To enable this to be taken you will be asked to assemble behind the Bride & Bridegroom before you leave The Cathedral After this photograph has been taken, all guests will be directed to make their way out of the right hand side door and assemble on the steps for another group style photo. The second Photographer will then be able to take a photo of The Bride & Bridegroom at the West Door Of The Cathedral
