Yesterday we were both at Brocket Hall photographing and filming the wedding of Craig and Debbie. It was such a fun day with a great group of people! The ceremony was held at the Church of St Mary the Virgin in Welwyn and then the Guests were transported back to the reception in two vintage Routemaster busses. During the drinks reception, everyone was kept entertained by the fabulous Vernon Sisters, a jazz trio made up of not surprisingly three sisters! The atmosphere throughout the whole day was fun and lively and made slightly more fun and certainly very lively during the meal when each table was named after a spirit and a bottle of the spirit was provided to help the guests toast the happy couple, which they did with unwavering enthusiasm! This warmed everyone up perfectly for the hilarious speeches after dinner. In the evening, the party continued downstairs, where the room had been transformed under the supervision of Antonia at Peppermint Divas. This was our second time working with Antonia and if anyone is looking for a planner, we thoroughly recommend her. We left at 10pm with the party in full swing and we are looking forward to catching up with Craig and Debbie soon.

About Brocket Hall
Brocket Hall is an 18th-century Grade I listed country house set in 543 acres of Hertfordshire parkland just outside Welwyn. The house has been home to two British Prime Ministers and retains its grand Palladian state rooms, including the magnificent ballroom lit by its original chandeliers. Ceremonies can be held indoors or by the lake.
What I love shooting in a venue like this is the range of backdrops within a few minutes’ walk. One set of portraits in the grand formal rooms; a completely different set on the lawns; another in a walled garden or courtyard. The album ends up covering what feels like several very different locations.
