A wedding Photographers Guide
Today our blog and small guide features Beckie & Harry's' Wedding,
Venue: Applewood Hall, Kenninghall Road, Banham, Norfolk, NR16 2HE
Like so many couples who have been able to tie the knot over the last couple of years Beckie and Harry's wedding was affected by COVID19 both in terms of being delayed and also COVID restrictions which were still in place, on the day of the wedding.
A quick guide to the venue!
Applewood Hall is located close to Banham Zoo in the Norfolk countryside. It's great for those guests who don't want t go home afterwards with glamping available "on the doorstep", as you can see with this drone shot.
Bridal Prep.
With most of our couples we begin the day with Bridal prep. Beckie and her bridesmaids got ready in one of the bungalows. Make-up and her were well underway when we arrived.
Our aim is to tell the story of the day, in pictures, from the preparations to the first dance as a married couple. Bridal prep is about the bride (and her bridesmaids) relaxing, reflecting and occasionally panicking BUT always good fun! Sometimes bubbly is consumed!!!
Becky and Harry were married in a local church. To get her and the bridesmaids there they had a horse and carriage ride - see below.

Harry works with cars for his day job, so it was no surprise he had organised his own special way of getting there, courtesy of our friend Dale, at Maserati Prestige Hire

It was worth the wait!

Now it's time to get to the Reception. Harry couldn't wait for a sip of the champagne!
A wedding has to have Confetti!
The Wedding Breakfast!
Becky and Harry make their entrance - complete with face masks.
The Evening
Because of COVID restrictions, no dancing allowed apart from first dance/Dad and Daughter dance.
So time for the Mr & Mrs Game instead (socially distanced, of course).
Some lovely late evening sunshine so some fun "couple" shots were needed.
