Tom & Sara: Brentwood Cathedral & Friern Manor Wedding

What a treat to photograph an Essex wedding in the beautiful, light-filled Brentwood Cathedral.
Sara began her wedding day at her parents’ home, getting ready with her bridesmaids and family before heading off to the nearby cathedral. Capturing those touching moments in such a beautiful building was a real pleasure. Tom, her soon-to-be husband, was clearly emotional about marrying his best friend.
Blessed yet again with a glorious Essex day – sunshine and deep blue skies – it put a smile on everyone’s face. Even more smiles appeared when Steve Hearn, the wedding caricaturist, arrived to capture the guests’ personalities. I was there to capture their reactions!
Tom and Sara have such warm and supportive friends and family – perfect for the wonderful life ahead of them.
