Colchester charm, laughter, and a day that felt like family
Some weddings are big productions. Others, like Kerri & Alan’s at the beautiful Tymperleys Tea Room in Colchester, are intimate, warm, and full of personality. And honestly? Those are the ones that linger in your memory the most.
Kerri and I go back a while — she used to be a work colleague of my wife, and after a few BBQs and plenty of laughs, we became good friends. So when she asked me to capture her wedding to Alan, it wasn’t just another booking — it felt like being part of the family. And knowing these two, I was expecting a day filled with humour, smiles, and maybe a cheeky one-liner or two. They didn’t disappoint.
The ceremony was cosy and heartfelt, with just their closest family and friends. Tymperleys, tucked away in Colchester’s historic town centre, was the perfect setting. With its timber-framed charm, hidden courtyard garden, and relaxed atmosphere, it offered exactly what the couple wanted — a place that felt welcoming, full of character, and not overly formal.
After the “I do’s”, everyone settled in for a relaxed celebration of good food, drinks, and conversation — no rigid schedules, no fuss, just pure enjoyment. It was the kind of wedding where you leave feeling like you’ve spent the day with old friends (which, in my case, was literally true).
Colchester – A Hidden Gem for Weddings
Colchester, Britain’s oldest recorded town, isn’t just steeped in history — it’s also a fantastic place for weddings. Between the Roman walls, stunning parks, and charming venues like Tymperleys Tea Room, it offers couples a mix of heritage and intimacy that’s hard to beat. For those searching for a wedding photographer in Colchester, it’s a dream location — full of backdrops that balance history with romance.
A huge thank you to Kerri & Alan for trusting me with your day and for filling it with so much laughter. From BBQs to weddings, you two always know how to make life fun — and your wedding was no exception.
