Fennes Estate Wedding Photography Essex
Wedding Photography at Fennes Estate in Bocking Essex
Fennes Estate in Essex is a beautiful Georgian Manor House wedding venue set in the rural North Essex countryside and was the perfect setting for Alex and Emma’s summer wedding.
Having photographed Alex and Emma’s pre wedding photography in Iceland I knew what an amazing couple they were and how much fun they were to work with and it was lovely to see so many amazing details come together on the day.
As an incredibly talented artist, Emma had designed and created many of the stunning details that made the day so unique and personal and the whole wedding was filled with these amazing touches.
The day began with the bride getting ready in the beautiful bridal suite at Fennes with her team of bridesmaids and family members. The ceremony was followed by reception drinks in the stunning grounds at Fennes before the reception and speeches.
Here are a few images from this Essex wedding at Fennes Estate in Bocking.
