Shenfield Church Wedding // Nicola & Richard
Last weekend saw me head over the bridge for a Shenfield church wedding in Essex. As a reportage wedding photographer it’s great to hear people say, “We just want natural looking photos of our friends and family.” Not only was this a wedding celebration but also a farewell party for Nicola and Richard who are off to start their married life together in America. The Church ceremony in Shenfield was an intimate affair with just 29 guests, followed by a wedding breakfast a stones throw away in what was the old rectory, and now home to Nicola’s parents Vivienne and Tony, who were responsible for a large part in the planning of the day. All the hard work of planning a wedding was made a little easier due to the family home being turned into a wedding venue for the day. With Nicola’s mum having a good eye for interior design and the hiring of a marquee and portaloos for the garden, they were better equipped for all the evening revellers than many of the wedding venues that I have worked at. Many of the evening guests came equipped with sleeping bags, so I would guess there was plenty of partying long after my departure.
Here are a few favourites…
