The Wedding of Gemma and Ben, Hintlesham Hall

A few days later we photographed our second December Wedding which was Gemma and Ben's and took place at Hintlesham Hall, Suffolk.

Again, we were fortunate that it was very wintery although a lot of the snow had turned to ice which caused a few slips and slides throughout the day. Still it was lovely to photograph a winter wedding in such wintery weather. This wedding took place only a couple of days before Christmas and again was very magical.

Here's a selection of photos from their day starting with Ben, the Ushers and pageboys before Gemma arrived at the Church

Here's Gemma arriving and coming into the ceremony with her dad. 

The vicar was really kind to us and let David shoot from the back of the church whilst I stood at the front with them.   Here's a mix taken during the ceremony

We managed to take most of the groups outside and a few of just the two of them before it started to rain so we went on to Hintlesham to get everyone in the warm

Here's a selection of the two of them at Hintlesham that I adore starting with one in a new effect

Here's a selection taken during the speeches

and a few of them dancing - the lighting with the glitterball was gorgeous

If you attended Gemma and Ben's Wedding and would like to view their photos they are online now. They have the password which I'm sure they'll share with you!

After seeing their photos Gemma sent me the following e-mail:

'Hi Hayley,


Just to let you know we received the proof book today! We are so pleased with the photos. They capture the day perfectly. We love the ones outside Hintlesham with the Xmas trees. The images are even more lovely in the proof book than when viewing them online and we love the detail images that we had not seen before. Its going to be very hard choosing the images for our album as we love so many of them! Thank you again.


Our family have viewed the photos as well and everyone has complimented on them.


Thank you both for your work on the day.


Kind Regards


Gemma'

Thanks for letting me know Gemma and I'm glad you're pleased with them. I too love the ones outside Hintlesham Hall at dusk with the Christmas trees. We very much enjoyed sharing in your day and wish you both a lifetime of happiness together. I look forward to meeting up with you soon to design your beautiful album

Home Page of Website Updated

Today I have updated the home page of my Website with some new photographs. The main photograph is of Sarina and James whose wedding I photographed at Yaxley Hall a couple of weeks ago. Their wedding was a small and intimate occasion and we very much enjoyed photographing them. They are a gorgeous couple and were a pleasure to work with.
I wish them all the best for a happy life together.

The smaller top photograph was taken at Emily and Phyl's wedding I photographed at Hintlesham Hall in July this year. Again, they were fantastic to work with and easy to photograph.

I must confess I was a little sad to see the old photographs go from the home page now I've started updating the site. I loved the photograph of Dawn and Stuart taken at their wedding in Mendlesham Church last July. They must have had one of the hottest and sunniest days of last year! As you'll see below, the light captured the two of them through the church window perfectly.


Another photograph I was sad to see go was of the children at Anita and John's Wedding photographed last July at Orwell Park School followed by their reception at Belsteed Brook Hotel. The children were well behaved, funny and loved having their photographs taken.



The new photographs for the galleries section showing weddings and portraits photographed in Suffolk, Norfolk, Cambridgeshire and Essex will be updated in the next couple of weeks so please check back to see them (who knows - if I've photographed your wedding or a wedding you've attended it could well be you appearing!)
