NICOLA & JASON'S OLD BROOK BARN WEDDING

/
Autumn wedding at Old Brook Barn in Navestock Essex

Sunshine, chilled out and a whole lot of smiles was the general vibe of the day. Back in the autumn I photographed Nicola and Jason’s wedding at Old Brook Barn in Navestock Essex. When Nicola and Jason first contacted me about their wedding, they explained that they wanted a very relaxed style of photography and they didn’t want lots of formal stage photos. It was more about capturing everyone having a good time in a candid way.

Nicola literally smiled from ear to ear the entire time, and in her gorgeous alternative glittery dress she was glowing. I spent just three hours with Nicola and Jason that day but I left buzzing. Their happiness was infectious.

After the drinks reception, all the guests went inside the barn for a BBQ catered by Limeberry Catering whilst Simone played the saxophone on the barn’s veranda.

The tranquil Old Brook Barn set in the Essex countryside is a beautiful setting for a wedding. Embracing a Autumnal rustic colour theme, Katy and Tim held their ceremony and reception at the barn. Katy got ready at the cottage next to the barn in the company of close family and bridesmaids.

After the ceremony, Katy and Tim made the most of the weather and headed out in the gardens for confetti and drinks.

Speeches took place after dinner, followed by cake cutting and the a whole lot of fun on the dancefloor.

Here we are. Kat and Jay’s Old Brook Barn Wedding. It was a corker! Five months on and I am still talking about it! The children were amazing. The music was on point. The venue nailed it. Kat and Jay were obviously very cool! Oh my word, we just loved it. I could go on, but probably should stop talking so you can actually look at the photos!

As forecasted, it rained for most of the day. Like I always say, it’s not about the weather. It’s about the people. We will have a great time no matter what is going on in the skies. And we truly did. The team at Old Brook Barn are superb, putting their wet weather plan into action nice and early. They dressed the barn for a beautiful indoor ceremony and drinks reception.

The Function Band were in residence for the whole day. By that, I mean, this incredible dynamic showband, started playing prior to the ceremony, through the drinks reception, played setups during dinner and hit the dance floor hard in the evening. They know how to raise the roof. You can see for yourself in the images. They are an absolute joy to work alongside. Before dinner had even been served, they had everyone dancing on their chairs!

What a day! Every single minute was filled with awesome memories. I can’t thank Kat and Jay enough for having myself and Tianna along to capture the day the best way we know how.

TOM & LOUISE'S OLD BROOK BARN WEDDING

I have been meaning to share this wedding for months now. It's Tom and Louise's Old Brook Barn Wedding. Hidden gem, perfectly describes this venue. Nestled away in the Essex countryside, it is one of my favourite barn venues. We had sunshine, rain, belly laughs and bittersweet tears. Loved every minute.

DEBBI & DANNY-LEE'S OLD BROOK BARN WEDDING

Today's feature is Debbi and Danny-Lee's Old Brook Barn Wedding from last summer. I had the help of my trusted photography angels, Jay Anderson and Helen Taylor, for this wedding as baby Broad decided that I should head off to hospital for her arrival! In the meanwhile, Debbi and Danny-Lee had a fantastic day as they had a gorgeous outdoor wedding at one of my favourite boutique barn venues, Old Brook Barn in Navestock Essex. One of the highlights had to be the bouncy castle! After all it is not very often we get to see the bride and groom on a bouncy castle competing with the kids!

OLD BROOK BARN WEDDING

Today I have chosen to feature Sarah and Jodi’s Old Brook Barn wedding.

It was great to return to Brentwood Cathedral as it brought back memories from childhood having spent many school hours in there. However, this time I returned to photograph Sarah and Jodi’s wedding. After the service we headed to Old Brook Barn in Navestock which is a relatively new venue set in the Essex countryside.

Set in rural Essex countryside, Old Brook Barn is a beautiful converted barn split across two levels with a great elevated decking area. Admittedly, I have been looking forward to photographing a summer wedding at this venue.

Their wedding was full of personal touches and beautiful floral details.  The elegant bridesmaids dresses were made by Two Birds who have become known for their versatile wrap dresses.  The pretty sweet cart was provided by Chic Candy Boutique. Here’s a preview of Sarah and Jodi’s day. Check out the sparkly dance floor courtesy of Lovelight Entertainment. Thank you to Jay Anderson for second shooting.
