February brought along the wedding of Katharine & Ross, who chose to marry in the beautiful setting of St Michael's Manor Hotel, in St Albans. It's an immaculately furnished venue and I was thrilled to find that their ceremony and dinner was to take place in a conservatory with huge windows - truly a photographers dream!
Katharine chose to get ready at home in London, so I met them both at the venue, and one of my favourite shots of the whole year has to be the black and white photograph of Katharine getting out of the wedding car. Her face absolutely beamed despite the rain and she looked incredible in a classic satin dress and carrying a bouquet of delicate white anemones - one of my favourite flowers.
As they said their vows there was so much joy and laughter, and it was a dream to shoot with the light pouring in through the windows. What I loved about this venue was that even though it rained all day, you can't tell as the venue is filled with light with big windows everywhere!
We took a few minutes out to shoot in the foyer and on the staircase, giving Katharine & Ross some time to just have a chat and enjoy each others company in a quiet moment amongst the madness of their wedding day. Congratulations you two and thank you so much for the privilege of capturing your day.
