Wedding Photography At Friern Manor
In the summer I photographed the wedding of Mai-Brit and Jonathan and what a wonderful, and interesting wedding it was. Mai-Brit is from Denmark and so the wedding day had lots of Danish influences.
The day started with me photographing the girls at the hotel where they were getting ready. Mai-Brit was so excited getting ready and but I soon had to dash off to the church in Southend on Sea to meet up with Jonathan and all the other wedding guests.
It was an emotional Christian wedding and I don’t think I found one dry eye amongst everyone. The ceremony was conducted in both English and Danish and a selection of the hymns chosen were also in Danish. Jonathan and Mai-Brit are such a lovely couple and hearing them exchange their vows was extremely emotional.
After the ceremony, the couple went off in their vintage wedding car while all the guests made their way to the reception venue by a London double decker bus. Providing the Wedding Photography At Friern Manor is always special, not only is it a wonderful venue to photograph at but the staff are always so helpful and friendly.
The dress code at a Danish wedding is more formal for the closer family with all the men in tuxedos and all the ladies in gowns and dresses. Danish tradition continued through to the speeches which took over three hours at least 13 speeches were given by friends, family and the couple.
Another tradition I witnessed is that when the groom leaves the table then all the men can line up to kiss the bride and vise versa for when the bride leaves the table. With so much going on it wasn’t until very late in the evening that I actually got to photograph the couple by themselves. After the first dance the Danish Midnight Wedding Waltz was then done. This involves the couple waltzing in the middle of the floor and all the guests slowly inch their way to the couple until their is one mass huddle in the middle.
All in all it was a fantastic and I wish the couple a wonderful life together.
