Gaynes Park at a glance
Gaynes Park is a family-owned estate high on the Epping Ridge at Coopersale, about two miles from Epping town centre and close to the M25 and M11. It’s exclusive use, with historic barns, ancient woodland and a Walled Garden, and a view of the London skyline. The Orangery, Gather Barn and Mill Barn are licensed for ceremonies of up to 150 guests, and the Mill Barn seats 150 for the meal, rising to 200 in the evening. For staying over, the estate has a 10-bedroom Coach House, which is run independently.
A wedding that had pretty everything is the only way to describe Jodie & Asa’s big day!
We started this glorious summer day with the ever enjoyable bridal preparation. I particularly love watching the wedding mornings unfold. There’s so much emotion squeezed in between all the action! It’s a real challenge but such a rewarding experience to document and different every time! Here’s a little blog post I put together with some ‘Bridal Preparation Tips’
A stunningly beautiful church wedding followed at the All Saints Church in Theydon Garnon before we made our way over to the famous Gaynes Park for the rest of the day.
Gaynes Park Wedding
Gaynes Park is a highly stylish and contemporary wedding venue in Essex, set in the grounds of a historic country estate. The picturesque venue is surrounded by British countryside made up of farmland and woodland, with the London skyline clearly in the distance.
Their party continued late into the night with close friends and family all getting involved! Add freshly cooked pizza and popcorn and that’s a party! I wish Jodie & Asa all the best in the future, they’re a brilliantly suited couple who deserve nothing but the best in their future together.
I must also thank Rideout Films who kindly recommended me to Jodie & Asa. Working with David is always a pleasure and you can see the stunning film he made here:- Jodie & Asa – And That’s You

Photographing a Gaynes Park wedding
Jodie and Asa married at All Saints Church in Theydon Garnon, then came on to Gaynes Park for the rest of the day. That pairing works well: the church gives you a traditional ceremony, and the estate gives you space for confetti, relaxed portraits and a long party. Their evening ran late with friends and family on the dancefloor, plus freshly cooked pizza and popcorn.
