Essex wedding photography by Simon Carr: Lesley and Nick at Leez Priory

The first of my two weddings this week was at the beautiful Leez Priory in Essex.

Lesley and Nick opted for an outside ceremony under the towers. It was touch and go with the weather, but clearly someone was on their side as things brightened up in time for the service. This kind of situation is very tough to photograph as the light values differ greatly between the shade under the tower, and the hard sunlight outside…but, I like a challenge!

After the open air service, and after all of the guests had congratulated the happy couple, we went up into the tower to use some stunning window light for a quick romantic portrait.
