The Wedding of Tessa & Orlando photographed @ Spains Hall, Finchingfield

The following week we were back at Spains Hall to photograph Tessa and Orlando's wedding. As any avid readers of this blog will know Spains Hall is one of our favourite venues to work and it's easy to see why.

We had glorious weather which was great for guests being able to play the garden games and stay outside. As always, the staff were brilliant and it was great to see you all again. Tessa and Orlando had chosen a colour scheme of lilac which fitted in perfectly with the Wisteria that was in full bloom and looks just amazing in their images.

Here's a range of photos taken from their day:

This one is of Tessa and her dad just before they came into the ceremony

These were taken during the service and again we were lucky the registrars let us shoot (without flash) at both the front and back of the room

After the ceremony they were showered by confetti as they led their guests through to the gardens

Here's some of those garden games being played

and a shot of the beautiful Wisteria that I mentioned earlier which frames them well ......

....... even the Irises matched in with the purpley theme

Spains Hall have let the grass grown really nicely in the area surrounding the gardens and it was great to get to do some photos here

Here's just a couple of photos from the speeches

They had a lovely cake but I couldn't get over how wonderful the little bride and groom toppers were which were modelled on the bride and groom!


If you attended Tessa and Orlando's Wedding and would like to view their wedding photos they are online now. They have the password which I'm sure they'll give to you.

A couple of days ago I received a beautiful thank you card from them which read as follows:

'Dear Hayley,

We wanted to say a big thank you to you and David for the amazing job that you did photographing our wedding. You were so wonderful to work with on the day - a very calming and cheerful presence and you managed to take so many photos without us even noticing. Now that we've seen the photos we're even more delighted - you've taken so many lovely shots and have really captured people's personalities as well.

The photos are a fabulous reminder of a wonderful day for us and now we're looking forward to designing the album with you.

Thank you once again for everything

Very best wishes

Tessa and Orlando'

Thanks so much for letting us know what you thought of the images. We really appreciate you taking the time out to write to us and are looking forward to your album design meeting soon. We had a fantastic time with the two of you and your families and wish you a lifetime of happiness together.
