Sashi and Alex - St Albans micro wedding

Micro wedding… now theres two words I’d not heard used together until this year.

Sashi and Al contacted me just a few weeks ago after deciding to go ahead with their tiny wedding celebration in St Albans. It was to be my first wedding back after the pandemic postponed all my bookings since the end of March.

I was expecting it to be very different… very restrictive… and also even a bit weird. It was certainly all of them! From seeing their small number of family and friends that were allowed to attend spaced apart inside the registry office, to watching a reading being given through a face mask! Not to mention me having to shoot the ceremony whilst wearing a face mask. It was such a surreal experience. But also one that was still beautiful to witness, and be fortunate enough to photograph.

I’ve shot nearly 500 weddings, and I can honestly say this was the first where I arrived and I wasn’t the tiniest bit nervous. I can only presume that because it had been six months since my last wedding I was so excited to be photographing a wedding again.

Sashi and Al were the perfect couple. They totally got my relaxed style of photography and just wanted the four hours I was with them to be documented in my honest, fun, and emotive style I’ve always given to my couples.

I’m used to photographing wedding days that are normally 12+ hours… sometimes I don’t leave until well after midnight, so it felt very odd saying goodbye as the newlyweds and their friends and family sat down for their meal. But as I now look back at all the images I shot (and also the slideshow below) I’m really pleased with the story I’ve told from their unique wedding.

Thanks for letting me be a part of your special day guys!
