Bride and groom outside St Albans Register office

Claire and David celebrated their wedding with a small, intimate ceremony at St.Alban’s Register Office, followed by celebrations at The White Hart Hotel, an historic and cosy pub in the centre of the historic Roman city. We snuck off for some lovely couples portraits and made it back in time for a quick toast before lunch was served.

My micro wedding package was just enough to capture guests arriving for the ceremony, the ceremony and confetti, a handful of quick group shots and some relaxed and natural portraits around the Hertfordshire city.

The historic buildings, cobbled streets, interesting architecture, hidden archways and ancient Roman walls, not to mention the vast parks and outdoor spaces give couples getting married in St Albans plenty of impressive backdrops for memorable wedding photos.
