St Albans Cathedral Wedding – A privilege and delight to photograph a Wedding at this beautiful and stunning Venue. We were very pleased to be asked to photograph Sophie and Steven’s Wedding at St. Albans Cathedral. Sophie and Steven were able to get married in St Albans Cathedral as they both went to University in the city. Our day started at St. Michael’s, Manor Hotel in St Albans, where Sophie, her family and Bridesmaids were getting ready. With lots going on there was much to photograph. 
Once the Bridesmaids were ready we took a few pictures in the garden. A breeze got up just as we were about to take some pictures of Sophie so we had to quickly find sheltered spot, not quite what we planned but we have to live with these things! Leaving them we then went to the Cathedral where Steven was greeting some of the Guests as we arrived so in between we took Steven and his Groomsmen for their pictures. It wasn’t long before the Bridesmaids arrived and waited with the Dean in the North Churchyard for the arrival of Sophie. With the Guests seated Sophie took her Father’s arm and made her entrance through the Pilgrim Door into the Cathedral and into the Lady Chapel. A beautiful service followed allowing us to capture some lovely moments. Sophie and Steven then led their Guests from the Lady Chapel to the West doors. 
Outside, they then had a few minutes greeting their Guests before we took an everybody picture, followed by some requested family Groups. Sophie and Steven were showered in rose petals before the guests left for the reception while the happy couple had a few pictures themselves in the Cathedral and around the grounds with David. Meanwhile the Guests and I made their way to pick up the Routemaster bus to the Wedding Reception at Shenley Cricket Club, Radlett. On arrival at Shenley Cricket Club the Guests enjoyed the Drinks Reception and it wasn’t long before Sophie and Steven arrived. Grace, Sophie’s sister then entertained everybody with her wonderful singing, providing some emotional moments, captured of course! After catching up on a few small group shots it was soon time for the Wedding Breakfast held in the Marquee. Coverage of the Speeches followed before a break before the evening celebrations. This allowed us to take Sophie and Steven for a few moments for a some of them in the soft evening light.
During the evening we took some informal pictures of their evening Guests as well as speaking to familiar faces that earlier in the day we didn’t have time to speak to. Sophie and Steven cut their Wedding Cake just before the First Dance and with a sunset completed we were happy with our work for the day, it was time for us to say goodbye. A wonderful day!
Tyttenhanger Park wedding – A new Venue for us! Bridget and Chris first saw us four years ago at Rebecca and Pete’s Wedding at Spains Hall, where they were Guests, so we were delighted to be asked to photograph their summer Wedding. It was a beautiful day when we arrived at Bridget and Chris’ house for Bridget’s final bridal preparations. After capturing the details and accessories, we took a few pictures inside before stepping outside briefly for a couple more. Just as we were leaving to go to the Church, the horse and carriage arrived for Bridget, her Parents and Bridesmaids. St Thomas a Beckett Church in Northaw was the chosen Church for the marriage of Bridget and Chris. We didn’t have long to wait before Chris, his Parents, Best Man and Ushers arrived at the Church in a Limousine. After capturing a few pictures as they got out and a few traditional shots together with some Guest arrival pictures, we waited for Bridget. Once Bridget arrived she made her way into the Church for the service. 
Following the service, once all the guests had exited the Church, we got on with the requested pictures. With not much shade we worked as quickly as possible being an extremely hot day! Bridget and Chris then left the Church in the Horse and Carriage to go to the Reception at Tyttenhanger Park. As the Wedding Guests arrived before Bridget and Chris at Tyttenhanger Park, St Albans, they enjoyed the Drinks Reception in the superb grounds, entertained by the Harpist. We captured some lovely natural relaxed pictures of them all before Bridget and Chris arrived. The splendid grounds of Tyttenhanger Park made a superb setting as Bridget and Chris arrived. 
After they had socialised with their Guests for a little while, we took some fun bridal party pictures and a few pictures of Bridget and Chris around the grounds. 
After a big group shot it was time for the Wedding Breakfast in the Ballroom. Before the beginning of the meal Bridget’s Dad and Chris gave their Speeches. The Best Man’s speech was after the meal after which everybody went outside and enjoyed the evening sunshine. With so many fabulous photographic opportunities at Tyttenhanger Park, we were spoilt for choice as to where to go for Bridget and Chris’ pictures, so taking a reality check, we condensed our ideas down! Their Evening Guests were arriving and it was soon time for the cake cutting and First Dance. Bridget and Chris entertained their Guests with a great rehearsed First Dance. Bridget and Chris wanted a sunset picture which incorporated a quick drive in our car and they were not disappointed! A brilliant end to a brilliant day!
Thank you to Paul and Helen, the Owners of Tyttenhanger Park for making us so welcome. Rebecca and Pete, lovely to see you again!
Pre-Wedding Pictures – We met Bridget and Chris recently, first at their Church where they are going to be married and then on to their Wedding Venue, Tyttenhanger Park, St. Albans, Hertfordshire. This being a new Venue for us, we wanted to have a look around and we were delighted with the wonderful opportunities for pictures.
