It was only 8am when I hit the Norfolk border and even at this early hour I could feel the warmth of the sun beating down. It was a beautiful summers mornings and I couldn’t wait to begin photographing Jade and Jamie’s wedding at Manor Mews. I had a good look around the area beforehand and found some lovely potential sites for the evening photography that I hoped to do.
On arrival Jade and her four bridesmaids where all getting pampered, even half way through hair and make up Jade looked amazing; she was going to make a stunning bride. Jamie was also on site as Manor mews has plenty of accommodation. Jamie and the groomsmen were supposed to be getting ready but I found them with their feet up and a beer in hand, so I left them to it and said I’d come back a bit later.
I started photographing all the fine details around the venue, they hadn’t missed a trick, and everywhere I looked there was a touch of something personal, so much effort must have gone into their preparations, Manor Mews looked wonderful.
Just before Jade started to slip into her dress I went back to check on the boys and this time their suits were on. I took the groomsmen off for some pictures, which went down well.
As expected Jade looked beautiful in her dress, after some emotional moments with her Father and Grandad it was time to make our way to church.
The guests were just finishing their pre-ceremony drinks in the courtyard, then they all embarked upon the short walk to church. Jade arrived along the bumpy track in style in her family’s 4×4.
The conditions where great; quaint little church, blue sky, open Norfolk fields and a light wisp of wind. The emotions took hold as she progressed to church and I could see them building up inside her. I was allowed at the front of the church behind the vicar, which meant I captured all the wonderful interactions and facial expressions between them both. It was such a heart-warming and moving service.
After the service they had set up a mini bar on the church grounds for a quick refreshment before we headed to the barn. I enjoyed photographing the wedding party walking back down to the barn from the church, lots of smiles and excitement. Having all the venues in such buy antibiotics legally online close proximity is a real advantage and it maximises capture time for the bride and groom.
This wedding had such a feel good vibe about it, there was never a dull moment. Jade and Jamie had ensured everyone was kept entertained throughout. I don’t think I’d put my camera down since I arrived, but that’s the way I like it. After the group photos and a brief spell of alone time back in the open fields it was time to head in for the wedding breakfast and speeches.
All the speeches were great but the best-man went the extra mile and created a video presentation of some close family members and friends who couldn’t make the wedding day, it was a lovely touch.
It was now time to put my earlier plans in action. We drove off to an area with newly harvested fields with hay bales. The light was gorgeous and we spent around 20 minutes capturing some beautiful relaxed images of them both.
I really enjoy getting these beautiful shots, buts it’s also really nice to allow the couple to take some time together away from the wedding together.
We headed back to Manor mews for the first dance and plenty more fun and games. I also organized sparklers around the fire pit which went down well and just as I was about to leave I spotted a swollen yellow moon rising up, I rushed to grab them both for one last picture, a low full moon is a rare treat.
This was one of those weddings where I could have stayed all night, if it wasn’t for a wedding the next day I’m sure I might have.

It was nice local wedding in Rutland for Charlotte & Josh’s big day. Normanton church for the ceremony and Rutland reputable antibiotics online water Golf course for the reception.
I met Charlotte mid-morning at Rutland golf course; herself and two bridesmaids were busy preparing for the big day ahead. All was very calm and the preparations were running smoothly.
I went about my business capturing all the finer details that I like to photograph: the wedding dress, shoes, flowers and jewellery. As more family members arrived the excitement begun to build and it seemed it suddenly dawned on everyone that Charlotte was getting married in a few hours. But still the bride remained calm.
She looked wonderful in her wedding dress, such fine detail and a beautiful design. I managed to capture a special moment when her mother and father gazed on her for the first time in her wedding gown. Those intimate moments are just priceless and a privilege to photograph.
I drove ahead to Normanton church to capture the arrival of the groom and guests. As always, Normanton church looked spectacular, it looks particularly great on a bright day, the blue in the lake and sky really jump out at you, it just begs to be photographed. The Groom and his groomsmen all looked exceptionally smart and also gave a very calm and collected.
The wedding camper vans meandered along the path towards Normanton church, such a beautiful sight. Charlotte was finally ready to meet her groom at the altar.
Glenn took a glance over his left shoulder to see his beautiful bride walk down the aisle. Their vowels were exchanged and within moments they were married.
After some beautiful readings and the signing of the register it was time to walk back down the aisle as husband and wife.
We spent some quality time around the grounds of Normanton church, taking advantage of the gorgeous blue skies. We also had some fun in the camper vans which made for great photographic props.
We all left to get to Rutland water golf course for the reception. They arrived to confetti, champagne and tumultuous applause from a courtyard full of their nearest and dearest family and friends.
I took the time to capture some candid photography whilst everyone mingled in the courtyard. Soon after this, we started photographing the group photos and friends pictures, we really had some fun with these, such a lively bunch of people.
After a tasty 3-course meal it was time for the eagerly anticipated speeches. All were heartfelt and entertaining, especially the duo of best men.
I was keeping an eye on the weather and noticed the sky had the most beautiful orange hue, begging for some sunset shots. We jumped in my car and took a short drive to a field I had spotted earlier. The conditions where great, I’d say it was one of the best sunsets I’d seen all year. Beautiful golden light, they both were really lucky. After a photo packed 15 minutes we headed back to Rutland Golf course to proceed with the cake cutting and first dance.
I stayed into the evening to photograph the dance floor antics and also have a taste of the kiln-baked pizza, which was great.
A really fantastic wedding day, which was an absolute pleasure to be a part of.
