ESSEX & GAYNES PARK WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Gaynes Park, Essex is a beautiful wedding venue, providing everything from bridal and groom prep locations, through to a lovely light and airy ceremony hall and reception space. Converted Barns with stunning grounds, overlooking the London city and Canary Wharf skylines, with a sweeping country road, leading up to the entrance, all set in a secluded estate means this is one of the more popular Essex wedding venues.  It has been owned and run by the same family for generations.

I knew this was going to be a wedding to remember from the start. When I first spoke to Becky a year ago, I got the impression this would be one of those weddings where it all just, comes together… for couple and photography alike.  Becky and Jack were the perfect couple. Becky was adorned in the most wonderful of wedding dresses from Bellisima weddings in Essex, with the groom and groomsman dressed in moss green suits. With 150 guests and myself and good friend, 2nd photographer Ben Toms… who I shoot for and with on many an occasion, we were all set prepped and ready to go.

I had met Becky and Jack previously, at their engagement shoot and the ideas were in full flow then for how we wanted to capture the day. And I am glad to say, it did not disappoint.

With 6 bridesmaids and 4 groomsmen we had some great opportunities to have fun and showcase the event. Having now shot a couple of times at this luxury venue I think we are getting the hang of it all and can definitely give you a wedding gallery to remember.
