Fennes Wedding Photographer for Naomi & Paul

Fennes Wedding Photographer for Naomi & Paul

We meet so many nice people being a Fennes Wedding photographer Naomi and Paul being no different!  Our day started with going to see Naomi first at Fennes to see how preparations were going. Everything was going well with Naomi in the final stages of hair and make up.

David went off to find Paul who was getting ready with his Best Man, Clifford. When they were ready they walked over to the House. It was a nice dry day with sunshine so Paul had a few pictures taken with his Best Man and with a few Guests outside.

Upstairs in Fennes House Naomi was getting dressed assisted by her sister. Naomi was soon ready for to have some family pictures and some pictures of her taken. Naomi looked lovely.Fennes Recommended Wedding Photographer

Fennes Wedding Ceremony

Paul and Naomi chose to have their Wedding Ceremony in the Pavilion so the Guests made their way into the Pavilion and took their seats.

Naomi’s Mother and Father had flown over from Japan for their daughter’s Wedding and it was a lovely moment when her Father greeted her at the bottom of the stairs.

Ready for the Ceremony, Naomi took her Father’s arm and made her way into the Pavilion.Wedding Photographer Fennes After the Ceremony inside and outside of Fennes was used for the Drinks Reception and this made for some nice informal pictures.Paul and Naomi wanted some family pictures as well which we took during the afternoon. A walk around the grounds for their pictures ended with some nice pictures of the two of them.Fennes Wedding Photographer photos After the confetti shots it was time for the Wedding Breakfast. The Speeches followed.

Evening Celebrations

Before the evening celebrations we took the ‘heart’ shot and a couple of other pictures in Fennes. Naomi and Paul returned to their Guests.

Never quite knowing if there would be a sunset this evening we hoped we would get some colour in the sky! We were lucky but had to be extremely quick! It did work and we were all very pleased!

Mulberry House Wedding Photography for Lauren & Bodj (aka Jordan)

David and I were really looking forward to the Mulberry House Wedding Photography for  Lauren & Bodj’s Wedding. We have known Bodj for many years as he is a very good friend of our son’s. We have known Lauren for a while as well!

We arrived at  Mulberry House as it started raining. The weather forecast for the day was not brilliant but as usual we had our plans ready! Mulberry House Wedding PhotographerLauren was getting ready in the House with all the girls, so off we went off to see them. They were all relaxed, enjoying the preparations. We captured the details, preparations, fun and laughter.

We photographed Lauren’s Wedding Dress and shoes in the bedroom next door as  there was more space. We knew that we would be using this room at other times also!

The Groomsmen

David was waiting for Bodj and his Groomsmen to arrive and when they were ready took their pictures. It was raining but not hard enough to stop David from being outside. The men stayed in the porch and on the steps, just in the dry! Pictures finished, Bodj and his Groomsmen went inside greet the Guests.

The girls were now ready for their pictures so we got on with those and had time to take some lovely Bridal portraits of the beautiful Lauren!Wedding Photographer Mulberry House Ongar

The Wedding Ceremony

Once the Wedding Guests made their way over to the Ceremony Room and took their seats, Lauren came downstairs where her Dad was waiting. A proud Father moment!

Justin and Nathan the Ushers escorted the Bridesmaids over to the Ceremony room holding umbrellas! Heather the Co-ordinator helped Lauren walk the short distance to the room making sure she didn’t get wet.

Lauren was escorted up the aisle by her Mum and Dad. Some lovely moments during the Ceremony, great to capture. Mulberry House wedding ceremonyFollowing the Ceremony, everyone went back over to Mulberry House. We took some nice pictures as they came out, umbrellas as well! wet weather wedding photographs Mulberry House The Reception Drinks were in the Conservatory so everyone socialised there. After a little while we started taking the requested family pictures. With a bit of temporary furniture removal we had enough space. We even managed to do a couple of big group pictures.  Mulberry House indoor group photosUnfortunately outside pictures were totally out of the question today but we found many places inside Mulberry House to take Lauren and Bodj’s ‘together’ pictures.Mulberry House wet wedding photography Before the Wedding Breakfast it was time for the Speeches.

Good Speeches and great reactions.  After the meal there was a short time for us to take Lauren and Bodj for a few extra pictures. Although the rain had not completely stopped but we all went outside anyway.  It was worth it, making Lauren & Bodj some lovely pictures.Mulberry House Wedding Photography

The Evening Reception

Before the cake cutting Lauren & Bodj had time with the evening Guests.

The happy couple then took to the dance floor for their First Dance. Everyone else joined them  shortly afterwards. Sometime later after we had captured a flavour of the evening, taken a night shot it was time to go. Mulberry House evening wedding photos Lauren and Bodj’s Wedding Day was wonderful! A fantastic couple, easy going and a real pleasure to work with. Thank you so much Lauren and Bodj! Congratulations!

Wedding Photography Town Hall Braintree for Jenny & Sam

Jenny & Sam booked us for their Wedding Photography Town Hall Braintree.

When we arrived at the Town Hall we met with Sam  who had just arrived with his Best Man, Alex. We made the most of the peaceful time taking a few pictures of them.

Sam was a bit worried as the Guests were not arriving as early as he expected! As is often the case they had arrived but as  they waited outside for more of them to arrive and then make their entrance! Sam then mingled in the Foyer for a little while.

It wasn’t long before Jenny arrived out at the back of the Town Hall escorted by her Dad.Braintree Town Hall Wedding Photographer They were showed into a room out of sight of everyone else. Jenny and her Mother and Father were joined by the Bridesmaids, and Pageboys. This gave us the opportunity of taking a few pictures before the Ceremony.

The Guests took their seats and Jenny, her Mum, Dad and Bridesmaids went upstairs into the connecting room. Jenny and her Dad followed the Bridesmaids and Pageboys into the ceremony room.

Afterwards everyone socialised in the rooms enjoying the Drinks Reception as well. Braintree Town Hall is a wonderful building and we certainly made use of everywhere we were allowed to go for pictures.Braintree Wedding Photographer Jenny and Sam wanted a few family group pictures and some other photos and we were happy to do those.

Reception at Jardins

At Jardins, more Guests arrived, so we went around and took some informal pictures.  After a little while everyone helped themselves to the Buffet and then Jenny and Sam cut their Wedding Cake.

To start the dancing for the evening Jenny and Sam took to the dance floor for their First Dance. We stayed for a while until we were happy with our pictures.

Tara and Jordan’s Layer Marney Tower Wedding Photography included a visit to St Mary’s Church, Layer Marney.

Our first port of call on the morning of the Wedding was at Tara and Jordan’s house.   Tara, her Mother and Bridesmaids were getting ready. When we arrived hair and and make up was going on so after capturing a few shots of this happening we went upstairs to photograph Tara’s dress, shoes etc.

Tara and Jordan’s ceremony was to be in the lovely St Mary the Virgin Church in Layer Marney. Jordan and his Groomsmen were carrying out their duties when we arrived so in between we took their pictures.

Witham Pre-Wedding Photos for Lauren and Bodj  – One evening in the summer last year Lauren and Bodj came to see us again. This time it was for their Pre-Wedding photos and a chat about their forthcoming Wedding at Mulberry House, Ongar.

Whilst talking about their Wedding the sunset was getting better and better.  We really wanted to work with the soft evening light.

With all the details completed we jumped in the car to go five minutes up the road where the sunset was best.

A good result! Great to catch up with Lauren and Bodj. They made a  lovely set of  happy relaxed photographs!

Upstairs in the Bridal Dressing Room, Rachel was having her make-up done whilst the girls got changed into their dresses.

Time was running very short but we managed a couple of minutes for pictures.
