Lindsey and Ricardo – 29th March 2014

Lindsey and Ricardo were married at the Marriott Hanbury Manor in Ware on a very spring like day in late March.  

I met up with Lindsey preparing for the ceremony in her room at Hanbury Manor, having her hair styled and make up applied, with her mum, brother and bridesmaids keeping her company.

The wedding ceremony took place in the hotel’s Orangery, the bridesmaids led the way down the isle before Lindsey made her entrance, with the guiding hand of her mum, where Ricardo and his best man were waiting to greet her.  Also waiting patiently was Lindsey and Ricardo’s pet dog who looked very much part of the wedding party, also donning the theme colour purple, in the form of a dickie bow tie!

A champagne drinks reception followed the ceremony, along with time in the hotel grounds for group photo opportunities and shots of the newly married couple in the Spring sunshine, before making our way back inside for the wedding breakfast and speeches.  There was very much a relaxed atmosphere throughout and this is picked up in the style of some of Lindsey and Ricardo’s photographs, a selection for you to view are below.

Following the wedding breakfast, before the night time celebrations started, I took the newly married couple out into the gardens of the hotel for some time out, in order for me to capture the style of photographs I know they were hoping to see.  The weather was still dry but as the evening drew in, I was also able to capture some twilight shots before heading back inside for the first dance photos and the start of the party celebrations.

Congratulations to Lindsey and Ricardo on your wedding and thank you for asking me to cover you celebration, it was a pleasure.  I hope you like the photos within the blog, the rest are available to view at Doherty Photography Online Shop.
