Claire and Toby were married the weekend before last at Coltsfoot Country Retreat near Datchworth in Hertfordshire. It was a fantastic wedding with a super bunch of people.  From their pre-wedding shoot I knew that Claire and Toby were going to be great to spend time with and photograph and so it proved.

We’d been looking forward to photographing at Coltsfoot ever since Claire and Toby booked us at last year’s National Wedding Show.  Coltsfoot is one of our new favourite venues.  It’s self contained, has great accommodation on site, the food is wonderful and the staff helpful and attentive.  There’s plenty of interesting locations for photography.  And because Coltsfoot is in Hertfordshire you benefit from registrars with a relaxed and common-sense approach to photography during the ceremony.

Claire and Toby’s wedding day started off cloudy but the weather got progressively better as the day went on.  Guests were able to relax outside and we could carry on photographing outside even as night fell. With our lighting kit put to good use we got some great images.

Here are a few of our favourite photographs from the day.  Look out for the full gallery online in a few weeks.
