Wedding Photographer St Albans
St Albans is one of the best places in Hertfordshire to get married. It has the cathedral, the registry office, several country house hotels, a Roman park, and enough independent pubs and restaurants to keep any reception going. It also happens to be a great city to photograph, with a lot of variety packed into a small area.
We cover all wedding types in St Albans from a short ceremony at the registry office on a Tuesday morning to a full day at Sopwell House or St Michael's Manor. Our packages start at £260 for 2 hours, which is enough to cover a registry office ceremony, group shots, and portraits outside. For couples who need more time, we charge by the hour with no minimum day rate.
Whether you are planning something small and intimate or a larger wedding with a full guest list, we will be there on time, stay out of the way during the ceremony, and give you honest, clean photos you will actually want to keep.

St Albans Registry Office Wedding Photography
The St Albans Registry Office, known as The Gatehouse, is set within the old gatehouse of a former Victorian prison on Civic Close. It is one of the most distinctive registry offices in Hertfordshire the heavy doors and historic stone exterior make for strong photos before the ceremony even begins.
Ceremonies at The Gatehouse tend to move quickly. The rooms are small, guest numbers are usually limited, and the whole ceremony can be over in 20 minutes. This is not a problem if your photographer has been there before. We know the space, we know where the light comes from, and we know when to move to get the key moments.
After the ceremony, there are several good portrait spots within a short walk or drive: Sopwell Nunnery for something historic and open, Verulamium Park for greenery, and St Albans Cathedral for architecture. We know all of them and can recommend what works best depending on how much time you have and what you want your photos to look like.
Our registry office package starts at £260 for 2 hours. That covers your arrival, the full ceremony, group shots, and portraits nearby. Most couples getting married at The Gatehouse book between 2 and 3 hours, which is enough to cover everything comfortably.
