We arrived at Fennes and made our way up to the Bridal Room where Joan was getting ready. There was a lot going on! Joan and Mark’s daughters were there with their children. Joan is a very relaxed lady and was just enjoying the merriment and lively atmosphere. Joan had said to us at the pre-wedding meeting, what will be will be! Making sure we took a few pictures of Joan’s Wedding Dress and accessories, we captured lots of informal and fun pictures.

Groom’s Prep

David went off to find Mark, who was with his Best Man, Martin. It was a greyish day outside with rain in the air so David took a couple of pictures of them on the steps outside the House. Mark and Martin then greeted the Wedding Guests who were arriving and socialising in the House. Upstairs, Joan was in the final stages of getting dressed. Joan’s Grandsons were in their suits and looked very handsome! Once Joan was ready, it was nice to take pictures of them altogether.

Ceremony in the Pavilion

Meanwhile, the Guests made their way to the Pavilion for the Ceremony. Joan and Mark’s two dogs were going to be putting in a surprise appearance today! So, when all was quiet in the House, David went into the Red Room to take a couple of pictures of them before their task of the day! Everyone came downstairs, Mark was waiting for Joan at the bottom of the stairs and they saw the Registrars together. After this it was all ready to go, the Pageboys were the first entering the Pavilion full of smiles. Lauren, who was Bridesmaid followed, with the little ones, before Joan and Mark followed.

Special Ring Delivery

When the time came for the exchanging of rings the doors opened and the dogs made their entrance! Would this work! It sure did! The dogs were so excited, but they delivered the rings, had their pictures taken, they were brilliant!

Wedding Photography at Fennes

Once the Ceremony was completed, Joan and Mark danced down the aisle before towards the front of Fennes. Unfortunately it was raining outside so everybody had to stay in. Plenty of space though so no problem! We used the Gold Room later for some requested family pictures, always keeping an eye on the weather. It did break, the children were first out, followed by others. We took this break to take some pictures of Joan and Mark on the Bridge but kept to the hard standing for a variety of pictures. Joan and Mark had lots of time to spend with their Guests during the rest of the afternoon.

Meal Time

Whilst the Guests later were taking their seats for the Wedding Breakfast, Joan and Mark provided us with fun and laughter in the corridor, which of course we captured.Joan and Mark chose to have the Speeches before the serving of the meal. Some great reactions.

The Three Waiters sing at Fennes

As a surprise to their Guests, Joan and Mark had arranged for the Singing Waiters to make an appearance during the Wedding Breakfast. This went down a treat! So much laughter and fun, making great pictures. After the Wedding Breakfast there was time to take a few more pictures of Joan and Mark around Fennes.

Later they cut their Wedding Cake and took to the dance floor for their First Dance. After capturing a flavour of the evening, it was time for us to depart. A lovely Wedding Day of Wedding Photography at Fennes! A great relaxed couple to work with, thank you Joan and Mark.

 
 
 

Fennes Wedding Photographers for Lisa & Nathan

We were the Fennes Wedding Photographers for Lisa and Nathan’s Wedding.

Bridal Preparations

Arriving at Fennes we made our way upstairs to see Lisa. Lots of preparations were taking place so it was full on. We took pictures of Lisa’s Wedding Dress and Accessories in the John Dorwood Suite, as there was more room to move around and it was cooler to work in. It was easy to go between the rooms as and when it was necessary.

The Men

Nathan was getting ready at Fennes so David went off to find him and the Groomsmen. Once they were ready they had some pictures taken outside in the grounds.

Once the finishing touches were applied for the make-up and hair the Bridesmaids got changed into their Bridesmaid Dresses. Lisa went to put on her Wedding Dress, assisted by her Mother. Lisa wanted to surprise her Bridesmaids with the ‘big reveal’. We took a few Bridal Portraits of Lisa before we moved back to the Bridal Changing Room. Some nice ‘moment’ pictures when this happened. After taking a few pictures of them it was time to go! Lisa’s Father was waiting at the bottom of the stairs and as usual this made a lovely picture.

Outdoor Ceremony

Once it was time, the Bridesmaids led the way across the grass to the Gazebo. It was a beautiful day, the Gazebo looked lovely, decorated with many flowers and as they all walked out it was a wonderful picture. After the Ceremony, everyone enjoyed the Drinks Reception.

Family Pictures

Fennes Wedding Photographers

Lisa and Nathan wanted some family pictures which we did after they had time to socialise with their Guests. Fennes bridge, of course, was used for some of their pictures later on, finishing with a few minutes around the grounds. A greeting line was held before Lisa and Nathan entered the Pavilion for the Wedding Breakfast. The Speeches followed and then Lisa and Nathan cut their Wedding Cake.

Evening Fun

It was such a lovely evening, the outside was popular with many Guests. Lisa and Nathan wanted a few more ‘fun’ pictures and it was the right time to do these. Sunset beckoned a little later. Lisa and Nathan had time to mingle with their Guests after this before their First Dance. It was not long after this we said our ‘goodbyes’. The end to another day being Fennes Wedding Photographers.

 
 
 

Fennes Wedding Photography for Dana & Trevor

The next job in the summer last year was Fennes Wedding Photography for Dana & Trevor. A glorious sunny day made Fennes looked beautiful.

The Girls

We arrived at Fennes and went to the Bridal Suite. It was pretty lively as you can imagine with lots of preparations going on. David and I kept ourselves busy with photographing Dana’s Wedding Dress and Accessories, always with an eye open as to the happenings.

The Men

During this time Trevor and his Groomsmen and the Pageboys arrived. Once they had gone to their rooms and settled in David went over to take some pictures of their preparations. It wasn’t long before they were dressed and ready to do some pictures. These didn’t take very long so they were able to meet the Wedding Guests. Relaxed moments captured as Guests sat around at the tables or wandered around the grounds. Upstairs in the House, all preparations were coming together.

The girls were dressed and Dana was almost dressed being helped by Chanelle, her daughter. Barry, Dana’s Brother, who was giving her away, couldn’t resist coming upstairs and seeing Dana. Special moments. The two Pageboys had a sneak preview as well! We got with taking a few pictures of Dana with her Bridesmaids and a few Bridal Portraits before going downstairs.

The Wedding Ceremony

It was to be an outdoor Ceremony so everyone set up in the Gold Room. The Pageboys were the Ring Bearers as well and when the doors opened they were the leaders to the Gazebo for the Ceremony to take place.

When the Ceremony was finished Dana and Trevor walked down the aisle and when they reached the end they had a little dance! Some lovely reactions and pictures! After taking the ‘everybody’ shot we moved to under the trees where it was shaded forthe requested family pictures. Once these were finished everyone socialised during the Drinks Reception with the Harpist entertaining them. We had fun later with the relaxed Bridal party pictures. We took Dana and Trevor for a short walk around Fennes during the afternoon before the confetti pictures.

Dana and Trevor greeted their Guests before the Wedding Breakfast began.

After the meal and Speeches everyone made the most of the evening sunshine by being in the grounds.

The Evening Celebrations

Wedding Photography at Fennes for Maddy & Gordon

We were delighted to be booked for Wedding Photography at Fennes for Maddy & Gordon.

We arrived at Fennes as Maddy was getting ready upstairs in the House and Gordon was getting ready in the Cottage. We went up to see Maddy first and took a few pictures of what was going on. David went off to see Gordon who was almost ready for his pictures with his sons and Best Man.

Not long after this Maddy was ready and it was time for us to take some pictures of her, together with her Maid of Honour, Mandy and the Flowergirls, Grace and Florence. They all then came downstairs. Maddy was greeted by Derek, who was going to give her away.

The Wedding Ceremony

The Guests were seated in the Pavilion for the Ceremony and once the Registrars had entered the Pavilion, Maddy, Derek and the Bridesmaids made their way down there, waiting to be ushered in, once everyone was settled.

After the Ceremony, Maddy and Gordon left the Pavilion and walked up to the front of the House. They then went into the Gold Room for a little time on their own. The Guests made their way up to the front of the house and had their reception drinks in the rooms.

The Rain

Unfortunately, it was heavy rain outside so we all had to stay inside. Not a problem. Fennes is a wonderful Venue as there are always rooms which are available if the weather is not on our side!

Wedding Photography at Fennes

For a few of requested family group pictures we used the steps just outside the door to Fennes. That way everyone kept dry except David!

The Rain Stopped!

During a short break in the weather we were able to take an ‘everybody’ picture and we took Maddy and Gordon to the bridge. Being very wet we were restricted a bit on the pictures we could do but we managed.

Keeping the guests inside was best and no problem at all. During the afternoon we took Lauren and Matt for a stroll around the gardens including going on the Bridge. The Daffodils made a lovely backdrop to Lauren and Matt’s together pictures.
