Last Friday I made the short trip over to Notley Abbey to photograph Jenny and Nick’s beautiful wedding.
I’ve known Jenny and Nick through shooting many of their friends weddings over the years and I couldn’t wait to capture many memories for this lovey couple on their special day.
I met up with Jenny and all nine of her bridesmaids (I know why she couldn’t pick between them, as they are all awesome 🙂 at the bridal suite at Notley. The champagne was already flowing and there was lots of laughter and excitement as they all looked forward to the day ahead.
Jenny looked stunning in her lace dress and there was a big proud smile on her Dad, Alan’s face as he walked in to see her for the first time.
Nick was getting ready just across the garden, in the Abbey’s cottages. He was also looking very dapper and enjoying a whiskey or two with the groomsmen.
The ceremony room looked great with flower petals lining the aisle and two flower pedestals taking pride of place at the front.
It was all smiles and a few tears as Jenny walked down the aisle to join hands with Nick to start the ceremony.
The window light at the front perfectly illuminated the happy couple as they read their vows and exchanged rings to become Mr and Mrs Underhill.
Everyone threw confetti as they walked back down the aisle to start the drinks reception and enjoy some canapés with their guests.
The rain didn’t let off all day but nobody cared, they were having too much fun! We still managed to get some beautiful portraits of Jenny and Nick using the many doorways and sheltered areas around the Abbey.
It was soon time for the wedding breakfast which was a fantastic three course meal and before we knew it it was time for the speeches.
The speeches were amazing! So funny, heartfelt and enjoyed by all the guests. It was a joy to capture everyones reactions and Blair topped them off with so many one liners everyone was in hysterics. So much fun!
With the day now turning to night it was time for the first dance which was sung by the live band and they proceeded to play hit after hit to keep the dance floor rocking. Another highlight of the day among so many great moments.
Jenny and Nick, you guys really are perfect together and I’m so chuffed you asked me to photograph your wedding. I couldn’t wait to share some shots with you so here’s your sneak peek storyboard!
Big thanks also to Jonathan for assisting and 2nd shooting on the day, great job!
