Lauren & Andy chose the beautiful St Francis Church, in Welwyn Garden City followed by the majestic Hanbury Manor for their Wedding reception and photography.
Both Lauren & Andy chose to get ready at Hanbury, which was fantastic for us as we were able to make the most of the beautiful grounds and features inside the hotel! I met with an excited Lauren and her bridesmaids upstairs in the Amy Suite, while Mark met with Andy and his groomsmen downstairs and spent some time with them around the grounds.
Lauren’s dress was absolutely stunning! Featuring a beautiful corset to show off Lauren’s tiny waist and intricate embroidery, she looked absolutely gorgeous! Andy looked rather dapper too and there was evidence of the family tartan in both the couple’s attire.
Lauren’s proud Dad escorted our lovely bride through the hotel and I remember hearing the ‘wow’s’ from the hotel guests as she passed!
A beautiful church ceremony followed at St Francis in Welwyn Garden City – the shots from the back showed off the beautiful interior, whilst Mark captured the couple beautifully from the front. One of my favourite shots is the confetti after the ceremony with the wide angle lens to capture as many of their friends and guests as was possible!
We photographed with Lauren & Andy during their reception and then again after their meal when the light was softer at the front of the hotel! It’s always a lovely time to take photographs after the meal when people are generally more relaxed and the sun is lower in the sky!
Mark stayed on to cover their first dance and we love some of the shots inside Poll’s Hall at Hanbury.
Every detail was perfect on this beautiful day, from the hand made stationary which Lauren and I chatted about on many occasions before the big day, to the couple supplying flip flops for their guests aching feet in the evening! A beautiful day from a beautiful couple – congratulations to Lauren & Andy and thank you to all their friends and family who made us feel so welcome! xx
