A Gaynes Park Wedding in November

November 5, 2008 on 1:41 am | In Weddings Revealed |

As my wedding season is now almost over I took the opportunity to work alongside my friend Steve, on one of his wedding bookings at Gaynes Park, Coopersale, in Essex. As a wedding photographer in Essex and Hertfordshire, and not having photographed there before, I was very keen to take on the challenge. The wedding was for Elizabeth and Franco and my brief was to capture a more casual side to their wedding.

Gaynes Park is a lovely setting for a wedding and does boast some lovely gardens and grounds. Unfortunately it was a very wet and wintery day and the majority of photographs took place indoors, but this wasn’t too much of a problem as the venue also has some well lit and rustic indoor locations.

The bride was a little bit late arriving to the ceremony and the groom made light of this and it made for a photo opportunity as he sat in the registrars seat.

The groom looked very relieved to see the bride walking down the aisle and everything went to plan.

The children at the wedding were very photogenic and without any prompting they posed for the camera.

There was a very short break in the rain showers so we all rushed outside for one quick group photograph before the heavens opened again and we had to return to take smaller groups inside.

Champagne was served in the Orangery and it certainly was a great location for a social atmosphere.

It was then time for us to make our way to the Gaynes Park Barns (the main banquet hall) where the wedding breakfast was about to be served. The food at Gaynes Park is fantastic and I would definitely recommend it as a good venue. After the meal it was time for some romantic shots and some candid ones too.

Not forgetting the cutting of the cake!

We stayed right through to the first dance. I really enjoyed working alongside Steve and the couple were great fun to photograph.

If you would like me to photograph your wedding then please get in touch. I can offer a dual photographer service at very reasonable upgrade rates. Just one more shot before we finished…
