Helen & Andrew's wedding took place at Ickworth House Hotel, photographed by Martin Beard, the wedding was a very relaxed and informal small wedding set out perfectly on a very unusual day for a wedding, first thing on Monday morning! I photographed the majority of the wedding completed natural with a small number of traditional photographs. This complimented exactly what the Bride & Groom had wanted, I finished the morning with a few formal photos in the beautiful Gardens at Ickworth house.
Penny and Anthony's (Dobbo) wedding was located at Moulton Church, Newmarket photographed by Martin Beard. I started with a special request from the groom's mum to photograph all the groomsmen under & on the bridge in Moulton. After a quick photograph in the village pub I popped back to the brides house to finish all the bridal preparation photos, these were captured as natural as possible as everyone is always very busy. The bride was taken to Moulton church in a horse & carriage. The service was held at St Peters Church, Moulton which is great for wedding photographs situated on top of a steep hill. The reception was located in a marquee in the meadow next to the church. Apart from the odd shower I photographed the majority off the formal photos with the church in the background and lots of reportage photos of guests enjoying themselves. I photographed the speeches and stayed well into the evening to photographs the bride & grooms first dance.

Louise & Eoin's wedding took place at the stunning location of Hengrave Hall & Hengrave Church. Wedding photography by Martin Beard. This as was a very happy & relaxed day and made most enjoyable to getting to know a few family members as I photographed Louise brothers wedding the previous year> Started the photographs at the bride's parents house whilst Jackie photographed the wedding guests arriving at Hengrave Church< this allowed me to spend more time with the bride before I arrived at the church. After the service the wedding party walked across the historic grounds from the Church to the reception, with Hengrave hall being the perfect backdrop. The formal gardens at Hengrave Hall are perfect for wedding photographs with many stunning photographs taken, everyone took there seats in the historic Long Gallery for the wedding breakfast and speeches. After the wedding breakfast I took the bride & groom around the grounds at Hengrave Hall for a few minutes of photography to finish off with stunning backdrop of the main house and courtyard. The first dance is always a photographic treat at Hengrave with the chequered dance floor against the beautiful historic architecture.
