Emily and Steve’s Wedding at Maison Talbooth, Essex, UK
I love hearing about clients’ plans for their wedding day. There is so much scope nowadays with venues, themes, entertainment and so on. I met Emily and Steve for a pre-wedding consultation at Maison Talbooth and was very interested to discover that their wedding would be for just ten people, including themselves.
I attended Emily’s house near Colchester for the bridal preparations.
but not neglecting the grandfather preparations!
It doesn’t matter that you’re the father of the bride, if you’re expecting guests back in the evening, there are chores to be done.
After a short ride in an enormous Rolls Royce, we arrived at the beautiful Maison Talbooth overlooking Dedham Vale. As it was such a small wedding, there was a very relaxed atmosphere, with the guests sitting on armchairs and sofas. Steve’s father provided the entertainment while they waited for Emily to arrive.
Emily was given away by her father and grandfather
I love the expressions on the girls faces here
After the ceremony there was time for group photos and a stroll in the grounds
We then headed off to Le Talbooth restaurant, a short distance away, for lunch.
There is obviously a very special bond between Emily and her grandfather, and I think this photo sums it up.
A lovely day, and I wish them every happiness.
Hayley and Anthony’s wedding, Easton, Suffolk
I came to know Hayley and Anthony quite well by the time their wedding day arrived, having had an initial consultation, a pre-wedding shoot and attended their rehearsal. They had originally hoped to get married at Framlingham Castle, which would have been rather fabulous, but unfortunately Framlingham no longer has a wedding license.
They had the great idea of hiring a cottage in Yoxford for the girls to get ready in.
The ceremony was at Easton Church, near Framlingham with the crinkle crankle wall.
This made a lovely recessional
The forecast rain started to fall just as we left the church
We stopped briefly en route to the reception at Twin Oak Farm at Badington near Framlingham, for a few photos
but on arrival the rain really did start to come down relentlessly.
But all was well inside the marquee with a meal, cocktails, games on the Wii and of course, the dancing
