A Wedding at Friern Manor - Emma & Chris

What a day Emma & Chris had on Friday. 
After a very rainy morning, the sky did the decent thing and cleared up nicely in time for the wedding.
The actual marriage took place at All Saints Church in Upminster, a lovely little church with Marion, a world class Vicar who did an incredible job.

Chris and all of the guests were there in good time awaiting the arrival of the beautiful bride. Emma made sure no one was kept waiting for long though, as she arrived right on time.

And just like that, it was showtime!
The ceremony was beautiful and a little emotional too.

And then everyone made the short trip to Friern Manor in Dunton. One of my all time favourite venues. And as always, the team there had everything looking great for the happy couple, so we immediately took a stroll around the gardens for some photos.

We got some lovely shots a little later too. Both in the sense of photos and, well…

Before we knew it, day turned to night and was time for Emma and Chris to have their first dance.

And then… PARTY TIME!

My favourite thing about photographing weddings at Friern Manor is that it is incredible for night shots. 
I always try to sneak my couples away for 5 minutes at night time for a shot or two, so I was delighted when Emma and Chris agreed to pop outside with me.

That’s all for this little preview, folks.

An incredible day for the most wonderful couple. 

I’ll add one or two more pictures from this day to the Facebook and Instagram pages as I edit them, so feel free to follow along over there.

Huge thanks to all at Friern Manor for taking such good care of me and for making sure everything ran so smoothly - as always.

Thanks too to all of Emma and Chris’ wonderful guests for making me so welcome.
