The couples I work with want to be with their friends. Have a drink. Hug their grandparents. Spend far too long on the dance floor.
Maybe even forget I'm there entirely.

They're not interested in spending hours away from their guests or feeling like the wedding revolves around photography. They want to be present, soak it all in and enjoy the day they've spent so long planning.

While you're busy enjoying the day, I'll be paying attention to everything else. The big moments, the unexpected ones and all the little interactions in between. And when it's time for portraits, we'll keep things relaxed, natural and quick so you can get back to celebrating.

Weddings at Ashridge House

I've photographed weddings at Ashridge House, and one thing I've learned is that no two weddings ever feel the same.

Some are elegant and understated. Others are loud, joyful and slightly chaotic. Some leave half the room in tears during the speeches. Others end with everyone crammed onto a packed dance floor wondering where the evening disappeared to.

What I love about Ashridge House is that it feels grand from the moment you arrive. From the impressive staircase in the main hall and the beautiful library to the chapel and stunning Italian Gardens, every part of the venue feels special without ever feeling over the top.

The Loggia is a particular favourite of mine. The light there is incredible and creates a beautiful space for photographs throughout the day. The South Terrace is another highlight, with its striking arches providing one of the most distinctive backdrops anywhere in Hertfordshire.

For all its grandeur, though, Ashridge House never feels intimidating. Couples and guests quickly settle into the day, making the most of the different spaces while creating an atmosphere that feels personal, relaxed and completely their own.

That's what I'm there for.
