The wedding of Jamie & Sarah Dando

Laurence James Photography recently captured the wedding of Jamie and Sarah Dando at Orsett Hall. We'd really been looking forward to their wedding, not only because they are a great couple, but because we had never worked at Orsett Hall before and had heard so many good things about it.

Orsett Hall is a fantastic wedding venue. The grounds are beautiful and there are plenty of different areas for guests to mingle and relax - and for us to take photos! Everything that you would need on your wedding day is available on site, from hair & beauty salons to spa & treatment rooms and even a florist! From the moment we drove down the long sweeping driveway, past a magnificent water fountain, we knew it was going to be a good day and couldn't wait to get started.

Whilst Sarah and her Bridesmaids were being pampered downstairs, Jamie and the boys were upstairs getting ready and looking after young Millie. The morning seemed to fly by and it wasn't too long before the ceremony was due to start. However, the boys still managed to find some time to play on the swings!

 Jamie and Sarah were very organised and had prepared a list of photo's they wanted us to take. Luckily for them, the Best Man and Ushers did a great job of organisng people so we were able to work our way through the list fairly quickly and then capture the day in reportage.

Before we knew it, the evening had arrived and it was time for the happy couple to take to the dancefloor for their first dance. Little did we know that Jamie and Sarah had been putting in a lot of practice and performed a set dance routine that was like something from a John Travolta movie!

The pictures of Jamie and Sarah's wedding are available to view in our Client Albums area. You should contact Jamie or Sarah for the password.

The wedding of Martin and Gemma

The first time we met Martin and Gemma we knew that photographing their wedding day was going to be challenging, relaxed but definitely lots of fun!

The 'challenging' part was making full use of the two beautiful Chelmsford locations they had chosen, the ceromony held at St Andrews Church in Boreham and then the reception held in Boreham House. There was also the threat of rain on the day but despite the odd shower in the morning, it turned out to be perfect!

The 'relaxed' and 'lots of fun' part was definitely down to Martin and Gemma! There is something about them that makes you instantly like them and you feel like you have known them for years. Martin is very chilled out and was happy to go with the flow. Gemma on the other hand is full of energy and is always up for a good laugh.

We are pleased to announce that Martin and Gemma's wedding gallery is now available to view online. You can access it via the 'Client albums' section of our website. You will need a password to access the gallery, please contact Martin or Gemma for this. We hope you enjoy them!

The wedding of Lauren and Ben

Capturing Lauren and Ben's wedding day was lots of fun! It was also one of the hottest days this year!

Hylands House in Chelmsford was the setting for this beautiful day and Laurence James Photography were there to capture the events as they unfolded.

 

Lauren looked stunning and her smile was beaming with excitement as she arrived and walked down the isle. Ben on the other hand was cool, calm and collective and was determined to have a great day.

Ben and Lauren make a fantastic couple and the emotion, excitement, fun and love on that day certainly made for great photos.

We are pleased to announce that Lauren and Ben's wedding gallery is now available to view online. You can access it via the 'Client albums' section of our website. You will need a password to access the gallery, please contact Lauren or Ben for this. We hope you enjoy them!

The wedding of Kirsty and Jamie

Kirsty and Jamie's wedding was a great success! The weather was kind and the day seemed to run like clockwork. It was fun shooting a wedding where everybody was so friendly and relaxed, it certainly made us feel very welcome.

We met the happy couple in the morning as they were preparing for their special day. Surprisingly, it felt very calm and there were no signs of stress - as you might expect on one of the biggest days of your life!

 
St Mary's Church in Gt Baddow was a lovely venue for the ceremony. Kirsty looked stunning as she made her entrance and her Father gleamed with pride as he walked her down the aisle.

We're not sure how many people noticed the bottom of Jamie's shoes as he knelt with Kirsty before the Vicar, but it certainly caught our eye and it was a shot we couldn't afford to miss.

After the ceremony the wedding party moved on to the Ivy Hill Hotel. It was here that we captured the rest of the days' events, from walking in the grounds with the newly wed couple, photographing laughter, emotions and happiness during the speeches and capturing their first dance and the cutting of the cake.

We are pleased to announce that Kirsty and Jamie's wedding gallery is now available to view online. You can access it via the 'Client albums' section of our website. You will need a password to access the gallery, please contact Kirsty or Jamie for this. We hope you enjoy them!

Jamie and Kirsty - Pre wedding shoot.

Jamie and Kirsty are getting married on Saturday 31st March 2012 at St Marys Church in Gt Baddow. We are really pleased that they have chosen Laurence James Photography to capture their wedding day.
We caught up with them for a pre-wedding shoot and the opportunity to get to know them a bit better.

We met at St Mary's church for a few photos and talked about the wedding day. After that we went to the Ivy Hill Hotel, the venue for their reception.

We had a great afternoon finding out more about their special day and exploring the grounds. They're a great couple and quickly relaxed to Stuart and I photographing them.

Despite the fallen snow and the cold breeze the sun was shining. We are sure the weather will be perfect on their wedding day and we can't wait to take lots of stunning shots and capture the whole event for them to remember.
