Talia and Michael’s wedding took place at the beautiful Auberge du Lac at Brocket Hall, one of several weddings in Hertfordshire I am photographing this year. Talia got ready in the bridal suite, which has a huge bay window, so the light poured in. Talia and Michael had hoped for an outdoor ceremony, but the good old English weather denied them that, so the chuppah was held in the tiny dining room, which was a tight fit! As usual, almost all of our coverage is documentary photography, honestly recording the day’s events. Our outdoor portraits are gently directed to get the best from the light and the location.

And luckily for us all, the clouds parted after a while, and we could all go outside for the rest of the day, and as you’ll see, the light in the evening was stunning. The speeches were excellent, and the dancing was brilliant – I think there were some very accomplished dancers among the guests. An excellent day was had by all.

Talia’s dress was by Louise Marie Couture, and her flowers were by Louise at Kendalls.
