Introduction

As you may know, The Gatehouse, St Albans Register Office is my local register office. Earlier this month I had the pleasure of photographing a wedding that took place there. The couple got married in front of their family and friends on a sunny afternoon at The Gatehouse.

The ceremony took place at The Gatehouse, St Albans Register Office.

The Gatehouse is a registered civil marriage venue, and it’s also a short walk from both St Albans train station. This means that it’s very easy to get to if you’re travelling by train (which I highly recommend). If you’re driving, then there is parking in the grounds of The Gatehouse, as well as a large car park nearby.

The groom’s preparation was at Luton Hoo Golf Club.
