Alex and James knew they wanted to get married in Essex and after some research, found Braxted Park. It was fair to say they searched no more as Alex tells us. “It's a real mix of modern meets traditional. We also knew that we weren't going to have a church wedding as neither of us are religious so seeing the Orangery and how beautiful it was sold the venue for us. The grand entrance when you drive down the long pathway to the main house at Braxted Park is really special. It really makes a great impression straight away!”

Shoot coordinator, Natalie Jane Webb, organised this shoot in Elmstead Market. She explains, “The aim of the shoot was to bring together an all-female group of talented local wedding suppliers, showcasing our individual skills and creating easily accessible yet beautiful and exciting bridal and hen party looks for spring/summer capturing them with powerful, timeless, fun and engaging images.” The photographer, was www.elizabethjayneweddings.com

A whole host of small business have now levelled up their food trucks, for fun, delicious fuss free catering for less formal, or more alternative wedding celebrations." says Sam Keating from https://hungrytribe.net - totally agree!
