DANCING FOR THE PRIME MINISTER?
BROCKET HALL WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
Brocket Hall in Hertfordshire has a long and winding road, literally like many English country piles and equally historically. This place is rich with highly charged historical and showbiz narrative including it being the location for Roxy and Ronnie's untimely swimming pool exits from Eastenders in 2017; note to brides everywhere not to attempt a midnight dip in your wedding gown! Former owner, William Lamb, Queen Victoria's first serving Prime Minister has an unfortunate but intriguingly racy Wiki entry for his period of ownership. Lady Caroline, his wife, infamously dallianced with one Lord Byron, the English romantic poet. During a banquet held for Byron at Brocket Hall, the lady of the house had herself served from a large silver dish, naked - much to the embarrassment of PM Lamb, who was known to entertain the Queen at the house quite often.
As a wedding venue, Brocket Hall is one of those list tickers in terms of grandeur and grounds and if 'meandering river running through said grounds' is also on that account of wishes, then strike that one from your directory too. If you want dreamy Englishman's castle, it's perfect. And so here we are for this posting; an American bride and ex-pat, now Californian groom, celebrating the start of married life in one of the south's more cherished Pillars of Quaint. For my photographer friends who listen to the FujiCast podcast, I'm happy to share that the following wedding pictures are all shot on the superb Fujifilm X-T3.
