Essex Wedding, Rochford Hotel, bride and groom kissing

Billie-May & JAck at the rochford hotel, essex

The Rochford Hotel in Essex offers an elegant and versatile wedding venue set within historic grounds, combining period charm with modern amenities to create a picturesque setting for ceremonies and receptions. Billy-jo & Jacks wedding at the Rochford Hotel in Essex had a timeless black-and-white theme, and the morning was full of energy and emotion. We captured the bride getting ready alongside her bridesmaids, the ladies celebrated with bubbles, and jokes, children twirling in their dresses and laughter floating through the room, with brides mum always close by, making it feel both joyful and intimate. The bridesmaids, dressed in black, perfectly matched the classic theme, while across the hall the men were getting ready together in black as well, sharing relaxed moments with friends and the bride and groom’s son. Those quiet, in-between moments—excitement, laughter, and family connection—set the tone beautifully for the day and made for natural, meaningful photographs.
