8 local wedding photographers showcase their favourite images

Some of the region's talented photographers showcase what they deem the ultimate wedding shot.

Photography is a vital part of weddings and can capture all the different emotions while telling the story of each special day. When the cake has been eaten and the flowers have wilted, photographs will take you back in time to those little moments you might have forgotten about and allow you to relive the day. Finding the right photographer is essential; the supplier should make you feel comfortable while slipping into the background and capturing all those key moments.

Here at Your Herts & Beds Wedding HQ, we’ve spoken with some of the top photographers from the regions to showcase their favourite couple shots...

Your wedding day should be all about the gorgeous and magical fun. With the documentary/natural approach to your wedding photography it means that you won't get a shouty/bossy photographer running around telling you what you need to do, instead I'm unobtrusive, and often get mistaken for a guest.

I have always been passionate about photography and love shooting weddings in particular. My style is relaxed, natural and documentary. Whether it's photographing a beautiful bride walking down the aisle, capturing a tender moment between a groom and his mum, or simply taking gorgeous pictures of all the little details you've spent months preparing.

New app launches to simplify one of marriage’s biggest admin headaches

Changing your name after marriage can mean updating details with countless organisations, from banks and subscriptions to official documents and employers. New app Name Change Navigator aims to make the process easier, guiding newlyweds through each step from one platform. Founded by Rebecca Dainton, Head of Product at Flutter UK & Ireland, the app was created to reduce the stress and mental load associated with name changes. It supports a range of naming journeys, including traditional surname changes, double-barrelling, blended surnames and other choices following marriage, civil partnership, divorce or personal identity changes. The launch comes as younger generations increasingly rethink traditional naming conventions, with technology offering a more streamlined approach to this often-overlooked part of newlywed life.

Are Brits risking their finances by avoiding the pre-wedding money talk?

Are Brits risking their finances by avoiding the pre-wedding money talk?

For many couples, talking about money can feel far less romantic than talking about the wedding itself. But as more Brits prepare to tie the knot — and with stronger legal rights on the horizon for unmarried couples — new research suggests we may be leaving some important financial conversations until it's too late. From avoiding money talk on first dates to steering clear of prenups, the findings reveal a nation surprisingly reluctant to discuss how to protect their finances, even when differences over money are already putting relationships under strain. Two thirds of Brits (66%) say they would not get a prenuptial agreement before marriage (48%) or have already opted against one (17%) - compared to 42% in both France and Spain. New findings from Europe's second largest neobank, bunq, reveal that Brits are markedly more resistant to prenuptial agreements than their continental neighbours – despite Britain's reputation as the less romantic nation.

Couples could legally get married anywhere - legal comment

The UK Government has unveiled a new consultation to reform the wedding laws in England and Wales which is exploring how wedding ceremonies are conducted, particularly looking at wedding venues. The proposals are seeking to modernise the outdated legislation in this area which will eventually provide couples with greater freedom to decide where and how they will get married. At present, when a couple gets married, they need to have their legal ceremony in a licensed building or a registered place of worship. The existing laws have a further requirement that couples must ensure the individual officiating their wedding ceremony is either an authorised religious minister or a civil registrar.

But there is an interesting part of the wedding story that receives far less attention: what happens to those meaningful details afterwards. Here, founder Kate Legodi of Coeur et Maman, specialists in conservation-quality printed photo mounts, shares her advice...
