We were extremely delighted and priviledged to be asked to photograph Felicity and Jason’s Wedding at Leez Priory, especially as they both work for different Wedding venues and come across many different suppliers. We could not have asked for a better day, mild, dry, with a few sunny spells, making our job easier. Our day started early at Leez Priory, where Fi,her family and Bridesmaids were getting ready, so after a few pictures we left to go to St. Mary’s Church, Bocking, for the Church service. After the Wedding Ceremony, a couple of family photographs were taken outside the Church, before departing to Leez Priory. Guests enjoyed a Drinks Reception, whilst we took Fi and Jay for a short stroll around the superb grounds of Leez Priory for pictures of the two of them. Not to be missed was a couple of lovely pictures just as the sun was setting. Following the Weddding Breakfast, Fi and Jay were joined by their Evening Guests and the evening entertainment took place in the Coach House. As a surprise for everybody Fi had arranged fireworks for later in the evening, which ended a very special day.
It is always a pleasure to receive a ‘Thank You’ and we were overjoyed to receive this from Claire and Tim, who were married at The Fennes Estate in April 2011:-
Dear David and Sandra
We just wanted to say a huge thank you to you both for all your help in producing a stunning wedding album. I am so happy with how it turned out, you have captured our big day perfectly – I could not fault a single thing, (and I am very renowned for being ‘fussy!!)
I will never tire of showing our album off to family and friends and I will treasure it forever.
Throughout the whole process you were very patient with me and made everything very easy, the draft album plan was particularly helpful and clever.
On the day itself you managed to capture so many amazing shots, without Tim and I, or our guests, having to spend very long at all posing for photographs, which was perfect.
Tara and Matt chose The Fennes Estate, for their Wedding. Tara and Matt were both getting ready in the Georgian House for their Civil Ceremony, which was being held outside in the Gazebo. After saying a quick ‘hello’ to Tara, David went to find the men to take some final preparation pictures, whilst I stayed with Tara and her Bridesmaids, capturing their preparations. Tara and Matt really wanted an outside Ceremony and as the Guests arrived and made their way to the Gazebo, fingers were being crossed regarding the weather! Following a few pictures of Matt, then Tara, everything was ready . Tara and her Bridesmaids made a lovely picture exiting the House towards the Gazebo. After the Ceremony, Tara and Matt made their way back to the House when the first drops of rain began to fall! We captured some lovely natural moments of Tara, Matt and their Guests in the Reception rooms whilst waiting for the heavy shower to pass. Fortunately it did, the sun came out, and everyone went outside for a few family photographs. We had a good time doing some fun relaxed pictures as well, before the Wedding Breakfast. The brilliant Irie J sang during the meal and for the First Dance, it was great to catch up with him again.
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”.
It was a lovely warm day as we arrived at The Fennes Estate, Bocking for the Wedding of Sandra and Drew. Whilst David was taking pictures of Drew downstairs in Fennes, I was with Sandra capturing her final preparations. After the Ceremony the happy couple and their Guests were able to enjoy the Drinks Reception whilst the family groups were being organised. We then took Sandra and Drew over to the Bridge at Fennes, which is a feature they wanted to utilise in their pictures. Following the Wedding Breakfast we had a sneak preview of their First Dance routine, which they then performed to the delight and surprise of their Guests.
A beautiful spring day greeted us for the Wedding of Stephanie and Simon at The Fennes Estate, Bocking. Stephanie was bubbly with excitement from the moment we met her when she was getting ready until the end of the day. Family and friends from all over the world were present and enjoyed relaxing in the beautiful surroundings of Fennes. Stephanie and Simon left plenty of time, not only for us to do our creative shots, but for family groups, as well as socialising with their Guests.
