Rothamsted Manor Wedding | Harpenden Wedding Photographer | Sarah & Michael

A few weeks back, I photographed the Spicer Street Church and Rothamsted Manor wedding of Sarah and Michael. I first met Sarah and Michael a few years ago after I had shot weddings of Sarah’s sister, Ellie and her brother, Jimmy. Back in those days, Michael had a striking blond mop of hair and to my eye, a passing resemblance to a doctor from a television series.

The days leading up to their spring wedding were pretty wet and miserable but happily, the day of Sarah & Michael’s wedding dawned sunny with blue sky and cumulus clouds. Aside from a brief shower and darkening clouds later in the day the weather was fortuitously dry in St Albans and Harpenden.

The officiant for their wedding ceremony, Reverend Richard Hagan was the minister from their local church back in Canterbury, Kent. While Sarah was running fashionably late and watching Michael’s friend dart around with his camera, I chatted briefly with Richard about how the evangelical churches were set up after the Reformation and the people had a chance to read the Bible for themselves.

After the wedding ceremony, there was a tea party reception in the church hall for their family and friends. Aside from seeing so many cupcakes, outside say, a Hummingbird bakery, it was very impressive to see so many friends had travelled from Canterbury to attend Sarah & Michael’s wedding ceremony.

The more formal drinks reception and later the wedding breakfast was held at Rothamsted Manor, Harpenden set in lovely Hertfordshire countryside. Reputedly flying squirrels have been spotted at Rothamsted but unfortunately I failed to see any.

The highlights cover the start of the wedding ceremony to the start of the wedding breakfast.
