The Wedding of Rachel & Nick @ The Assembly House, Norwich

Our next September shoot was Rachel and Nick's wedding which took place at The Assembly House in Norwich. We were lucky with the weather as Rachel was arriving by horse and carriage and my fingers were crossed that they'd arrive in the dry (which they did although it was a little blustery!). Here's a selection from their day where we started with Nick and the men arriving at The Assembly House:

Here's Rachel arriving together with her bridesmaid and mum and dad

Again we were lucky to be allowed to photograph from both the front and the back during the ceremony - I love these photos

As Nick (and most of the guests) hadn't seen the horse and carriage they waited until after the ceremony so that he could come out and sit in the carriage with Rachel and have some photos taken

The confetti floated beautifully - as it was windy outside it was a little chilly so whilst the guests went back inside to keep warm I took the photos of just the two of them outside before we also went in to warm up

When they sat on the edge of the fountain I'd told Rachel to be really careful not to get her dress in - unfortunately I didn't warn Nick at all and he put the tails of his suit in which caused a lot of laughter and a slightly wet bottom!

The line-up had a lot of lovely cuddles involved in it

I love this of their toes when they were sat at the fountain - I also thought that Rachel's slightly peach-toned dress was very unusual and looked beautiful with her skin tone

 

Here's the main room set up for their afternoon tea - we left them at this point

If you attended Rachel and Nick's Wedding and would like to view their photos they are now online and they have the password which I'm sure they'll share.

A couple of days after their wedding (and before they'd even seen their photos) Rachel and Nick kindly sent us the following e-mail:

'Hi Hayley,
Just a quick e-mail to thank you and David, for being such amazing photographers at our wedding. It feels wrong to 'just refer to you as photographers' as you played such a huge, but all the while respectful and discreet part in our wedding.
We have heard from so many of our friends and relatives how you put them at ease with your friendly and positive manner. Also, the events manager at the venue said you had been "the best photographers" they have worked with.
I know it meant so much to people that you called them all by their names, how you manage to remember everyone I don't know!
Thanks again, I can't wait to see our photo's.
Rachel and Nick xxx'

Rachel and Nick were wonderful to work with and are a gorgeous couple who we are sure will have a very happy marriage. I can't wait to give you your finished album soon.

The Wedding of Lucy & Chris @ Preston Priory Barn, Suffolk

Our first September wedding was Lucy and Chris' wedding which took place at Preston Priory Barn just outside of Lavenham, Suffolk. It was a great day and the gardens at Preston Priory are beautiful as you'll see in the photos. This was another wonderful day for us. Here's a selection from their day starting with Lucy getting ready:

David started with Chris and the boys arriving at Preston Priory

Here's Lucy arriving

We were lucky enough to be allowed to photograph both from the back and at the front during the ceremony



The confetti was very spontaneous - usually we would help to organise this but instead everyone just started throwing it which was lovely

Here's some in those beautiful gardens that I mentioned - I really think they look stunning in September with lots in flower and such gorgeous colours.  There are also lots of different parts to the gardens which is great for photos

The speeches were great - here's a few of those

The disco created the most amazing lights for us to photograph

If you attended Lucy and Chris' Wedding and would like to view their photos they are now online and they have the password which I'm sure they'll share. Lucy and Chris kindly sent us the following e-mail after seeing their images:

'Hi Hayley,
We can't believe how quick the time has gone, we returned from honeymoon on Thursday - we needed you there to photograph all the amazing things we done!!! I love our photos we do not know how we will choose our favourites - they are all gorgeous.
Thank you for the amazing photos you have taken
Lucy and Chris.'

Lucy and Chris are a really sweet, lovely couple. Their friends and family were very welcoming to us and it was a pleasure to share in their day. I can't wait to give them their finished album soon. We are sure you'll love it as much as we do and that the two of you are going to have a very long and happy marriage
