Wendy and Roy’s Dream Wedding: St Mary’s Church in Hitchin and The Priory in Little Wymondley

As a wedding photographer, there’s nothing more fulfilling than capturing the magic of a couple’s big day. Wendy and Roy’s wedding was an incredible blend of tradition, elegance, and heartfelt moments, making it a joy to photograph from start to finish. With the ceremony at the breathtaking St Mary’s Church in Hitchin and the reception at the picturesque Priory in Little Wymondley, their wedding was the perfect combination of stunning venues and beautiful moments to capture.

Wendy and Roy’s wedding was a day filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments, set against the stunning backdrops of St Mary’s Church in Hitchin and The Priory in Little Wymondley. As their wedding photographer, I had the privilege of capturing every detail of this incredible celebration, from the heartfelt ceremony to the lively reception.

The day began at St Mary’s Church, a historic gem in the heart of Hitchin. Known for its magnificent architecture and serene atmosphere, the church provided the perfect setting for Wendy and Roy’s vows. Wendy arrived looking breathtaking in her timeless bridal gown, her radiant smile lighting up the moment she stepped through the church doors. Roy stood at the altar, his expression a mix of love, joy, and anticipation as he saw her for the first time.

The ceremony itself was deeply moving, filled with the kind of moments that make being a wedding photographer so rewarding. The natural light streaming through the stained-glass windows illuminated the space beautifully, creating the perfect atmosphere for photographs that captured the intimacy and emotion of the day. As Wendy and Roy exchanged their vows, surrounded by family and friends, the church seemed to hum with warmth and joy.

Once the ceremony concluded, the celebration moved to The Priory in Little Wymondley, a venue that perfectly complemented the elegance of St Mary’s Church. Nestled in the Hertfordshire countryside, The Priory is a venue rich in history, with rustic barns, charming interiors, and picturesque grounds. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this was the ideal place for Wendy and Roy to celebrate their love.

The reception was lively and joyful, filled with heartfelt speeches, laughter, and plenty of candid moments. The barn, decorated with romantic lighting and thoughtful touches, set the stage for an unforgettable evening. Wendy and Roy’s first dance under the twinkling lights was a magical moment, and the energy on the dance floor as the night went on was infectious.

For me, as their photographer, the combination of these two incredible venues provided endless opportunities to capture the essence of their day. From the timeless beauty of St Mary’s Church to the rustic charm of The Priory, every detail told a part of their story. The joy shared between Wendy and Roy, and the love and support from their family and friends, made the day feel truly special.

Reflecting on the day, it’s clear that weddings like Wendy and Roy’s are what make being a wedding photographer in Hertfordshire so rewarding. Both St Mary’s Church and The Priory are dream venues, offering a perfect mix of tradition, charm, and romance. Capturing these moments for Wendy and Roy was an honour, and I’m so grateful to have been part of their journey.
