Wedding Photography at Layer Marney Tower for Sarah & Les

Wedding Photography at Layer Marney Tower for Sarah and Les took place on a lovely summer’s day last year.

Sarah and Les decided to hold their Wedding Ceremony at the lovely Layer Marney Tower. They wanted a short photography coverage just enough to capture the Ceremony and then an hour or so afterwards.

We met Les first at Layer Marney Tower before the Guests arrived. After capturing a couple of pictures of him we took a few informal pictures of the Guests. Sarah arrived shortly afterwards. The Ceremony took place in The Corsellis Room.

Afterwards Sarah and Les with their family and friends enjoyed socialising in the grounds of Layer Marney. Sarah and Les requested a few family pictures which we did. A short walk around Layer Marney followed with Sarah, Les and ourselves.

Lovely to be back earlier in the Spring at one of our favourite WeddingVenues, Layer Marney Tower. With it’s new Barn up and running, what a nice addition to this beautiful Venue.

Lots going on for the Wedding of Andrea and Terry on a beautiful Spring day this year. Starting at their home, then a visit to the local pub where the Layer Marney Bus was waiting to take Terry and some guests off to Layer Marney.

Layer Marney Tower looked glorious as Andrea and Terry’s Guests arrived. Once Andrea arrived the Wedding Ceremony started.

Afterwards everybody enjoyed the drinks and canapes in the gardens.

Spencer Wood of kept Guests entertained throughout afternoon. Nice seeing you again Spencer! We enjoyed taking great informal pictures whilst waiting for Andrea and Terry to return from their car ride.

Layer Marney Tower Wedding Photography Including The Dog!

Katie and Colm chose the lovely Layer Marney Tower for their late Summer Wedding.

First of all we met them at the Marks Tey Hotel where they were both getting ready. Preparations for Katie and Colm were going very well and we just got on with capturing the moments.

Katie and Colm’s requirements for the day were to be relaxed and to make sure their dog, Daisy, played a special part in their big day! After all, she had come from Ireland to be with them! ‘Dog of Honour’. Daisy was involved from the very start!Recommended Wedding Photographer Layer Marney Tower

Wedding Ceremony at Layer Marney Tower

Once Colm was ready, the men went off to Layer Marney with Daisy. Once Katie was ready we only took a couple of shots  and departed for the ceremony.

It was  touch windy but still a beautiful day. Layer Marney Tower looked a picture!

Before Colm and his Groomsmen became too involved with greeting the Guests, we took a few pictures of him, not forgetting some with Daisy.

Katie and Daisy led the way into the Corsellis Room for the Civil Ceremony. Whilst Katie and Colm were exchanging their vows, Daisy just laid on the floor and watched!

Following the Ceremony, Katie and Colm went for a ride in the Layer Marney Rolls Royce.  Graham the Chauffeur dropped them by the gates and they walked up to the Tower to be greeted by their guests. Wedding Photographer Layer Marney TowerThe Drinks Reception was in full swing and we captured the requested family pictures, including Daisy of course!  Katie and Colm had a short wedding portrait session around the grounds of Layer Marney including some nice Barn pictures.

Layer Marney Tower Wedding Photography for Lucy & Joe

Layer Marney Tower Wedding Photography for Lucy and Joe was on a beautiful Spring Day. Our day started at Crowne Plaza Resort Five Lakes.Lucy and Joe were both getting ready. After saying ‘hello’ and a few words with Lucy and the girls, David went off to see Joe. I stayed with the Lucy and the girls and captured the action as it happened as well as taking pictures of the details and accessories. There was a lot going on but all was calm and collected. Joe had a couple of pictures taken before he and his Groomsmen left to go  to St. Peters Church, Great Totham.Recommended Wedding Photographer Layer Marney Whilst this was happening  Lucy and the girls were on the balcony in the room with their glasses of champagne having their picture taken before getting dressed. It was important for  Lucy to see her Father’s reaction when she was dressed and the time as always was going very fast. With the help of her Mum and Bridesmaids this was achieved quickly and we had a little time for a few other pictures before we had to leave. St Peter’s Church, Great Totham was where the marriage was taking place and once we arrived we took some Guest arrival pictures, as well as a few of Joe and his Groomsmen.St Peter's Church Great Totham Wedding PhotographerWaiting at the Church were the Flowergirl Estelle-Rose and Ben,the Pageboy, who were eager to see Lucy arrive at the Church gate.  After getting a glimpse of her they rushed back to the Church Door to surprise her. The String Quartet played as Lucy then took her Father’s arm and went into the Church.St Peter's Church Great Totham Wedding Photographer Outside the Church after the service Lucy and Joe just wanted a few pictures taken  as they wanted to get back to Layer Marney. The Guests climbed aboard the Layer Marney Bus as Lucy and Joe were driven to Layer Marney Tower.  The Drinks Reception was held outside in front of the Tower so the Guests took a drink and when Lucy and Joe arrived at the bottom gate they made their way down there.  Lucy and Joe wanted to walk upto the Tower  with the Guests blowing bubbles over them and this is what happened.Some nice pictures.Layer Marney Tower Wedding Photography Lucy and Joe had time to spend with their Guests during the afternoon as well as us taking the requested family group pictures. During the afternoon Alan Nunn, the Magician and Arioso String Quartet provided the entertainment.  Later whilst we took Lucy and Joe for a walk around the grounds of Layer Marney the children plus their Mums and Dads went into the Barn to see the lambs.  If wanted they could give the lambs their milk which some did. When we returned the Guests made their way into the Long Gallery for the Wedding Breakfast.  Lucy and Joe were announced in and they took their seats at the top table ready for the meal to be served. The Speeches followed and once this were finished we made a dash outside for the sunset.  Phew! We just made it in time for some nice pictures. Recommended Wedding Photographer Layer MarneyWe finished with some evening pictures in front of the Tower before going inside.  The Band was ready so Lucy and Joe took to the dance floor for their First Dance. After taking a few informal group pictures of the evening it was time for us to say our ‘goodbyes’. A long day but a most rewarding day and a nice Wedding. It was nice to see Julia of W. Flowers and to meet Michelle of Bumblebee bridal (little did we know at the time we would be seeing and working with each other on several Weddings this year!)

Layer Marney Wedding Photographer for Dana & Jim

Layer Marney Wedding Photographer for Dana & Jim

Layer Marney was the chosen Wedding Venue for Dana and Jim’s Wedding last year. Dana was getting ready at Crowne Plaza, Colchester and that’s where we started our day.  Lots of preparations were going on in the rooms where they were getting ready but everybody was enjoying themselves and everything was going smoothly. We took some pictures of the girls as they were getting ready. Finishing touches applied Dana and the rest of the girls got ready, Dana being helped by her Mother. Time was on our side so we had time to take a few pictures of them all once they were ready. These completed we then travelled to Layer Marney Tower. Layer Marney Wedding Photographer Jim was there with his Groomsmen so before too many of the Guests arrived we took a few pictures of them in front of the Tower. As the Guests arrived on the Layer Marney Bus  we had time to take a few arrival shots. Jim, his Groomsmen and the Guests made their way upto the Corsellis Room to take their seats for the Civil Ceremony.  Meanwhile Dana arrived in the Layer Marney Rolls Royce and after a couple of pictures met with the Registrars. The Civil Ceremony followed and once this finished Dana and Jim were given Champagne and taken for a ride in the car. It was a lovely day so the Drinks Reception was held outside and Guests enjoyed this in the grounds of Layer Marney. Arriving at the gates we took a few pictures of Dana and Jim before they walked up the path to the Tower. Their Guests walked towards the steps to see  and greet them as they reached the top. Dana and Jim spent a little while socialising with their Guests before we took the requested group pictures. These went well and gave the opportunity to Dana and Jim to mingle a bit more. During the afternoon we took a mixture of fun Bridal Party pictures and informal pictures. Layer Marney Wedding PhotographerMolly and Evie, the younger Bridesmaids had fun around the grounds and we were on hand to capture the pictures. For Dana and Jim’s together pictures we went to the Lake and Barn. We ended up with a great selection of pictures, well done Dana and Jim! Wedding Photographer Layer Marney TowerJust before the Wedding Breakfast Dana and Jim were covered with confetti and they then proceeded into the Long Gallery for the Wedding Breakfast. The Speeches were before the meal and there was a tear in everybody’s eyes when Molly’s Speech was read. Molly had written some beautiful words but didn’t want to read them out loud to a room full of people, so the Best Man did the honours. Well done Molly! The meal was served and afterwards there was a little time for everyone to relax outside as the Band set up for the evening celebrations. A sunset was on the cards and Dana and Jim wanted to do a few other pictures as well. Dana and Jim cut their Wedding Cake before their First Dance.Layer Marney Recommended Wedding Photographer After the Tower night shot we left Dana and Jim to continue dancing to the superb Band Three Mile Hill. Thank you Dana and Jim for the ‘extra’ you put into your pictures on your Wedding Day.
