An intimate French celebration full of love and emotion
Some weddings prove that size doesn’t matter. This intimate gay wedding at Sopwell House in St Albans was filled with more love and emotion than weddings ten times bigger. Our two French grooms shared a day that was elegant, heartfelt, and so full of joy that even I found myself misting up behind the camera.
Sopwell House is one of those rare venues that feels equally suited to both grand affairs and intimate same-sex weddings like this one. Its elegant interiors and landscaped gardens created the perfect backdrop for vows that had everyone in tears, followed by laughter and champagne-fuelled celebrations that showed why French weddings always know how to party.
One of my favourite parts of the day was the atmosphere — personal, genuine, and deeply emotional. Without a huge crowd, every glance and every touch carried so much meaning. The grooms didn’t just get married; they celebrated who they are, surrounded by family and friends who supported them wholeheartedly.
