Kelly and Andy’s fun Essex Wedding

wedding, love, bride and groom, Downham Hall

It’s always a huge pleasure to photograph the weddings of people you know, especially when you’ve known them for years, Kelly and Andy were no exception. I had known then from  my days as a Catering Manager and it was truly a privilege to be there on their wedding day. They met whilst working at an American Bank in Canary Wharf called Northern Trust, which is where I met them. They would often find me serving Lattes in the coffee bar or cooking fried eggs for breakfast in the deli. Little did I know back then, that one day I would have the privilege to photograph their wedding. I also knew a lot of their guests as they had invited some of their work colleagues to their wedding.
They got married at a fabulous venue in Essex called Downham Hall. Kelly stayed the night and the next day spent the morning with her bridal party getting ready, makeup was done by the insanely talented Sophie Essex.
Andy arrived in plenty of time before the ceremony in a majestic brown Aston Martin on loan from a very good friend. Read more about Kelly and Andy’s amazing day here;
