Fennes Wedding

It was a lovely to do the Fennes Wedding Photography for Becca & Kieran in May this year.

Preparations were well underway when we arrived at Fennes during the morning of the Wedding. The weather was not playing ball , it was raining but we were hopeful and according to the forecast it would be better later on. Once Kieran and his Groomsmen were ready they had a few pictures taken, as did Becca and the girls later.

Soon it was time for the Ceremony in the Pavilion. Becca and her Dad followed the Bridesmaids into the Pavilion for the Wedding to start. While the Ceremony was taking place the rain stopped. Yes, we could now go outside for the pictures. The afternoon outside allowed Becca, Kieran and their Guests enjoy being in the grounds of Fennes for the Drinks Reception. Becca and Kieran wanted a few family group pictures taken and we took Becca and Kieran for a few pictures of them during the afternoon.

Confetti pictures in the corridor in the house worked well before they sat down for the Wedding Breakfast.

Speeches were before the meal. Cake cutting and First Dance were later in the evening leaving them time to enjoy the grounds of Fennes.

Fennes Wedding Photography for Lynne & Gerry

It was great to be back for Fennes Wedding Photography for Lynne and Gerry. The sun was shining when we arrived at Fennes on the morning of their Wedding.

Lynne and Gerry chose to have a Church Ceremony at the lovely St Mary’s Church, Bocking, Both Lynne and Gerry were getting ready at Fennes before the Ceremony so we were there to capture the goings on. All preparations were running smoothly. This allowed us time to take a few formal pictures as well of Gerry with his Groomsmen and some Bridal portraits of Lynne later on.

Gerry left for the Church immediately after we had taken his pictures and the Horse and Carriage arrived at the front of Fennes. Gerry had no idea this was the mode of transport for Lynne to get to the Church and for their return to Fennes later. Once we had taken Lynne’s pictures, off she went in the Horse and Carriage accompanied by her Mother and Father. We had time at the Church for a few informal pictures before Lynne arrived.

The Ceremony

Walking up the path, Lynne took her Father’s arm and after speaking with the Vicar went into the Church. Gerry’s three daughters delivered some nice readings during the service. Once the formalities of the Ceremony were over, Lynne and Gerry walked down the aisle and out of the Church.

It was a bright, dry day but slightly windy day for the pictures taken at the Church. After a few requested pictures the Guests lined the path towards the gate. Usually, the Guests throw confetti over the happy couple as they leave but today it was not so. The confetti had been left at Fennes, so instead they just cheered and clapped Lynne and Gerry as they exited the Church. A surprise to everyone was the Horse and Carriage!

Fennes Wedding Reception

It was a lovely relaxed afternoon spent at Fennes with the Drinks Reception being held outside and lots of socialising going on.

Occasionally in the afternoon this was interrupted by us taking a few other pictures including pictures of Lynee and Gerry on the bridge.Before the start of the Wedding Breakfast petals were thrown over Lynne and Gerry in the corridor before entering the Pavilion. Speeches were after the meal.

Sunset!

There was a nice sunset so very quickly we were able to take Lynne and Gerry for this. The evening celebrations then began.

Evening Guests arrived and joined in with the other Guests as Lynne and Gerry cut their Wedding cake. They then took to the dance floor for their First Dance. Dancing continued during the evening but it was soon time for us to say our goodbyes. A wonderful day of Fennes Wedding Photography. Congratulations to Lynne and Gerry.

Wedding Photography Fennes – Gemma & Dan

Fennes is one of the most popular and also one of our favourite Wedding Venues. This was where Gemma and Dan chose to have their Wedding. When we arrived at Fennes, it was raining, so unfortunately the planned outside Ceremony looked highly unlikely!  Gemma was getting ready upstairs and preparations were going well.  Meanwhile, Dan was getting ready in the Bridal cottage with his Best Man and Ushers.  For Dan’s pictures the rain had stopped so we went outside for their pictures.  Excitement was building upstairs as the Bridesmaids were getting their dresses on, followed by Gemma getting dressed.  Gemma looked lovely and once ready we took a few classic pictures.Wedding Photography Fennes Recommended After Gemma and Dan had seen the Registrars, with the Wedding Guests seated, it was time for the Ceremony in the Pavilion which looked perfect.  Beautiful singing by Gemma’s Mum, Lynn, and sister, Charlotte, added to the celebration.  Afterwards, Gemma and Dan left the Pavilion and made their way outside with their Guests following them.  During the Drinks Reception we took the requested family pictures as well as some informal shots.  The bridge and Gazebo provided the setting for some of Gemma and Dan’s ‘together’ pictures before the confetti pictures in the Gold Room.Wedding Photographer Fennes We were hedging our bets for more pictures later together with the weather improving. The Wedding Breakfast was then served followed by the Speeches.  The sun was now out so after taking some fun Bridal party pictures, there was time to go and take a walk around the grounds of Fennes, which Gemma and Dan wanted to do.

Later Gemma and Dan took to the dance floor for their First Dance, to be joined by their parents and Guests.  As the sun was going, we couldn’t miss that!Essex Wedding Photographer Fennes heart shotA nice ending to a lovely day!  Thank you to Nicola and all at Fennes as always.

Wedding Photography – Faye & Mitchell – The Fennes Estate, Bocking

It was a dry, bright day when we arrived at Fennes for the Wedding of Faye and Mitch. Preparations were underway and running smoothly, giving us sufficient time to photograph Faye in a relaxed atmosphere.  Following the Civil Ceremony and after the everybody photograph, Faye and Mitch socialised with their Guests during the Drinks Reception.  As it was chilly outside Faye and Mitch requested their family group pictures to be taken in the House.  The beauty of having Fennes is that there is the opportunity to use the different rooms for photographs which adds variety to the pictures. Not to be missed though, was a walk to the Bridge for some portraits of Faye and Mitch later on.  After the Wedding Breakfast we captured some lovely images of Guests whilst the Speeches were taking place.   Just before the First Dance we took a couple of night shots of Faye and Mitch before leaving a little while after the First Dance.Wedding Photo - The Fennes Estate

Wedding 'Thank You'

David and I were delighted to receive a ‘thank you’ from Sandra and Drew, whose Wedding we photographed recently at The Fennes, Bocking:-

“We just wanted to say a big Thank You for the beautiful photos you took of our wedding.  You both made everyone feel at ease and we are absolutely delighted with the results.  The only problem is you have made it very difficut for us to choose the best photos for the Storybook, as there are so many great shots.  Thanks again”.
