Charlotte & Justin’s Wedding at Pendley Manor

Elegant ceremony, playful reception, and a sparkler finish

Charlotte & Justin’s wedding took place at Pendley Manor Hotel in Tring, a classic Hertfordshire venue that works beautifully for elegant ceremonies and lively receptions. From bridal prep in the Manor, an emotional Oak Room ceremony, and confetti on the staircase, to relaxed garden portraits, bouncy castle fun, speeches in the Harcourt Ballroom, and a sparkler send-off to finish the night, their day was full of personality and energy.

On a beautiful summer day, Charlotte and Justin exchanged vows at the picturesque Pendley Manor Hotel in Tring, Hertfordshire. The venue, a stunning Grade-II listed manor, provided the perfect setting for the couple’s special day.

The bride, Charlotte, got ready with all her bridesmaids in the bridal suite at the hotel, while the groom, Justin, got ready at home before arriving at the venue in a classic Aston Martin. The ceremony, held in the Oak Room, was a beautiful and emotional occasion, with Charlotte’s dad looking particularly proud as he walked his daughter down the aisle.

After the ceremony, with the help of toastmaster Simon Shirley, I took a confetti shot and then a group shot of the newlyweds and all their guests standing on the stairs that lead to the Harcourt Ballroom. During the reception, guests were entertained with a bouncy castle and swing ball. During this period, I took more group portraits in the hotel’s picturesque grounds and then some couple portraits.

The wedding breakfast was served in the Harcourt Ballroom. The couple had scratch cards as wedding favors and it was great capturing the reactions around the room as guests celebrated their small winnings. After the meal, speeches were given by the father of the bride, the groom, and the groom’s eldest son, who was the best man.

Following speeches, I took more portraits of the couple this time using the front of the manor house and the magnificent staircase.

The evening entertainment saw a packed dance floor. My coverage finished with a sparkler shot of the couple walking through a channel of their cheering guests, all waving sparklers. It was a great way to end my coverage of the day.

As a wedding photographer, it was an honor to be a part of Charlotte and Justin’s special day at the beautiful Pendley Manor Hotel.

  • Reliving the day through perfectly captured photos

    We used Andy and Gene as our wedding photographers and couldn’t have found anyone better. Andy was really helpful throughout the process leading up to the wedding.

    On the day, they were both amazing, taking us away for a few moments on our own and getting great shots of our guests too. Every part of the day was captured perfectly, and looking back through the photos really is like reliving the moment.

    I couldn’t recommend them more. Thank you so much!

    Charlotte & Justin

FAQs

Yes. I photograph weddings at Pendley Manor regularly and know the Oak Room, Harcourt Ballroom, gardens, and staircase well, including how to use each space at different points in the day.

Absolutely. Group photos are kept efficient so guests can get back to enjoying the day.

I often use the gardens, the front of the Manor House, and the staircase, keeping portraits relaxed and time-efficient.

Most couples book around 10 hours, which usually covers speeches, first dances, and evening atmosphere. Extra hours can be added if you’d like me to stay later.
