When Ada & James first contacted me to photograph and film their wedding at Friern Manor in Essex, I was so excited — especially because this wasn’t my first time celebrating with their family. I’d previously captured James’s brother’s wedding, so it felt like a joyful reunion to document another chapter in their story.
Their wedding day, on the sunny 25th of May 2025, was everything a spring wedding should be: full of warmth, laughter, beautiful personal touches, and so much love from family and friends.
A Stunning Wedding at Friern Manor in Essex
Friern Manor is such an elegant wedding venue in Essex — it was the perfect backdrop for Ada & James’ day. They exchanged vows in the garden, surrounded by blooming flowers, and celebrated in the manor’s gorgeous reception spaces with their nearest and dearest.
As their Essex wedding photographer and videographer, I always feel so grateful to work at Friern Manor — the light, the grounds, and the team there are simply wonderful.
Special Moments from Ada & James’ Wedding Day
One of my favourite parts of the day was seeing how close Ada & James are with their family. Ada’s sister May was not only the Maid of Honour but also did the bride’s makeup, adding an extra personal touch. They even added their own DIY stationery details to make everything feel so meaningful.
