Danielle and Christian had an intimate socially distanced wedding at Shendish Manor in Hertfordshire, with a ceremony at St Albans Registry Office.

The first stop was St Albans Registry Office, as you can see from the masks, this was still under fairly tight covid restrictions. I always loved a small, intimate wedding, but, I have to say, covering so many of them during covid has only built this love for a small wedding.

Next, we headed to Shendish Manor in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire. They had a small marquee outside the main building due to restrictions. Just a quick note - the meal was pizza and chips, which was all kinds of amazing.

We got to use the beautiful weather and lovely golden hour lighting for couple shots - I adore these couple shots! It helps that they're a gorgeous couple. You might also like to know that Danielle is wearing big warm socks and moccasins under her dress because she's both practical and glamorous. A girl after my own heart.

While evening receptions with dancing weren't a thing (thanks to covid) during this wedding. But, Danielle and Christian opted to have an outdoor first dance in the little temple the grounds of Shendish Manor. Honestly, this was the most beautiful way to have a first dance.

Danielle's family were in the USA and couldn't make it over for the wedding, so, a lot of the wedding was streamed and everyone as waving to each other via video chat.

While this wasn't the wedding the couple would have had if covid hadn't been a thing, I think it was absolutely perfect and the restrictions led to something even more intimate and warm.
