Photographing Here

Where A Lot Of Cambridge Weddings End Up

Many of the weddings I photograph here follow a ceremony somewhere else in the city, so the day arrives already underway and the afternoon is about the people rather than the formalities.

Being in the middle of town means guests turn up without a drive, which changes the mood of an evening more than most couples expect.

The receptionInside

Function space that works whatever the weather does, which around Cambridge is worth having as a certainty rather than a hope.

On the doorstep. If the room is busy or the light indoors has gone, it gives you somewhere completely different without anybody needing a car.

Often The Second Half Of The Day

If you are marrying elsewhere in Cambridge and coming on here, it is worth having both halves covered by the same person. Send me your date and I'll come back the same day.

Questions

Asked About This Venue

We are marrying elsewhere in Cambridge. Can you cover both?

Yes, and it is usually the better way to do it. One person across the whole day means nothing falls between the ceremony and the reception.

Is there anywhere outside for photographs?

Parker's Piece is a few minutes away and Jesus Green is not much further. Both are far better than anything immediately outside a city hotel.

How long do you need for the family photographs?

Longer than the list you wrote, generally. Fifteen to twenty minutes is realistic for most groups, and it goes faster if a couple of people know to round everybody up.

Can you photograph the evening?

Yes. The evening in a hotel is often the loosest part of the day and usually where the best of it happens.
