I recently photographed a wedding for my good friends Charlotte and Andy at this venue. We chose to have an outdoor ceremony, which fortunately worked out well with the weather. The hotel also provides catering and a bar for evening guests. My overall experience was great; the hotel staff were friendly and the grounds were perfect for capturing the images we wanted. We even had the chance to explore the grounds and take a leisurely walk, allowing the bride and groom to have some alone time before the reception.

### Tips for Choosing a Venue

1. Visit the Venue:

If possible, visit the venue in person to get a feel for the space and its suitability for your needs.

2. **Read Reviews:** Look for reviews from multiple sources to get a balanced perspective.

3. **Consider the Weather:** Make sure the venue has a good plan B for bad weather if you’re planning an outdoor ceremony.

4. **Speak to Staff:** Discuss your requirements with the venue staff to ensure they can accommodate your vision.

5. **Ask for Recommendations:** Get recommendations from friends, photographers, and celebrants with experience with the venue.

The party

After the cake cutting, everyone got straight on the dancefloor, and the dancefloor was packed all evening. The live musician kept everyone entertained all evening.

The evening ended with Jagerbombs all round, which was hilarious, and everyone had a great time. The whole Intimate – Fusion wedding was everything I love about weddings, from the romantic vows to the awesome live band.

Harrow Wedding Photography

The Vibrant Harrow

Have you ever stopped to think about the rich history and vibrant culture that surrounds us every day, right here in the heart of Harrow? From its humble beginnings as a small hamlet of farms at the foot of Harrow Hill, to the bustling town center it is today, Harrow has seen centuries of growth and change.

Photography and Harrow

One of the most fascinating aspects of Harrow’s history is its connection to the world of photography. Did you know that Harrow played a significant role in the growth of the photographic industry in the UK? The American Eastman Kodak company built a large industrial premises in Wealdstone in 1890, and by 1965 there were over 100 buildings on a 55-acre site at Kodak Harrow. This facility operated for 125 years, leaving a lasting legacy on the town.

As a photographer, I am constantly inspired by the rich history and diverse culture of Harrow. I specialize in capturing the beauty and emotion of weddings, blending traditional and modern styles to create truly stunning images. Whether you are looking for a cultural wedding photographer to capture the unique traditions of your special day, a documentary wedding photographer to tell the story of your love naturally and unobtrusively, or a luxury wedding photographer to create editorial-worthy images that will take your breath away, I am here to bring your vision to life.

The Historical Kodak

Just as Harrow has evolved over the centuries, so too has the art of photography. With a keen eye for detail and a passion for storytelling, I strive to create images that will stand the test of time. Like the iconic chimney of Kodak Harrow, my photographs serve as landmarks in the narrative of your love story, capturing moments that you will treasure for a lifetime.So, if you are looking for a photographer who can beautifully capture the essence of your wedding day in Harrow, look no further. Let’s create something truly magical together.
