Wedding photography in Bedfordshire, UK

This sunny June wedding at the historic White Hart in Ampthill, Bedfordshire, was everything the couple dreamed of—a rustic, family-friendly celebration. The venue was beautifully adorned with white rose florals and a rustic-themed cake, creating a warm, joyful atmosphere.

Breaking from tradition, the two brides chose to spend the morning getting ready together, surrounded by their family, which kept things wonderfully relaxed. They decided to keep their wedding dresses a surprise from each other until just before the civil ceremony, leading up to a sweet first-look mini photoshoot.

The day was filled with laughter and surprises, including one from Emily, who had secretly booked The Tailors Surprise Singers. Disguised as hotel staff, they served guests before erupting into a surprise song performance after dessert, dedicated to the couple and their families. It was a fun, uplifting moment that everyone loved.

Here are some photos from their joyful and lively wedding day, capturing the essence of their special celebration.

Kind words from the couple

“Claire is an absolutely fantastic photographer and videographer. We chose Claire to photograph our wedding and we could not have asked for a more professional and talented individual. She also did a little video of our wedding for us… You will not be disappointed if you choose Claire as your photographer.”
