Colchester Castle Wedding Photography – Rebecca & Lee

It was a Colchester Castle Wedding for Rebecca and Lee in June last year.

Colchester Castle

Rebecca and Lee wanted a few pictures as arrived at the Castle for the Ceremony, pictures in the Ceremony, followed by some family pictures outside. We were very happy to provide them with this coverage.

Rebecca and Lee had wonderful weather for their Wedding Day. Arriving at the Castle, we took a few pictures before going inside. Their Guests made their way upto the roof top pavilion. Once they were seated, Lee followed after seeing the Registrars. Rebecca was next, being careful as she went, especially in a stunning Wedding dress. It was quite narrow. The room was bathed in sunshine, it was very hot! We took a few pictures during the Ceremony and afterwards.

Then the Guests went down and out of the Castle to get ready for the confetti. On the way from the top of the castle to ground level we took a few pictures on the very atmospheric stairways.

At the time we wanted to use the setting of the pond and gardens,we were fortunate there were not many people about there. Once the family photos were taken we took a few pictures of Rebecca and Lee.

Colchester Castle Wedding Photography for Kim & Mike

Kim and Mike got in touch with us last year to see if we could take their Colchester Castle Wedding Photography. They wanted a short coverage to capture their Wedding Day.

A Walk through the park

On the day of their Wedding Kim and Mike walked up through Colchester Park to Colchester Castle with their children, meeting some of the Wedding Guests on the way. Inside the Castle other Guests had arrived and Kim and Mike had a little time with them before they had to go and see the Registrars. After this as the Guests were seated for the Ceremony, Kim and Mike made their entrance into The Chapel. After the Ceremony, Kim and Mike had time to talk to their Guests before we all went outside. Some requested family pictures were taken around the Castle.

Kim and Mike wanted their Colchester Castle wedding photography to include some of the grounds around Castle Park while the Guests walked up to the Colchester Town Hall for the Reception.

Fun through the High Street

Following taking Kim and Mike’s pictures we walked with them up the High Street to the Town Hall. There were some great reactions from passers by as they made their way there.

Wedding Photography Layer Marney Tower – Lydia & Terry

Layer Marney Tower – Lydia and Terry chose the wonderful Layer Marney Tower for their Wedding.  First of all we started off at The Holiday Inn, Eight Ash Green, Colchester, which is where Lydia and her family were staying. Everything was running smoothly, so we were able to capture a flavour of the day’s preparations and taking pictures of the accessories. After a few pictures of the girls,  a couple of pictures of Lydia, who looked stunning in her Wedding Dress, and a couple with her Parents once they were ready we left them to it and went to Layer Marney Tower. We met with Terry, his Best Man, Ushers and his Parents straight away when we arrived.  After taking a few pictures of them, the double decker Bus had arrived with the Guests so we were able to take a few pictures of them. Terry and his Groomsmen greeted the Guests before Terry was ushered to see the Registrars. Lydia arrived a little later on in the Layer Marney car and as there was a little time spare we were able to take a couple of pictures. The Wedding Ceremony was held in the Corsellis Room and when it was time Lydia made her entrance accompanied by her Father and Bridesmaids. After the Ceremony, Lydia and Terry went for a short ride whilst their Guests enjoyed the Drinks Reception in front of the tower whilst we took some informal pictures.   On Lydia and Terry’s return from their car ride, they walked up the path in the glorious sunshine towards the Tower and their Guests.

Wedding Photography Layer Marney Tower As Lydia and Terry’s Wedding was in the early afternoon there was plenty of time for them to mingle with their Guests and we had more time for taking the pictures in the afternoon. With Lydia and Terry being such a wonderfully relaxed couple, what more could we ask for! The requested family group pictures were taken and a little while afterwards we took the fun bridal party pictures.   Using the area in front of the Tower, such a wonderful setting and with the sun shining, these turned out well! Lydia and Terry wanted a few pictures around the grounds including the Barn. Layer Marney Recommended Wedding PhotographerThey enjoyed doing these as we did too! Just before the Wedding Breakfast the Guests threw confetti over Lydia on the stairs before they all sat down for the meal in the Long Gallery.Layer Marney Tower Recommended Wedding Photographer After the Speeches, the Long Gallery was set up for the evening’s entertainment.

Tara and Tom asked us to be their  Colchester Town Hall Photographer and afterwards at Green Island Gardens, Ardleigh, for their Summer Wedding.  It was a beautiful day when we arrived at Tara’s Parents’ home for Tara’s preparation pictures. Tara was having her hair finished and the Bridesmaids were putting their sarees on Everything was going well. When Mum was ready, she helped Tara put on her Wedding Dress. The garden was the place for a few pictures, giving a lovely backdrop and shade.  With a few portraits of Tara and a the pictures of the Bridesmaids and Family completed it was time for us to leave. Colchester Town Hall was where the Civil Ceremony was taking place. We left extra time for some known road closures and also holiday time traffic! turned out not to be a problem leaving us with sufficient time for Tom’s pictures with his Best Man and Ushers. We also managed a few Guest arrival pictures before they made their way up the stairs to the Moot Hall for the Ceremony.

Colchester Town Hall Photographer Tara arrived, we used the few minutes for a couple of pictures before she saw the Registrars and went upstairs.  With everybody seated Tara entered the impressive Moot Hall. Colchester Wedding Photographer Town Hall ColchesterAfter the formalities of the Ceremony, Tara and Tom went out of the room, paused on the stairs for a couple of pictures before heading downstairs. Tara and Tom then went outside into the brilliant sunshine and chatted a little while with their Guests, whilst the Chaffeur was opening the Champagne. Everybody then waved them off as they left the Town Hall for the Wedding Reception at Green Island Gardens. The Guests arrived, they made their way into the gardens for the Welcome Drinks and being entertained by a String Quartet. Tara and Tom arrived a while later. Whilst the Bridal Party were organising the confetti with the Guests, we took a few pictures of Tom and Tara. After being covered in confetti by their Guests, they then had time to socialise, whilst we took some informal pictures. We managed to  find a nice area in the shade to do the requested family pictures, followed by Tara and Tom’s pictures around the grounds as the time was racing by!  The Garden games proved to be a hit with the Guests during the rest of the afternoon and provided a few good reaction pictures.  Green Island Gardens Wedding PhotographerBeautiful backdrops and light! Evening Guests then started to arrive and after Tara and Tom spent a little time with them it was time for them all to move to the Marquee for the Wedding Breakfast.  It was at this point Tara and Tom went to get changed into traditional Sri Lankan clothing. They looked stunning! We were able to take a few pictures as they had to make their way over to the Marquee. Before the start of the meal the Father of the Bride made his Speech and after the main course, Tom made his Speech.
