Woodhall Manor :: Winter Wedding Photography for Gavin & Kathryn

Back at Woodhall Manor again! Our weddings have mainly been at Woodhall Manor of late and its a venue which offers so much and this time we got snow! I have wanted to shoot a snowy wedding for a long while ans I finally got my chance on the 19th of December - although I did panic a little about getting there!
Fortunately we got there fine and there was loads of snow around, which for the poor bridesmaids was not so much fun in their tiny ( if very pretty ) shoes - Kathryn on the other hand had a secret weapon and a large pair of boots with thick socks where hiding underneath that dress!
Gavin and Kathryn where great, the snow was great and I hope you think our pictures are great!

spot the boots!

Woodhall Manor :: Wedding Photography :: For Owen & Angela

Woodhall Manor played host to our first wedding of December for Owen and Angela on Saturday the 12th of December. Woodhall Manor is a great place for wedding photography especially when it is getting dark. We had bright sunlight before the service which provided some great lighting in the pre wedding images but after the service my first real rain of the year started to come down so for Owen and Angelas friends and family shots where done inside - by the time we got to Woodhall it had dried up but it was quite dark - but this is where a venue like Woodhall Manor comes into its own. Woodhall Manor looks really atmospheric at this time of year and using a combination of off camera flash and video lights we where really able to capture a Woodhall Manor wedding like never before.
Owen and Angela where perfect hosts for their wedding - choosing personalised gifts for all their guests and providing some truly stunning food and wines for their wedding guests including us which was just fantastic - thanks!

1.8 50mm - love it- it was dark in here!

Just love low winter sunlight!

The sun had gone but a splash of off camera flash!

Woodhall Manor :: Wedding Photography :: For Richard & Jess

On the 14th of November we were back at Woodhall Manor for the wedding of Richard and Jess. The day's wedding photography started in Felixstowe, Suffolk for the preparation shots. After the service in Felixstowe we traveled to Woodhall Manor and between the wind and showers we got a great set of images. The day was really dramatic as the wind was servere bringing down trees onto powerlines and cutting off the whole of Sutton Village and parts of Woodbridge. Fortunately Richard and Jess had opted for a candlelit reception so the lack of electric was not a problem in fact it resulted in one of the most fantastic atmospheres at a wedding with the staff of Woodhall Manor lighting the venue with hundreds and hundreds of candles!

Sprowston Manor Hotel :: Norwich :: Wedding Photography for Rene' & William

A few days later we were in Norfolk on Wednesday the 7th of November for the wedding of William and Rene at the Sprowston Manor Hotel in Norwich for their wedding photography. This was a huge wedding with over 240 guests but that made for a great atmosphere. With these temperatures I think we can now say we have entered the winter wedding season! Sprowston Manor Hotel is another impressive venue with its marquee ideal for weddings with lots of guests. William and Rene made us feel really welcome and we had a great time shooting their wedding.

Ipswich Waterfront and Bramford Wedding Photography for Matt & Amanda

After Fridays wedding at Isaacs we were back at Ipswich's waterfront for the start of our shoot for Matt and Amandas wedding. Ipswich's waterfront is a great location which once all the building work is completed is going to be even more stunning for wedding and portrait photography.This wedding was on the November 7th and with the wedding service at 4pm we knew the only natural light would be for the pre-wedding shots after the service we used off camera flash, and whatever lighting we could find!
Amanda and Matt had a great wedding and filled the day with personal touches that made it really special.

Isaacs :: Ipswich Waterfront :: Wedding Photography for Paul and Sharon

Our first wedding in November was also our first wedding at Isaacs on the Ipswich waterfront. We had shot on the waterfront in Ipswich way back in march and we were looking forward to going back. Isaacs is a new venue for weddings in Ipswich and it is a beautiful old building with a modern contemporary feel. Paul and Sharon were great in front of the camera and they made our job an abosolute breeze! Their girls were fantastic too and we got one of our favourite bridesmaids shots which you can see below.
We can definately reccomend Isaacs as a great wedding venue in a amazing location.
