Serving Sarratt
Sarratt is a pretty Chilterns village with a historic green. From grand country houses to intimate registry-office ceremonies, we are at home everywhere across Chorleywood, Chipperfield and Rickmansworth. We photograph at churches, country houses and registry offices right across Hertfordshire.
We blend candid storytelling with a handful of timeless couple portraits at golden hour, away from the wedding breakfast. We capture the day honestly, from the nerves of bridal preparation to the joy of the confetti thrown outside. We plan for changeable British weather, with a relaxed wet-weather backup ready for the confetti and portraits if it is needed.
From our London base we travel across Hertfordshire for weddings, and Sarratt, a pretty Chilterns village with a historic green, is a familiar destination. We also photograph in nearby Knebworth and Welwyn. Venues we know well in and near Sarratt include Micklefield Hall and The Grove.
Sarratt is a pretty Chilterns village in the Three Rivers district, clustered along a long narrow historic green about four miles north of Rickmansworth. Sarratt is served by nearby Chorleywood and Rickmansworth stations on the Metropolitan line, and lies close to junction 18 of the M25. For pre-wedding and couple portraits, we love spots such as The Chess Valley and Sarratt Bottom, a chalk stream landscape in the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with The Church of the Holy Cross, a flint and brick church founded around 1190 close by for a striking backdrop.

What we offer
For larger weddings, a second shooter covers the bridal prep and the groom's preparations at once.
A handful of timeless couple portraits at golden hour, away from the wedding breakfast.
Relaxed, natural coverage of civil ceremonies and licensed civil-venue weddings.
Every tradition
The blessings and the readings from family and friends are captured with warmth. We are ready for the register signing, a natural pause that makes for lovely, relaxed photographs. We capture the couple's first steps as husband and wife, or as newlyweds, straight after the vows.
The first dance opens the evening reception, and we photograph it with all of its energy. From the canapes to the last dance, the reception carries the celebration into the evening. We capture the guests and the family moments, not just the couple.

The whole celebration
Some couples like a first look before the ceremony; others prefer to wait for the aisle, and we plan for either. We plan the timings with you in advance, so the morning never feels rushed.
We photograph the ceremony, the portraits and the reception in balance, so each is given its due. From the first look to the last dance, we follow the whole day at its own pace.
Why choose us
With twenty-five years and over a thousand church, civil and country-house weddings behind us, nothing about the day surprises us. We are trusted with weddings of every size, from an intimate registry-office ceremony to a country house of several hundred guests.
Travelling between your church ceremony and your country-house reception is simply part of how we work. We are London-based but rarely in London; much of our work takes us to the country houses and churches of the Home Counties.

Where we travel
We are used to days split between a registry office and a country-house reception, and we keep everything flowing between them. We cover the whole of the UK for weddings, so the distance to a remote manor house or country church is never a barrier.

Good to know
Yes. Our style is mainly documentary, capturing the day as it happens, but we will also gather a handful of timeless couple and family portraits. That way your album holds both the natural, unposed moments and a few classic, beautifully composed ones to treasure.
Absolutely. We regularly photograph Anglican and Catholic church weddings in Sarratt, working quietly and respectfully around the service, the readings and the hymns. We then capture the confetti and the celebrations outside afterwards, so the whole ceremony is told from start to finish.
There is no strict rule, but earlier is always wiser. Because summer weekends fill quickly, many couples enquire twelve to eighteen months ahead. If your date is sooner, do still ask, as we may well be free. Tell us the details and we will check straight away.
Yes. For larger weddings we bring a second photographer, so the bridal preparation and the groom's preparations can be covered at the same time. It also means both the ceremony and the guests are fully captured, with two angles on the biggest moments of the day.
Always, without exception. To every Sarratt wedding we bring spare cameras, lenses and memory cards, and we copy your images as the day goes on. That way your photographs are protected from the very moment the shutter is pressed, whatever happens to a single piece of kit.
