Here’s the second part of the Essex wedding photography from Leanne & David’s lovely wedding from last year. This wedding was an absolute joy to photograph as it had so many elements to photograph!

Leanne & David were married at St Christopher’s Church Willingale, and had the reception at their stunning house nearby. After the beautiful church service, Leanne and David were congratulated by their guests in the churchyard to the amazing sounds of a Gospel Choir, who then lead the couple through the confetti to David’s waiting Ferrari. Originally the bride, groom and all guests were going to walk the short distance back to the wedding reception for a balloon release – unfortunately, the good old British weather put paid to that plan – well, all apart from a few brave souls!

The guests waved the happy couple off in a cloud of tyre smoke as David made his grand exit. While the bride and groom went for a (loud) trip around the lanes, I took a short cut to photograph their arrival back at the house.

In the marquee, the guests enjoyed drinks and canapes to the sounds of a great acoustic trio, while some of the younger guests made a beeline for the fantastic bumper cars and candyfloss!

After they’d enjoyed the drinks and canapes, I took David and Leanne back into the house for some informal, relaxed bride and groom portraiture. I’m sure you’ll agree, Leanne looked stunning in her Susanne Neville dress, which was supplied by the lovely Reggie and Mo at The Bespoke Wardrobe in Ingatestone. Any bride in Essex who’s looking for a stunning dress and excellent customer service, I can thoroughly recommend a visit!

Come back soon for more Essex wedding photography in part 3 of Leanne & David’s wedding day – some very heartfelt speeches, dancing, more bumper cars, and the firework finale!
