Steph & Dan’s Wedding Photography at Hanbury Manor (Garden Court)

Steph & Dan chose the beautiful and impressive Hanbury Manor for their big day and had both their ceremony and reception in the exclusive Garden Court!

I met with the girls in the main house, who were extremely excited and even more so because the sun was shining and it was a beautiful day! I stayed with Steph while she had her hair and make-up done and dressed for her big day, while Mark went down to the Golf Club to photograph Dan and his attendants relaxing with a beer in and around the grounds.

The ceremony took place in the conservatory, which always makes for beautiful shots with the distinctive chequered floor and doors open to the gardens. The reception then spilled out into the walled gardens and we took some very romantic and beautiful photographs in and around the court.

Some of my favourite shots are above – the daffodils had just come out, which made for a lovely arty shot with the happy couple in the background, and I love the pictures with the pink cherry blossoms framing the shots.

Steph & Dan were great fun on the day and we had lots of laughs together! We wish them a fantastic honeymoon and happy marriage together!

Best wishes,

Rachel & Mark

Katie & Tom – a beautiful February Wedding at Parklands!

Katie & Tom booked us to cover their beautiful February wedding at Parklands, Quendon Park and from the word go, Mark and I thoroughly enjoyed the day!

I spent the morning with the girls covering the bridal preparations, which started with hair and make-up on the third floor and then progressed to the bridal suite to get Katie into her beautiful black and white Wedding dress, which co-ordinated perfectly with her bridesmaids’ black dresses and bright pink Gerbera flowers! One of my favourite shots is the girls well and truly rallying around Katie to get her ready for the ceremony on time – time always flies when you’re having fun!!

Mark spent the morning with the guys (the beauty of having 2 photographers!) and took some great shots in one of the rooms of Tom with his best man and his parents lending a helping hand to get him all suited and booted for his big day!

Another of my favourite shots from the day was the middle one below, which features Tom seeing his bride for the first time – it’s a great shot to have and one which I hope they will love too!

The weather held out and we were able to get outside to take some lovely shots around the Parklands house and a big one of the whole wedding party infront of the fountain, but one of my other favorites is inside the house infront of the Parklands signature red wall with the couple looking so happy! Perfect!

Mark continued coverage until past the first dance and then headed home! A big thanks to Katie, Tom and their family for making us feel so welcome! Congratulations and all the best for a happy future together!

Kirsty & Edward’s Wedding Photography at Parklands, Quendon Park.

Parklands, Quendon Park is one of our favourite wedding venues and for Kirsty and Edward it was the perfect venue for their winter wedding!

We arrived nice and early and met Kirsty, her mum and the girls up on the third floor mid hair, make-up and champagne! I stayed with the girls and took some lovely natural ones of Kirsty, whilst Mark went to the guys and took some pictures of the guys getting ready and a few inside the house.

Kirsty looked beautiful in a long ivory dress and the pictures we took in the bridal suite matched the elegance of the day!

We continued coverage throughout the ceremony and drinks reception and even got a few pictures outside, including this romantic one at the back of the house, before going back indoors in favour of the cozy log fire in the drawing room and taking lots of natural reportage photographs of their guests!

Kirsty and Edward were a lovely couple and we had a lot of laughs when poor Edward referred to Kirsty as a HGV (he meant in the aspect of a wide turning circle in the dress), but we teased him about it for the rest of the day, and I’m sure Kirsty had hours of fun with that one too!

Another lovely Wedding at Parklands and congratulations to Kirsty & Edward!

A truly White Wedding at Manor of Groves – Lorraine & Edwards Wedding

Well, what a week! We’ve had inches of snow and not one, but two white winter weddings at the Manor of Groves!

Last Friday we shot the Wedding of Lorraine & Edward at the lovely Manor of Groves Hotel in Essex. We started the day at home with Lorraine and the girls, then slid our way to St Jame’s Church in Thorley, then onto the Manor of Groves for their reception!

The snow was thick on the ground and I was grateful for my fingerless mittens (until Mark stole one because he said he couldn’t feel his fingers anymore!) but it didn’t hold anyone up and we took some absolutely beautiful shots in the day!

Lorraine looked fantastic in a long white dress and her daughter Chloe looked equally as lovely in her white bridesmaid dress and fluffy jacket. Edward looked dapper in his suit and as a family, they looked amazing! One of my favorite shots is below at the Manor of Groves under the pergola, which I think truly sums up the happiness of their day! I also love the one of Lorraine on her own and a fun confetti photograph taken at the lynch gate.

I think Lorraine would kill me if I’d added the one of her walking up to the church in her Ugg boots, but I think she was highly sensible and it added to the fun of the day! :-)

We also photographed Jessica & Stuarts Wedding today, which was a lot of fun and again filled with snowy pictures, however we’ll post some pictures in the New year as it’s nearly Christmas and I still haven’t wrapped any presents…!

I think this will be our last post before Christmas, so we wish you all a very Merry Christmas and look forward to seeing you in the New Year!

Best wishes!

Tanya & Cameron – Wedding Photography at Ware Priory

Tanya & Cameron tied the knot at the picturesque Ware Priory, Hertfordshire. The guys all looked fantastic in their highland attire and we managed to have some fun with the guys outside before the rain was due to arrive. For once the weather men got it right and the rain did arrive, but it certainly didn’t dampen the fun or laughter of the day! Tanya looked stunning in a elegant dress, which complemented Cameron’s outfit and 4 small bridesmaids, who were very cute!
