Hertfordshire Wedding Photographer

 

 

 

Hertfordshire Wedding Photographer Paul Rogers

 

Before I became a Hertfordshire wedding photographer, I married Helen at St Ippolyts church just outside Hitchin in Hertfordshire, where we now live with our two children and cockapoo Molly. I was a newspaper photographer at The Times in London when we got married, and we didn’t want lots of posed portraits and fuss from the photography.

So I asked a fellow photojournalist at The Independent to photograph our wedding. We got some brilliant, natural photos, and hardly remember being photographed at all.

After 20 years photographing wars, celebrities, Royalty and sport for The Times, I became a wedding photographer. Over 300 weddings later and I still love watching every story unfold.

Choosing the right photographer

Planning a wedding is hard work. Getting the photographer right is the one decision that sticks with couples for years after the wedding. So what kind of things should you be thinking about when looking for your perfect wedding photographer? The most obvious one is someone whose photos you absolutely love. All photographers see the world differently, and finding one with the kind of vision and style that you really love and appreciate is hugely important.

Why Couples Commission A Photojournalist

One of the most common things I hear when talking with couples is that they feel uncomfortable posing for photos. They don’t feel those kinds of photos show them in the same way their family and friends see them. That’s where I come in. My expertise is in finding beautiful compositions and meaningful moments between people, and capturing them quickly and quietly (I use totally silent cameras) so that those moments are saved forever. You won’t see many (if any!) staged or posed pictures on this website. Everything here has been observed and photographed naturally. It’s what my clients love, and if you like what you see here, it’s what I can do at your wedding too.

Planning a Hertfordshire Wedding?

I grew up in Buntingford near Royston, while Helen grew up in Hitchin, but we didn’t meet until we were at University in Cardiff. After living in London for a while, we moved to St Albans before settling in St Ippolyts, a small village just South of Hitchin.

I photograph weddings across Hertfordshire as well as the rest of the UK and abroad. As much as I love a big London wedding, or being flown out to California or Italy for a wedding party, my heart lies in Hertfordshire, and it’s always a pleasure to be working close to home!

I regularly cover weddings at Hatfield House and have worked at other super Hertfordshire wedding venues like The Grove in Watford, and the stunning Micklefield Hall, and been a Luton Hoo wedding photographer.  Have a look at some recent Hertfordshire wedding photography below, then make sure to make an inquiry using the button below.
