Leez Priory Wedding Photography – Anna & Leon

Leez Priory Wedding Photography for Anna and Leon turned out to be our last wedding before Lockdown!

Anna and Leon chose the stunning Wedding Venue, Leez Priory for their early spring Wedding this year.

A Lovely Spring Day

It was a lovely day, dry and bright. Arriving at Leez Priory we went to see Anna who was upstairs with her Mother and Bridesmaids. Hair and make-up were being carried out so we got on with taking a few pictures of this and of Anna’s Wedding Dress and accessories.

The Groom’s Party

Leon and his Groomsmen arrived shortly after us and went off to finish their preparations. Once they were ready they had a few pictures taken outside. The Pageboys including Anna and Leon’s son, Theo, looked great in their suits.

Once the Bridesmaids were ready they assisted Anna with her dress.

The Wedding Guests arrived they socialised in the bar area before moving upstairs to the Great Hall when it was time for the Wedding Ceremony.

There was time to take a variety of pictures before it was time to go downstairs for Anna to meet with the Registrars. Anna then made her way with her Mother, Flowergirl and Bridesmaids to the Great Hall. Before entering the room, Anna took her Mum’s arm and then they walked in.

Wedding in The Great Hall

Theo was wondering what was going on at this point and so he joined Anna and Leon for the whole of the Ceremony, not wanting to leave their side. After Anna and Leon exchanged their vows, they moved to the table to sign the Register. Theo did not want to be left out so he joined them. Once the formalities were completed the three of them walked down the aisle and made their way outside.

Making the most of the weather we got on straight away with a few requested pictures. These pictures went really well, we had everybody there that we needed. We finished off with the bridal party pictures before everyone went inside. We knew we would have some time later on to take Anna and Leon for a short walk around the grounds for their pictures.

Anna and Leon and everyone else then enjoyed the Drinks Reception. The children during the Drinks Reception had a treat in store. Marko the Magician gave a entertaining magic show for all the children. This event went down very well with the children and actually the adults as well! Some lovely captured pictures, not forgetting the adults enjoying the Drinks Reception as well.

Time for Relaxed Portraits

We took Anna and Leona for a short walk around Leez Priory which is always a must. Some nice pictures by the lake and daffodils. Afterwards before moving up to the Coach House for the Wedding Breakfast everyone showered Anna and Leon with petals.

The meal was served, then it was time for the Speeches. Anna contributed and Anna and Leon revealed the gender of their next child to be born. This answered the questions asked during the day! Afterwards everyone left the Coach House and returned to the main house. A mixture of pictures were taken during the late afternoon and early evening before the Evening Guests arrived, including a picture of Anna and Leon by the Tower.

The Band was set up in the Carriageway and started playing. The Guests watched and Leon joined in on his guitar. Anna and Leon cut their Wedding Cake a little time later and then the DJ called them into the room for their First Dance.

Our coverage of Anna and Leon’s Wedding then ended. A wonderful day! Lovely to catch up with Sarah, Anna’s sister and family again. Thank you Anna and Leon to ask us to do your Leez Priory Wedding Photography for your special day. Congratulations!

 
 
 

Wedding Photography at Leez Priory for Lucy & Adam

It was a beautiful late Autumn Wedding Day for the Wedding Photography at Leez Priory of Lucy and Adam. Our day started at Lucy’s Parents’ home as that was where Lucy was getting ready. We took a few preparation pictures but as space was a little limited we decided to leave the arranged pictures until later.

St Martins, Little Waltham

The ceremony was at St Martins Church, Little Waltham and what a beautiful setting it was in. The sun was shining, the leaves from the trees had fallen and added to the wonderful colour. Adam was at the Church with his Groomsmen carrying out their duties when we arrived. A short interruption was all that was needed to create their pictures. They then resumed their duties greeting the Guests.

Wedding Photography for Jennifer & Richard – Leez Priory, Chelmsford

Jenny and Richard chose the beautiful Leez Priory for their Wedding on a pleasant Winter’s day.  Jenny, her Bridesmaids, and Parents were getting ready in the main house, where we took their pictures, before getting a few photographs of Richard and his Attendants in the grounds of Leez Priory.  The Civil Ceremony was held in the Great Hall and this was followed by a Drinks reception downstairs.  After everyone had socialised for a little while we all went outside for a few requested photographs.  The expressions of the Bridal Party during the informal fun pictures will be etched in all our memories, due to David not looking where he was going and tripping over – but like a true professional he got the shot! Not to be missed was the late afternoon sun and for a few minutes we took Jenny and Richard for a short walk around the Grounds of Leez Priory.  The Wedding Breakfast and Speeches followed before the Evening Guests arrived. Our day finished after Jenny and Richard’s First Dance and a couple of pictures by the illuminated Tower and in front of Leez Priory.
